otuwe:
the Bible doesnt contain everything. seek deeper my friend

Otuwe,

The Bible contains enough so that you get the message. The deeper part people need to seek is within them, the Holy Spirit will teach them the deeper things of God, that are not clear to those who look with only their natural eyes.

TV01,

Nice to see you too. I haven't seen Trini. Lots of people are missing in action. Smile.

Bari-Kade,

Excellent posts explaining the various sins against the Holy Spirit.

ok lets assume there was nothing like reincarnation and that everybody came once. then how do u think our fore fathers who never knew anything like God or the early men (primitive cave men) who didnt even have a language would be judged.

Adam, Eve, Noah, Melchisidek, Enoch.

All of these men represent people who lived before Jesus Christ. They were not Jews. They were not Israelites.

So it is quite clear that God has been working with all men since before the bible.

Thus there is no need to worry about our African Anscestors. Each had a chance to know God and follow Him.

What would be the purpose in being reincarnated spiritually?

Things highly esteemed by men are an abomination in the sight of God.

So why would he send a poor child back as a rich child?

God does not esteem rich's or rich people.

One thing the devil really loves is to hear people trying to parry with him and deflect their minds to something or someone other than himself (and this is what actually empowers him to wreck havoc in the minds of people). He hates truth; and when you tell the truth, his authority to deceive is weakened and defeated.

Bari-Kade,

This is how my sister would be confused. In her mind she would hear terrible things about God but think she said them.

It's hard to explain to people that the devil is not dumb. He knows to say something to you, to make you think, you alone said it.

Jesus made clear that even Peter's rather normal human thought: i.e. I do not want my leader to die.

Was really a thought placed there by the devil.

Thus Jesus rebuked the real culprit. Satan.

Mat 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Bari-Kade,

I don't even get why they would trust the "Father of lies", to do anything for them a Christian.

Otuwe,

The devil is real. And tempting believers to kill themselves or give up on God because they have "blasphemed" the Holy Spirit, supposedly, is a work of the devil.

I agree though that too many do not like to truly examine themselves and want instead the fault to lie outside of themselves and the devil is a great convenience, for that.

I just about lose my mind, when the preacher says: Let's pray.

Then starts talking to satan "Satan, take your hands off sister so and so", etc,etc.

If you are talking to God, praying, then why do you begin to pray to satan in the middle of your prayer?

That one is my pet peeve.

I have had an aunt and an sister bothered for years by the idea that they had blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

I think it is just the devil, mostly now a days trying to play mind games with Christians.
