Subject: Understanding being saved. |
Bible Note: Lilies, If I can jump im here; I won't to offer some advise. A good approach to group bible study (and we can consider the forum to be just that) it's never a good idea to declare definitively something that you can not definitely support with scripture. Dealing with a single subject here, your definitive statement "The Holy Ghost is still on this hearth and is in us. Hence the unpardonnable sin against the Holy Ghost is still possible:" was not supported with Scripture. The Scripture that you offered does absolutely prove that the Holy Spirit is present in believers today. It does absolutely nothing to prove that the unpardonable sin is still possible today. Understand that I am not saying that it is not possible; I will be honest about it and say that I don't know one way or the other. My caution is against making statements that you can not support with Scripture. Those kinds of statements should be presented clearly as your opinion and not as though they are fact. With this approach other's will respect your opinion and then respectfully debate the subject benefiting everyone. As it is, you may present to others as one unwilling to be taught and unwilling to be corrected by Scripture. Sincerely, Jeff |
