blasphemy challenge

this is disturbing: blasphemychallenge.com challenges people (youths, obviously) to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and thus gain eternal damnation. of course, this is after the youths themselves deduce that Christianity is irrational, false and God is non-existant.

i fear that people would just go straight ahead and shoot a video of themselves blaspheming the Holy Spirit, since they aren't Christians anyway. well there's a free DVD innit? but of course, there are those who rationally consider Christianity, and decide that there is no God.

irrational faith. I believe that God did send His only Son, birthed by a virgin, who lived a perfectly Holy life. I believe that God incarnate did hang on a cross and die. I believe His death was for us, and we would gain eternal salvation by the grace of God (since, he IS a loving God).

there is rational faith, but there is no 100% rational faith. no amount of intellect alone will lead you to the belief that Christ is Saviour of the world. (in fact, it takes an emotional high induced by the awesome band, a riot of people spouting an unknown language, a money hungry and homosexual pastor, and prayer ministers who don't believe in the power of prayer to pray over you; and sometimes a touch from God)

but really, why condemn yourself to hell by blaspheming the Holy Spirit? is your ego really so big that you believe you can understand all of creation (or evolution) and decide in this lifetime that God is not real? if you must not-believe, dont seal an eternal contract! that is more irrational than irrational faith.

what is blaspheming the Holy Spirit anyway? i'm not theologically trained, but i'll tell you what i think it is. its denying the work of God on this earth, knowing full well that it is God who caused it to happen. it is- simply- denying that Jesus is the Son of God. nobody can go to heaven without acknowledging that Jesus is the Saviour. this, is the unforgivable sin.

leave it to your rationality, or your irrationality to choose between God or not. "We cannot pander to a man's intellectual arrogance, but we must cater to his intellectual integrity." - PAUL LITTLE
