"There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going. The danger must be growing for the rowers keep on rowing, And they're certainly not showing any signs of slowing!" Willy Wonka

This blog is represents the thinking of a few individuals interested in having their ideas heard.
This is a great idea Mel. We'll see where it goes and how it gets there. Thanks.
Will it be bumpy? Will it be thought provoking? Inspiring? Insightful? Funny? Welcoming, Helpful? Challenging?
Maybe even extraordinarily liberating for the reader and the writer? Who knows? No, really, who knowsout there in cyberville aka the world? Maybe they should write something here too.
From an earlier conversation we had about forgivness. You asked if there was anything that is not forgiven. We discussed suicide, mastubation etc. Yes it is all forgiven. Only one thing isn't, the Bible calls it the unpardonable sin, what is it? Unbelief of course. If you don't believe, then to you forgivness does not exist. You will then recieve none. This is not God's desire but yours. God's desire is to forgive and accept you. He does not interfere with your will. He is not after robots but love from a genuine and free heart. Unbelief is a tricky thing, it is actually belief, but in something else which is contrary to God. If you believe whatever that is, you can't believe in Him. So that is a problem, stumbling block if you will, that prevents those who do that from believing and ultimatly from being forgiven. The Old Testament mentions this dilemma. In Psalms 118:22-23 it says, The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
