What a great and spiritually profitable way to spend 43 minutes! Both you, Joe, and Chloe make a great team and compliment each other superbly for the purpose of spiritual discussion. There are so many good points touched upon that it is hard to pick out the best; but I like the detail you provide about Jesus, concerning Judas, where He says: "Have I not chosen 12 and one of is a devil?". I Never considered that saying before in the context of apologetics, and particularly against the doctrines of 'forensic justification' and 'once saved always saved'.

Wasn’t Wycliff only reiterating what St. John wrote in his first letter concerning false teachers: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us”? 1 John 2:19. Similarly, St. Jude wrote that false teachers (or even disciples) have a particular destiny, namely, “the gloom of utter darkness.”

As I reflected on my question above, it occurred to me that today’s sinners are tomorrow’s saints and vice versa. So at any given point, we don’t really know the trajectory of someone’s spiritual life but should pray for and love them all the same. However, what if our spiritual leaders have themselves capitulated to the spirit of the age and are not teaching the truth of the faith? To use Joe’s analogy of the Holy Family, what if our Joseph has decided to compromise the purity of the Jewish faith and begins mingling all sorts of bizarre pagan practices with the Family’s practice of the faith but tries to persuade the family that the “god of surprises” works in, well, surprising ways?! Wouldn’t we be obligated to resist? Whose responsibility is it to overturn the tables at the temple?

I think that the when Jesus says "the harvest is great but the laborers are few" he is indicating that every Christian should be busy about his own work in the harvest. And this is because if we are always watching the work of others, even though they be called 'leaders', we are not actually paying attention to our own duties to help with the 'great harvest'.
