==Was Judas sanctified?== | |||
In John 17, Jesus prays: | |||
:''While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. <ref>The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Jn 17:12.</ref> | |||
:''I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Jn 17:15–21.</ref> | |||
And in John 18, we read: | |||
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Jn 18:8–9.</ref> | |||
Jesus makes it clear in his prayer that Judas is already lost. Judas is not included in Jesus prayer because Jesus is praying for those that are not lost. That is why he singles out Judas as being lost. But John also says that Jeus fulfiled his prayer that he had not lost one. This also makes it clear that Judas was not one of the ones given to Jesus by the Father. | |||
William Branham defines sanctification: | |||
:''The word sanctification means, “to be cleaned and set aside for service.”<ref>54-0516 - Questions And Answers (Law Having A Shadow</ref> | |||
The word "sanctify" means to be set free from sin. | |||
Judas was someone who stole funds while he was with Jesus. He was of the Devil. He was never sanctified regardless of what William Branham believed. | |||
