/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

If you are worried about being a reprobate, then you are not one. Those that blaspheme the Holy Spirit do not even think of it, due to such a hardened heart.

>>636679

>Reprobate?

That depends on you friend. You obviously came here /christian/ for a reason. What did you expect to find here?

The Holy Spirit is not a tumblr SJW. Blaspheming it means a lack of contrition and repentance up until death.

No.

>>636679

You're fine, op.

>>636685

This.

OP, you just need to persist and go through the narrow gate. Truly repent of your sins and read your Bible and pray, just make sure not to take the Mark of the Beast if you ever see it within your lifetime.

Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door. (Matthew 7:7 - emphasis mine)

> just make sure not to take the Mark of the Beast if you ever see it within your lifetime.

Kind of difficult to do, if you don't know what the mark looks like.

Some have said it's probably going to be a chip that will be implanted in you (RFID), others some special kind of tattoo (occult in nature?), maybe something different entirely…

>>636776

The mark of the beast isn't technological. It's an outwardly visual spiritual mark reflecting a state of the soul. Tattoos and RFID chips are bad enough, but they are only prefigurations.

>Exhibit A: I had homosexual thoughts for a week a couple years ago. (fell for the trap meme)

Did you have sexual fantasies? Did you masturbate to them? Did you look at pornography? Did you engage in Sodomy? It doesn't sound like you're an unrepentant Sodomite, so I don't think God has given you over to a reprobate mind.

>Exhibit B: When I was 13 I think I blasphemed the holy spirit after seeing a post on /r/atheism inciting such.

Atheists only betray their ignorance. They don't even understand what blasphming the Holy Spirit is. You didn't commit that sin.

Just repent and follow Jesus and you'll be fine.

>>636679

Blasphemy against the holy spirit is unforgivable. You're hell bound, OP.

>reprobate meme

>>636776

>Kind of difficult to do, if you don't know what the mark looks like.

The Holy Spirit will tell you, and this guy has no clue either >>636784

>>636679

>Am I reprobate?

If you have to ask, the answer is "No."

>>636784

Okay, reading this again, I sorta agree with you. But make no mistake that it'll be a physical mark of some kind that is given out by the Beast. I'm fairly certain many Christians (at least on this board) will know in the knowest of knows that that is the Mark and that we need to flee if we ever see it.

AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU

>>636799

The mark will be given in some kind of ritual where worshipers of the wounded beast blaspheme the Holy Spirit (acknowledging with full knowledge that God is God and Jesus is the Messiah, but pledging to reject and fight against God anyway on the side of the Antichrist). This is the one unforgivable sin, and it's commitment is the requirement to receive the mark. During the ritual, the beast from the earth will use his powers to apply a supernatural seal to the hand or forehead (probably denoting different ranks) that cannot be removed or concealed or imitated. The mark will be required to participate in the economy. It will be visible to anyone day and night, and will not be subject to natural laws. It is a spiritual mark that is outwardly visible. Anyone who receives the mark is already damned. Anyone without the mark will be hunted down and pressured to take the mark under torture or threat of death of the self or loved ones. Those who refuse will be beheaded. I don't think you can accomplish all that with a gadget, and I see no reason why the beast from the earth would restrict himself to technological means alone given his supernatural powers and the spiritual nature of what the mark actually represents. That's just my interpretation, though. I won't be getting any microchips or tattoos haha

>>636679

Everyone is a reprobate.

All you can do is ask God for mercy and do your best to ''not' do anything reprobate.

>>636679

You cannot blaspheme the holy spirit on a whim. You first need to experience it and then suspect its a profoundly evil force.

>>636804

Underrated post.

>>636792

This one too.

>>636788

How is it a meme?

>>636856

I don't think you know what reprobate means

>>636679

Exhibit A: Don't ask or listen to these LARPer Anderson worshippers

Exhibit B: You must first be in the presence of the Holy Spirit in order to blaspheme it. You cannot do it on a whim.

>>643358

Every 2-3 days someone makes a thread where they ask if they're reprobate because they had a gay thought once or touched their pee-pee while bathing or looked at a girl's butt. It makes it into a kind of meme.

>>636792

How do you know that?

>>636776

>you don't know what the mark looks like

It is the antithesis of God's seal (Revelation 7:3), given by the worship of Satan (or, at the very least, the lack of Christian worship), as God's seal is given for the proper worship of God. It isn't a physical marking on the body.

Just don't do anything un-Christian, as those under the influence of Satan do and will compel you to do.

If you want a good example of a reprobate, read Exodus, specifically when the plagues start showing up and Pharaoh still chooses to defy god. If you look at him and see yourself, then maybe. If not, you're probably ok. The fact that you're worried about that question is already a good sign. If you're worried about stumbling in your walk, remember this. The fact that we stumble and fall is the whole point. We're human. Sin is in our nature ever since the fall. God understands that. What's important is that you get back up every time you stumble, and try to be better. Whether or not you succeed is another matter, the point is you are making a genuine effort not to keep walking in sin. So I'd say pretty safely, no. You're not a reprobate.

>>643417

A reprobate wouldn't ask because a reprobate wouldn't care enough to ask.

>>636683

What if a person said "F@#/ God" or some other insult as an edgy teen? This memory has been worrying me for a while ever since I started reading the bible.

1 Timothy 1:13 KJV

Pretty good documentary

>>636679

Since you wonder about that, you aren't. Having homosexual thoughts from being tempted by disgusting porn is … a problem … but sure nothing eternal, considering you stopped and realized how much of an illness that was. The second part: Mortal sin and MUCH MORE SO eternal sin is something you don't commit out of f'ckery and fun, not least as 13 y/o when you don't even realize the implications. They require full knowledge, full consent and full intention - not just edginess.

Also see what >>636685 wrote, good post.

Man, must suck being a MNC having your tech stolen every day.

>>636679

There is no such thing as a reprobate.

Repent and be vigilant, have faith in Jesus and do not be confused.

>>636833

go back to your homo board and stop promoting inherent homosexuality as "super straight" and what not else

>>644264

ok but this wouldn't happen in my austro-libertarian techno-singulitarian patchwork society unironic about this

>>656237

Can you provide bible scripture to support your entire post?

The reprobate doctrine seems pretty direct…

>>656248

Then how do you explain psychopaths, sodomites, and pedophiles?

>>636679

>Am I a reprobate?

Not a day has gone by that I have not asked myself this question since actually looking into Christianity and wanting to be saved.

back in my day we just called them "chicks with dicks" and its definitely gay. young people, I swear.
