• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey,

I found a really good commentary on the verse that is fearful, and I think you should looke at it.

It's by R.A Cole,

Mark III. 28-30

This leads to one of the most solemn pronouncement and warnings in the whole of the New Testamment, coupled, as often, with one of the great promises. There is forgiveness with God for every sin and blasphemy except one, which seems to be the deadly sin of which John speaks so cautiously in 1 John V. 16. This is the sin of the willfully blind, who persistently refuse the illumination of the Spirit, oppose the Spirit's work, and justify themselves in doing so by deliberately misrepresenting Him. For such, as stated above, there can be no forgiveness, for they have refused the only way of forgiveness that God has provided . Yet, as always in the Bile we are not encouraged to survey with complacency the downfall of others, but rather to search our own hearts with fear lest we fall in like manner. (1 Corinthians X. 12)

1 Corinthians 10:12-14
12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Idol Feasts and the Lord's Supper

14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. (NIV)

This really helped me, and I think it came from our God ;)

Let us not refuse the only way to the Father, Jesus Christ. (John 14:6)Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (NIV)

This makes since because of John 6:37
37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

and 1 John 1:7
Passage 1 John 1:7:
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin.
