So you believe Judas went to heaven?
I beleive the whole point of the theology in those lyrics is purely a Christian construct. Judas went to heaven only if he accepted Jesus as his savior.
This is not, I repeat this is not an attempt to evangelize you...It’s a question, just a question and nothingmore.
What is the current state of your heart? If you forgave someone wouldn’t it be for you as if the event that had come between you had never occurred? I mean in human terms, think about it: The love is there, the desire to forget is there, but the damage is still done. It’ imprinted now and takes work to make it go away, but it’s a decision, which is oftentimes much stronger than things done on simple loyalty, affinity, or attraction. It has become a sincere desire at that point. One that has owned up to something being seriously wrong to have made it happen, and is willing to tax the entire universe if only it could be made right again.
What do you think about things like that? It’s true that out of those beginnings some of the healthiest relationships are forged. For one, they have been tried by fire and have endured the test. For another they require total transparency...complete honesty, with ouselve before anyone else. Moment by moment when it has to be that way.
IMO, the thing that makes that theology so potent, is just that: the human analogy that runs smack through the heart of it. It’s the thing we aspire to be. It symbolizes the very best in us.
Who wouldn’t want that?
