hate the sin, love the sinner

[Athene]

So, it would seem that belief is a prerequisite for this blasphemy, by virtue of one acknowledging that it IS the Holy Spirit 'calling', correct? Possibly something along the lines of: 


*metaphorical phone rings* 

Hey! Is this Holy Spirit?

Yes, this is Holy Spirit. We need to talk.

Yeah...I figured it was you. Well, I don't feel like talking. 
Do me a favor. Lose this number...got it?

*hangs up*

It doesn't seem as though an atheist (by definition, at least) would be capable of committing this offense. A God-denier, certainly, but not a non-believer. I asked, because I happened to be wondering about atheists who participate in so-called blasphemy challenges. I'm not sure what would compel an atheist to blaspheme a God he/she doesn't believe in, other than a misunderstanding/misinterpretation of what the word means (in the Biblical context).

And/or a general penchant for cage-rattling, perhaps. 

'Cause let's face it; That's always a blast. 
Am I right?

I'm not in a position to make any final judgement on what you are or not capable of. Ultimately that is between you and God.

I can tell you what I think. If you grew up in the west, God has called out to you.. Call it a conscience, call it your moral compass call it Jimminnie Cricket it does not matter. but we all have been given an opportunity to want to know or experience more concerning God. Especially each and every member of this forum. (Just on your specific terms and not His) You all are searching for a truth that fits the little box in which you believe the whole universe must yield and work with in. (the box labeled acceptable peer reviewed proof.)

Which was the SAME BOX The Pharisees in Mark 3:20 used to cast out the works of the Spirit that day. They too wanted peer reviewed and accepted proof, before they would acknowledge God. The problem with this version of 'proof'? it gives you control over God. Rather than forces you to acknowledge God on His terms... God must contort Himself to fit your definitions, rather than you be made to seek out His own.

Look at how the last poster I responded to has framed out who God is in her straw man argument. She expects God to be all loving, not just all loving but to her own specific definition of love that includes those she would include. In essence she would dispel any proof of a God who did not conform Himself to her standard... Do you see the problem here? If God must bend to your standard then He ceases to fit the very definition of God (Alpha and Omega) He provided to us!

IF God is Alpha and Omega It means we go to Him on His terms, He will not meet us on ours.

I feel like you're saying that the Holy Spirit has already called to the non-believing members of this forum, in which case we've already committed this Holy Spirit blasphemy.

Well, Hell, what's the point, then? 
Why bother explaining anything to folks that are most certainly doomed, in your opinion?

No point in wasting your energy on what you believe to be lost causes.
