I’ve got no real issues with God being just or unjust, bringing it back to the original post, (as sovereign as God is with all things), i wonder how just or unjust we are when we interact with those who come to us with the most blatantly unjust past…?

Correction above, and I will add that I reason none of us respond to all the light of truth we can (Rom. 1) and we all embrace evil to different extents (John 3, Rom. 3, 6) even as within a Reformed model none can believe in Christ unless chosen (Rom. 8-Eph. 1) .

Therefore, God would not be unjust in predestining a person like Judas to commit further evil for the greater good.

1. I really like the red hands…very artistic.

2. I am tired and have spent many hours on PhD revisions and theological blogging this week for new articles on thekingpin68 and satire and theology June 1. Plus I am on a new treatment for sleep apnea, and so I hope you can understand a short reply. Cheers my friend.:)

3.Did Judas have a choice? Was the life of Judas predestined for evil?

Within a compatibilistic (Reformed often) model (please search on my thekingpin68 blog if one is interested), Judas would have been a secondary cause of his actions (as could have been demonic beings, or angels hypothetically), and yet God was the primary cause of his actions. God wills all things and simultaneously wills human actions as the first cause. The human actions are free not in a libertarian sense as God simultaneously wills them, and as well Judas could only make choices within his nature (corrupted human via fall), but free in a limited but significant sense as Judas was not forced or coerced to act in a certain way, although he was definitely influenced. Judas and demonic beings would have evil motives in the self-embraced actions against Christ while God’s motives, and angels motives, if God’s servants were involved, would have been holy in the death of Christ.

Yes, to both is the answer.
