John15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

I know I have stated this From the Bible many times before, and yet…it still rings true. And this is about absolutely everything…Please note here…Everything! The Lord God IS the Creator! We humans simply use what HE provided for us. I wish that was the end of it. It ain’t!

We humans have such delicate egos that are hurt much too easily. We LIKE to think we are so very smart, so intelligent, so ingenious and forward thinking. The sad truth is this: we are given just so much of anything, and still it is more than enough to get us into trouble.

Now I know this is going to anger some people, and so it is with so many other Truths, like the Holy Word of God, the Bible. Yet this is like everything else we deal with on a daily basis; sometimes the Truth hurts. But…guess what? It’s a choice we make!

In the beginning, with Adam and Eve, we did not wear clothes or shoes. The Lord made things that would hurt our bodies…AFTER…they Sinned in the Garden of Eden and were cast out. So here we are today, with all our Fashions and with all our personal Prejudices. And we then scoff at others that do not have what we have. Opinions are like belly-buttons…everyone has one…right? Yet we ultimately know, we are all the same! Our delicate little egos want to always be better than someone else, never the same and, Horrors be known, never beneath someone else; am I correct?

Do you realize that in all the time that man has been on earth, man has never CREATED anything? Only God is capable of that.

Come on ya’ll…everyone knows that to “Carbon Date” anything is guess work at best. Some guy was sitting around and thinking to himself that the world had to take millions of years to ‘evolve.’ Therefore, HE searched for the most common element on earth and called it Carbon; and he believed that everything on earth began with carbon. Then looking at the earth, he put a date into a computer to that effect…by the millions of years. He looked around himself, and a few others began to agree with him. The question is, was he correct? What do you think?

Let’s back up for a moment. “Just enough information to get ourselves in Trouble.”

There it is, Carbon dating! Of course everyone has the ‘Choice’ to believe some ‘guy’, or to believe the Word of God…right? Guess which one most people are willing to believe? “Well…that ‘guy’ is really smart and all, ya know.” Someone says. “Heyyy…he’s right! I went to school!”

The ‘guy’ re-iterates, “Now I am better than anyone else, and you need to pay me a lot of money.” Next thing you know, others want to be his Friend and hopefully get a job like his and make big bucks. “We all will sit around and speculate big questions (we look smart), and we can teach others and make even more money. Stop and think of it; we’ll be famous!” Of course, we need to go about every day as if we have really important and big things that we are pondering, you know. We must look busy and important.”

And then someone points out the Bible. “Oh that’s a bunch of malarkey!” Of course, the ‘Guy’s’ Friends are supporting him. So now you have it all; here we are, so smart and smug about it. The question is, where did that intelligence truly come from? The Lord God…that’s where! The ‘Guys’ chose to mislead everyone. Except…if you ask them! Right?

Again, our sweet and delicate egos won’t allow us to admit to the Truth. That, my Friends, would destroy us. Right? One must give credit where credit is due. If the ‘Guys’ actually gave the Lord God the credit, where it really belongs, the ‘Guys’ would then be Liars.

You see, I am not intelligent. I simply read the Holy Word of God…in my Life…and I KNOW the Truth!

You see, in all of my Family, I am the only one with a Baccalaureate Degree. That means the Lord God gave me enough smarts to learn from others and make good grades…that’s it! I was able to perform in a particular job, nothing more and nothing less. Yet I am like everyone else on earth…I am a human. I need Jesus Christ…I need to be saved from my own Sin…by HIS Blood from the Cross on Calvary. THAT, my Friends, is all I need to know. That will provide for me a Home in Heaven and not in Hell.

For lack of a better way to say it…There truly is nothing else…for any of us, than Jesus Christ. Again, give credit where credit is due…and that belongs solely to Jesus Christ!

As the verse says above, “Without Jesus Christ…you and I can’t do anything!” Who do you think provides the next Heartbeat or the next Breath of air? The lack of either means we die. The end of little ol’ me! The reason humans are on earth in the first place is to follow Jesus Christ. That’s it…that’s all there is! Everything else, and I mean everything else…stays right here on earth.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Yes, I know; I use these verses over and over again. The question is WHY? Do you ever wonder how many people go through their entire lives and never once give these verses a single thought? The Bible tells us that the answer is…Far Too Many…The Majority of Humans. “Well…I am so busy…I’ll think about it some other time.” Really? So…what if you’re in an auto accident before you think about it? Why should the Lord God give you more time here on earth when you won’t give HIM a single thought, for one small moment? Give me a good reason the Lord God should save you to Heaven?

Those two verses are some really serious stuff to consider! Fail to consider them and you will definitely find yourself In Hell and then the Lake of Fire for all of Eternity. That is total destruction!

Here’s another verse of the like: Matthew 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.“

The Lord is telling you that HE Loves you! HE wants to make your life easy and wonderful; HE wants to give you life for Eternity. How is that a bad thing? How does anyone in their right mind turn their back on that? Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; therefore, you know what is right and what is wrong. Why would anyone choose to do wrong or evil things? Does this make sense to you?

Psalms 90:10 “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; (60 + 10 years) and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.“

Did you get that? 70 years! Now compare that to Eternity. Or better yet, the distance from the East to the West. That 70-80 years is wayyyyy too short…Life is wayyyy too short! Yet it is more than enough time to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior…and be assured of a Home in Heaven with HIM. I don’t know about you, but that seems pretty basic to me, and one very easy choice to make.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“

The Unpardonable Sin 

Today, in this article, I wish to be sober of mind and Spirit. I want to expound the Holy Word of God, as best I know how, and with the Will of The Lord God…it will be so. This is an article that I have been working on for a very long time, because…for a great many, it will be difficult to understand. It took some real investigation, some Prayer and thought, for me to truly understand it. If there is one thing that everyone needs to know, this passage is it; it is the answer.

Matthew 12:30-32 “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.”

First of all, we must understand “Who is the Holy Spirit?” The “Holy Spirit” is the third part of the Trinity…God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. These are the “Three Personages of God.” We must understand that all of these are God. God is the Creator of absolutely everything; nothing happens unless God allows it…nothing!

The first role of the Holy Spirit is to convict…you and I…of our Sin. Please know that God created you and I to become HIS Children. Please know, that our Sin is what stands between God and you and I. If we do not ask for God to forgive us of our Sin, we will never see Heaven or God. This True Act of Love by the Holy Spirit IS what saves us from Eternal Damnation, through the Blood of Jesus Christ.

It is the “Conviction” by the Holy Spirit that brings us to a knowledge of our Sin. And then it is the heart-felt desire of the Individual to be forgiven of our Sin. As an Individual, I fall on my knees, knowing I am a sinner; and I ask the Lord God to forgive me of my Sin. It is most odd, in a way, that every single person to have ever lived on earth…KNOWS when they Sin. There is no denying it! It is odd to also note, the Holy Spirit “Convicts” us, where as your enemy Satan “Condemns” us of Sin.

To be “Convicted” is to have knowledge that I Sin. That is the first step to Salvation through Jesus Christ. Satan “Condemns” us for our Sin; he wants you and I to be sentenced to Hell for Eternity, right now! How odd is it, that Satan and his ilk inspire humans to commit Sin, yet he wants you and I to be destroyed Immediately for that Sin. Don’t you understand? Satan and his ilk…HATE YOU. They HATE YOU because the Lord God LOVES YOU.

You and I were created in the image of God, and Satan and his ilk hate everything there is to hate… about God! And so now we think, God created Satan and all his followers, and this is how they repay HIM? Knowing this…is there any wonder left of why the world is the way it is? Please, my Friends… Ponder this aspect for a little while. This is “Proof Positive” that the world, as a majority, follows Satan and his ilk!

I know some of you will remember me talking about the “Zombies on the Highway to destruction.” They are “Dumb-downed” people shuffling along that huge highway to destruction, simply because they will not heed the “Conviction of the Holy Spirit!” Satan and his ilk have closed the ears and the minds of all of them to the Holy Spirit. That single action is the “Unpardonable Sin” by Satan and his ilk – to Blaspheme the Holy Spirit! To deny the Will of God the Father! To deny the Blood of Jesus Christ! To deny Salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ from HIS Cross on Calvary! In short words…to deny Salvation!

It must be understood, we know when we Sin. We know when we are working against the Lord God. Yet the worst we could ever do is to turn our Back on the Salvation through Jesus Christ…GOD. Again…that is the “Unpardonable Sin!”

Jesus Said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

How wonderful an offer, despite our Sin. The Lord God created us and Loves us more than you or I could ever know, and HE wants us to “LIVE in Heaven” with HIM…for Forever! As I see it, I would rather deal with the “Conviction by the Holy Spirit”…than to “know I am condemned to die forever” with the likes of Satan and his ilk!

We never think to consider, “Why would we want to follow Satan and his ilk…when they HATE US unto Eternity”? Is it not true, all of us want to be Loved and Cared for? Do you want there to be an end to that? Of course not! Yet we all know a day is coming when the Lord God is going to send the majority of Humanity to Hell and then the Lake of Fire. Here’s is what is strange: all those that are going to Hell… asked to go there! They did so by denying Jesus Christ and HIS Blood covering their Sin! They turned their back on the Lord God!

We must keep in mind, Salvation through Jesus Christ…must be…sought after; in other words…we must Choose Salvation! We must listen to the Holy Spirit! We must ask for the Lord’s Forgiveness of our Sin! We must allow the Lord to change our lives to follow HIM! Again, it is our choice!

That, my Friends, is the answer to everything we want to know, or why we are here…Salvation through Jesus Christ. We must first understand, this life here on earth…is only the first Step that we take in our Eternal Journey. Yet where we end up going…is according to our choice while we live here. Once you die…it is already written in stone…it is a done deal!

You will never be “Good Enough” or “Prosperous Enough.” You can’t buy your way into Heaven. No Jesus…NO Heaven…..it’s that simple ya’ll!

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“
