• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Why then are the unbelievers at the great white throne judgment, not judged for this sin. They are sent to the lake of fire for only one reason their names not being in the book of life.
They are there because UNBELIEF left them unpardoned. Their names were never written in the Book of Life.

The reason their names are not in the Book of Life is because they rejected, denied & refused to accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior.

Unbelief is the cause; the absence of their name is the legal outcome.

At the Great White Throne (Rev 20:11–15), unbelievers are judged by their works because they refused the only payment that could remove their sins. Since they rejected Christ's atonement, they stand before God on the basis of the law & every jot & tittle condemns them.

Believers, by contrast, never appear at the Great White Throne. We stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10), where the issue is not sin. Jesus paid for ALL our sins. The topic here is rewards, faithfulness & what we built on the foundation of Christ (1 Cor 3:11–15).

They never believed in Jesus for Eternal Life. They are judged by their works, because when they never believe in Jesus for Eternal Life (God's free gift). Their eternal destiny was already set upon their death. Their judgment of their works determines their placement in the lake of fire, not to see if they are going to the lake of fire.
-----------------------------------
But as my original post and my reason for posting was that the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Was a very specific sin only found in Matthew 12. It is not a general sin that is just connected to unbelief, as you were saying in your original post. That is why no one can comment this sin today.

It was a very specific sin only found in Matthew 12. Connected to the nation of Israel and their leaders saying Jesus did his miracles by the power of Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Not by the power of God and The Holy Spirit. As Jesus healing of the Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

This was an Old Testament prophecy that only The Messiah would be able to heal blind and mute demon possessed people. That is why after Jesus healed the demon-possessed, blind and mute person. people asked. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

That's the point I'm making. Their works don't determine whether they go to the lake of fire, unbelief determined that. Their works determine the degree of judgment, not the destination. Unbelief is the cause. The absence of their name in the Book of Life is the legal outcome for unbelief. Their works determine the severity of judgment, not the location.

Revelation 20 is clear: They are judged ""according to their works"" after it is already shown their names are not in the Book of Life, due to unbelief in Christ as Lord & Savior. The Book of Life determines destiny. Their works determine degree.

This is the same pattern Jesus taught: The believer ""is not condemned"" (John 3:18). The unbeliever ""is condemned already"" because he has not believed. Works reveal the life lived, but they never reverse the verdict.

So yes - they never believed in Jesus for eternal life. That's why their names were never written in the Book of Life & that's why they stand at the Great White Throne instead of the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Believers appear before Christ for rewards (2 Cor 5:10; 1 Cor 3:11–15). Unbelievers appear before Christ for sentencing (Rev 20:11–15).

Two different groups. Two different judgments. Two different outcomes
