MCGI MASS INDOCTRINATION with Brother Eli Soriano and Brother Daniel Razon DAY 13... ZOOM. 27th September 2023 Wednesday.
Greetings dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord and greetings to my family MCGI. Today is the 13th Day of our Mass Indoctrination and Brother Eli Soriano continued his teachings on the Doctrines of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our topic today was on the sins against the Holy Spirit which will not be forgiven
Overview:
Kinds of sin
Sins that cannot be forgiven
The 5 sins
Brother Eli Soriano
Our dear brother Eli Soriano gave us a profound teaching today and made us to understand that there are some sins which cannot be forgiven so we will be careful of it.
Kinds of Sin
He made us to understand from the scriptures that there are two kinds of sins.
The sin unto death
The sin which is not unto death
1 John 5:16 KJV
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
As it has been clearly shown in the bible, the sin which is not unto death can be forgiven through prayer, but that which is unto death (sin against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven)
A person who commits a sin unto death must be expelled from the brethren and the church.
Titus 3:10 KJV
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
The scriptures commands us to expel a brother who commits the abominable sins.
Romans 1:32 KJV
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
It's talking about those who do them intentionally knowing that they are abominable and still does it with pleasure are to be expelled. This is because if you keep them amongst the brethren, others will learn from them. Brother Eli used an example his mother gave him, by saying if a tomato 🍅 is rotten, you must remove it from the rest or else it will infest the others and they will also go bad.
Romans 2:21-23 KJV
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? [22] Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? [23] Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
We also saw that there are preachers who teach the word of God yet they themselves do not obey them.
1 Corinthians 5:13 KJV
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Sins that cannot be forgiven
We are studying this so that we ourselves will be watchful and careful not to commit such acts, and stand in danger of being rejected by God.
Matthew 12:31-32 KJV
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. [32] And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
As you can see, it's clearly written the scriptures. Jesus made us to understand that speaking against the Holy Spirit is a sin that cannot be forgiven. When you do that you put yourself in eternal damnation. We have to be very very Careful not to commit this act, because there is no hope for you in so doing.
Mark 3:29 KJV
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
The 5 sins
Brother Eli Soriano showed us the 5 dangerous sins that are Against the Holy Spirit that we must be careful off. I will try to explain them according to what I learnt
Acts 15:28-29 KJV
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; [29] That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
There where 4 sins mentioned here which we where commanded to keep away from.
Meat Offered to idols
The first thing mentioned here was we abstaining from food Offered unto idols.
What are idols you may ask? Lets look at it from the scriptures.
Psalm 115:4-8 KJV
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. [5] They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: [6] They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: [7] They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. [8] They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Isaiah 44:13-15 KJV
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. [14] He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. [15] Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
The scriptures make us to understand that idols are things made by man that men worship or bow before. Anything either than God a person worships is an idol.
We have been commanded by God to not to worship them and not eat any food Offered unto them. So those who worship Mary and pray to her is in violation of this law.
1 Peter 4:3 KJV
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
Romans 1:25 KJV
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Why should humans beings made by God worship the creatures that he made and leave he that made them. It's not wise you see.
1 Corinthians 8:7 KJV
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
We saw the dangers of eating food Offered unto idols. As Paul said, it has the power to corrupt our conscience and defile us. We ought to stay away from them.
Galatians 4:8-9 KJV
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. [9] But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Paul made us to understand that it's not wise to turn away from God and worship the weak elements he created.
So these are idols
Worshipping Mary(Mary herself is not but the act of doing it, you have turned her into)
the God the Jews (this is because they don't believe in Jesus Christ)
Any images or objects carved by human hands and worshipped.
Acts 10:14 KJV
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Ezekiel 4:14 KJV
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Here we see the faithful servants of God who abstained from these things to please God.
Blood
The second thing we where commanded to do was not to drink blood. This include eating meat with Blood.
Leviticus 17:10-11 KJV
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. [11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Hebrews 9:22 KJV
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
We see here that Blood is something which is very sacred unto God. It's through blood that sins are forgiven. When Jesus paid for our sins it was the shedding of his blood that made it possible.
Acts 20:28 KJV
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Genesis 9:3-4 KJV
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. [4] But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Things Strangled
Things Strangled is talking about animals that died out of natural causes and was not killed and the blood poured out and buried. It's blood remains in it that's why it's not permitted. We are commanded by God to stay away from them.
Fornication
The last thing he commanded us to abstain from is fornication.
1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:16-18 KJV
What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. [17] But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. [18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
According to Paul, our body is the temple of the Lord. So it's also sacred unto the Lord. Doing that will be a sin unto the Holy Spirit.
So here are a recape of the 5 sins we are to stay away from
Speaking against the Holy Spirit
Meat or Food Offered unto idols
Meet with blood
Things Strangled (animal meat that died with it's blood not poured out)
Fornication
I believe that as we discipline ourselves to stay away from these things, our ways will please the Lord. Let's endeavor to obey the word of God. I hope to see you tomorrow on the last day of our Mass Indoctrination.
Stay safe
