Great work! Have you read Sergei Bulgakov’s Judas Iscariot: Apostle and traitor?

Yes. It's very good. There's also this video by Dr. Green that is obviously influenced by Bulgakov. In it he talks about our "shadow selves" which I think you'll really like.

Incredible read. Maybe or maybe not so surprisingly, I too have had those thoughts about Judas and pilate... Feeling a bit sorry for them, wondering what I would have done... What would thet have written about me? To your point, we have all been Judas.

Thanks bro. There was an extra bit I was thinking about where Jesus says “woe to this man,” and that he’d have been better to have never been born. It kinda gets at that question of what would’ve been written about us. Maybe more on that sometime.

These things are hard to reconcile for sure.... Pharaoh's heart hardened....Moses not getting to see the promised land.... The prodigal son ...Why Saul gets to become Paul... I could go on

All I know is I'm not God and I don't need to understand it all.
