Telling people that having blasphemed the Holy Spirit is unforgivABLE, is worse than telling someone they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, IMHO.

I did not claim to be giving an exhaustive list. Are you arguing that the conscience and the will are not included in either the body, soul or spirit? Are you arguing that a sinner's conscience is incapable of recognising what is the right thing to do or say, and the sinner's will is incapable...

I disagree that the context here indicates that "we" is "those who follow Christ". Heb. 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be...

No. You proved nothing by quoting the Bible. You built a case for your perspective and expressed your opinion on what you think certain scriptures mean. You refuse to listen open-mindedly to any alternative perspectives that threaten your own systematic. You refuse to acknowledge any possibility...

So, in other words, they were suffering from a first century version of Trump Derangement Syndrome: Jesus of Nazareth Derangement Syndrome. He threatened their hold on the levers of power they controlled, and they were fixated on eliminating/cancelling Him by whatever means necessary.: they...

Why should we believ you when you replace what Paul saya with what you cl;aim Paul means? Paul says is " There is no one who keeps on doing good, not even one" The Koine Greek present tense by default expresses a progressive action, not a simple present scientific fact, such as "Water boils at...

Why is the good shepherd described as19o99 seeking lost sheep, if they are not lost? Luke 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. Why does the prodigal father say his son was...

Because I find He works as promised, if we follow the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the Word. If it' not working, it's because we are following some man's misrepresentation or misinterpretation of the Word. Instead of blaming God, how about confessing our ignorance. God would still be true...

Really? What about 1 Tim.2:15 "But SHE shall be saved (sOthEsetai: singular) through childbearing, if THEY continue (meinOsin: plural) in faith, and charity and holiness with sobriety." What does saved mean there?

That should have said "my last FOUR questions. Who is the "we"? Impossible for whom? What would be the difference if it had said, "It is impossible for them to be renewed to repentance" (which it does not say), instead of, "It is impossible to renew them gain to repentance" (which it does say)...

PaulThomson said: The context of Heb. 6:4 - 6 nuances the meaning of 6:4 - 6. 6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and...

OK. So can you clearly define what you think you mean by saved and unsaved in your OP ?.

The context of Heb. 6:4 - 6 nuances the meaning of 6:4 - 6. 6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of...

The context of Luke 12 must be enough for a reader of Luke's gospel to infer the meaning of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. What might someone with only Luke"s gospel infer from the context Luke 12 that blaspheming the Foly Spirit is? 8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men...

Why do you think I was talking down? I was merely stating relevant facts. You've never heard "saved" used in any sense other than one certain theological sense? What is widely accepted is not always correct or universally accepted.

What were they doing according to Luke 12?

There is no "UNFORGIVABLE" sin mentioned in scripture. "UNFORGIVABLE" does not occur in scripture.

If any man sins, go and speak to him personally first. Nathan went to David and prophetically challenged his sin. Make an appointment with your representatives and point out their corruption to them, or encourage the good ones by thanking them for their justice and faithfulness and honesty.

Be trusting God and you will be being saved.

Does His glory not include His divine attributes? If I surrender my glory as a prince to visit my commoners appearing to be one of them, and I request the King to return me to my former glory, does the fact that I asked for my former glory mean that we can conclude that I did not give up any of...
