Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin. By the context the Pharisees were warned against blaspheming the Holy Spirit while they attributed works of the Spirit, that Jesus performed, to Beelzebub. People can reject Christ for part of their life then be drawn to him later so...

There couldn't be a more cliche example of evil than robbing banks. Just because he was able to think of that doesn't mean it is his mindset.

The persons of the Trinity would hardly need to call eachother by name to distinguish between them.

Acts 4:12 I think God the Father wasn't ready to reveal his son to the world, nore did he want to introduce another name that would be used to the exclusion of Jesus. Or for that name to be listed among the false gods, like he is one of their number. If you think about it, why would God even...

This is assuming that time passes or is perceived in the same way in heaven. 10000 years may end up being like nothing at all. I don't think boredom will be a thing, it is an invention of God to prevent idleness and it will not be needed in heaven. God will continue to do creative works, he...

Can you expect a candidate who is good to receive the support of the american people? For example the country could have been better if we kept prohibition, but because people are evil we can't go without our booze. That is an extreme case just to make a point. The greed of the people will...

I have been wondering if America has passed the point of no return. Should someone restore sanity to the government how would the people react to those policies? Wouldn't there be rioting in the streets and our cities burn? A candidate I would support might end up doing more harm than good...

Is it really that strange to expect attacks from enemies of the cross? The enemy uses every weapon in their arsenal and the failure to protect free speech creates an opening for them to use.

According to this article the EU has asked major companies in social media to block "hate speech." http://www.pcworld.com/article/3076745/facebook-google-microsoft-and-twitter-crack-down-on-online-hate-speech-in-eu.html No doubt Christians will be caught up in this because many in the secular...

I pray the Lord's hand guides him through whatever trials he is suffering. Strengthen him to endure these trials and be better for it in the end. We know and trust the Lord will do this for those he has called to his purpose, so also give him decernment to see you with him in the furnace.

But it was God's will to punish Christ for our sins. Isaiah 53:10 "Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand."

Conservative does not mean Christian by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps most Christians are conservative, but this is a coincidence; the major parties are not Christian. Should Christians vote for the lesser evil? I say yes, a vote is not a sacred rite. It is an opertunity to be shrewd...

Hi welcome!

If they just want to make it illegal to practice abortion that would be enough. The goal is to stop abortion. Suppose a woman doesn't take care of themselves and they lose the baby, should that be punishable? Stopping abortion clinics is more clear cut, and easy to prove that the law has been...

You do have to test the spirits, to see if these dreams are from God. Study the scriptures so you are able to test the spirits better. God's Spirit will not disagree with scripture. Also pray for decernment. If these dreams are not from God at least show those spirits that their efforts to...

I was thinking about a system like this for my church because it consists of mostly older people who are not on the computer.

I think there is an angel tasked with taking peace from the earth. Angels are spiritual beings, and this one is sent to earth to put people in the spirit of making war. So he is both a person and a metaphor.

In your first and third baptism is the only difference the manifestation of the Holy Spirit?

Our association with the world should be measured. when Jesus visited the homes of sinners it wasn't to condone their sin.
