So I've been away for a while and haven't had a lot of time to post... But I'm back now. I thank all of those who have presented key ideas that have helped me to arrive at the following conclusion: It is an issue of the heart. If someone reads the verse in Romans 10:9 and is dumb, does that mean tha...

Well, I think that I've recently come to a solid conclusion on the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Yes, that's right. Even one that suits my nitpicking attitude. I won't post it now because I don't have enough time, but I may get around to it later.

Ok. I know now that Christ probably meant more than just an act of tongue, vocal cords, and breath. I obviously has something to do with your heart. So my last question still remains: “If a person has an evil heart and speaks evil of the Holy Spirit, but - as all things are possible with God - he c...

By the way, there's something wrong with the Discussion link on the bottom of the Godandscience.org website. I click it as much as I want, but it only refreshes that page. I have to right click on the link and look at its target. Even when I paste the target link into the URL, it still only takes me...

I thank you for all of your replies. I should clarify something though. I'd been looking at Young's Literal, and I could have sworn that it said 'speaking evil TO' the Holy Spirit. However, it says 'speaking evil OF' the Holy Spirit. I swear that someone's got to be messing with the translation... B...

Was the culture back then that used the word 'speaking' also able to use it to apply to things other than verbally and audibly forming words with one's tongue and breath and vocal cords? I just want to get down to the bottom of this so that I can explain this to others who are as nitpicky as me when...

So no one knows the answer to my question? If you blaspheme God (in general), then who or what part of God are you blaspheming Packrat, I think you are nitpicking here. You have been given some very good responses and the most commonly accepted answer to your question is in line with the idea of re...

So no one knows the answer to my question? If you blaspheme God (in general), then who or what part of God are you blaspheming I would venture to say that if you were blaspheming God (in general) then you are blaspheming The Father. "God" was not only who The Father was but many times als...

Hello! So no one knows the answer to my question? If you blaspheme God (in general), then who or what part of God are you blaspheming? I'm kinda of the opinion that if you blaspheme God, then you blaspheme every part of God - even the Holy Spirit. And concerning the different parts of the Trinity, I...

So far it seems to me that the Father is most often referred to as God . The H oly Spirit is referred to as God's Spirit . And Christ is referred to as the Son of the Father or the Son of God . So Christ is flesh and has the Spirit of God in him. And if you blaspheme the Spirit of God, then you will...

packrat, The Trinity can be a very confusing study. The idea of it does not fit into our minds. How can 3 persons be one God? Right? John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and wi...

Resurrection of Christ: Proving He was who He said He was: God So in order to be saved, you're saying that we have to believe that Jesus the Christ is God? I understand that he is the Son of God, but how is he God? My heart is not packrat - nor is my arm. How can the Son of God - who is only part o...

I would also like to pose the question, "Is it necessary for salvation that the Believer be filled with the Holy Spirit?" And if that is necessary to be saved, is it necessary to understand that you are filled with the Holy Spirit in order to trust in God that you can die at any moment but...

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. I've been mindful of that verse quite often recently. I only hope that it is in God's good will to show...
