Christians: Do you think Pontius Pilate worked for or against God?

Question

It was God's plan that Jesus be killed, so wasn't Pilate doing his duty? Did Pilate get punished for killing Jesus?

Answer 1

Pilate did not want Jesus in custody. For he wanted the murderer Barrabas. He saw Jesus not a threat to the Roman Empire and wanted him free instead why he asked three times. Why you want this Barrabas free? So in reality Pilate did not get punished. He was doing the will of GOD which GOD had planned.

Answer 2

Yes, pilate did work FOR god as the roman emporer was to be worshipped as devine at this time in history and pilate worked FOR the roman emporer tiberious.

Thus it is undisputeable that pilate worked for god.

Next question please.

EDIT: So let me get this straight about what most of you slack jawed yokels are saying. You are saying that a man who has a history of barbarism and overreacting and violence against the subjects that he watched over and the provinces he ruled was spineless and indiffferent to a preacher who went around competing with, and claimed to be divine on the same level as the emporer of rome?

Thats like taking the pepsi challenge and choosing sprite. I'm hard pressed to think of something more preposterous than that.

Answer 3

it relatively is extensive-unfold simply by fact the Fraudulent Letter of Pontius Pilate, it became into written in 1928 via journalist William Percival Crozier. regularly the story claims that the letter is held in the Library of Congress, and / or claims that a technique or the different it became into 'lined up' or 'hidden' via regardless of team the author is making an attempt to anger people at. The Library of Congress themes right here assertion related to this; 'The Library of Congress has won somewhat some inquiries over the years some purported letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar concerning to Jesus Christ. The Library would not have this variety of letter in it relatively is collections.' curiously Pilate severely wrote approximately each little thing bearing on his governorship to Seneca and others (no longer Tiberius) yet even nonetheless he mentions each occasion of capital punishment getting used he by no potential reported any Jesus Christ, or king of the Jews, or the confrontation in the temple, or the different adventure imagined to be approximately Jesus Christ. The historic past of that quantity of time is truthfully documented simply by fact the Roman's took troublesome record preserving to heart, incredibly of cutting-edge activities, political intrigue, and proceedings. yet there is 0 information of Jesus Christ or something bearing on Christians earlier than a hundred-2 hundred advert. maximum early Christian custom is mislabelled Mythraism. there is 0 information of Jesus Christ's life exterior of gospels written centuries after his dying, and he in all probability did no longer exist. yet this is not any ask your self to sane people no longer born right into a cult.

Answer 4

The bible never says what the final outcome of Pilate was. We do not know if He was saved from God's wrath. He did wash his hands from the matter, however, and it seems he only did this based on pressure from the Jews.

The bible makes it clear that if you believe in Christ and repent of your sins, you will be saved. I'm sure Pilate was given every opportunity to repent and believe.

Answer 5

Pilate says at one point "I wash my hands of this" meaning that the guilt is not on him but rather those who wanted to crucify Jesus.

-Of course God's plan would go the way He planned it- I do not believe he did get punished, because he also said he found no guilt in Jesus.

Answer 6

Pilate reluctantly did his job as a Roman ruler. God will judge. Those who act act in accordance with the plan of God albeit sometimes unintentionally. God knows the intentions of the heart. Even Satan is a servant of God but he thinks otherwise and will be compensated according to his intentions.

When someone can cause their enemies to serve them is this not God?

Nevertheless we are judged according to our works, the intentions of the heart to do good or evil.

Those who are cleansed by the blood of Christ are wise.

Answer 7

God did not force Pilate's hand, he forsaw and used it for His purposes.

If Pilate did not repent of his actions and turn to the one that he persecuted for forgiveness, then ,yes.(as guilty,as Judas)

Answer 8

I don't think so. When Jesus said "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do..." he was referring to the soldiers who were simply following orders. Probably also applies to Pilate, who didn't really know or care who Jesus was, he just wanted to maintain order in Israel.

Answer 9

The history channel or National geo. covered this.
PP played with his winky and let the mob kill Jesus... but just because most were Jews;; the Jews are not responsible for the stupid pagan mob,, who acted like pagans after a sports game.
PP washed his hands... because the mob was out of control.
If your asking did PP go to hell ??? I doubt it.

Answer 10

Both, actually. Some creatures, like Satan, serve God only because they are tricked into it, while other creatures serve God willingly. You might as well ask if Judas was serving God. he was, but not on purpose.
