Subject: Unpardonable sin |
Bible Note: Hank: Thanks for the note, and I am glad you brought this to my attention. I Think perhaps I should explain further. I am coming from the understanding that a person can receive Jesus Christ even upon ones death bed. At least I hope so, as I have led a few to Christ within a few days and hours of their death. Up and until that point of receiving Jesus Christ they were unsaved with no doubt. If they would have died without receiving Jesus Christ then they would have been guilty of the unpardonable sin of deliberately rejecting the Holy Spirits pleading to receive Jesus Christ. That is why I said until a persons death, their sin is yet forgivable, upon death there is no hope, and their sin is unpardonable. Does this help clear up what I said? I hope so, but please let me know if you see it some other way. The Lord is so good to me, I can't count the many ways He shows me that He is in control every step and every second of the day. I have been especially blessed to be more aware of how sacred the time we have on this earth, and with our loved ones. No matter what medical procedure we endure, it is only tempoary in the spam of eternity. I praise God for the gift of life here, and the true GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE. I also am really blessed to live in Missouri. You may not know that the Garden of Eden was located in Independance, Missouri, at least accroding to the RLDS, and the LDS churches. What a thrill to know this. Blessings to you Hank. justme |
