Unforgiveness is no more the number 1 sin than say murder.  Sin is sin.  I think I know what you Pastor is getting at though.  Unforgiveness can lead to not being forgiven.  Undersood, and that is Bible.  However, it's not unpardonable, it can be reversed.  The unpardonable sin can NEVER be reversed.  There's a difference.

I agree with you, we were apparently misunderstanding each other.

I have attended my church for 4 years now and my Oneness questions came up because of a member of my church being upset that I used the word Trinity. They wouldn't explain why it upset them so I set out to search for myself....my pastor comes from an apostolic background (although my church is non denominational) so when searching the web for apostolic doctrine i found the term Oneness...I had never heard it before and I have been at my church for 4 years! I needed a deeper understanding of the difference.

The atheistic view made sense because it asks legitimate questions....questions to which I did not have answers. So, regardless of how much I felt I was not wrong in my belief in God, I'm interested in truth. So I set out to find answers. My answers led me to a stronger faith and deeper knowledge about God and His character. 

Thank you for having patience with me as well.

Okay, now I understand a bit more.  Your a smart girl, and you study.  I was raised trinity until my teens.  I studied it out myself because trinity was all I knew.  After studying it, I changed to a Oneness church myself over 30 years ago. 

This forum is good in a way that it makes us think, and delve into the Word to get answers.....and there's nothing wrong with that.  Take care and God bless sister.

   Great listening and compromising between sherna and annella - that's not always easy to do, even as Christians, is it?  I like what you both are saying.
My favorite:
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones."  (Proverbs 3:5-8)  These verses have really helped me to grow in the Lord and to watch myself and my attitude.  I've still a long, long way to go, though.

Absolutely my favorite also!   I'd forgotten about that one.

I needed that, thank you very much

Satan is all over this forum....In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you Satan.... 

Yes I agree.  I am a neebie to the forum and just crusin trying to get used to how everything works.  Though others may use the Bible inappropriately, we can use this forum as a vessel to show the light that dwells on  the inside of those of us that believe.  Jesus came to save the sick and the lost.  His desire is that not one of His sheep should perish.  Our job as believers is to occupy until He comes. 

How long have you been a part of the forum?  How do you go about getting referrals?  Are there any tips you can share with a newbie?  Thanks for your time.

Scriptures I came across today that I think are relevant to the frustrations that have been going back and forth on the forum regarding religion. A good scripture that references where our atheist friends at.

Ephesians 4:17-19 NIV (I added parentheses)
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you much no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.  They are darkened in the understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.  Having lost all sensitivity (to spiritual things), they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more

I didn't read every post but did we get the greatest commandment in here?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30+31

Oh , that's the one that's really good, and brings it all together.  Everything hinges on these 2 commandments actually.

HI, and welcome to Fusion Cash.  We were all newbies at one time and I'm really not that old.  There is a wealth of information on the home page if you play the tutorials.  OldBuddy  (who is still on here), explains the ins and outs of navigating around here.  They pretty much cover everything from beginning to cashing out and how to go about it.

Also, under the "Support" section of the forum here, there's "FLOREZITTA'S BEGINNERS GUIDE TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS".  I've gotten good information there, and she provides email addresses to where you need to go to actually put things into play.  

Good luck, and almost everybody here is helpful.  We want you to succeed and stick around.  My advice is to work at this everyday until you get familiar with it, then it will just be second nature.  The forums have a lot of advice from members what offers are good, etc.

Here's one for all our atheist friends.........

"I would rather live my life as if there is a god and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."
— Albert Camus

Just remember.....we are ALL going to face Him one day and give an account of our lives!!! I believe that day is coming VERY soon!!

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (King James Version)

 18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

 19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

 20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

 21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.


Definitely one of my favorites...

This sure doesn't encourage me to join the faith. Talk about the DARK SIDE OF THE BIBLE!
