You think all sin is equal?

...with the exception of blashemy, according to Scripture. That is the only one unforgivable. I don't think anybody has settled on what the exact application of that means.

I don't know if the article is true, and really don't care. (Didn't I already state that.) It makes no difference to me, when taken in the context of my posts. You are ranting and raving like a lunatic. I would suggest you see a doc for some meds. Lithium may help! Or, you may want to start reading the rest of your Bible. Start with Genesis 1:1, and get back to me when you find the Gospels, and Paul's writings.

Your wrong.

Mark 3:22-30 states,

"And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, 'He has Beelzebub,' and, 'By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.' ...'Assuredly, I [Jesus] say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation;' because they said, 'He has an unclean spirit'"




It is unequivocally clear that the one unforgivable sin is permanently rejecting Christ (John 3:18; 3:36). Thus, speaking against the Holy Spirit is equivalent to rejecting Christ with such finality that no future repentance is possible. 'My spirit shall not always strive with man,' God said long ago (Genesis 6:3). ...In the context of this particular passage (Matthew 12:22-32), Jesus had performed a great miracle of creation, involving both healing and casting out a demon, but the Pharisees rejected this clear witness of the Holy Spirit. Instead they attributed His powers to Satan, thus demonstrating an attitude permanently resistant to the Spirit, and to the deity and saving Gospel of Christ"
