According to Jesus, not eveyone gets in the grace of God,
Mark 3:29
"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation"
Can someone explain this bit? The blasphemer "hath never forgiveness" but he is only "in danger of eternal damnation".
If you're never forgiven, how can you
not be eternally damned? If you're only "in danger of eternal damnation", then what can you do to get to heaven
without being forgiven?
Heres more,
Matthew 12:32
"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
Luke 12:10
"And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."
I still don't follow you can never be forgiven but at the same time only possibly be eternally damned? Being in danger of being hit by a bus is not the same as being hit by a bus.
The first quote was written by Mark, who has a different writing style than Luke or Matthew. Being in danger doesnt necessarily mean there's a way to avoid said danger,
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/danger"Danger is the general word for liability to all kinds of injury or
evil consequences, either near at hand and certain, or remote and doubtful"
Thanks, I didn't know that meaning of "danger". I'd always just thought it meant "possible negative consequence".
Religious people redefine laws of physics, vocabulary and logic in order to make sense of the Bible
Whatever it takes to hide the truth.
