For those of you who were in our little tour group yesterday, who do not know the Lord, nor what was said in the parable, I will try to catch you up? And then by this understanding, you may have a better chance of understanding what is to follow? But again, for you to truly understand it, and to understand the deeper meanings which are a part of it, to understand these things, you must become that dreaded of all titles, you must be a born again believer. Why is this so? Doesn't it make sense to you, that only family members understand what it is that goes on in that family? But first, you must accept that this is personal? Meaning, that it has a direct affect on your life too! Once you agree that it is personal, that is the first step to true understanding.
The significance of the trial, is that it is about the only thing that will cause God to turn his back on you. What is this sin that the Lord cannot forgive? Blasphemy. Now of blasphemy, there are two types. One is done out of ignorance, and our buddy Bill suffers from this one? And the second one, the one that is immediately deadly, is blasphemy in full knowledge, in other words, blasphemy by choice. But neither type of blasphemy will be tolerated by God, even for those who are totally ignorant of the precepts of God. Because for each one who is ignorant about the things of God, at some point they will all come to know and understand that they were in error, and from this knowledge, understand that they are blasphemers. Now once those who were ignorant of their offense come to understand what it is that they have done, they must repent of this most grievous of all sin! But, here comes free will again, because they now have a choice? They can choose to do, as they say today, and double down on their ignorance, at which point they are placed into the second type of blasphemy. And the penalty when guilty of blasphemy? The sentence is eternal death!
