There are only 2 people in here that are not HELL BOUND! 

Judge not, lest ye be judged.  I guess Sherna and Sheryl are going to be lonely in heaven without the rest of us to debate with.  Interesting, though, is that Marie is in this room as well, and she said only two were not hell bound...   

[shernajwine]

well, although i appreciate that marie thinks i'm worthy of heaven (if indeed i was included in her statement) i don't agree with that post. as a matter of fact i believe in the power of prayer SO much that i have an entire church praying for people in this forum and i believe that spiritual warfare is underway! satans defeat is imminent!

Thank you for praying for me.  Please don't be offended, though, that my religion does not call me in the same direction.  I can only hope, though, that if there really is a heaven, that there will be a place for the people I believe are good...and you are on that list.

I think my last post made a very clear difference between God and Manson and Manson's followers and God's followers.

You're being ridiculous and I would have expected better from you than to resort to school yard tactics of insulting.

Reap what you sow, something or another (I believe that's in your cool book).  I posted my favorite quote, you jumped on me for no apparent reason. I enjoy biting back as well.

You didn't show the difference really.  You cherry-picked random quotes to prove a silly point, even after accepting that you were defending a being that commanded murder on dozens of occasions.  "/ boring

Funny enough, the only real difference between the two is that it's never been proven Manson killed anybody himself.

[shernajwine]

so your favorite quote is God is like Charles Manson?? alrighty then!

and how exactly have i resorted to the immature tactic of insulting? because if i have resorted to petty name calling (as compared to haha you're god is a meany just like charles manson) then please let me know. mainly so i can apologize because i find that behavior unacceptable.

Listen, like I said before everyone will be judged according to what they know. You are a child of God, my prayer for you is not one of salvation but of peace. It's hard to try and be good enough for a God who is perfect. And it's not supposed to be hard. Our walk with God is going to have trials but ultimately we are supposed to enjoy Him. That's my prayer for you

I posted my favorite quote.  It had nothing to do with Manson.  It was simply an analogy after you made nonsense excuses for murdering people.

and how exactly have i resorted to the immature tactic of insulting? because if i have resorted to petty name calling (as compared to haha you're god is a meany just like charles manson) then please let me know. mainly so i can apologize because i find that behavior unacceptable.

I didn't insult anyone.  Your religion is not a person.  If you take personal offense to me criticizing an ideology, I don't know what to tell you.

You assumed my intent with the quote, then proceeded to call me ignorant -- even when I completely understand the context of the OT and don't really need it explained.  I appreciate your concern though.

[shernajwine]

God is a type of person to me. I refer to Him as my heavenly father.....so if you say my Dad was like charles manson then, to me it's the same thing. And you said my religion is not a person...ok, so religion murdered people?? No, that was not your statement, you said God murdered people. God is not religion. God is a spiritual PERSON.
And if you really think you understand the context of the OT and still think God is comparable to charles manson then you ARE ignorant. But that is my opinion of course. I'm sure you probably think the same of me.

[shernajwine]

marie, you really shouldn't assume who is going to heaven. As a christian it should concern you that anyone exhibits behavior that is sinful but the answer is not to shout out at them that they are hell bound. If you care about where they are going, pray for them. I'm begging you, because your own behavior is sinful in itself, you are not allowed to judge peoples eternal destination, you are not God. As much as I may be inclined to agree with you  about certain peoples souls being in danger of hell, I'm more concerned with changing that destination by praying, then by telling them about the one way ticket they are holding!

As a fellow christian I am sincerely asking you to please, stop telling people they are going to hell. Please.

talking bad about God isn't an unforgivable sin. blaspheming the holy spirit is...and how you blaspheme the holy spirit is by holding unforgiveness towards others in your heart. and i'm sure that all the people bad mouthing God know that it pisses you off, they know that it angers any person who believes in God and loves Him. they don't care if it pisses you off, but you aren't "making it okay" just because you refrain from telling them they are going to hell. you are not going to make them stop saying the things they say or believe any differently just because you tell them they are going to hell.


Collosians 3
 12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Matthew 5:44 (King James Version)
 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

God doesn't love you or me any more-so than he loves the people that don't believe in him. 

[shernajwine]

"the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God;
the only unforgivable sin is the rejection of..... forgiveness

If a person is rejecting God at this very moment and bad mouthing him...they are still capable of being forgiven.

Therefore, "blasphemy against the Holy Ghost" can be understood as a continued and persistently stubborn rejection of the gospel of salvation

What about when they stop rejecting the gospel?? Are you implying that the people in this forum who are rejecting God now, have no hope even when they come to the conclusion that He is real and accept Jesus as savior? That would be wrong!!

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
—Romans 10:9-13

There was no exception made in regards to this scripture! EVERYONE who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!

You're entire reference is for UNSAVED people. Unsaved people are till capable of being saved....however, when you reject forgiveness, whether forgiveness of your own sins or forgiving others of theirs you stand unforgivable before God.
Mark 11:25-26 (New International Version)
25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."[a]
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins.


Blaspheming the holy spirit is rejecting the very nature of God which is love and forgiveness.

[shernajwine]

In conclusion, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unpardonable sin mentioned in the Bible, and it is mentioned in the context of the Pharisees accusing Jesus of being possessed by the Devil. The context indicates that it was a specific sin, and not a series of forgivable sins, or an attitude of persistent unbelief. After the resurrection, no inspired writer mentions the sin, and no warnings against it were recorded. There is no concrete evidence that it can be committed today. The fact that it is not mentioned after the resurrection, lends itself to the idea that it cannot still be committed. In fact, the indication from passages such as 1 John 1:7,9 is that “all unrighteousness” that a person could commit today can be forgiven by the blood of Jesus

Your own post contradicted your whole argument that trash talking God is unforgivable blasphemy!

So keep that in mind when you feel the need to condemn people. They are ALL forgivable, as are you when you blaspheme by judging.

Say something bad about my mom and see how long it takes before I condemn you.

  Hmm, your mother really should have taught you some manners and not given up on you after the age of 3, marieelissa. By the way, since you know so much about the bible(sic) - obvious because you know how to copy and paste page after page that has nothing to do with the subject, but takes up lots of space - you should know you have no power to condemn anyone.

I knew you would once again step up your childish attacks on people. Things had been relatively quiet until you just had to get the spotlight back on yourself again because everyone was letting you slide. Even poor Sherene, out of pure goodness, which you know nothing about, is asking you to clean up your act. You are such a sad excuse for a (supposed) child of God, yet are sure you will go to your magical heaven. I'd bet MY life on it that you will not, even if I did think heaven or hell existed. If your behaviour qualifies as good and christian, you'll be dining with murderers, thieves, and every other bad person in your 'afterlife'.

[jordandog]

since you know so much about the bible(sic) - obvious because you know how to copy and paste page after page that has nothing to do with the subject, but takes up lots of space.

I was explaining what blasphemy is...kind of hard to argue with sources that are not in my words...because how can you attack a copy/paste article when you just want to attack me...

No, you were not explaining anything. You once again posted lengthy paste jobs. I am NOT arguing with the words in the sources, I do not care. I am simply pointing out how inept you are when it comes to acting as if you are actually a better person than the rest of us because you throw around quotes and tell us what is going to happen to us. You cannot even take care of yourself. Why not make that your priority? It might be a great idea for you to take the time you spend attacking people on here and put it to better use looking at yourself and your life. I don't have to 'scream' at other people to make myself feel better. I live a good, caring, and productive life. If it turns out there actually is something out there after I take my last breath, I am in no way concerned that I will be in a bad place. Can you say the same? From what I have seen here the last 6 months, I highly doubt it. Quit blaming YOUR actions on everyone else, it doesn't fly.

[Falconer02]

Non-believers don't have to be an example of anything because "they don't believe". 

Right. Or whatever we want to be examples of. We're free.

you should know you have no power to condemn anyone.

Sure she does! In her own mind. And since we have proof that nothing of it is true, what harm is she really doing? She's just hurting her side of the argument. Especially because she can't argue.
