Sovereignty and Providence by Tony Evans

- Giving Up Control –

By Tony Evans

Sometimes it seems as if our culture is obsessed with control. We control the temperatures in our home to the very degree, and now many of us can even do that from our smartphones. We control our schedules while using daily planners or apps. We even control our time with God, giving Him five minutes in the morning or fifteen minutes at lunch. We seek to control our health, environment and even, at times, those around us.

Our desire to keep things “under control” helps to improve a number of things in our lives and surroundings. But it can also hinder us from living in the spirit of surrender that a life under God’s overarching control requires.

Admittedly, not everyone feels the need to control all things at all times. Some people are more flexible than others. But within most of us is a desire to, at least, control the important areas of our lives such as health, safety and provision. This stems from our need for security as human beings.

Providence references how God controls the spinning wheel of history behind the scenes. It is actually a subset of sovereignty. In other words, one way God achieves His sovereignty is by His providence. The providence of God is the miraculous and mysterious ways in which He intersects and interconnects things in order to bring about His sovereignty.

God’s sovereignty is what He wants to happen. God’s providence is where He sets things up and connects them so that His sovereignty does happen.

Where we often misunderstand things is in the area of providence. This is because without a full awareness of where things are headed (sovereignty), we might wonder about the providential choices of God along the way. There are times when God will even cause, or allow, things to happen that seemingly appear to be in contradiction to what He wants.

For God to achieve His ultimate sovereign purposes, He will at times providentially allow things to take place that are outside of His preferences. This is because in His sovereignty, God will allow things He does not prefer in order to accomplish His ultimate plan. It is only when you understand the link between providence and sovereignty that you will become conscious of God’s fingerprints in the midst of His “apparent” absence. He will often only leave behind fingerprints that show up when dusted.

We don’t always get to see how God weaves and twists and tweaks things to take us to our intended destination and purpose. He operates behind the scenes, pulling the strings and setting the stage in ways that sometimes confuse, frustrate and confound us. But also in ways that produce the greatest outcome and result.

Grace and Repentance

Grace and Repentance

Grace = The free and undeserved love and favor of GOD toward man as a sinner.¹

Repentance = In its spiritual sense denotes a sense of guilt, an apprehension of GOD’s mercy, sorrow for sin, and a turning away from it unto GOD. The Greek word denotes a change of mind, and is equivalent to conversion.¹

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s there was a term in the Church called sloppy Agape it referred to those who used grace as an excuse for not repenting. It went something like this, I’m saved by grace through faith in Christ, so if I sin all I have to do is ask for forgiveness. The mind set being a misconception of Paul’s teaching in Romans 7:15-16, “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I want to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. Romans 7:15-20 NKJV The incorrect mindset is that I am not responsible for my habitual sins because I have no control over them, so when I give in to sin all I have to do is ask for forgiveness. The problem with this concept is that Jesus and the Apostles taught repentance, not asking for forgiveness. Repentance as defined above means that I apprehend (understand and take to heart) GOD’s mercy to forgive my sins when I surrender my life to Jesus and receive salvation because I am sorry for being a sinner; therefore I turn my back on my sinful lifestyle; because GOD has made me a new person in Christ Jesus.

Jesus and the Apostles all teach this concept of being a Christian.

Jesus: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV

Paul: “Now the LORD is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the LORD.” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 NKJV

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I main gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from GOD by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:7-11 NKJV

James: “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life which the LORD has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am tempted by GOD’; for GOD cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death². Do not be deceive, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. So then my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of GOD. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”  James 1:12-22

Peter: “But also for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-11 NKJV

John: “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of GOD was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever is born of GOD does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of GOD.” 1 John 3:4-9 NKJV

Are You a CHRISTian or a Christian?

Are you a CHRISTian or are you a Christian?

Do you not know or understand the agenda of the ultra liberals? Do you not know or understand what they stand for?

Most Christians and non-Christians know and many understand the political situation based on the differences between the liberal and conservative agendas. But what is happening in our country is a lot bigger than the political situation.

The liberals are not just upset that their darling Clinton did not win the Presidency so they are opposing everything that President Trump does and wants to do. That is the cover to keep most people in the dark about their real intentions. What are their real intentions? This will upset a lot of people even some liberals!

They want a one world government! The real agenda is to make America so weak that when the anti-Christ becomes the world leader (one world government) that our president will have to yield their authority to it. The ultra liberals are elitists and they believe that under the one world government they will have power and riches and rule over the masses of Americans who will become their work force and servants.

How do I say this? Look at what they believe and support: abortion, now even to the birth date of the baby! Why? It is profitable, they get paid by insurance and governments to kill babies; then they sell the parts and organs for more money. They support and practice every imaginable sexual perversion and make everyone else except it as normal; not only except it but we must approve of it and tell them they are normal. They say they care about the poor but for the majority they do not help them get a better education, job or other opportunities to improve their lives; what they do is break up their families and make them dependent on government handouts. Very few of the poor get an actual opportunity to improve their life through the government programs that the liberals are so proud to sponsor and pay for with the taxes of the middle class.

If you believe you are a CHRISTian but support the things that the liberals want and do then you are not! Study what Jesus said in the Gospels! If you do not believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of GOD than you are not a CHRISTian! Christianity has become a religion and like all religions it is based on how good you can be at it. CHRISTianity is based on a personal relationship with GOD! You can claim to be a born again, blood washed, Spirit filled Christian and go to hell, study Matthew 7:21-23 and 25:31-46; remember Jesus said many are called but few are chosen; He said the way to His Kingdom is narrow and many search for it but few find it. Jesus repeatedly said for those who had ears to hear, to hear! Hear what? Hear His commandments, Jesus said if we loved Him (relationship) that we would keep His commandments which are to love GOD with all our heart, mind, soul and body and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, to pray for those who cheat you, to give to the poor, to forgive those who mistreat you, to repent of our wrong doings and to love all CHRISTians. He told us to do the works of GOD’s Kingdom in the earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus taught us to pray and praise GOD continually and to give Him thanks in everything.  Jesus taught us that we should rejoice when we are persecuted because we will be persecuted if we are serving Him.

Christianity is about going to church, giving money, and being blessed. CHRISTianity is about being the children of GOD who are doing the work of His Kingdom no matter the cost.

What are you praying for the Church and for America?

Are you praying for blessings or grace? Blessings are what we want; we want to be comfortable, happy, satisfied, successful, etc. GOD called us to do His will in the earth as it is in Heaven, the first CHRISTians lived hard lives being persecuted as they obeyed Christ’s command to take the gospel to all the nations. That command is not completed or rescinded! We are not called to live easy, comfortable Christian lives until Jesus returns to take us to Heaven. We are called to live faithful obedient Spirit led lives until we are done.

Why are things not going well in the Church in America and in America as a nation? Because we are praying for blessings and we should be praying for grace! Grace to go through the process of being made in the image of Christ! Grace to learn and live the Word of GOD so that we can be light and salt everywhere we are. Grace to repent of our sins personally, as a family, as an assembly of believers, as communities and as a nation. Grace to stand in the liberty where Christ has made us free, to stand against the gates of hell, to resist the devil! Grace for the trials, testing and tribulations that come to all who love GOD and serve Him. Grace for the spiritual warfare of GOD’s Kingdom; because His enemy the devil hates us. If you are not in spiritual warfare you may be headed for hell, the devil does not care about those who are already deceived or demented and damned eternally.

We think of GOD as being our loving Father, which He is; we think of Him as the one who gives us everything we need, which He does; we think of Him as the one who will never leave us and will always protect us, which He does; we think of GOD as loving, kind and benevolent, which He is; but we forget that He is Righteous, Just, Awesome, Holy, Magnificent and Fearsome, that He is the creator and sustainer of everything that exists and that we will everyone stand before Him to be judged at some point; we forget that He is the only one who can destroy us both body and soul (study Matthew 10 and Luke 12).

GOD is more than we can comprehend and at times we become more familiar and informal with Him then we should. There are times that we should be on our knees or on our face before Him in awestruck fear and wonder at who He is! His very presence can destroy us. Yet throughout the Bible He reminds us that He loves us and has great plans for our lives.

If you want to see both the Church in America and America the nation delivered from its sin and healed from its divisions then you have to start praying for that: “LORD let Your light and truth shine into the heart of Your Church and our nation; let the liars, cheaters, stealers, those who lack integrity, those who are immoral and those who are opposed to Your will be exposed and brought to the place of repentance. LORD, we pray for grace for Your Church and this nation as we go through the process of repentance and transformation into the image of Christ. We pray that those who remain un-repentant be exposed and removed because You have raised up Your children who are ready to serve Your will in our nation as it is in Heaven.”

Eternity is Now!

Eternity is Now!

Eternity is now? Yes, eternity is now! We are born in a time constrained life and world so we see everything as past, present or future. When we are born again we are no longer part of the world and it’s time constraint; we are now part of GOD’s eternal Kingdom and time does not exist there. Everything is now! That is why the scripture says that Christ was crucified before the foundation of the earth was laid. That’s why 2000 years after the actual event of Christ’s crucifixion His Blood is still able to wash away the sins of people who believe and repent.

GOD created time for humanities sake not so that He could keep track of everything! We use time as a means of measuring history and our own lives; but GOD is eternal, He is omniscient, He is omnipresent and He is omnipotent. That means that He sees everything and knows everything and that He is all powerful or cannot be defeated. Time does not constrain GOD, GOD keeps time for our mortal sake. GOD is everywhere always and nothing is out of His control. Actually everything that exists, exists in Him, by Him, for Him and to Him.

Jesus said that those who the Father gives to Him were in the world but not of the world.  The world is time constrained, there is only so much time in the natural realm and then it will come to an end according to GOD’s plan and purpose. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of GOD that was crucified to take away the sins of humanity so that we could become the children of GOD, confesses that and does the work of the Father as Jesus did is born again. Born again means that we are no longer of the world but we are now of GOD’s eternal Kingdom, in the earth for now, as it is in Heaven. So we have to learn not to think of time as controlling our lives; time is not a constraint but a measuring devise; time is not revilent to our existence because we are no longer bound by the physical realm.

Jesus said, quoting the Torah that when GOD spoke to Moses at the burning bush that He identified Himself as the GOD of the living: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had died in the flesh but they were alive in the Spirit; the same happens to us when we are born again. Because of original sin we are born in mortal bodies that will die; but our spirit and soul are eternal, yet condemned to hell. Jesus came and took the punishment of humanity’s sin becoming sin for us even though He never sinned. When we understand the fact of what He did and by faith when we confess that we are a sinner condemned to eternal judgment and repent of our sinful lifestyle and ask the Father to forgive us by the Blood of Jesus; not only does GOD forgive our sins He makes us a new person, an eternal child of His eternal Kingdom by putting His Spirit in us to teach us the ways of His eternal Kingdom. We still live in our mortal body but with the knowledge that at some point we will have an eternal (glorified) body. When we are born again GOD puts His Spirit in us, this is not the baptism of the Holy Spirit; this is the seal of our salvation, the mark of GOD on our now eternal life.

Baptism of Water and Spirit

Baptism of Water and Spirit

When we are born again GOD puts His Spirit in us, this is not the baptism of the Holy Spirit; this is the seal of our salvation, the mark of GOD on our now eternal life.

Water baptism or the baptism of John is the baptism of death or repentance. In water baptism we are symbolizing our death to our old sinful life in Christ’s crucifixion and our resurrection to a new eternal life in Christ’s resurrection.

The baptism of Holy Spirit is not an infilling but a release of the authority and power of GOD to do the works of His eternal Kingdom in the earth as it is in Heaven. When we leave this physical body and receive our eternal body we will no longer need the Spirit of GOD living in us because, our spirit and soul will be fully mature.

Then we will enter into the eternal work of GOD’s eternal Kingdom that is beyond our current finite ability to understand.

Relationship with GOD

Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from GOD; and everyone who loves has GOD as his Father and knows GOD. Those who do not love do not know GOD; because GOD is love. Here is how GOD showed His love among us; GOD sent His only Son into the world, so that through Him we might have life. Here is what love is: not that we have loved GOD, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the kapparah (atonement) for our sins. 1 John 4:7-10 CJB (emphasis mine)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. He was with GOD in the beginning. All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing made has being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it…The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw His (Jesus) Sh’khinah (Divine presence), the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son full of grace and truth. John 1:1-5, 14 CJB (emphasis mine)

For I (Paul) want you to know how hard I work for you, for those in Laodicea, and for the rest of those who have not met me personally. My purpose is that they may be encouraged, that they may be joined together in love, and that they may have all the riches derived from being assured of understanding and fully knowing GOD’s secret truth, which is – the Messiah (savior)! It is in Him (Jesus) that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden…For in Him, bodily, lives the fullness of all that GOD is. And it is in union with Him that you have been made full – He is the head of every rule and authority. Colossians 2:1-3, 9-10 CJB (emphasis mine)

As I was reading 1 Corinthians 12 and 13 I thought about how GOD is love and that before anything was created in mankind’s existence GOD loved us. The proof is, Everyone living on the earth will worship it (the beast) except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered (crucified) before the world was founded. Those who have ears, let them hear! Revelation 13:8-9 CJB (emphasis mine)

Who are those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Those who believe in their heart and confess with their mouth and are filled with His Spirit (Holy Spirit) doing the work of the Father in the earth as it is in Heaven! Jesus, the Lamb of GOD was crucified before the foundation of the earth was laid so that humanity could be redeemed back to their Creator and GOD! GOD loves us so much, how can we not love Him in return?

Salvation is the free eternal gift from GOD! But it is not like a human gift, His gift of salvation is living and starts the moment we have enough trust (faith) in GOD to believe that Jesus is who the Bible says He is and except Him and His work of salvation. We believe and His Spirit enters into our life, our very being (we become His living temple in the earth) and we confess (tell others) about our salvation through Jesus Christ the Son of GOD. Holy Spirit reminds us of everything that Jesus said while He was in the flesh; He teaches us, disciplines us, guides us and marks us (seals) as heirs of GOD’s eternal Kingdom.

This is why CHRISTianity is not a religion, we have a relationship with the One, True and Living GOD! And it is an eternal relationship!

After Yeshua (Jesus) had said these things, He looked up toward heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You – just as You gave Him authority over all mankind, so that He might give eternal life to all those whom You have given Him. And eternal life is this: to know You, the One True GOD, and Him whom You sent; Yeshua the Messiah.” John 17:1-3 CJB (emphasis mine)

For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Messiah died on behalf of ungodly people. Now it is a rare event when someone gives up his life even for the sake of someone righteous, although for a truly good person one might have the courage to die. But GOD demonstrates His own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were still sinners. Therefore, since we have now come to be considered righteous by means of His bloody sacrificial death, how much more will we be delivered through Him from the anger of GOD’s judgment! For if we were reconciled with GOD through His Son’s death when we were enemies, how much more will we be delivered by His life, now that we are reconciled! And not only will we be delivered in the future, but we are boasting about GOD right now, because He has acted through our LORD Yeshua the Messiah, through whom we have already received that reconciliation. Romans 5:6-11 CJB

But you, you do not identify with your old nature but with the Spirit – provided the Spirit of GOD is living inside of you, for everyone who doesn’t have the Spirit of the Messiah doesn’t belong to Him. However, if the Messiah is in you, then, on the one hand, the body is dead because of sin; but, on the other hand, the Spirit is giving life because GOD considers you righteous. And if the Spirit that raised Yeshua from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised Yeshua the Messiah from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit living in you. Romans 8:9-11 CJB (emphasis mine)

Thank You Heavenly Father, that You knew that humanity would reject You and that in our sin we would be judged to eternal damnation; that You ordained that Jesus Christ would be born the Son of Man and live a sinless life overcoming every temptation that is common to mankind, that He would give His life as a living sacrifice for humanity so that we can be delivered from Your righteous judgment and given eternal life through Jesus in Your eternal Kingdom. Amen!

Blaspheme of The Holy Spirit

Blaspheme of The Holy Spirit

For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. He did not send His son into the world to condemn the world but the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17 My version

For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues towards deliverance. For the quoted passage says that everyone who rests his trust on Him will not be humiliated. That means there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – ADONAI is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on Him, since everyone who calls on the name of ADONAI will be delivered. Romans 10:10-13 CJB

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask; and GOD will give him life for those whose sinning does not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. 1 John 5:16-17 CJB

The Spirit expressly states that in the acharit-hayamim (the end of the days) some people will apostatize from the faith by paying attention to deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come from the hypocrisy of liars whose own consciences have been burned, as if with a red-hot branding iron. They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods which GOD created to be eaten with thanksgiving by those who have come to trust and to know the truth. For everything created by GOD is good, and nothing received with thanksgiving needs to be rejected, because the word of GOD and prayer make it holy. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 CJB (emphasis mine)

Moreover, Hanokh (Enoch), in the seventh generation starting with Adam, also prophesied about these men, saying, “Look! ADONAI came with myriads of holy ones to execute judgment against everyone, that is, to convict all the godless for their godless deeds which they had done in such a godless way, and for all the harsh words these godless sinners have spoken against Him.”…They (Apostles) told you, “During the acharit-hayamim there will be scoffers following their own godless passions.” These are the people who cause divisions. They are controlled by their impulses, because they don’t have the Spirit…Rebuke some who are disputing; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and to yet others, show mercy, but with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their vices. Jude :14-15, 18-19, 22-23 CJB (emphasis mine)

Those who are not with Me are against Me, and those who do not gather with Me are scattering. Because of this I tell you that people will be forgiven any sin and blasphemy, but blaspheming the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. One can say anything against the Son of Man and be forgiven; but whoever keeps on speaking against the Ruach HaKodesh will never be forgiven, neither in the ‘olam hazeh (this age) nor in the ‘olam haba (age to come). Matthew 12:30-32 CJB (emphasis mine)

The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) said, “He has Ba’al-Zibbul in Him”, and “It is by the ruler of the demons that He expels the demons.”…“Yes I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; however, someone who blasphemes against the Ruach HaKodesh never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin.” For they had been saying, “He has an unclean spirit in Him.” Mark 3:22, 28-30 CJB (emphasis mine)

“My friends, I tell you don’t fear those who kill the body but then have nothing more they can do. I will show you whom to fear: fear Him who after killing you has authority to throw you into Gei-Hinnom (hell)!  Yes, I tell you, this is the One to fear!”…”Also, everyone who says something against the Son of Man will have it forgiven Him; but whoever has blasphemed the Ruach HaKodesh will not be forgiven.” Luke 12:4-5, 10 CJB (emphasis mine)

So it is clear that CHRISTians can sin, even if we are not supposed to, and there is forgiveness in repentance. But anyone, even CHRISTians, who blaspheme Holy Spirit will not be forgiven this sin. Why? Because Holy Spirit is very GOD living in the spirit of every born again believer; Paul reminds us that we are Temples of Holy Spirit.

Too many CHRISTians think of Holy Spirit as the third entity of the GODhead.  Holy Spirit is not the third anything, He is GOD living in His children. There is one GOD, one Father, one Spirit, one body, one baptism, one faith, it’s not three in one it is one as three, one GOD who is Father, Son and Spirit. Jesus said that we who believe would worship GOD in Spirit and truth, because GOD is Spirit and Truth; He is light, life and love. We are created in His image, we are each one a being of spirit, soul and body, we are not three entities we are one. Just as in the natural we are always a spirit, soul and body in one place; in the spiritual GOD is always Father, Son and Spirit everywhere at all times.

Do not denigrate or belittle Holy Spirit, He is GOD! He is GOD that dwells in every believer in Jesus Christ, always at all times. He is GOD! It is the combination of He is GOD and that He lives in every believer that makes blaspheming Him unforgivable. Every unbeliever and every believer who say that He is not real, that His gifts and works are of the devil or some false god will not be forgiven for that, as Jesus made clear in His teachings. I do not know if that means that a CHRISTian who blasphemes Holy Spirit will lose his salvation, but he will be judged in this age and the age to come. There is a sin unto death, all un-repented sin leads to death, but Jesus Jude and John are talking to believers about a sin unto death that they can commit. Study the New Testament and learn about Holy Spirit – GOD.
