According to another thread, there are unforgivable sins that, once committed, damm your soul to eternal hell with no chance of redemption.
This notion seem to come mostly from the book of Mark. According to Mark (3:28-29) "Truly I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter: but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin."
So, according to this scripture, if I utter the incantation "I deny the Holy Spirit," then my soul shall be condemned forever and perhaps Brother Bloviator will stop pestering me about getting saved.
It is exactly 8:33am on February 17th. Those of you who wish to save my poor soul have 24 hours to do so. If you fail, I shall utter the incantation at this time tomorrow morning thereby sealing my fate forever.
I find it an oxymoron statement to claim something does not exist, but then also make sure you are dammed by it?
I have to wonder why you did not go to the trouble of denying all god's by name? And researching each religion to figure out what can be said that or done that would be considered unforgivable in each one to make sure you are dammed by all?
Then I find it even more a oxymoron statement when the question is often asked: What makes your God the only one that is right? Then you answer that question by your own actions by making sure "that" God damms you.
It shows that in the minds of most atheists, they actually know who the real God is. How much money is spent fighting The Christian God compared to every other god? If I were to estimate it, I would say 90% of money and time is spent going against the Christian God and less than 10% combined for all other gods who basically only get a mention. Just like some of the examples in this thread.
You gys may deny the Christian God all you want, but your actions that focus constantly on that one God shows that you actually know He s real. And in Heaven, there will be no excuse for such knowledge and the denial of it.
