1 | All sins pardoned, Mark 3;29 differs. | Mark 3:29 | Fred3 | 242510 | ||
The unforgivable sin described in the NT (Mark 3:29) All sinners are forgiven except for blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Atheist in essence blaspheme by saying their is no God. It seems contradictory to the idea of Jesus dying on the cross for the forgiveness of ALL our sins. Please shed some light on this matter. |

Hi, Fred... Welcome to the forum! Any given word occupies the context of a sentence, and given sentence occupies the context of a pericope, any given pericope occupies the context of a passage, any given passage occupies the context of a book, any given book occupies the context of the Bible (all 66 books). The passage you are talking about does not say that "All sinners are forgiven except for blaspheming against the Holy Spirit." Let's tend to that first. Read these verses again. He is affirming that of all sins there is but one that is unforgivable. Read these verses in the context of what is happening to Jesus (vv29-30). Mark even tells us why He said what He said (v30). They were blaspheming the Son, imputing evil to His behavior -- but that is a single example of blasphemy. You then assert that "Atheist in essence blaspheme by saying their is no God." (sic) Any denial of what God says is blasphemy. Again, that is just one of many kinds of blasphemy. Finally, you assert "It seems contradictory to the idea of Jesus dying on the cross for the forgiveness of ALL our sins." (sic) Doctrine is about all that the Bible says about any given subject. You are making the mistake of interpreting this passage as an implication of something called Universal Soteriology. That passage is often used by people to support that false doctrine. From many other passages we know that not all men will be saved; e.g., Matthew 7:13-14; 22:14; Luke 13:22-27; and those are just a few obvious ones! Thus, we bring to bear all that the Scripture says, not just pieces of it. If some men will certainly die in their sins, then obviously this passage cannot mean what you are implying. Our God is a rational God. He uses language. Indeed, He and His Word cannot be separated (Hebrews 1:1-2). Even the Greek word used for "word" is "logos" -- the roots of our English word "logic." So if you want to study the Bible, read all that it says on a given subject and read it in context. Beware of your presuppositions. Presuppositions are not bad things, but they, too, must be exposed to the light of the Word. I hope that this will have helped you. In Him, Doc |
