The Unforgivable Sin

I think the point is that by us "rejecting" or denying these people and issues we are denying Christ. Does He not say that which you do for the least of these you do also for me?

The Bible is clear the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Spirit. All other sin is forgivable but how much better if we strive to not sin in the first place, to be more like Jesus and be obedient to God.

Rob I have to agree, too many have missed the point of the message, yet again. It really has to do with being in a relationship with the Lord, not religion. Religion is what nailed Christ to the cross, relationship raised Him from the dead for our redemption.

Good message but is he not being presumptuous to make a point or message? How does he know what they use the tuition money for, as I am sure what he suggested is exactly what they do.It goes without saying, being that they are Christian.It truly shows that we make judgements and assumptions without truly knowing an organization or a group or culture."Let the one without sin cast the first stone" comes to mind and "take the speck out of your own eye, then you will be able to take the speck out of your brother's eye".

The unforgivable sin is rejecting the work of the Holy Spirit such as in Matthew 12 and Luke 12. Christians still need to speak truth and decent language, because Jesus said;. "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” ( Matthew 12:33-37). Christians are the best species when it comes with charity. I'm so sorry this young man did not get help from his Christian school; I got a lot of help from Christian schools and I saw so many sacrificial Christians there who inspired me for the lifetime. There are over 1,000 commands in NT and over 600 in OT. We must help the poor and also stay away from cursing, blaspheming, listening to evil toxic trashy music, and looking like gang members by getting tattoos. We cannot neglect any.

I may get pummeled here, but I don't agree with everything he says. While I do agree that we must show love, justice, mercy and faithfulness and help those in need (widows and orphans), I do not agree with the examples he gave from his personal life. He testified to being from a single-parent household on food stamps and federal housing and then goes on to say that he was in a private Christian school. How does a mother on food stamps and federal housing afford to send her kid to a school that requires tuition when there are free public schools. Why didn't she deny the hand out and pay for her own groceries and housing and put her son in public school instead? The school's responsibility is to educate, not to buy groceries for struggling families with the tuition money. That tuition money pays for the teacher's salaries and operation expenses. I totally understand the premise of helping, but his perspective is similar to the perspective of so many people in the USA....entitlements. No matter how bad his mother had it, she had it so, so much better than people in third world countries. As Christians we are called to help the widows and the orphans who are in a predicament not of their own doing. Helping those and feeding those that are in predicaments of their own doing is known as "enabling" which breeds the enabled.

We are so busy saying don't do this, don't say this, don't do that and we forget that Jesus was all about "do this, do that"-bring others to God, help the poor, the lonely, the sick, the starving - CHANGE THE WORLD! Jesus wasn't negative, he was positive. And we should be positive, too. Positive that we can change the world, love the people in it, and help without hurting. I hope I focus on the positive and good things I see and hear and forget the bad - it's my goal, anyway. Blessings to all.

Mark Vilen I like some of what he says, such as looking at some sin over others, sins of commission but overlooking sins of omission. But when he talks about how we'll be judged, he implies we'll be punished. If he's referring to the Judgment Seat of Christ for believers, that's not a punitive time. If it were, God would be committing 'Double Jeopardy,' to coin a legal term. The cross already paid the penalty for all sins (past, present and future). Any fleshly sins, even 'good works' that are fleshly, will be burned out of us at the Judgment Seat. We won't be punished for them, as our sins have already been dealt with. His talk needs to clarify this, unless he really believes in punishment for believers, which I don't believe is biblical.

the verse he was talking about in Matthew 25 is about the Jews, isn't it?

Amen Brother.

if anything you hear makes you feel condemned, I don't believe it is of the spirit. we are all called to different areas in the world. that is why we are to listen to the leading of the spirit. I use to whip out my checkbook and write a check for everything that came through our church. my mentor one day said: how do you know you're suppose to? I knew she was right. I never took any time. the word tells us: let us reason together. we are individuals that jesus speaks to by his spirit. we are called to different ministries, and to meet different needs. let's not be led by our emotions, but by the spirit.

It was amazing, truly amazing that this was put before me today. My struggles today were lightened as soon as I chose to love like Christ!

There should be another name for this video.Not the Unforgivable sin, people believe what they read, listen to & hear & when you are telling them this is an unforgivable sin you are sending the wrong message. If Gary missed the point of this video then I have just made my point. Please rename this video.You have a great message it is just named wrong. God Bless you! Laura

I myself have a life in Christ that has been taught this same way of life by the Holy Spirit.Jesus walked it and he sent the Holy Spirit to teach us the way to live as a Christian.How many times have we felt that nudge to do something selfless of our self like any of our talents or our time or our money.Thease testing of our faith will produce God's fruit in us.We all should be sensitive to the Holy Spirit teaching us in our own personal gifts and talents of how we can help and love the world. I love the song Jesus friend of Sinners.We have to show the love of the Holy Spirit to the world it is only by the Holy Spirit that will draw the sinners to Christ.

What stood out to me were his points that we neglect the bigger issues, and that we need to love God, love others, and serve people. I agree that when we realize what Jesus did for us on the cross, and that He loves us despite our sin-"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom. 5:8), then we can, with the power of the Holy Spirit, love others, which is demonstrated by helping the poor, sick, homeless, providing meals, friendship, etc. --joyfully!

that's right, bro!
