    What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

    Jesus mentions this as the only unforgiveable sin. That really packs a punch, a sin that can't be forgiven! How do we know what blaspheming against the holy spirit is and therefore how do we avoid it at all costs?? Please can someone shed light on this! Is there any scripture that...

    How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit?

    Op here Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that the holy spirit would be quite evident in us. I can see definite changes in myself so i would certainly hope that it is spirit caused. I dont speak in tongues or anything or have visions etc... The outward signs of the spirit...

    How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit?

    The basic message is that if we are led by the Holy Spirit then we are the children of God. This is then obviously an essential thing to consider regarding our salvation from God. How then do we identify within ourselves if we have been blessed with the Holy Spirit?

    Experiences with God

    I do believe that God speaks to people. I remember one occasion when a guy claimed to have heard jesus speak to him. In this case the man said jesus had told him that the lord regarded him in higher esteem than himself. If that doesn't make sense: Jesus values us more than himself. This...

    For the Love of God (Loki IV)

    In my opinion it is impossible to love God on our own. I can't love something I can't see without any help. I have spent most of my years as a believer afraid of God. But I believe that those of us who ask will be given a love and a joy through the holy spirit that enables us to love God. I very...

    What's with the Crucifix as a symbol?

    The cross has been corrupted by society. Gangsters, pop stars, rappers, and loads of other people wear the cross without being christians and without believing in the christ. The cross is now used as a symbol of evil instead of good. Jesus used the cross to show us how much he loved us, and...

    What's with the Crucifix as a symbol?

    I personally think there is a lot more to the cross than people realise. The cross does not symbolise Christ's weakest moment, but his most powerfull. Jesus is a god of love and at that moment when the nails were being driven into his skin he still felt nothing but love for his executioner's...

    Experiences with God

    Has anyone had experiences where God has spoken to them. A number of people have claimed to be meditating or praying or even driving where they have actually had a conversation with Jesus. These are not just claims and have actually changed people lives. Is this just a case of Jesus choosing...

    My two favorite arguments for creation

    Why don't we all just agree to disagree.. No-one can be proved right or wrong, the attitude should be tolerance of other beliefs. Any arguments that take place should be in good spirit with no intent to disprove but to discuss. This is a christian site so it is innapropriate for this sort...

    What happens when God doesnt heal you?

    And think about this, I know that If I was to be healed, both God and I would be taking a huge risk that I might stray into sin again and reject God AGAIN!!. He know's how easily influenced I am so by healing me, he would be taking a risk that I might chose to reject him. Maybe thats why he...

    What happens when God doesnt heal you?

    Thanks pal, I know God wants me well, but remember the even Christ had to go through intense suffering to be made perfect. I will never be anywhere near perfect but I have become a better person, and a christian for that matter because of suffering. Jesus is drawn to those who are suffering and...
