I agree with most of what you said but I don't think these verses are referencing salvation, but fellowship. I don't take these to mean being indwelt by the Spirit. That is something one has by virtue of being saved. The indwelling is permanent. These verses are talking about fellowship, which...

Jesus is drawing in 32 The Father is drawing in 44.

It doesn't work for a system that teaches sinless perfection in this life. You are correct in saying that it should not be possible to sin in Christ and we can't, that is what 1 John 3.6, 9 say about Positional Truth. Some external influence draws/drags us out of fellowship as we are lured away...

When we sin, we are no longer in fellowship. This principle is taught throughout the NT. For example, see the Lord's words in GJohn 15.4, 5, which reads: 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless...

You chose to state your position rather than defend it. Since you are not defending a position, I have nothing to respond to. But I did want to bring something to your attention. In GJohn 6.44, God draws people to Christ, but look at what John also says. "And I, when I am lifted up from the...

The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a specific sin, the Jewish sin of rejecting Jesus as Messiah and his attendant miracles that pointed to the Kingdom of God. We are rejecting the convicting ministry of the Spirit who is confirming that Jesus is the world's Savior. GJohn 16.8-11. There is no...

ALL Israel I think only refers to those Jews who are alive at the end of the Trib. I guess we are talking about the word ALL and what does that include. But I don't take it to mean all Israel from the time of Abraham to the second coming.

The Holy Spirit's job in this instance is to convince the Nation of Israel that their Messiah was performing prophesied miracles and its fulfillment awaited their acceptance of the Kingdom of God. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was specifically targeted on the Nation of Israel and the first...

I think "ALL" Israel is a reference to the nation of Israel at the end of the trib where they have cried out, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord... There is only a remnant left at the end of the Trib.. I think ALL refers to all Jews then alive at the time of the Second Coming. Any...

St. SteVen, I like this article showing the nature of the unpardonable sin. Notice at the bottom 3 resources who also address the position that the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit could only be fulfilled by first century Jews for rejecting their Messiah. This supports Fruchtenbaum's position and...

I wont forget, I promise.

I would research the definition on pro-ginosko, because God's Omniscience means he sees what is going to happen in the future. God's awareness of the future and man's choices are a necessary attribute of God. God's pre-planning is based on all data that God has, such as future events. God does...

I will have to find my notes of this, but let me say a few things now. The Gospel of Matthew's purpose was to demonstrate that Jesus was the Messiah and had the right to rule. Jesus only allowed the message to be presented to the Jews, not Gentiles. The Kingdom of God is never explained to the...

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can only be committed by the nation of Israel who rejected Christ and attributed his miracles to Satan, it is not committed by an individual. The Blasphemy is the sin of Israel's rejecting Christ as King of the Jews. The unpardonable sin can not be committed now...

How do you have an Amil millennium? Amil means no millennium.

The unpardonable sin is not an individual's sin, but a nation's sin, the Jewish nation. The sin is the rejection of Jesus as Messiah and attributing Jesus' miracles to Satan. The sin can no longer be committed now that Christ has ascended to heaven.

No! the Holy Spirit illuminates the scripture so that we can understand it. If anything, I would say the the Word (Jesus) is the Bible in a sense. Listen, this is not the kind of scholarly interaction I was hoping for on this site, I went ahead and Ignored you so there is no reason to send me...

One problem with what you wrote, is that the Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant. I noticed you didn't quote one verse in the OT. I will assume you don't read the OT. But all of the unconditional covenants are still awaiting fulfillment, which initially begins in the Millennium (an OT...

These words in your post were the same words spoken in Bible College by the people that were in my opinion lazy. They wanted God to act like a Genie and waited on God to give them supernatural insight into the Word. I am not saying you are lazy, but perhaps these words will remind you that the...

What are some of the blessings of these Covenants: The things promised by God are the following: 1. That Abraham’s name shall be great. 2. That a great nation (Israel) should come from him. 3. He should be a blessing so great that in him shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4. To him...
