  • PER122 Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

    This article explores blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, an unforgivable offense discussed in the Gospels. Attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to an unclean spirit crosses a boundary beyond forgiveness. The crucial role of the Holy Spirit in forgiveness and conversion is emphasized. The article broadens the discussion to consider the possibility of such a sin in the contemporary context.

    Mark 3.28-30 (King James Version) :
    Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

From the 3rd Passover to the start of the final week

  • PER201 Offenses and occasions for stumbling

    Pericope PER201 presents Jesus' private teaching in Capernaum on offenses and occasions for stumbling. He distinguishes two cases: those who cause new converts to stumble, and Christians confronted with their own weaknesses. Through radical bodily metaphors, Jesus calls us to eliminate everything that leads to sin, stressing that life in the kingdom of God is worth any sacrifice. Matthew, Mark and Luke report this teaching with complementary nuances.

    Matthew 18.7-9 (King James Version) :
    Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

  • PDA003 Reconciliation

    The article stresses the universal need for reconciliation with God because of sin, according to Paul’s writings. Despite the indifference of many, the violation of God’s law brings about a spiritual separation. Through Jesus, reconciliation is possible, avoiding eternal hell. Everyone will have to answer for their choices before God.

    2 Corinthians 5.20 (King James Version) :
    Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

  • PDA011 Is God Unjust?

    The article discusses the idea that God might be unjust in allowing suffering and injustice in the world, but concludes that this condition results from human sin. It invites repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation.

    Luke 13.1-5 (King James Version) :
    There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
