Bible Note: Jeff Not everything written or taught by sincere men of the past should be discarded. I just believe we need to chew on the meat and spit out the bones. We need to be Berean's and compare what men say with with what Scripture says. Scripture alone can be fully trusted. As far as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, or the unforgiveable sin, which ever you prefer to call it is concerned, my basic definition as I understand it would be: Continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s promptings to trust in Jesus Christ is the unpardonable blasphemy. May I ask you a question? Question - Do you believe the words of men layed down in past works, creeds and confessions are without error, and need to be accepted as such? Your's in Him NC |
