Day 29...(Exodus 7,8; Psalms 29)..."Snakes, Blood, Frogs, and Gnats"
You would think Pharaoh would get message about complying with Moses message from God. A series of a snake, blood, frogs, and gnats did not sway him as each time his heart hardened. Did he have a choice with his hard heart? Was he like Judas? As I see it Pharaoh and Judas both had a difficult fate to give theological explanation. Did they have a choice? Did God harden their hearts. These questions perplex me. How do we explain the fate of Pharaoh and Judas?

This is a good question. It always brought me some comfort that the text says Pharoah hardened his own heart several times before it gives credit to God. I think that the Judas text is a very difficult one for us Arminians. Did he have a choice? Yes, absolutely. Was this a part of God's pre-determined plan for salvation of the human race? I think the answer must be yes, absoultely.
