I know there are many different nominations and beliefs and opinions about the subject of sin. So here goes. Have any of you heard about the UNFORGIVABLE SIN? If you have exactly what is this unforgivable sin. At the same time I thought all sin can be forgiven?
Just a comment to add about suicide. I do believe that suicide is a sin. Throwing a gift back in Gods face. Life is how you make it. It is all in the out look of life. Do I know anything about suicide. I think there was two cousins by marriage. Step Grandmother and Uncle by marriage all commited suicide. The uncle was hardest because my Step dad is the one that found his body. At one time it was taught in the church that people who commit suicide go to hell, but there is a more liberal belief that people who have gone so far and commited such a desperate act has been forgiven because they are considered mentally ill. I for one do not know, It is Gods ultimate decision on what happens. Murder is murder and killing yourself is murder. I dreamed about my uncle many times and the whole family both sides were effected. There was lots of blame going around, but the blame that does go around is all scape goats. No one can blame anybody for a choice that one person made to end his/her life. That person that commited suicide is responsible for his/her choice period.
I think this is murder, however I think it is up to God to decide. He will take into consideration mind-set, etc. If someone is attacking me or my children, I could possibly murder them in self defense. I don't believe that God would really punish me for this. He will take all things into consideration.
Not to disagree or disrespect PUMPKIN. But look up the word Faith. I know there is a living God, of a living Universe. But Faith is Faith. Believing in something that can not be proved by a scientific explanation. Very few have come close by having a after death experience. But close is not there. And even their storys conflict. So as the good Christian you are to suggest that I only half believe in God is being JUDGEMENTAL. I think I saw something about that in the Bible. Have a great night. God Bless!!!
That is the thing we never know. God is the ultimate Judge. It is not up to us, but I do believe that there are certain things that God consider sin. Throwing the gift of life back in Gods face because in my own personal heart that is what life is a gift. That we need to learn to do our best to love others. Love is the greatest experiance to give and share with others.
I would like to also say that there are some who even argue the defination of hell and what it really means. In some versions of the bible hell is considered the grave. The grave is where the dead go. So is hell the grave? Or burning sulpher of continuous punishment? Although the core of the earth is pretty hot. What do you think. The only reason why I mention this is because hell has been brought up and many people look or feel differently about what hell is or where it could be, for example some hold the belief that this earth and all of us here is a form of hell. I do not believe that at all. It is all in the out look the person has in life that makes the difference.
Hell is one mans concept. The idea of a negative force, that goes against good came from a so called prophet, from a religion that came & died many centurys before Mosses. Concept, idea, thought, comes from living man. I believe idea, thought, is influenced by God. But it still comes from man.
MARK: 28-29 - (Jesus speaking)" I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemies against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
And for those who believe in Purgatory. I believe the only way to "free" those loved ones is to seriously forgive them.
Mark 28:29. Very cool reading. Still Sin & Hell can be argued till the end of time. Way back I think on page 2, I stated the only true UNFORGIVABLE SIN is rejecting God (Jesus Christ) if you know of him. The Bible says if you repent, accept Christ as you Lord & Savior & change your evil ways you will be forgiven. I know no human can truly undestand God's total unconditional love for all. And is not my place to judge. And I don't even try. For a person like Jeffery Dhamer to repent and be born again in prison. If in fact he did, he to will be forgiven and given eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Just a thought.
Yes, you are correct from what I know. Rejection of Jesus Christ would prevent someone from eternal life. However, it is not just for those who know Him. There are missionaries around the world who have and are bringing the promises of Jesus to many. Ultimately the world cannot say they didn't have the opportunity to receive Jesus. For the Bible says- You cannot get to the Father, except through the Son.
Also, denying the Holy Spirit would be the same as rejecting Jesus because even unbelievers have a spirit. That is either 1) self-spirit or 2) demon spirit. So by rejecting Jesus, a non-believer also rejects the Holy Spirit of the Living God.
