Every sin is blasphemy against the Holy spirit. “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” (Bible, New testament, James 2:10) So blasphemy against the holy spirit is forgiven along with all sins because Jesus died for you you will go to Heaven. My words of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit are credited to Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ’s words...

March 19, 2013 at 7:45 pm :: Eschatology of Being “Born Again” :: Greg
Very good. This site has some wonderful exegesis that is sorely needed in the church today. I would suggest one minor ‘adjustment’ though. While you are correct that the reference is to the restoration of Israel, it is important to note a few things. First of all, the call and promises are to the ‘remnant’ of Israel (Is. 10:20-22 – those who repent will return, a play on the...

March 15, 2013 at 9:47 pm :: Correcting Two Mistakes of the Law-Gospel Hermeneutic :: Greg
Very well done. The ‘rich young ruler’ was not claiming perfection or perfect obedience to the Law. There are loads of Jewish writings from before and after Jesus that dispel the myth that perfect obedience to the Law was what first-century Jews thought God expected. The young man was saying that he had lived as a faithful covenant-keeping Israelite, as Paul claims in Phil. 3:4-6...
March 5, 2013 at 3:28 am :: Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit? :: Rev.Grover Hunter
Greetings Dear friends, I want to explain something to all who may have concerns that they may have committed the unpardonable sin, first of all all goodness comes from God and without God(Holy Ghost) man has no goodness in him period ! So we know that no man can come to the father unless the spirit draw him. So out side of God we can see by scriptures that the mind, the heart, and body is dead in sin, and...
March 2, 2013 at 8:35 pm :: Does the New Covenant have its own distinctive sanctions as well as blessings? We affirm :: John
I believe that there is much confusion over this topic. It’s important to note the difference between sin and apostasy. For sin, there are no longer any curses which apply to the believer for committing sin: 1Jn 2:1 “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus...

February 22, 2013 at 6:06 pm :: Why Does the Pastor Wear a Robe? :: Rev. Milton
Sisters and Brothers, The world shall know us by the love that we have for each other. Our bickering about the offices within the church organization should not separate the Body of Christ. Yes, the Bible has set qualifications regarding the sexes, for the offices of the organization, but we need to remember that preaching is proclaiming the Gospel. If truth be told; the first to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus...

I am a prophet. God gave me a double portion anointing. Sign and Wonders are wrought in my ministry. How could I get more information, on the Spirit of Elijah? I am trying to learn more about my ministry. I am trying to learn more about the office of a prophet. I want to know more about God Will! Thank You! Mr. Cox

February 10, 2013 at 7:04 pm :: God’s Promises to the Jews :: Herbert
Your statements are flawed very early in your writings. By Jewish law, family bloodline has always traveled through the father, not the mother. To say that Jesus is the bloodline of Abraham and David is also saying that his human father was of the same bloodline. This, would certainly undo any and all followings that Jesus was born of God or is the son of God. This would make him the son of someone who is of the...
January 31, 2013 at 2:25 pm :: God’s Promises to the Jews :: Ron
Pastor Jeff,I am of Jewish origin, Bar Mitzvah at 13. Became a Christian at 19, many years ago. Your explanation is great…Scripture based and well written. There is no use appealing to emotion on this or any other doctrinal point. All must be solidly upheld by His Word. You have done this, and I thank you. Great work! There is no antisemitism here, because no Spirit-filled believer could ever hate the Jews or...

I was emotional one nite, and have been in fear every since thinking I injured the Holy Ghost with questions of if demons could be brought to repentence, or ever had a chance to be forgiven. I have had no rest since, and am so wanted to feel forgiven. Please Help. Thank you. It was just a question that popped in my mind, and I asked.
January 29, 2013 at 2:29 pm :: God’s Promises to the Jews :: Carl
Thanks to Jeffery Meyers for his good article. Exodus 19:5-6a is key: ‘Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ Only the Lord Jesus (an Israelite) fully obeyed so he is God’s true Israel (Is. 49:3). Receiving the promises is based on total...
