The Unforgiveable Sin

The Unforgiveable Sin

God has a plan for us. When everything is done, anyone would feel some sort of satisfaction or when something is between it will be a big loss. There is a lot to be said about sin. When there is sin, there seems to be an uncontrollable action. However, when life is new, there is a rescuing of the mind and others salvage what is almost complete. Although there is no way around sinning, making mistakes can be a learning experience. So, it comes down to God and how He interprets sin. Is sinning unforgivable? And could this mean the end of a dream of the afterlife and deliverance to heaven? Will sinners go straight to hell? Or purgatory for life? Unforgivable sin is described in Mark 3 and Matthew 12. These passages involve Jesus Christ’s repeated and widespread public defeat of Satan and his demons. Many readers and theologians have been confused about the true nature of this sin.The only being in the universe that is more powerful than the Evil One, is God. He is the only one with enough power to bind Satan himself and forcibly dispossess him. While researching I found this bible passage:

“Anyone who rejects the Holy Spirit’s convicting influence and does not repent will not be forgiven, ‘neither in this world, neither in the world to come’ (Matthew 12:32)” [Ray Comfort, “The Unpardonable Sin,” The Evidence Bible (Gainesville, Florida: Bridge-Logo Publishers, 2001).

And this one:

Jesus thus regards blasphemy against the Spirit—permanently rejecting his identity (Matthew 12:18) as attested by the Spirit’s works (12:28)—as the worst of sins” [Craig S. Keener, The IVP Bible Background Commentary, New Testament (Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 1993), p. 80.].

You would think that having an unforgivable sin could not save you. However, in the Bible, there are those that have sinned and disbelieved and they have been saved. If you look closely, you will understand the absolute. Either you are a sinner or not. Though It is God’s decision in making us feel whole, it can either be a short light or a long one. It would be helpful to read what Apostle John stated in the Bible’s passage:

"If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He is the propitiation (satisfaction) for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 John 2:1-2).

It will be a day to rejoice when we are with God but it is our relationship with God that needs to be shared. What we take with us after we die will serve as an example of spirit and love. It will be with us when we enter the pearly gates. While searching for ourselves, it is wonderful to believe that unforgivable sin will be forgiven and will save us but it will speak to the specifics of our lives. It takes a lot to understand the forgiveness of unforgivable sin.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
