Bible Question: tremere123: From your post #67713: "...there is only one sin that cannot be forgiven and that is to deny or 'blasphemy' God once you make the commitment to be 'reborn'." .... Jesus makes it clear what the unforgivable sin is. Do you know what it is and can you cite the scriptural reference for it? And where do you find scriptural support your phrase "once you make the commitment to be reborn?" How does one make a commitment to be reborn? Does he "reborn" himself? --Hank |
Bible Answer: In Heb. chapter 6:1-6 Talks about leaving the principles of the our doctrine which ultimately came from Jesus. Then it goes on to tell what our principle doctrine is. "Not laying againt he foundation repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of the doctrine of babtisms (Jn3:3-5 we see is babtism of water and babtism of spirit) etc... then, after explaining the foundation and basic beliefs of our salvation, it goes on to say It is impossible for those who were ONCE ENLIGHTENED and have experienced all these things, to renew them AGAIN unto repentance seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put him to an open shame. They knew and then turned their back on the truth of God blaspheming the Holy Ghost. In Ro. chapter one it talks about the sinners who knew God or at least knew what was required of themselves (vs 32) but went ahead and sinned because they loved sin. Verse 28 states God finally just turned them over to a reprobate mind. In 2 Thes. 2:10-12 it says God sent the people a delusion that they should believe a lie becuase they had pleasure in unrighteousness and didn't receive a love for the truth. Then in verse 15 he warns the church to hold fast to their traditions. If we commit the only unforgivable sin which I believe is to be turning our back on God and leaving the principles of the Doctrine Jesus taught, having pleasure in sin, we become like the man who began to work in the feild and turned to look back. It's a scary thought but Jesus said he was unfit for the kingdom of God. I believe it is more than a mere sin but a actual turning from the foundations and basics of Truth. I believe if a person goes this far and loves sin so much they leave the principles of the doctrine of Christ it is impossible as they have become blinded and there would be only one way for them to come back. God would have to open their eyes to the truth and draw them back to himself as no man come to God unless God draws him. Thus this person is Lost as God does turn people over to themsleves. Anyhow you can interpret it any way you want but I feel it is farther then just blatent sin becuase many of us have played the role of the prodigal son and God has brought back. I believe blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is an actual rejection of the truth which you once experienced and knew for yourself. God bless |
