Why so concerned??

I think it is because people are legalistic and dont know it. I think people forget they cannot cause God to love them any more or any less, so they look for ways to please God as if they were saved by what they do or dont do and forget it is by faith.

Well, the Bible only gives on unpardonable sin and that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:31-32). But, even with that, it doesn't mean that the blood of Jesus is not powerful enough to cover it or that God's grace is not powerful enough to forgive it... What it means is that our sovereign God made a sovereign choice and we have to live with that.

Other than that, if you confess your sins, God is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Hallelujah!!!!

I love you and God bless.

Thank you for this post sbbqb7n16

MellyMell, Im glad you brought this verse up...Could you please help me with this or anyone else. What does it mean blasphemizing against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable. Is that becuz the Holy Spirit dwells in us to when you blasphemy him who do to your body, God and all the Universe? Im kind of confused.

God bless

Sure... Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is basically ascribing the work of the Holy Spirit to something/someone else. It's taking God's due praise and glory away.

As for why it's unpardonable, people can try to answer that with their opinions and stuff, but I don't like giving my opinion as though it were a fact. The Bible doesn't clearly tell why it's unpardonable, it just says that it is.

Now, it's my opinion that it's unpardonable because the Holy Spirit is the One who actually PERFORMS the wonderful works of the Godhead. God says it, the Lord Jesus empowers it, and the Holy Spirit does it. So, when we balspheme the Holy Spirit, it's like slapping God in the face and saying that our own idea or opinion is more important than His power. It's like we think more highly of our opinion than of the work of the Lord.

Hope that helps.
I love you and God bless.

Hello all! Love ya all!

If one denounces God's Word and Christ's sacrafice, this leads me to believe that they were never truly saved by God.
