    All the passages in the NT which speak of the punishment of servants of Christ Calvin interpreted as pertaining to FALSE Christians.

    All the same passages Arminians say pertain to Real Christians who LOST there eternal salvation.

    What I have presented for YEARS on this Forum is that ...[text shortened]... years. They are SAVED yet so as through fire. They suffer loss. They do not suffer eternal loss.
    they are not all pertaining to false Christians jaywill, not at all, but because you have this Calvinistic baggage with you, you are forced to see it that way.

    the way that we understand, sinning against the holy spirit is quite interesting, take for example the Pharisees, who were opposed to Christ. Christ healed a man with a withered hand of which they were eye witnesses of the operation of Gods Holy spirit, Christ said to them, if you do not believe me, believe on account of the works themselves, yet they conspired to kill him, despite having been eyewitnesses of the operation of Gods Holy spirit, this is an inexcusable sin.


    I do not see how what you write here is substantially different from what I wrote. Except that you do not regard the Holy Spirit as God.

    This is the only difference I can see. The blasphemy is against a "Person" - the Holy Spirit. You count it as speaking against an impersonal force.

    Besides that difference, what did you say that I did not say ?
    The opposers saw what Jesus did and said He had an unclean spirit or He had Beelzebul (Matt. 12:27).

    For such a strenuous objection I don't see too much difference in what you just explained from what I explained.

    I did say that I lean toward the persuasion that maybe it is no longer possible to commit this sin in this way.

    You are not understanding me.

    Go back and read that post again and you should see that I do NOT argue that they pertain to FALSE Christians.

    I SAID pure Calvinism would see it that way.
    Read the post AGAIN.

    but you are correct, Christ did mention a particular type of sin.


    I understood you to mean you acknowledge that it is a mistake to regard Jesus there as talking about SINS [plural].

    The correct view you acknowledge is that He spoke of a particular sin.

    when Christ healed the lady of the flow of blood that had afflicted her for years after she touched his garments amoungst a crowd, he said, who touched my garments for i beheld power going out of me. Clearly the Holy spirit empowered Christ to perform miracles, don't you think?

    The posts are getting too short and chit chat.

    Substantial questions or replies or fellowship I respond to better.

    And excuse me you graphic face makers. Rightly or wrongly I don't pay much attention to these emotional indicators. I just kind of read quickly by them without much notice.

    If they are meant to convey friendliness I am sorry if I seem unresponsive to anything other than the words that you write.

    Thank you.

    Sometimes we are just so filled with thoughts we do not take in other's thoughts well.

    I do it also.

    Robbie, have you ever willfully sinned after having recieved the accurate knowledge of the truth?

    Jehovah witnesses do not profess belief in Hellfire, for goodness sake can you not even get your stereotypes and prejudices right?
    Oh dear, your right, what was I thinking! I'm sorry, but there are churches that control their people with condemnation and hell fire...

    Hmmmm, you got me again...but that verse still does not mean a a christian will lose their salvation because it contradicts too many other verses.
