Hi Folks,
I have a question about the Unforgivable sin - On this same fourm several Christians gave 6 different interpretations meaning no one really knows what the heck this sin is. However I have a bigger question here.
Essentially the way I read and understand it is that to speak evil of the Holy Spirit then you have comitted it.
Anyhow --- I was reading a passage here : 1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
This means that as we read above that all spirits are very alike and that further testing needs to be done to determaine weather its from God or not. E.g. Unclean and Clean Spirits are all types of the one Spiritual Form.
I know this can be considered borderline blasphemy but I used this point before when reasoning with myself. E.g. Both Spirits need to be very similar in order for us to have to test them. I would have thought they were so different they were not compatible but the scripture above says that further testing needs to be done.
What do you think?
