Do you think Judas went to Heaven or Hell?

Your points are noted, but I disagree.  Sorry, nothing personal, I'm just not interested in opening the can of worms of a deep-dive into exegesis.

No worries.  I come off as smug to most people at most times, especially initially.  A few people who have known me a long time still consider me thus.  Most who have known me a long time soften their view extraordinarily.  I hear this phrase all the time in my life, "When I first me you, I hated you," or the more unfortunate "When I first met you, I thought you hated me."  Often people have thought I was angry, because, naturally, I'm a frowner.  So I've tried to smile at people more often in person.  Likewise, I will take your initial evaluation of my smugness and throw it on the heap, which adds to my desire to improve this weakness of mine.  Let's reevaluate down the road and see if your response to me has softened.

I'm sorry it grates you.  I myself do not like smugness in others.

I certainly do enjoy flippant comments.  If they are meant flippantly.  Was yours meant flippantly or literally?

I am certainly stubborn and extremely strong-willed.  Sometimes this carries over into my smugness.  I consider the former two to be neutral adjectives, for which I hope to use them for great good on earth, but I do accept that these strengths are, at times, kryptonite for me.  The latter is never good, so I'll keep working on it.

As I say, I am confident in my understanding of the scriptures, but my behavior is and will always be a work in progress.

You'll be keeping me on my toes, duly noted.
