Unforgivable acts?

[Skaloop]

No, you can believe the word of God, if you chose to, but your to stubbron to believe. It isn't that you can't, it is just that you won't.

I can believe some of the words of the Bible. The whole treating others well, not killing, not stealing; that I understand and accept. It's not original to Christianity, though, but I can accept it. But many of the other words of God (I assume you mean the Bible) are demonstably wrong. There was no worldwide flood. The Universe was not created in 6 days 6000 years ago. Prayer has not been shown to be effective. God does not find all those who seek him. There's just too much wrong with the Bible for me to believe any of it. And honestly, I can't. I cannot bring myself to belief the outrageous claims. Some of the messages, sure, they're good. They're common sense. They're products of our evolution as a social species. But God does not exist. I am as sure of that (or more so) than you are sure that he does. There are so many things in the bible (the "word of god") that are wrong, that I cannot accept any of it. It truly is that I cannot believe.

You are too stubborn to believe in all the other gods proposed throughout human history; why is it so hard to understand why I don't believe in yours?

 

[Criada]

There is absolutely nothing that you can do to stop God from loving you!
So - His forgiveness is available for as long as you live!
And - if you don't like Christians 'trying to convert you' - why ask the questions??

As for trying atheism - been there, done that! And to be honest, was pretty happy with it! But God had other ideas - for which I am profoundly thankful!

God bless you.

There was a world-wide flood. You have to remember that in Noah's time, his world wasn't as large as it is today. Meaning as many places, people.
Before the flood came, the earth hasn't seen rain. Genesis 2:5. And every plant of the field before it was on the earth and every herb of the field before it grew for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground.

God created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. He is God. He could have created everything in a matter of minutes, but he chose to do it in 6 literal days.

Prayer works, but in alot of cases, a person needs to put legs on those prayers. For example, a person needs a job. He prays and tells God that he needs a job. God is more than willing to help this person get a job, if the person goes out and looks for a job. If this person stays home, may look at the help wanted ads, but if he/she doens't call about them or go and visit the job site or even apply for the job. He isn't doing all he can do. And therefore expecting God to do all the work.
Meaning, God helps those whom helps themselves.

There is still some things in the bible, that is hard to believe it happened. Like Enoch and Elijah, whom has never seen death. Alot of the stories in the bible are so amazing. but you need to remember that the bible is not for the carnal minds, it is spiritualy discerned. 1 Cor 2:14. Is saying that God's word is not for the natural man for it is foolish to God because they do not know him because they are not spiritualy discerned.

Alot of the messages in the bible are simple to understand. It does take common sense on some of the things.
God has nothing to do with evolution. Sciencetists has everything to do with evolution. They believe man came from monkeys.

There is only one true God. And that is the creator of all.
There are many gods. Whatever a person puts before God Almighty, becomes their god. Which are idols.
Pharaoh in the bible didn't worship the same God as Moses did. Pharaoh uses wizards, sorcerers as his god.
Hindism, Judism, Buddist and religions like that, serve and worship another god.

It takes faith to believe in God and his word.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
I believe that you don't believe in my God.

Please don't misrepresent our position, our lack of belief does not come from stubbornness...it comes from the knowledge of truth. If someone knows the truth, it by definition excludes every other possibility that contradicts it. I know these are strong words, and that you are probably rolling your eyes thinking "These nut jobs think they know what truth is?!", but I won't apologize for it or try to play it off to salvage your respect. I won't cheapen everything God has done for us by compromising the facts.

He is curious. No doubt in my mind this man, when as a child may have grew up in a home that didn't believe in God at all. Or maybe at one time they did believe in God but, situations came up in their lives, that changed their way of thinking about God.

If God and his word are not taught in the home, a child will grow up not knowing God at all.

I have looked at them.. they were not impressive... stubborn.. is not the right word, maybe, I put some high demands, and, nothing else really measured up.

Guess, if you hold to it that there can not be a God, well then, that is your choice. I can not fault you for that, but then again, if you equally believed that you could fly, I could not fault you for that either (Assuming you were not on an acid trip or something). If you go an jump off a bridge, because you believe you can fly, and plummet to your death, it was in the end, your choice. You shall reap the results of your choice.

God Bless

Saul executed early Christians and he became one of the most renound aposoltes (sp). I don't think there is anything you can do to stop the Lord from forgiving if you accept Christ.

 

[MelissaShae]

If I deny Jesus Christ right now, will I ever be able to get into heaven? If I deny him now but accept him later, is that good enough?

sorry to get back with you so late.

Well look at it this way, if you deny him today and today is the day that Jesus comes to get his followers then you are doomed or what if you die and never accept Christ, then you are not going to make it to heaven. We never know how much time we have left here on earth and we never know when Jesus is coming back like a thief in the night to take us home so each day that you don't accept him then you are taking a big risk.

 

[gcompass]

Is there anything I can do that would absolutely prevent me from entering Heaven, even if I became a believer? I've heard that blasphemy (real blasphemy denying God, not just using the Lord's name in vain) makes heaven impossible. Is that true? Is there anything else I can do right now that would forever and irrevocably put me off God's guest list?

Blasphemy does not keep you from Heaven. There is always a choice. Let's just say that you commit blasphemy. If you never apologize, you won't go to Heaven (unless you forget that you ever commited the act). If you do, you would be able to enter Heaven. It is really a matter of right and wrong.

The risk is minimal. I'm more worried about a leprechaun impaling me with a unicorn's horn he bought from the Loch Ness Monster.

well then if your not worried about it and don't accept Jesus Christ, then no you are not going to heaven. and just saying you accept him is not the same as accepting him into your heart, God knows the difference.

God Bless!

Dear Skaloop. One unforgible sin, to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, and keep denying Him as long as you live. It is straightforward, Skaloop, to return to God, our heavenly Father, who made us in His image, it stands to reason, that we love Him, as He loves us. The 1st Commandment love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our mind. The 2nd. love each other as we love ourselves. God knows all our thoughts, and our wishes, He sees our hearts, and He will not be mocked. Jesus died to reconcile us to God, then He will lead us back to Him, BUT we must Repent, exchange our selfish and wilful nature into a loving and caring one, become loving as God is loving. We have all our earthly life to learn to become as God wants us to, and Jesus will help and guide us all the way. Every time we fall short, or sin outright, we can ask God`s Forgiveness, and we will always be forgiven, if we mean it sincerely. Those who do not want to be forgiven, who do not want to return, will end up in outer Darkness, and do not need to fear that God will force them to return to Him. Always remember, Skaloop, God sees our hearts, He knows all things, He will know when we blaspheme, or do not want to be God`s Own. I say this humbly and kindly, and send greetings. Emmy, sister in Christ.

So as long as I keep denying, I'm safe. Good to know.

ps - please don't call yourself my sister. I don't even know you, and to give yourself such a label is, frankly, an insult to my real sibling.

All sins can be forgiven except blasphame against the Holy Spirit.

But keep in mind that God disciplines those he loves. Read Hebrews12.

 

[RMDY]

If your looking to [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] of God, read Jeremiah.

I urge you to not do that though.

Things that [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] off God:

- having sex in temples
- Worshipping idols of rock, stone, gold and the like.

There are other things, like being selfish, not helping people, being a lover of money, being out for only yourself.

Again, I suggest, read Jeremiah if you really want to learn something.

If Jesus is revealed to you and you reject him all your life, and the thief of death comes and snatches you away, you are self-condemnned.

Behold, Jesus is already knocking at your door and all who recieve him into them will recieve eternal life.

You may be wondering why declaring Jesus as your Lord and Saviour as the only way to heaven? You may be wondering to yourself about all these different "religions' that claim to be the only way to heaven.

But I assure you, christianity isn't really a religion at all, but some people make it out to be.

Christianity is a relationship with God through a person who Saves you and works his spirit within your life. That sums it all up and when your saved, you want to help others, not live for yourself, do good, and a lot of things that aren't selfish. Your not saved because of the deeds you do but because you belief and have faith someone died in your place so the evil things you do in life can be forgiven by a God you don't believe exists.

But what if were right? What if there is a God that you have already [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off in life and showed his love for you by sending his son to die in your place, so that you can be forgiven and not suffer death?

Wouldn't this be a wonderful thing?
Wouldn't you ever marvel at someone laying down their life for you?

It is very hard to put trust in something you personally don't see or hear. But there are many things in this world like this. Do not adams exist whether we see them or not?

God has offered a new covenant with us, and agreement, with Jesus as the bridge between man and God, with him as the mediator.

It is hard to fathom the mercy and love of God. We follow the law of liberty, using our freedom to not walk in the flesh, which is evil. We have faith in Jesus, who saves us, and as part of this faith, we want to do things because we want to do them, not because its a rule and God tells us to do it or not.

But ask yourself, what loving father doesn't discipline their sons and daughters?

I urge you to read Hebrews 12

From the way you're asking, it sounds like you intend to do it as soon as you know what it is. If you really don't believe in God, why are you putting so much mental effort into this?

The way you posed the question, the answer is NO.

I had sex in a church parking lot once. Does that count?

If Jesus is revealed to you and you reject him all your life, and the thief of death comes and snatches you away, you are self-condemnned.

But Jesus isn't revealed to me.

But what if were right? What if there is a God that you have already [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off in life and showed his love for you by sending his son to die in your place, so that you can be forgiven and not suffer death?

Sure I would marvel at it. But not so much if they showed up a few days later unscathed and then went to hang out with their dad, having not really died at all. And certainly not if that person was the one that needed himself to die in the first place, and could just as easily have saved me without dying a death that wasn't really a death.

It is very hard to put trust in something you personally don't see or hear. But there are many things in this world like this. Do not adams exist whether we see them or not?

Of course atoms exist. Even though I can't see them unaided, there is ample evidence of their existence. Same can't be said for God.

God has offered a new covenant with us, with Jesus as the bridge between man and God, with him as the mediator.
You are self-condemned if Jesus knocks at your door and you reject him.

Still waiting for that knock. There hasn't been one yet. Heck, I've even gone and opened to door to check, but nobody was there.

 

[Skaloop]

Well, the main reason is so that if a Christian comes up to me and says I should repent and accept Jesus so I can get into heaven, I can say "Too late, I'm already on the no-admittance list" and hopefully they'll just leave me alone.
