As a former atheist, I denied the existence of God, and, at one point, argued that Satan must be stronger than God.

This is a self obvious truth.... if the witness of God Himself is not enough and Godbeing the greatest of all then what would remain to convince you?

It has to do with the hardness of your heart against God. If you are worried about this it is unlikely that your heart is so hardened that you have committed the unpardonable sin.

I suspect that your concern for the unpardonable sin indicates that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn't care one little bit. Come in here often and you will soon discover that Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus, not just a faith. Hope to see you in many topics.

Welcome to Worthy 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1 Timothy 12-16 Friend,the Apostle Paul is saying that you are really not held accountable for the things you did & said before coming to Christ Jesus,He came while we were still sinners,for the sinner,& we all fall short of the Glory of God,,,,,,,,,,,Paul describes himself as the very worst of sinners & is testifying of these things so that everyone will know that if God could forgive him & extend His Grace & Mercy to him ,then anyone can be forgiven........Salvation is available to anyone that comes to the foot of the cross asking & believing ............................Grace is unmerited ,it is undeserved,it is a gift & it is yours for the taking......................you were blind,you were deaf,you were stumbling around in the darkness,,,,,,ask Jesus for forgiveness & come into His light ,let Him show you Who He is,,,the Way,the Truth & the Life ........................God Bless you With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
