Originally posted by divegeesterYou see Dive .. here is where we will continue to differ. The Bible clearly says:
"Unabated" sin can be forgiven (even though the word is not used in scripture). Jesus paid the price for all sin, you cannot put a measure or a limit on what is and what is not forgiven. You assume that the only way god deals with his people is by taking back the gift of salvation. This would like a parent booting their child out of the house for repeati ...[text shortened]... ll you commit between now and your death that will be greater these that will keep you from God?
1. that there are sins that will be forgiven and there are many whose sins are grave, and many who will continue to sin and God will forgive. Nobody is arguing that. So pointing out eg of David, Moses etc etc, proves nothing.
2. that some will NOT be forgiven and it says so several times in several different ways and about several kinds of people, INCLUDING THOSE WHO TASTED HOLY SPIRIT GIFTS.
You are taking the first statement and not accepting the second. Quite likely people do that because of their indoctrination or other reason. I accept BOTH. Just like how I accept that BOTH faith and works play an intefgral role in ones salvation because the Bible says that BOTH are important and essential.
There are some whose sins are forgiven.
There are some who will claim to accept Christ and will NOT be accepted.
There are some whose sins WILL NOT be forgiven.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV)
Trying to twist this passage [and others like it] demonstrates indoctrination in some belief other that what the Bible says.
