Question #4 of questions asked to Christians:

My reference is the Bible Answer Book

The Unpardonable Sin

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12: 31-32

It is crucial to recognize that the unforgivable sin is not a single act but continuous, ongoing rejection.

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation 2 Corinthians 7:10

The Bible consistently teaches that those who spend eternity seperated from God do so becuse they willingly, knowingly, and continuously reject the gospel. John refers to this as the "sin leading to death". 1 John 5:16 in the sense that those who refuse forgiveness through Christ will spend eternity seperated from his grace and love.

I am lightskinned, and I have met some guys that have told me that they would never talk to me becuase I was lightskinned and that meant that I was stuck up! I've even had females say that they felt that we were stuck up too!

I feel that people categorize us and the stereotype is so untrue!!!

I want to see if anyone can figure this out: In the bible it states that Adam & Eve were the 1st & only people on the earth, then they had two sons Cane & Abel. Cane kills abel, then later on it says "And Cane knew his wife & they bare two sons" OK STOP, how in the world if there was only 3 people on earth Adam, Eve & Cane... how did Cane all the sudden get a wife & have kids?

It seems to me that a humble person would think that they weren't and say no.

Or put in another way, can a person truly know if he/she is humble?

"Unequally yoked" would be a marriage where the two participants don't have the same religious beliefs. The Bible specifically says not to do it in the New Testament.

Actually, I think that this is one of the few real take-home messages to be found in the Bible: It's not a good idea to marry someone too many standard deviations outside of your religious beliefs and/or religious zeal.

Are you worried that it's Friday 13th in.....4 days?

Because I'm not!!!!!!!

I was talking to a girl at work and she said that she wouldn't travel on Friday 13th because it's unlucky.

And in my last job, when someone discovered that my last day was Friday 13th April they asked me was I worried by that.

NO BIG DEAL. I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.

For example, with all of the Christians out there, why aren't people there for each other? Why do people continue to judge and not love instead? Why do people hate and not try to understand and love their neighbor? Christianity is merely an example because I am most familiar with it, but it follows for all religions. The answer is for yourself. Don't answer me, answer yourself and others.

You are beautiful within,
you are beautiful without,
there's no reason for your mind
to be consumed with senseless doubt
There are times we will remember,
there are nights we won't forget.
If we'll value every moment,
we will never feel regret.

In everything you do,
Your love shines through.
Love...
Love...
Love...
Shines through!

you have wisdom of exception
You are gentle like a child.
You will always be protected.
You will never lose your smile.
There are friends who will remain,
within our thoughts throughout our lives
There are ties that can't be broken,
there are songs that cannot die.

In everything you do,
Your love shines through.
Love...
Shines Through!

I've been reading the progress reports from the evil atheist/evolutionist/satanic conspiracy and I'm afraid to say that we've been doing a terrible job.

Many people still believe in creation despite our massive brainwashing efforts and all those fake dinosaur fossils.

More shockingly, we have yet to turn a single straight person gay! What's the deal here people?

It was supposed to be simple, we teach the kids that they come from monkeys and they were supposed to abandon morality and turn homo! What happened?

but God told them that THE Massiach would be announced by a specific person, and would be and do specific things while on earth that Jesus just did not fulfill. Last I checked, the third Temple has not been built, there are still several religions on earth, and Jews are still scattered throughout the world. There has been no Jewish King that ushered in a period of world peace. Over 1,000 years before the attributed birth of the historical Jesus, it was recorded in the Tanach:

Numbers 23:19: God is not a man, that He should be deceitful, nor the son of man, that He should repent. Would He say and not do, or speak and not confirm?

Psalms 146:3: Do not rely on princes nor in the son of man, for he holds no salvation.

If you knew this, would you believe some guy who didn't fulfill the scriptural prophecies or the people who claim, contrary to the evidence, that he did? In other words, how can you claim that they are the ones who are wrong, and not YOU?

Question #3 of questions asked to Christians:

My reference is the Bible Answer Book

Bible says: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 So what is this verse really saying?

Sin is not just murder, rape, or robbery. Sin is failing to do things we should doing those things that we should not. in short, sin is a word that describes anything that fails to meet God's standard pf perfection. Thus, sin is the barrier between you and a satisfying relationship with God. just as light and dark cannot exist together, neither can God and sin.

Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3: 4-6
