QUESTION: Well I wouldn't think that He would do something like that but it didn't say that doing it was wrong either.And everything is in the Bible.You're getting annoyed by me,=) aren't you,I'm sorry.Whenever I ask someone a question over and over,they begin to hate me or something.It's just that I want to make sure that my soul is not in danger of going somewhere that I don't want it to go but I know that I already asked you this but I heard that if I deny the Holy Spirit then it is blasphemy,so is that what it is or am I wrong or something?
AnswerIf you wish to make sure of heaven...then OBEY God's word, in all that you do...and all will be good.
you just answered your own question...you said:
" Well I wouldn't think that He would do something like that "
yes it is in the bible, but right now I can't remember exactly where...I'll find it and send it to you. However, I want you to remember this one fact... just because you can't understand a verse or passage, or find it literally in God's word, that what is being said, is not true. There are many things said in God's word that the ordinary person may not understand what is truly being taught, as being true.
In other words, some things are said spiritually and meant to be understood as spiritual...and other sayings that must be taken literally. You'll understand better when I find the verse. There is only one, that I know of...it doesn't actually say masturbating...but if you will pray first and ask God to open your eyes and ears to learn whAt HE WANTS YOU TO SEE...thru His Holy Spirit inside you to confirm what thus saith the Lord God
