The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Do Redeemed People Go To Hell?

There was an online article that said that the Catholic teaching that that everyone is redeemed but everyone is not saved.  The saved are the people of Roman Catholicism, and the saved have to have faith as a Catholic would.  Pope Francis made it seem like all the "redeemed" will also be in heaven even hateful atheists!  According to this article, it said that Judas (one of the twelve) was redeemed by the blood of Christ but it stated that he is suffering in hell because he was not saved.  I have seen Catholic theologians disagree that Judas is in hell!  The Catholics think that those in purgatory will enter heaven and be saved.
     The Bible teaches that the redeemed go to heaven.  Someone who is damned and in hell was never redeemed to begin with.   Everyone of the elect will be redeemed.  All of the saved are redeemed, and all of the redeemed are saved.  If a person is redeemed, their sins are forgiven.   If their sins are forgiven, they are saved and will be assured of heaven by His Spirit and Word!  Lets mediate on the written Word of God on the redeemed being saved:

Psalm 31:5 KJV
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Galatians 3:13 KJV
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
1 Peter 1:18 KJV
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Revelation 5:9 KJV
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Ephesians 1:7 KJV
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 1:14 KJV
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 4:30 KJV
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
