The proof is in the pudding so to speak, since man was created by God in His image, there is within every person the knowledge of God.Standard equipment.In order to become an atheist you first have to lie yourself past your inner knowledge of God.You have to ignore your life, your
spirit, your environment and the whole of creation.That takes a lot of lying to oneself, and you have to buy into a lot more lies to get there.This is not made up, it is a part of the process that ultimately allows the created to deny the creator, God.Deep down every atheist
knows they are a liar, but as with any repeated
sin the suppressed truth gets farther away, and harder to recognize.God bless
I was taught that there were only 2
sins the
Spirit could not forgive despair and presumption: presuming to
know the mind of God and presuming to judge for him surely is a

Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking of losing the ability to be an overcomer in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to live a christian life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to
sin and sinful desires.So in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer in the first place.So i can see how a christian could lose there salvation having once walked by faith but that does nt effect there eternal life in Christ.Just so others
know i am now walking by faith and am an overcomer i
know what it is like to experience the power of the holy
spirit and to not be overcome by my old nature that is what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal life.brentnz
If we call ourselves Christians, but have become so enmeshed in
sin again so that we
no longer hear or care about the Holy
Spirit's conviction, then there is a strong possibility that we have offended him to the point that he abandons us to our folly and we are
no longer sealed unto salvation by his presence.
I believe in The Grace of God and
know that it has covered me whenever I have fallen and
sinned as a Christian in word, thought or deed but I also
know that when I have
sinned and grieved The Holy

sin!

Personally i think those specific prayers are a distraction most of the times we pray these prayers because its what we think we need and often thats not the case.The better way is to just trust the holy
spirit let him lead i think we miss the awesomeness of doing it Gods way its easy not difficult.The struggle is difficult when we are walking by the flesh and trying to do it our way.When i got to the point where i said to the God i am not going to do it my way anymore and i submit to you because

I am so sorry I can not believe,» and then appeals to us for pity because he can not believe, but when the Holy
Spirit touches a man's heart, he
no longer looks upon unbelief as a mark of intellectual superiority; he does not look upon it as a mere misfortune; he sees it as the most daring, decisive and damning of all
sins and is overwhelmed with a sense of his awful guilt in that he had not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Ok but can god take away a person from hell and put him in heaven and if god loves us so much then why he doesn't destroy satun or put him in prison forever and why doesn't he tells the holy
spirit to forgive whatever any person says just like him and Jesus i want to
know thst but i noticed in all your replies except one that you were telling me everything i was asking except this in short if i say «he allows us to hate him» and i also want to
know that if a person is sent in hell for his
sins then will he go back to heaven after completing his punishment or stay there forever and also will any person who have commited the unforgivable
sin one day be freed and allowed to go to heven or be reborn on Earth and if god has infinite love for us why don't he force us to belive in Jesus just before dying and then as he goes to heven show Jesus to him and then give him a rebirth as soon as his turn comes and then countinue this becaude going to heaven would be better much more than going to hell especialy for those who have commited the unforgivable
sin
The significance of the sacrifices was to see our sinfulness and turn our hearts back to God and that is made clear with the death of Christ.The animals though could not remove our
sin that was only possible through Christ as God he could remove
sin in the past present and future as he is outside of time and space not like us.So there
sins in effect were covered by Jesus as well in the old testament as in the new by Gods we just did nt see it.The example of abraham able enoch they all were righteous they were justified before God.Enoch walked with God and was
no more that sounds like the rapture to me so the holy
spirit was present in that age just like us.We see that God has always been at work to bring life and to bring mankind to salvation.
Adnama Satan uses external circumstances to direct our steps he
knows that if we walk according to the flesh we come under his authority for the flesh is weak and he manipulates by keeping christians in bondage to
sin through lust or whatever
sin the christian is weak in.He can also fire into our minds evil thoughts to make us feel condemned or guilty these are fiery darts they are not ours and we need to stand on the word to rebuke them by faith.If we have given our lives to Christ then we belong to Christ so if we walk in accordance to the
spirit the enemy has not power to effect us either internally or externally that is not to say that he can not manipulate situations and circumstances to his advantage that is why we need to be alert and pray against the work that he does we are in a spiritual battle but we have overcome in Christ so fear not brentnz

I think the Hebrews portion discussed here may be dealing with the fact that the jewish Christians would be commiting willful
sin in knowingly returning to things they
knew could n`t save them and that constituted casting aside the work of the Holy

No doubt God can heal, but
sin can be such a

An example is one day i came across a video named «how to be stupid» and I immediately say in the front of my head «be the holy

Tommy God has already forgiven you for your
sin the moment you asked Jesus into your life and confessed him as Lord.From that point he paid for your
sin in full past present future.It is not
sin that stops us from being with the Lord so you are saved.The problem you are experiencing is the battle for your life in the here and now satan is out to destroy you and he
knows our weaknesses.If you are honest there were already issues in your life that you struggled with and never got the victory over.So where do you go from here as i found myself in the same situation i was a christian but walking according to the flesh.God does nt change his mind he always loves us but because of our choices we distance ourselves from God.The issue is that we like
sin thats our wicked hearts and to be fair we cant change our nature only Christ can do that our old nature must be crucified with Christ.The stumbling block is our pride we have to admit that we cant do it For me that was terribly difficult i was so independent thinking i could do anything but the truth was a made a real mess of things.I sense you are at a crossroads and are feeling desperate and confused.So as a brother in the Lord you need to confess your
sin to God and tell him that you are weak -LCB- we all are -RCB- and that you cant do it in your strength -LCB- None of us can -RCB- but ask him to send the holy
spirit to help you deal with the temptations and the
sin that you struggle with and he will help you to change your life he will empower you as he did me.Rather than look at who you are look to Christ and walk in him and he will make you a new man and
sin will not have dominion over you.Jesus came to set us free from bondage.Having once been a slave to
sin i
know what it is like to have been set free by the power of God and that is what Christ is offering you today.All it takes is a desire to change or repent and admit we cant do it and trust him to give you the strength to walk in him regards brentnz

Rick i struggled for over 20 years as a christian in the end i said whats the point of struggling i feel powerless and useless so i gave in to
sin that did nt work either but i was so sick of struggling and seeing the same results i became more miserable and even more powerless in my struggle with
sin.I decided one day
no more enough was enough i needed to get my life back in order.That was years ago and it was a process over 5 years that God dealt with all those things in my life that needed fixing most days i just said to him Lord i cant do this i just do nt have the strength and he said thats okay you cant do it anyway just trust me.So now now i l
know what it means to be an overcomer in Christ
sin does not have the victory over me anymore because Jesus is my strength in my weakness.I
know i cant live a christian life in my strength but i certainly can with Christ in me he is my strength and in him i am an overcomer.If this is speaking to others just want to let you
know that you to can be an overcomer you do nt have to struggle or battle with your walk or feel miserable because you give in to
sin there is a better way.Just admit that you cant do it and ask for his help for the holy
spirit is in you and he is the one who helps us in our weakness.regards brentnz
Dear Jeremy I want to
know that we all
know that god is very loving and forgiving he will forgive every
sin except one and that is blasphemy against the holy
spirit and god can even forgive murder then why not such a
sin that can be forgiven with in half an hour by an average human then why the punishment is really much worse eternal damnation?
In contrast to idealism, which
knows only continuity in man's life in the
Spirit, Bonhoeffer recognizes
sin as a reality in history.
Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the
sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you
know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i
know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy
spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the
spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
Yet although Christians gain the illuminating and empowering influence of the Holy
Spirit when we first believe in Jesus for eternal life, we all
know that the struggle with
sin did not cease.
You
know, High Priestly stuff like sprinkling blood on the altar in heaven, defeating
sin, death, and the devil, preaching to
spirits in prison, that sort of thing (Hebrews 9; 1 Pet 3:19).
Upon doing this, God shows his pleasure, and heaven shows it's honor, and the Holy
Spirit demonstrates the triune Godhead, for all to
know that this High Priest is the one who came to to forgive all
sin.

no one
knew him and she was praying in the
spirit when she called out the
sin he was doing the night before!
Jeremy have been asking the holy
spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that
sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he
sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the
sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and
sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus
no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and
sin no more.We get confused because we see the word
sin but the giver of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love for
sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz
Had another thought on this Go and
sin no more in the first instance when the pharisees were condemning the woman Jesus says you without
sin cast the first stone thats present tense when he said Go and
sin no more that future tense he is letting us
know that since we all are sinners deserving of death he does not condemn us but came to save us and we see him do that for the woman caught in
sin as we all are.Humanly speaking none of us can walk without
sinning it is impossible unless we submit ourselves to Christ and walk by faith by the holy
spirit and we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us.brentnz
We
know that we are only formally obliged to confess mortal
sins, but venial
sin also weakens the soul, and without regular confession our
spirits can grow dull and our consciences corrode little by little, opening the way to graver lapses should temptation come.
it is awful because i have no lasting peace in this... beyond healing and then the conviction of
sins and a few visions and what what i thought was jesus telling i was forgiven but to have faith in him, [my dad even called me up when this first happened and told me that the
spirit had come to him in great power and told him to let me
know i was forgiven and saved by his grace - he did not
know i was going through this at the time and felt an urgent need to call me with this message] so why can i not get inner confirmation in this and why am i still so afraid....
The very office of minister, which far too often is understood to symbolize only judgment upon
sin, should be
known as one expression in the Church of the forgiving
spirit.
We
know that Man is a perfect meshing together of
spirit and matter so it is inevitable that
sin will affect our bodies, too.
Finally found some people that going through the same thing as me Im 16 when i got saved i wanted to
know alot about the Bible and God then there was one day in my bedroom where i was watching someone talking about blasphemy of the holy
spirit and i kindda got curious and said something that i did nt mean and after that i felt a barrage of thoughts saying blasphemous things about god i wanted it to stop but it wouldnt it would allways happen randomly and finally figured that cussing god wasnt the unforgivable
sin i finnaly calmed down and accepted that God still loves me but the thoughts still wont stop
I am afraid now that I havee actually committed the unpardonable
sin althought I
know that the Holy
Spirit is alive and well and I believe in Him.
Jefferson in his many words is todays paul by basically testifying to a lost society by preaching «The heart «that is what God wants not the shell which will rott away.I can stand with this truth until the day I die because I also have had disagreements in my church about this same topic.I dispise religion and encourage salvation which come from having a relationship with Jesus.Many may ask how do i have a relationship with him?by simply asking God through prayer, not what we
know as pray but simply given up and telling God he win.That is what being righteous means saying «lord your're right and i will believe and obey that.Last i will like to thank jefferson for this clip, becuase for so long I have been feeling like todays churches in not like the first churches.They are stuck into their four cornered walls preaching to those who already obtain the word and people who already think they are perfect, but what about the weak and the sinners who we are suppose to love, go after, preach to, help and deliver the same way as Christ camed for the sinners so do we also be like him.Jefferson basically telling all us young people and old
no matter who have suffered in the world, the church, or
no matter what party or the past that there is hope and «God wants that person» not the
sin but the person.Jefferson wants us to
know that God can become personal with us and we do exist or can exist in the christian world not because we are perfect but because «he is perfect and he saw our broken
spirits and rescued us!
Hello nick i to, have these horrible blaspheming thoughts about God and the Holy
spirit, its like they come when they want to torment me, i think the devil is trying to accuse you and me and so many of us, when we aren't lusting and living a life of
sin he attacks us spiritually because he hates that we are on the right path toward God.my advice brother is pray as much as possible and always ask for forgivness, pray so you are accounted worthy, if you have any addictions of some sort pray to God so he can help overcome these things whatever they are, PRAISE JESUS.good luck my brother.remember GOD is always with you
no matter what.
I think I have did the unforgivable
sin but I'm not sure if I have I have called god the holy
spirit jesus Christ them all bad words I have said there not the greatest I have said fuck them I have said the holy is unclean but again I don't mean it I get thoughts then I say them or if I read something like the saying holy
spirit is unclean that is the unforgivable
sin I get thoughts like that in my head I don't like they thoughts then i say it I don't mean it I get thoughts so I just say it I think i might have did the unforgivable
sin but I don't
know I don't mean to say but have i did the unforgivable
sin please help me thanks god bless x
I pretty much agreed with most of what you have said and i think that the sinners prayer has been misused as a get out of Jail free card.A couple of things that people miss is that God is in charge.As soon as you offer yourself to God and accept Jesus Chris the holy
spirit has liberty to work on you.Because he loves us he will discipline us so that we do repent of our sins.The downside of living a walk like that you are a hypocrite until you admit your sinfulness the holy
spirit can not help us because of our pride.The second part was you talking about disciplining the flesh personally you cant discipline that which is corrupt our hearts are deceitfully wicked we need new hearts
no amount of effort on our part will transform our hearts that is the work of the holy
spirit he changes our hearts so that we
no longer desire to
sin we would rather serve the Lord with all our hearts instead.brentnz
No, what seems most likely in light of other uses of anathema in the Bible (See my Gospel Dictionary Course for explanation of these texts) is that certain Corinthian teachers were saying (while supposedly under the influence of the Holy
Spirit) that the reason Jesus died is because He was suffering the consequences for
sin, or for living in a sinful, human body.
No where does the scripture say this is ok, but rather we find passages that make it clear that envy is a terrible
sin, and the poor should be happy with being rich in
spirit.
I think the results of it can be seen even if we don't
know what it is: The Holy
Spirit stops working in a person's life to convict them of
sin, righteousness, and judgment.
Gil if we only received one blessing in this life and that was eternal life in Jesus Christ that alone would be enough but we are blessed way more than that because we have been sent his holy
spirit to help us overcome our old nature.He never leaves us nor forsakes us whether good or bad happens he strengthens us in our weakness.It says in the bible that the rain falls on both the righteous or the wicked God is fair to all whether they deserve it or not he can not be anything else than a holy righteous loving and fair God.I do nt need to convince you to believe about God he will reveal himself to you if you are seeking the truth as he is the truth.I do nt try and make others believe its pointless.I
know without a doubt that i am saved and my
sins are forgiven.As a christian it will a joy to be with the Lord there is no fear in death for those that love him.In the meantime i serve him with all my heart until he calls me home.I love talking about the Lord but each of us must walk according to what we believe.I trust my life to Jesus Christ and i choose to follow him who do you follow?
Ross the bible is quite clear that it is not by works that we are saved but by the finished work of Christ.We are saved the moment we accept Christ.Can you say that you stopped
sinning the moment you accepted Christ i certainly did nt it was ingrained in my old nature.When we have the holy
spirit he helps us to be transformed into Christ likeness that process is sanctification.You are right there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.The bible says that Jesus and the father are in heaven and the holy
spirit is with believers though they are one they are also separate individuals.As far as
sin is concerned we can not in our own strength live a christian life it is impossible only though trusting the holy
spirit by accepting Jesus can we live a life as overcomers.If we choose to accept
sin in our lives after becoming christians then we can not become overcomers i think people accept Christ for the benefits and then live there lives for themselves i used to.I do nt
know about but how is it going are you overcoming
sin in your life or i
know i am able because the holy
spirit helps me.I do nt have to try anymore i just have to believe that through Christ the holy
spirit empowers me to do that which i cant.I appreciate your comments.regards brentnz
Paul argues that we do not have a licence to
sin.because of grace If christians continue to
sin and grieve the holy
spirit they clearly arent walking by faith or abiding in Christ.There has to be an ongoing repentence in the christians walk that leads that person to become more like Christ.It is true that salvation is a gift of grace received by faith however the word also says that we called to walk by faith otherwise it is impossible to please God and if we love him we follow his commands not willfully disobey.If we do nt continue to abide in Christ and turn from
sin then i think we can risk Christ saying to us that he never
knew us.Like everything that God offers us we must meet his conditions that are only possible in Christ..
The holy
spirit is real to me he speaks to me he leads me he gives me wisdom he comforts me and he empowers me to do the work i am called to do.the evidence that you are walking by and with the holy
spirit is that you are walking
no longer walking according to the flesh but by the
spirit of God.One of the things i used to struggle with was
sin but
no more it is the holy
spirit that empowers me to live a holy life and when tempted i admit that my flesh is weak but that in Christ i am an overcomer and in the holy
spirits power he strengthens me to be like Christ.To God be the glory great things he has done.brentnz
