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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
