[Milton-L] Knowledge, free will, etc.

[jonnyangel]

This list often introduces a horse, and then collectively beats it to death.

On this subject, I'm curious as to why no one has brought up Judas in this
discussion?

Did God want Judas to betray Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane? Was it
Judas' "destiny"? I mean, anymore than God "wanted" Satan to succeed in the
fall of Adam and Eve, as if it were their destiny?

I'm appealing to the Milton theologians on the list (and I know you're out
there). 

My whack at the dead horse,

J
