Well, there you have it. Quite enlightening isn't it!+
It is written that all the sins that mankind commits are forgivable because of Jesus shed blood, death, and resurrection. So why be concerned about it. Well, it would seem most of us would like to be a little more successful in getting some of these sins under control in our lives. What do you think? Especially in the Blah, Blah, Blah areas. They are fussy little sins that seem to disguise themselves sometimes, well probably most of the time.
+
One of the concerns with this is that you don't really even have to intentionally do them to be guilty of having them in your life. They are subtle and sneaky, Just like the one who subtly offers them.
+
Jesus gave an example of this in the X-Ray Ted area.
Jesus said, if you even think about this stuff you
already committed it in your heart. (Matt.5:28)
And how about " The love of money is the root of all evil." You don't even need to have money to commit this one.
+
Pretty tough standards aren't they?
+
Isn't it wonderful that our sins are forgiven?
I guess that takes care of the 7 deadly sins.
x
+ Oops!, I forgot....their is one sin that is not on that list.
Blasphemy against The Holy Spirit.
It seems there isn't (is not) (doesn't exist) any forgiveness for this one. So maybe there is 1 deadly sin. I wonder if it has anything to do with that Harlot and her bed-fellows from the book of Revelation. Or Maybe it has something to do with the five unwise virgins in the "Gospels".

I know it seems that I have made light of these things and I have, only to make it more palatable to swallow: Without having a knee-jerk reaction. Our sins are forgiven because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. It is hard to understand how we as believers still end up contending with sin even after we believe. Although our sins are forgiven.
+
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is something that really needs to be addressed. We are "all" peppered with sin ( yes, and even after we believe, if you'll really be honest with yourself.) Dealing with this daily, by salting ourselves with the "Word of God" (Jesus) and allowing the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" to mix it into the cleansing solution that will wash it as needed. I know this is the direction I want to be charged with following.
+
It is interesting to me that it is written when the Holy Spirit comes, The Holy Spirit will reprove the world of sin. I kind of perceive this to mean that the "Real" issue of sin (you know, "the weightier measures of the law" Judgement, mercy, and faith) will be exposed by the Holy Spirit, not just the stuff that we have become familiar with as "forgivable sins". Isn't it interesting that in connection with this, that
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
IS
the "Only" unforgivable sin.

You follow Jesus.
It is all about your personal relationship with God ( Himself ). Your personal relationship with God is what you will also be responsible for to Him.

In regards to the Blasphemy Of the Holy Spirit...which is speaking things that simply are not true about the Holy Spirit, in the book of Matthew is says:
+
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb,: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the Prince of the devils.25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
+
This makes me wonder if the opposite would also be true. In other words, would attributing the works of the Harlot Church to the Holy Spirit, be the same thing. Something to think about.
