To: ebb tide

YOU are the one who made the comment. It’s YOUR responsibility to explain yourself not mine to explain what you believe. I’d be accused of mind reading if I did that.

And Dismas is who? I never saw that name in Scripture. It’s not in any of the accounts of the crucifixion.

I’m sure that if Judas had asked, Jesus would have forgiven him. And in light of the possibility that you’ll ask why I suspect that, it’s because when Jesus was hanging on the cross, as He looked down on those who were crucifying Him, He prayed, *Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.*

But since Judas wasn’t at Antioch when the disciples were first called Christians, then it was by default referring to the other disciples who WERE followers of Jesus. That deflection isn’t going to work.

So the question remains and remains unanswered (as usual).

Are you saying that the disciples weren’t saved?
