Oh, but here's Luey's response (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egRv3cJhrII) to the Blasphemy Challenge.

There are many, many of these videos in response to The Blasphemy Challenge. Most of them are too filled with profanity to post; and some of them are so blasphemous that I just couldn't believe it. I won't post them here.

Now, many people can debate what blaspheming the Holy Ghost truly is. That's fine. I won't debate whether they are truly blaspheming the Holy Spirit or not. The point is, they THINK they are. I believe what is important here are these people's intentions. What did they intend to do? Well, they intended to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. If they didn't blaspheme by saying the things they said, they really did intend to. The point is, if they knew the exact words to say to commit that unpardonable sin, then they would have said it. Intentions are key here.

This disturbs me.

[InTheWind]

Doesn`t surprise me in these last days, if they only knew what they are saying.
Now God as if He needs it has vidio to play to them at the Great White Throne Judgement before the go to the lake of fire. :(

[CoreIssue]

No suprise.

Question is will they be suprised when they burn for it?

Right there with you, ITW.

[DaimyoMateo]

I think alot of them are doing this just to be rebellious which should be the concern. Those that have to real intentions are the ones that should not matter right? There are atheists in the world and here are some. Now there may be a portion of them that are only doing this to go against the grain sort of speak and those are the ones you want to help.

[CoreIssue]

Atheists have always been around.

The concern and issue, to me, is that society has sunk so low that this behavior is tolerated. There is no moral or social outcry, like there use to be.

[DaimyoMateo]

Yeah not as fanatical

[CoreIssue]

Yeah not as fanatical
Nope, not as structured and falling apart. Getting less and less safe to leave ones door.

[DaimyoMateo]

Bad people just want the good people to think that so they will stay indoors and not go out door to door handing out bibles.

[CoreIssue]

Bad people just want the good people to think that so they will stay indoors and not go out door to door handing out bibles.
Sarcasm, hmmm.

No, it isn't an issue of thinking anything. It is a reality.

Plus, there is no such thing as good or bad if each determines good and bad for themselves.

All is shades of grey. No absolutes.

Which is nonsense since there are absolutes.

[Jessie]

hum what happened?

[Jessie]

fliting in Gods face is'nt a laughing matter.

no fear of nothing but selfish to the max.

[DaimyoMateo]

Hello Jessie we are still around.

How are you doing?

[CoreIssue]

hum what happened?
You copied in some extra data. I deleted it and cleaned it up.

[Jessie]

Hello Jessie we are still around.

How are you doing?

:tiphat: doing good!

and thanks Core for straightening that up for me.

[InTheWind]

That happens when copy and pasting from Blue Letter Bible, never used to do that. I now select a different translation from there and it appears normal.

[Jessie]

will try that thanks ITW!

[CoreIssue]

Use the online Bible link in the side menu! You can do clean copies from there.

[DaimyoMateo]

What if someone just thinks it and not says it?

[CoreIssue]

What if someone just thinks it and not says it?
Thinks or even an unconscious permanent decision.

The idea is that if one comes to a state they will never listen they are doomed.

[DaimyoMateo]

I don't understand what you just wrote. I mean I am an atheist in the since that I don't prescribe to any particular theology. I
acknowledge my inability to fully understand the cosmos so I want to be very careful not to presuppose or fill in gaps and respect the unknown by allowing its existence. Therefore in my mind I already do not believe in Yaweh, Jesus as Christ, Devil, and I deny the existence of the Holy Ghost. Now this is what I think in my head but I have not uttered this with my voice. Does scripture make any difference between the two?

God isn't part of the Cosmos, to begin with.

And because you are here talking you have not made a decision yet. You still have doubts as to what you, in your core being, believe.

No. The scripture does not make a difference between thought and spoken word when it comes to ones nature. One reaches a conclusion usually before they voice it, verbally or mentally. Both are declarations of what one has already arrived to believe.

[DaimyoMateo]

I did not imply god was or was not the cosmos. I just said I don't fully understand the cosmos nor its purpose or origin.


"And because you are here talking you have not made a decision yet. You still have doubts as to what you, in your core being, believe".

yes this is true. I have not made any decision because it is beyond decision making.

[CoreIssue]

I did not imply god was or was not the cosmos. I just said I don't fully understand the cosmos nor its purpose or origin.
I didn't say or mean you did. I said God was not part, as in, the Cosmos, not part of, as the Cosmos being his body or anything like that.

So, it is two different issues. One, is there God and what does he expect of you and two, what is the Cosmos and what is its purpose.

Definitely interrelated but not the same issues.
