Any reason you're acting so aggressively? I don't think it's necessary to call that poster a Satanist.
I wouldn't say I was acting aggressively, but I would say I was being overly defensive in that post.
I was reacting to being told I was "right with the mullahs" and accused of believing that Jesus didn't die on the Cross, but that Judas did. I found that offensive in the extreme.
My subsequent response was attempting to be equally outrageous as a way of illustrating how stupid his comment appeared to me. I do not believe that he is a satanist and I didn't think he (or anyone) would think that was a serious comment. I guess I need to add the /sarcasm tag or be somehow more explicit, particularly when dealing with such emotional issues.
As to your other post, no, I don't believe in pre-destination in that sense, though someone had to play the role that Judas did in order for prophecy to be fulfilled. I don't know (and cannot know) if God may have directed events such that Judas acted as he did, but clearly he (Judas) is the one who made the choices that led to his own acts and sins. My point is that that is true of all of us, yet we are offered forgiveness. God did not say "I forgive everyone except the ones that these people think are really bad." No qualifications on salvation except belief in Jesus and that would apply to all, including Judas and Hitler. Whether they accepted that Grace is a totally different story and, again, unknowable, at least until we have a chance to ask directly. Me? I'm looking forward to that day, admittedly with some qualms, but then I believe and will hold to that belief, come what may.
