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.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
