why would anyone reject the gift of the Holy Ghost ?

Question

When it provides a better life. A promise of many tomorrows
spiritually linking us to heaven. Obedience in faith to the Gospel
of Repentance and water baptism in Jesus christ, all it takes
to receive the Eternal gift.

Answer 1

unless the person knows jesus christ as their lord , they wont understand the meaning of the gift of the holy spirit. its the same with water baptisim. frist u recieve jesus into your heart, then the water babtism , then the infilling of the holy spirit.. its Gods will that all come to him but he gave us all a choise..

Answer 2

firstly we could desire to comprehend what blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is: "...conversing blasphemy against” the Holy Spirit is like while somebody one knowingly and intentionally as a legal witness attributes the works, operations and/or presents of the Holy Spirit to the devil or attributes the works, operations of the devil to the Holy Spirit. The Pharisees did this while Jesus replaced into casting out demons by potential of the potential of the Holy Spirit. They proclaimed: “He solid out demon spirits by potential of the potential of Beelzebub!” Jesus stopped their mouths ultimate then and there and straightened them out. Now Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit isn't somebody it is in basic terms parroting somebody else or conversing out of lack of expertise. Paul in 1Tim a million:12-13 reported that He had even blasphemed the Holy Spirit, yet that he had achieved this out of lack of expertise." So it kind of feels to me, that the only way this could be achieved is by potential of a believer. because of the fact athiests don't have faith (or a minimum of profess they do no longer - ony God knows for effective) they could't try this.

Answer 3

For the same reason I rejected the gift of (from) Santa Claus. I realized that like Santa the Holy Spirit does not exist and therefor can do nothing for me.

Answer 4

Because they already got the gift of Casper the Ghost

Answer 5

See that isn't a gift. What you have just laid out is a form of bartered trade. A gift does not require my blind obedience nor does it expect me to practice ritual drowning. Open a dictionary before you post next time.

Answer 6

The holy ghost was in reference to the Angel Gabriel to bring glad tidings of a messenger to come. To complete what Jesus started. The "holy ghost" never really brought forth anything new, or old for that matter, but only brought forth new ideas and concepts to the already eccentric doctrine from people who thought. Jesus made references to many false prophets to come, but made one distinction to the one who shall be the truth. That he shall testify Jesus to be a messenger from God. Ask yourself this, who is the only man to come after Jesus, to claim to be a Prophet AND tesify that Jesus, son of Mary, was one of the mightiest messengers of God?

Answer 7

Why would anyone reject the holy gift of life, of Isis? She offers enlightenment! How can anyone reject Thoth, who weighs our soul, Osiris who accepts the dead?
That goes both ways. you believe what you believe and I'll believe what I believe and we're all good.

Answer 8

That is your belief. And that is fine, I wish you happiness in it...but it isn't my belief. It isn't the belief of a lot of people. When we have a reason to believe that the Holy Ghost is anything other than a myth, then we'll believe.

Answer 9

Yup, cult life and fantasy land sure sounds like a blast.

Answer 10

I already received the gift of tranquility and peace.

I am happy with what I've found out, and my newfound way of life.

It doesn't involve, God or Christ, do you want to hear about it?
