Judas Judged - OT/NT Series 17
Tristan Robert Lange said:

I know how the authors of the New Testament wrote of him, and understandably. But I have never taken Jesus\' words to be eternal judgment on Judas. He simply said it would have been better for him to never have been born and, given his fate, is that not true? Still, Christ tells us not to judge and I have always found it funny that Christians from the NT writers onward have done nothing BUT judge Judas. Then add in the antisemitism that carried on throughout the centuries with Judas\' name being a slur. NOTE: I am not saying your poem is doing that at all. In fact, I appreciate how you mention his remorse, which is rarely done. Just in that alone you humanize him, which is the right thing to do, imho. Your poem just got me thinking about Judas and his fate, including the smearing of this name throughout history. Steep consequence, indeed.

Anywho all of that to say you really got me thinking with this one, my dear glug...what? That\'s not what I said! I said my dear glug glug.

I swear, it\'s like P has a radar to know I\'ve returned. Incorrigible I tell you. Anywho, really awesome job on this Orchi! No matter how one look a glug (🙄), his is a glug tale. (😤). 🤣

A sad thought. I wonder how many used to visit his grave. If one thinks about it he was essential in the overall plan or outcome. If not for his betrayal Christ would not have been crucified and therefore not resurrected and there would be no martyrdom and no Christianity. He was a main player with the villain role in the passion play.

Orchi, this hymn carries real weight. It’s confident, grounded, and joy-forward without slipping into sentimentality. This praise is earned, and the seriousness holds even when you let Popeye glug and Ol’ Tom knit Scooby a tube sock on the side. That balance works really works! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Now this is a hymn that if any heard none understood a word. The Bible could be shortened into those two stanzas alone and no meaning lost. Unfortunate that many never hear that message as clear and concise as it is or maybe they just choose to ignore it. Well written Orchi
