![]() But woe to the man who would attempt to construct electrical apparatus according to my specifications! If I were possessed of sufficient natural ability, I might be able to make the book interesting from the very fact that it would be ludicrous enough to be entertaining. That book, if ever completed, would be a fanciful tale indeed. Briefly, I am grossly ignorant concerning electrical science.īut now, just suppose I took it into my head to write a book on electrical engineering. The extent of my knowledge of it is just about comprehended in three statements: namely, it bites, to press a button turns on a light, and if the lights go off, one can usually remedy the situation by inserting a new fuse in the proper receptacle, or switching the circuit breaker. I know very little concerning electricity. The Word, to them, is a sealed book.Īnyone who attempts to explain that which he does not understand can accomplish but one result: the complete and glaring display of his own ignorance. Therefore the masses flit hither, thither, and yon, never taking the trouble to scratch below the surface, knowing neither what they say nor whereof they affirm. The cost is too great for all but a very small and inconspicuous remnant. And it also requires a complete sell-out to God to come to the place where the Lord will open one's mind to grasp the real truth. Of the few who do know how, not one in a thousand ever takes the trouble to dig down to rock bottom and consider all the facts. Men are so irresponsible, especially preachers. With the aid of the anointing we need to weed out the errors and empty imaginings of men. We need to search the scriptures prayerfully and reverently, on bended knee beseeching the blessed Holy Spirit of truth for illumination and understanding. Men are so prone to blindly accept any error in either translation or interpretation, even though many other plain statements of the Word of God affirm the exact opposite. What is the unpardonable sin? Is there anyone reading these lines who has committed it, or might be in danger of committing it? The confusion on this subject is due largely to a failure to harmonize all scriptures. In fact, at one time I was seized with the terrifying fear that I had committed the unpardonable sin! I was just a boy at the time I heard these frightening words, and it made a profound impression on me. ![]() The scriptures are there, the sin does exist, and it could just conceivably strike you!" Oh, when you reject the love of Jesus and resist the wooing of the Holy Spirit you move ever closer to the possibility that you may commit such a horrendous sin. Who would commit such a dreadful sin, subject themselves to such an appalling fate - to lose all hope of forgiveness and salvation, to suffer for ever the damnation of hellfire? This, my friends, is the fate that is worse than death itself. 'Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith so ever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation' (Mk. "Did you know there is a sin so great, so devastating in its awfulness, that even the great mercy of God cannot overlook it, and the shed blood of Jesus Christ cannot wash it away? A sin that can never be forgiven - an unpardonable sin! Jesus warned that it could happen. With eyes riveted upon his hearers he urged the question with utmost solemnity, ![]() The evangelist stood with both arms raised, giving emphasis to his impassioned plea.
