My mistake, sorry. We've been in the end times since the Cross. But the final stretch had yet to begin, the Tribulation and all that. When the Mark of the Beast comes, that is when its time to pick sides for once and for all.

But until then, anyone can still come to grace.

Not anyone.

There is one sin that cannot and will not be forgiven.

How many people have committed Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

Millions. Maybe more.

"Looking at a girl is committing adultery." No, looking lustfully at a girl is adultery.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not the blind ignorance of an Atheist, it is calling the works of the Holy Spirit the works of the Devil.

Where does it say that in the Holy Bible?

Matthew 5:28 KJV "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

As for blasphemy, Jesus said this right after the Pharisee's claimed the Holy Spirit's miracles were actually satan's work, telling them that such blasphemy is not forgivable.

I would think a true believer would know his Bible in full context.

Where? Chapter and verse.

Because someone names one type of blasphemy does not mean he has named them all.

The context does not negate what He said. It is just the reason He brought it up. Just because He was warning the Pharisees in particular at the time, doesn't mean it doesn't apply equally across the board. Or are you accusing Jesus of injustice and prejudice against the Pharisees?

Question: do you think that evil is the work of the Holy Spirit, or the work of the Devil?

You should really look up your own verses. But here.

Matthew 12: 22-32 KJV "Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

25And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

31Wherefore 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.

32And 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."

No! You are making the claim, you provide the evidence.

So where does Jesus say that this and only this is blaspheming the Holy Spirit? It's a cracking example of blaspheming the Holy Spirit but I'm pretty certain that coming right out and saying that God is a liar by saying He hates something in the Bible because you think it sounds wrong is right up there with those Pharisees.

"whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Was Jesus kidding around here?
