You state that you will no longer debate this with me yet close your post by asking me another question, which is, are we forgiven or destroyed? Why do you ask me that if you will nolonger debate it with me?
Well anyway, here goes. Scripture states that all men are guilty of sin and their punish is death, eternal seperation from God. Yet by Gods grace He has saved some...not all people for not all Believe. So not ALL people (Universalism) are saved but only those whom God has called to be His.
Take care

For if a man believes, his wife being a non-believer is sanctified through his belief.

ben, please post that passage and exegete it for me please. I would like to see how you get that the unpardonable sin is denying the truth that sin is forgiven.
Thanks

Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever, they shall blaspheme:
Mark 3:29 But he, that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Blasphemy is defined through Strong's as vilification (defamation). Verse 29 shows that the unforgiveable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, in otherwords the spirit of God or truth. Therefore, denying the spirit in belief is blaspheming in that one calls it a lie.
Verse 28 refers to physical sins and that they are all forgiven, because there is no basis for judgment of the flesh by any standard when all are incapable of attaining perfection in the flesh. Thus the whole purpose of this thread, to uphold the truth that all physical sins are forgiven.
These two verses go hand in hand, but have two seperate functions. Those who deny the spirit will not be forgiven of blaspheming the spirit, but will be forgiven of fleshly sins. They will be renewed just like all peoples but will be forever seperated from God by the intermediary of those who have not blasphemed the spirit. Those who have not blasphemed the spirit will be one with God and serve as laisons between the spiritual realm and the physcial realm. This is their function of those called the "elect", or the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation.
This is why I said, "For if a man believes, his wife being a non-believer is sanctified through his belief.", which is a reference to 1 Corinthians 7:14:
"For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else, were your children unclean; but now are they holy."
Marriage between man and woman is a precursor to the marriage between believers and non-believers being described as "man" and "woman". Man is the image of God and woman comes from man (allegorically described in Genesis). The believers who have not desecrated (blasphemed) the truth will sanctify those who do not, otherwise the non-believers will be stuck in the position of having to deal with their own disbelief and be judged. There is no other way to judge the physical world of division in the flesh other than destruction, because a house divided cannot stand.
I am fortunate to be able to have the time to tell you this for now.

I hate to say this, Ben, but your view of these scriptures and the sin against the Holy Spirit do not stand up to exegesis. According to the Matthew Henry Commentary on the Bible, MK 3:28-29 can be understood thusly:
In other words, the sin against the Holy Spirit which can not be forgiven is the assignment of the works of the Spirit to Satan.
As for the quote from 1 Cor 7, Henry says this:
Man and wife must not separate for any other cause than what Christ allows. Divorce, at that time, was very common among both Jews and Gentiles, on very slight pretexts. Marriage is a Divine institution; and is an engagement for life, by God's appointment. We are bound, as much as in us lies, to live peaceably with all men, Ro 12:18, therefore to promote the peace and comfort of our nearest relatives, though unbelievers. It should be the labour and study of those who are married, to make each other as easy and happy as possible. Should a Christian desert a husband or wife, when there is opportunity to give the greatest proof of love? Stay, and labour heartily for the conversion of thy relative. In every state and relation the Lord has called us to peace; and every thing should be done to promote harmony, as far as truth and holiness will permit. (1
Meaning that the unbelieving spouse is lead to putting their trust in Christ through the example of their believing husband or wife. Otherwise the unbelieving person has not repented personally of their sin or expressed the need for a Savior. If your view were correct, then, killers & child molesters would be "sanctified" by believing spouses which is clearly not supported by scripture.
Do you normally follow the words of men or God?

In other words, you believe you have been given special revelation, most likely through or via the Holy Spirit, as to what is true. Sure there may be alot of scholars out there but if they do not agree with your preconceived ideas of what Scripture "A" states then they must be in error.
That being so I find it very odd for you to start off your exegesis with a reference to "Strong's" YET when the poster, "lightseeker", gives a reference from the "Matthew-Henry Commentary" you have this to say in reagrds to that:
Do you normally follow the words of men or God?
How can you say that if you have also used a book with "words of men" to justify your stance? Is one better than the other?
Now in regards to Mark 3:28 and 29. One cannot, or should not, interpret two passages seperate from its surrounding context. This would then be "Eisogesis" which means to "read into" the text a preconceived notion or idea of what it OUGHT to say. What we want, especially when reading Scripture, is to perform a proper "Exegesis" which means we read FROM or OUT of the text. We allow whatever we are reading to speak to us. Also, a word is defined, given its meaning by its surrounding context. To isolate a word from its context ensures a bad interpretation.
That goes without saying; for if Ben is truly giving us information of a divine revelatory nature, then all scholars are disqualified from the start. Unless, of course, they also have received divine revelation. In that case, there would be cohesiveness if not absolute similitude between what the scholar said and what Ben said, so that makes the whole thing a mute point.

Ben, I understand your frustration....BUT if what say is correct then how come all men do not know of this, that ALL sin is forgiven?
Follow me here please. You claim that this has been revealed to you and that God has forgiven ALL sin. Why then does not God reveal this to ALL men? What purpose does it serve if only you know of this?
Is there not some guide for Truth?
I have been able to decipher what you have written in your posts so how come I cannot use that same ability to read Scripture? Is it for only a few to be able to read and discern and then also know? That's contradictory to the Gospel message as a whole. Jesus wanted it to be shared, did He not?
Also, I am not "try(ing) to prove the gospel to be incorrect". Rather I fully believe that the gospel is that Jesus is God Incarnate, He was crucified and then died for my sin and resurrected the 3rd day and in Him we have salvation by Gods grace.
So again I pose the question, if God has revealed to me through special revelation that you are incorrect and I'm right, would you then change your way?
I doubt it, but why not? Afterall who are you to say that God did not reveal this to me? What shall you use as your guide, your honesty? I'm am also honest, I don't lie. So who are we to believe? You because you are more sincere?
Do you see the trouble we now have? How did the people of Israel tell the difference between the true and the false prophets? Is there not a warning to the Believers in the New Testament also about false teachers and prophets proclaiming to know of a new, different or better way?
So there MUST be some guide for Truth or anyone can claim to be a true prophet of God and without that guide no one could know who is true or who is false, do you not agree?

What is so different from "blasphemy" and "blasphemes against the Holy Spirit"?? One is forgiven, if repented of, and the other has no forgivness, why? How does one "blasphemy the Holy Spirit" in the first place?
It occurs when one attributes the work of the Holy Spirit to demonic activity, such as the Scribes did here. In fact Mark states this as the cause of Jesus strong words in the very next verse.

Because blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is that which is related to fornication(orgasm).
Other types of karma can be payed with good deeds or can even be forgiven by Christ.
But the karma created by profaning the very energy of creation itself(The Holy Spirit) must be payed through suffering.
This type of act against the Holy Spirit is related to what is called Kamaduro and Karmasaya.
Many of the clergy are ignorant of the Alchemy/Tantra found within the Gospels and are therefore fornicators because they do not know the science.
The celibate priests fornicate because they can't contain the sexual energy by suppressing it.
Many of the married priests fornicate because they do not know to withdraw from the sexual act before reaching orgasm.
It is taught that when one withdraws from the sexual act before fornicating(spilling the Mercury), the refrained desire is transmuted into the energy of the Holy Spirit(the 'Sulphur' of Alchemy).
The Mercury is transmuted into Sulphur through the proper utilization of Salt.
So we speak blasphemy when we say that fornicators who don't know the Science of Alchemy have the gift of the Holy Spirit!
Yeshua said that we should marry if we can't transmute and contain the energy of the Holy Spirit through meditation and pranayama.
But esoterically we should marry regardless, as to receive the same Initiation that Yeshua received and that He wants us to receive.
But these things were only taught symbolically, or in parables, during the Piscean Age.
Yeshua was the Christ Avatar of Pisces.
Now we are in Aquarius.

...And Lilith are the forces of evil that work in the darkness - they have nothing to do with the light - they enjoy performing evil, the ego.
There is on the Left Hand the so-called Witches Sabbath - in which the witches, demons, sorcerers, etc, gather in order to celebrate the Sabbath, but in the evil way. This is why there was confusion in the Middle Ages, because of the Ignorance of the Catholic priests who didn't know about the secrets of Sabbath, and criticised even the great Initiates who were working with Jehovah Elohim, the Holy Spirit. Of course many initiates were burned, killed, by the "Holy Inquisition" that didn't know anything about the Holy Work with the Holy Spirit.
This Great Work is in relation to the sexual organs, that which we call the Holy Tabernacle, or the Ark of the Covenant, the Ark of Science, the Ark of Alliance etc. This is always referring to the sexual organs.
That is why there are a lot of commandments in the Bible relating to sex. There are many people that read the Bible but do not understand it, because they ignore the Mysteries of Binah, Saturday.
So the enemies of Saturday are those who violate the forces of the Holy Spirit.
When you polarize with the positive forces of Saturn, then you work in a good way with the occult forces of the Holy Spirit, because the whole work is always performed occultly, in the darkness.
When you pray, you close your eyes and are hidden in the dark. The whole work is guided by Saturn. And whoever is a conqueror is a Lord of Saturday.
That is why Jesus said the Son of Man is a Lord of Saturday. But you have to understand that the Son of Man is an Initiate in union with the forces of Christ working in the annihilation of the ego, and the creation of the Wedding Garment of the Soul, the Solar Bodies. This is necessary to become Lord of Saturday, and to perform all the miracles, because all the miracles or psychological works are performed on Saturday. This is how Jesus performed many miracles on Saturday. Jeshua, the Saviour, will perform many miracles in you if you keep the Sabbath, Saturday, holy - if you work with the Holy Spirit in the right way.
But the opposite are the enemies of the Holy Spirit - the fornicators.
In the Seventh Sphere of Hell, related with the negative aspect of Saturn, you find all the enemies of the Holy Spirit. They declare themselves enemies of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes they do it consciously, sometimes unconsciously.
Dante Alighieri found Priests there, in the Seventh Sphere, who were celibate. Of course, when someone doesn't conquer the dominion of the sexual force in their physical body, and rejects the sexual act, but ignores how to transmute, they are an enemy of the Holy Spirit.
These people think they can reach God by rejecting the sexual act - they ignore that in order to reach that level one needs first of all to teach the physical body how to transmute in the physical act and to create the Wedding Garment of the Soul, to reach the Second Birth.
They are enemies of the Holy Spirit - most of them have nocturnal pollutions, wet dreams, where all of the energy of the Holy Spirit spills out of their body. They fornicate when they have that type of dream, because Fornication is when the sexual matter leaves the sexual organs - that is fornication. Whether it is by masturbation, or wet dream, or whether in legitimate matrimony - it doesn't matter how the sexual matter leaves the body, if it is spilled, it is fornication, it is written.
And if any man's Semen go out from him during copulation, then he shall wash all his flesh in (the sexual) waters (of Yesod), and be unclean until the even (Klipoth).
The woman also with whom man shall lie with semen during copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in (the sexual) waters (of Yesod), and be unclean until the even (Klipoth). - Leviticus 15:16, 18
And the enemies of the Holy Spirit hate the cross - how are they called? There are many levels of this type of hatred, but the most well known person is Dracula.
Who is Dracula? A vampire - a type of psychological defect, a lustful defect, which is related with homosexuality. A male vampire is a homosexual, and a female vampire is a lesbian, in the physical world. They hate the cross, because the cross is the crossing of the masculine force with the feminine force in the sexual act. The phallus united with the uterus makes the cross. This is why male and female vampires hate the cross.
Those vampires are the egos of lust of homosexuals and lesbians. So there are as many male and female vampires as homosexuals and lesbians in the world - those egos that like to suck the energy of those that are "normal."
In a similar way as the ego of anger likes to fight and argue, the ego of homosexuality and lesbianism likes to suck the energy and hates the cross, and gives a lot of justifications in order to justify its hatred of the cross. That is why they are enemies of the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit works in the cross, makes life in the cross.
The Holy Spirit is that wisdom, that intelligence, that unites two atoms of Hydrogen with one atom of oxygen, crosses them, and in that cross the Holy Spirit makes water, and thanks to the water we are alive.
In every single union, or crossing of elements, is what is nature. The Holy Spirit is always creating different types of life with the crossing of elements. The sperm and the ovum, or the water etc, are always the result of the cross.
The cross is a holy symbol.
That is why Jesus was crucified on the cross - because he was sacrificing himself in order to give life, through the cross.
That's why it is stupid when you know the knowledge to say that Jesus also accepts homosexuals and gives them eternal life, to say that they will be saved. Homosexuals and lesbians are rotten seeds, spiritually speaking. Why? Because they do not germinate, not even physically.
Homosexual marriages adopt children because they cannot create life, they have given up creating life, because they hate the cross, physically speaking. So how are they going to create internal light, internal life, how are they going to make light in the darkness when they justify their homosexuality and lesbianism? They are lost cases. Not because we say so, but because they cannot even make life physically, let alone internally. They hate the cross. In order to make light in the darkness you need to worship the cross, but not just believing in it, but working in it, in the Holy Sabbath. But the homosexuals and lesbians are enemies of the Holy Spirit, they violate the Sabbath and follow Lilith, those who hate the Holy Spirit and love Laila, the Night.
In the Seventh Sphere of Hell, controlled by 672 laws, we find those souls who are violent against the Holy Spirit.
There are many ways to perform violence against the Holy Spirit, but the worst way is in the way of homosexuality. They violate their sexual organs, using the Tabernacle of the Holy Spirit in the wrong way and hating the cross.
But also there is violence against nature in those who masturbate, they commit violence against their own body, against life, against the Holy Spirit.
Castration is violence against the Holy Spirit. There are many kinds of castration in these times - we find, for instance, women that cut their fallopian tubes - the female organs are the Holy Tabernacle of Jehovah Elohim, where the Holy Spirit creates life in their body.
Other ways are putting anything inside the physical body to avoid the Holy Spirit making life. This is violence against the Holy Spirit - any contraception. The Holy Spirit is the one that works, is that intelligence in that marvellous communion between the sexual organs and the pineal gland in order to create the hormones that we call the sperm and ovum, for life to be created in this physical world. But when a woman puts into her body pills, any kind of contraceptive, in order to break that marvellous intelligence in the body, she is committing violence against the Holy Spirit, is violating the body, breaking the functioning, the metabolism of their body, with consequences.
Vasectomy is violence against nature, violence against the Holy Spirit.
Everything that goes against life is violence against the Holy Spirit.
There are many vets that think they are doing good by neutering cats and dogs, but they perform violence against the Holy Spirit. What the Holy Spirit created in the animals, they are cutting.
There are many enemies of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the one that illuminates when you enter into chastity, in the path. And you acquire wisdom, intelligence, thanks to the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was illuminated thanks to the Holy Spirit. When he was in the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended into him, as a white dove, and he became Jesus Christ, performing miracles. Because the Holy Spirit was in him, otherwise he couldn't perform any miracles. The Heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a white dove.
This happened to all the Masters - Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, Osiris, Zoroaster - many masters were illuminated by the Holy Spirit, and were expressing, talking, because the Holy Spirit expresses itself through the throat giving the knowledge. So all the religions are holy, because all of them come from Jehovah, Iod-Heva, Siva, the Holy Spirit, Binah, the Intelligence.
So anybody that pronounces himself against a religion is violent against the Holy Spirit. They are an enemy of the Holy Spirit.

You're making this more complicated than it needs to be.
The Holy Spirit is the energy of Creation itself(the synthesis of the Positive, Negative and Neutral Conciliating Forces in all of Nature).
That energy is in our sexual glands as well.
And this is why the Man and Woman, Jachin and Boaz, have to work with these forces in the right way without fornicating.
They have to channel within themselves the Conciliating Force of the Holy Spirit in order to have the gift of the Holy Spirit
