Yes Satan "entered" Judas but well after this point in Judas' history and Jesus' ministry. Jesus, not me, said to the 12, and I quote: "one of you is the Devil' smack dab in the middle of the time JLB claims Judas was a saved, believer.Scriptures clearly show us that Satan "entered" Judas.
Uh, no. Men are not devils.
Jesus knew Judas did not believe from the beginning AND what master he served. And it wasn't Him.

John 6:70 (LEB) Jesus replied to them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?”Take your "Uh, no" up with Jesus and the wording He used to distinguish Judas from the others.
Even calling him the devil (or a devil, or being led by The Devil depending on how you interpret Jesus) and distinguishing him from the others well before Judas betrayed Jesus.
Scripture does not contradict so how does one reconcile John 6:39 with John 17:12? John 6:39 says He shall lose none that the Father has given Him and yet John 17:12 says He lost one, the son of perdition.John 6:39 "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day."
No. It shows that Judas was not given to Jesus. Judas was set apart.
He received insight from the Holy Spirit when he said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Mat 16:16; Mar 8:29)hello Jim Parker, dirtfarmer here
Do you think that Peter truly understood who Jesus was when he denied him those 3 times?
He was never lost because he was never given to Christ. Those who the Father gave him, he kept.
v.28 is clear enough. If Judas had "entered through the door" from John 10:9, then he would have receibed the free gift of eternal life. And Jesus said that those He gives eternal life will never perish. So it should be clear that Judas never believed, because he did perish.27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. John 10:27-29
Many followed Jesus, but then balked at the idea of His messiahship. He really followed the money (bag).Did Judas Iscariot, hear the Voice of Jesus and follow Him... for 3 1/2 years?
There is no evidence that Judas "entered through the door" and was saved.IOW, Judas Iscariot was of "His sheep", for a while, then fell away.
Why does everyone think of "lost" as only referring to the opposite of being "saved"??If Judas was not of "His sheep", then how could he end up being "lost".
The answer is right before our faces. And thanks for bolding it for me.12 While I was with them in the world,I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12
Dido. Judas wasn't given to the Son by the Father, obviously. Just as obvious as eternal life means, eternal life-to never perish.John 6:39 says He shall lose none that the Father has given Him and yet John 17:12 says He lost one, the son of perdition

John 17:12 (NASB) While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
Not everyone does.
People who have eternal life never perish. Judas perished.
Case closed, as the saying goes.
Nevertheless, if Judas was a devil, the love of God was not in him.
John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
When was the devil ever righteous? When did his sons become righteous?
The flaw in your 'answer' is that Jesus is infalable, but Peter is not. Peter also said "I will never deny you" ... but that didn't turn out to be true, did it? It has already been pointed out to you, by others, that Jesus corrects Peter's misconception almost immediately: (John 6:70-71) Respectfully, the one of the apostles who was "a devil" had probably not "come to believe and know that you are the Christ".
My point was and still is, that Jesus not only knew Judas did not believe from the beginning he also knew who Judas' master was. Right during the time JLB says Judas was saved. Even calling him the devil (or a devil, or being led by The Devil depending on how you interpret Jesus) and distinguishing him from the others well before Judas betrayed Jesus.
Jesus knew Judas did not believe from the beginning AND what master he served. And it wasn't Him.
These facts are clear:
Yes Judas was counted as one of the 12 from early in Jesus' ministry until the betrayal prior to Jesus' death.
Yes Judas was counted as the one of the 12 who was the devil.
My point was and still is, that Jesus not only knew Judas did not believe from the beginning he also knew who Judas' master was. Right during the time JLB says Judas was saved.
#1Which post number was it where I said Judas was saved?
Eternal life is what we have the hope of inheriting, at the end of a faithful life, that has produced fruit unto holiness
Been meaning to ask; When does it end for you? What makes you think anyone is ever saved or ever truly receives eternal life, given your view? On your view, people could stop believing even after the judgment (in the New Heaven) and well, 'loose' their eternal life.Those who are saved, receive their salvation in the end, in reality: ie the thing they have hoped for.
In fact, since the OP basically makes the claim that Judas was saved for a while, the onus is on the OP for providing Scripture that supports that claim. Which has not been provided.You will need to provide scripture for such a claim, that Judas never entered the door, which is Jesus Christ.
Everyone He spoke to "heard His voice". Doesn't mean salvation.Judas did exactly the same as the other 11 disciples, which is hear His Voice and follow Him.
Please provide which verse says he ever believed, much less for a while. Or quit making claims that the Bible doesn't support.Judas believed for a while
Pleae provide which verse says he was ever in the faith.He unfortunately did continue in the faith to the end, but fell away, and ended up betraying Jesus Christ.
