The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

[Ronald Nolette]

To doubt the interpretation of men does not mean you doubt the Word of God. You’ll hear that often, how if you don’t agree with -an interpretation then you don’t believe the Word of God. for instance Judas is burning in an eternal hell forever because his repentance wasn’t really remorse. I’m not doubting Judas repented as it is written. Who really is doubting a man like Judas could repent? I’m only asking if the decision on what “repent” meant regarding a man who took the money back to those who paid him to betray Jesus and told them “I have sinned against innocent blood” where they said “what’s that to us?” …is it possible what repent translated regarding Judas can be traced back to the first men who got together and decided they didn’t want Judas to have genuine saving remorse? The same ones who regurgitate “we are just filthy sinners not deserving of Grace”? You don’t ever see the many contradictions? It’s not about doubting the Word of God. It’s doubting what we have done to the Word of God to back our (own) opinions.

Well t hen please tell me what interpretation of men you are doubting. I must have missed the part where you were pointing out mens opinions and not the Word of God.

That has a nice ring to it. But is it true?
How is that measured? Loving Jesus.

We love Jesus by taking him to our hearts and living our lives to please him. Just as we show our love for our spouses by taking them to our hearts and living our lives to please them.
