Hello Everyone, I Am Back

I have been following a very sad development on YouTube. For those who don’t know what YouTube is, it is a web site where anyone can post videos for others to see. A while ago, I found a video were a person was taking what they called the “Blasphemy Challenge”. This challenge is based on the scripture in Mark that talks about the only unpardonable sin, that of the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. As I looked into this challenge, I found that there were a lot of people denouncing Jesus and the Holy Spirit and I felt bad for these people and I wanted to try to do anything I could to help them to understand that God does exist and that he loves them. The only thing that I thought I could do is to reply to the numerous comments to these videos. In many causes, I felt that people were searching for an answer, but somewhere along the way they were misinformed or misguided. Here are some of the comments that I have been posting. I want to post them here in the hopes that they could possible answer questions for anyone that finds this page. Also, for any other believers out there, I would like to compel you to follow my lead and go to YouTube and discuss your faith. There are a lot of lost people out there who are searching for the meaning of their life and if you don’t help them, others will continue to misguide them.

Jesus lived, died, and rose again so that man, who is dead in his sin, can have eternal life. Everyone who believes in Jesus and accepts his gift of salvation will be saved. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the continual denial of this truth. If anyone creates one of these videos and a week or year later comes back to the saving knowledge of Christ, they will be saved and will not be a blasphemer of the Holy Spirit. I will pray for all of you who deny this true. May God be with you.

Say that there is someone that you truly love and you really wanted that person to love you. Would you want for force that person to your will? Say you were a millionaire, if you told that person that you love that you are a millionaire how would you know that that person truly loves you for you and not your money. God will not force his will on anyone and he will not do things to prove that he exists definitively because in a way that would force people to love him that otherwise wouldn't.

Many people believe that their salvation is based on their behavior and if they screw up they are damned. This isn't true. Jesus died for all sins, past, present, and future. To except this gift is all that needs to be done. God knows that we all continually sin. That is why animal sacrifice was not good enough and that is why he came and died for us to provided himself for a perpetual sacrifice to cover our sins.

Sin is responsible for all of the evil in the world. God knows the beginning from the end, but he is not the cause of it. He gave us free will and we have chosen to forget God and go our own way. This is the route of everything that goes wrong in the world.

How is the nucleus of an atom held together? Physics cannot explain it. What is at the edges of our universe and beyond? Nature doesn't know and we cannot comprehend it. God says that he holds everything together and that this hand spends the universe. When all cultures in the world were saying the earth is flat, the Bible talk about the circle of the earth and that it is hung upon nothing. The Bible is not a scientific book, but everywhere in the Bible that talks about science is infallible.

The fact that the bible has lasted thousand of years is a testament to its validity. It is not true that the bible has been manipulated. When they found the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, they found a complete book of Isaiah and it was carbon dated to be a thousand years old. It is the same as what’s in the Torah today. This original Hebrew is what the versions of the Bible are based on. Give me an example of a contradiction in the bible and I will explain to you why it isn’t.
