For God Created us in His own image (Gen.1-27). To me this is the BEST thing God did for all of us. He showed us His unending Love through Creation, and Crowned it with giving His ONLY Beloved Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to give us Salvation. If Man has decided to live in Darkness, but not in the Light of God because of their selfish ambitions and egoism for the love of earthly things, that is their decision. Earthly things are good. Do not quote me wrong! It is what you do with it that matters! Are you giving back grumbling or counting? Are you an Ananias and Sapphira in the Bible? Acts 5:1-10. Nothing on earth belongs to us. We are all caretakers! All belongs to Him (Haggai 2:8; Psalm 50:10).
In short, we deceive ourselves when the "truth" is no more in us (1John1 :8).
Some have chosen to continue walking in Darkness, and have refused to receive God's Light into their souls(1John1:6).
The sins of the flesh is a "taking many souls into Hell." Man is adoring" money, cults, slandering, lies and sex," than turning their lives to God. For that reason, many are finding themselves into Hell. When you commit sins knowingly, it is a sacrilege! THIS PAGE: The Unforgivable Sin? —God's principles of forgiveness Forgiveness a new start Some folk believe in an "unforgivable" or "unpardonable" sin. Consequently, they may worry that they have committed this sin, and that God refuses to forgive them. Where do people get the idea that there is an "unforgivable" sin?
The Unforgivable sin
1 Scriptures Used to Support the Idea of an Unforgivable Sin - "...an eternal sin... will never be forgiven." (Mrk 3:27-30)
- "...impossible to renew them to repentance." (Heb 6:4-8)
- "...there remains no more sacrifice for sins." (Heb 10:26-31)
- "...a sin unto death." (1Jn 5:16-17)
- "...conscience seared with a hot iron." (1Tim 4:1-2)
2 Difference Between Unforgivable and Unforgiven In no Bible passage can we find the terms "unforgivable sin" or "unpardonable sin". There is a vast difference between a sin that is "unforgivable" (as some say) and a sin that is "unforgiven" (as the scriptures say). When one speaks of an "unforgivable" or "unpardonable" sin one is not speaking as the scriptures speak. Illustrations( Using Psychology and Christianity).
The Unloved Orphan Boy: Suppose you saw a documentary about the sad life of a forlorn little boy, an orphan from birth in a war-torn, disease-ridden village. The commentator describes the poor little chap as "unloved." Would you think he meant that the boy is unlovable? There's a lot of difference between "unloved" and "unlovable", isn't there? Even if the commentator said, the boy "will never be loved", you'd still not think the boy was unlovable, would you?. Death might claim the little boy before a merciful person can rescue him. He was loveable, yet was never loved. The Unused Hammer: Suppose I had just purchased a new hammer at the ironmongers. I could say my new hammer is unused. But I certainly would not mean it was unusable, would I? There's a lot of difference, isn't there, between "unused" and "unusable". It is even possible for the hammer to never be used, yet still be usable. The Unforgiven Sin Jesus spoke of sin that is "unforgiven" and "never forgiven". He did not say it was "unforgivable". Just as we do not assume that an unloved boy is unlovable, or an unused tool is unusable, so we should not say that an unforgiven sin is unforgivable. When Jesus calls a sin unforgiven, even when he says it will never be forgiven, let us not put words into his mouth and call the sin unforgivable. 3 Conditions Preventing Forgiveness: If a sin is unforgiven, there are conditions preventing its forgiveness. No sin is unpardonable when the barrier to forgiveness is removed. God never puts up a barrier to forgiveness, but (we)sinners often do. Each of the passages mentioned at the beginning of this article show that the problem is not in God's heart, or in the nature of the sin itself, but lies with the sinner's own heart and will.
Not Binding the Strong Man (Mark 3:27-30) To understand the meaning of verses 28 and 29, we need to think about the parable of the strong man in verse 27. To plunder strong man's house you first have to bind the strong man. Jesus had plundered the house of Satan when he cast out demons. He did this not by unleashing Satan's power as he was accused of doing, but rather by binding Satan and rendering him powerless. Jesus also plunders the house of Satan when he forgives sins. But he can do this only if he first binds Satan. If something should prevent Christ from binding Satan, then he cannot plunder Satan's house, he cannot forgive sin. What we have to discover, is what prevents Christ from binding the strong man?
Unwillingness to repent (Heb 6:4-8) There's one thing we know for certain about the conditions that prevent forgiveness of sin. There is an unwillingness to repent, and a determination to go on sinning. No contrite person, who approaches God in penitence and humility, is ever refused forgiveness. But the person of stubborn will, who refuses to yield to God and ask forgiveness —that person's sin is not forgiven. Some people are so bent on evil that it is impossible to persuade them to repent. For them Satan cannot be bound and his house cannot be plundered of their sins. What prevents forgiveness is the sinner's determination to be a soil that brings forth thorns and briars instead of useful herbs. Sin is unforgiven because the sinner won't repent. If you know that committing fornication or adultery, slandering, or telling lies is wrong, and you keep doing it without remorse; do you think that sin will be forgiving? Are you living in Darkness or in the Light of God? God is Light! There is no friendship with Darkness and Light.
1John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
Going on sinning willfully (Heb 10:26-31) The condition we have been talking about is clarified in the words, "If we go on sinning willfully..." Whether or not a sin is forgiven depends upon a decision we make, namely whether to continue in it or turn away from it. Everything else is in place. Christ has made forgiveness possible. However, people who know the truth and willfully go against it, are trampling underfoot the blood that was shed for them —instead of appealing to that blood or seeking its cleansing power. That's why sin remains unforgiven. God never refuses forgiveness to those who wish to wash their robes white in the blood of the Lamb (Rev 7:14).
Sinning unto death (1John 5:16-17) When John speaks of "a sin unto death" he refers to what he wrote at the beginning of his letter that "if we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1Jn 1:7-9). A sin unto death is a sin which one refuses to acknowledge, confess, and seek forgiveness for. God never refuses forgiveness to those who try to walk in the light, who bring their sins to him in penitent confession.
The cauterized conscience (1Tim 4:1-2)St. Paul speaks of a "conscience seared with a hot iron." The conscience like that is beyond feeling. Its nerve endings have been killed and it is numb.(Do not laugh)! The sinner who tosses and turns through the night troubled by his sin, is not like that. He or she is not the sort of person whose sin is never forgiven. Rest assured that such a person, whatever their sin, may obey God and be forgiven.
The Lord revealed to me in a dream on Pentecost eve 2010: Heaven and Hell; and the great tribulations the world is going to go through! At first I had no idea of this dream. This is the first time, I am writing it publicly! Since then, I have had others.
Children of the Most High God: Change! Turn your lives to God. Forgive all those who have injured you. Pray for them, and leave the rest to God! My next writing will be on 2013!
God Bless and Protect you all. Elizabeth Morfaw N.

Question N°3. From Bara Lainso. When I die today, what happens? Do I wait "somewhere" until the last day, or I get judgement immediately and my eventual sanction... Heaven or Hell?. People, LET US MAKE THIS A DISCUSSION RATHER THAN A LECTURE. Who can attempt an answer? (4 photos)
