Does Jesus approve of mysteriously withdrawing sales of glossy SS Single Sixes ?

That's not the unforgivable sin as defined in Mark 3. Jesus had cast out some demons and the pharisees said he did it using Satan's power. Jesus refuted that and said that their sin of calling the Holy Spirit evil would not be forgiven. He finishes off with this:

Mark 3:29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
30 He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."

That's completely different than dying without salvation.

Thank you as well Rock Chuck. I've read a lot of the bible and it has some incredible wisdom but some of it sounds pretty outlandish to me so I always appreciate when someone can translate what I think it says to what it actually says.

No he did not. It was an abomination, punishable by stoning.

‘Only’ if you think we’re still under the Law.

If I may...
To me...Nope. Not at all. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is only committed when a person believes Jesus had a demon and by the power of the devil He performed His miracles. If you haven’t believed that, and said such, you have ‘not’ committed unforgivable sin...and you’re not screwed when it comes to going to Heaven. Just look at Mark 3:22-30:

And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.” So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.” He said this because they were saying, “He has an evil spirit.”

Those guys committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit whe,n they believed and said Jesus had a demon and by the power of the devil he drove out demons. That is what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is. The only ones Jesus ever said committed unforgivable sin were the ones saying Jesus had an evil spirit and by the power of the devil He was driving out demons.

I'll just take that as a yes. So, if that's the case, am I screwed when it comes to going to heaven?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I have cried out for years that context, and especially this context, is important to the understanding of the Holy Scriptures. Heard many a person attempt to explain blasphemy of the Holy Spirit without the context of this writ. Jesus, as with all things, makes it easy to understand exactly what he intends. If one just reads it Scripture interprets Scripture every time. When you step outside how Jesus explains it here all sorts of interpretations, speculations and theories develop here.

antlers,
you said it well when you said, "Those guys committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit whe,n they believed and said Jesus had a demon and by the power of the devil he drove out demons. That is what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is. The only ones Jesus ever said committed unforgivable sin were the ones saying Jesus had an evil spirit and by the power of the devil He was driving out demons"
Thanks

How good is the “general welfare” of families when over 50% of first marriages end in divorce, and an even greater percentage of second marriages end in divorce, and an even still greater percentage of third marriages end in divorce...? And NONE of those failures has anything to do with “dignifying sodomy.” Giving these people the ability to provide for their “general welfare” in the ways that Nebraska mentioned above, while not infringing on your “general welfare” in any way whatsoever, seems right.

‘Only’ if you think we’re still under the Law.

.. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy Ruger Single Six in Stainless Steel, into the holster, you only have four rounds left and there's 40 of them...

Well, the two reference to the SS Single Sixes I'm aware of are both in the New Testament.

Luke:
22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no Ruger Single Six, let him sell his garment, and buy one in Stainless Steel.

And in John we have:

18:10 Then Simon Peter having a Ruger Single Six in Stainless Steel, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, cleanly removing his right ear lobe. The Priest stopped cold in his tracks as Peter thumbed the hammer and pointed the Ruger Single Six in Stainless Steel at the priests forehead. The Priest said his final prayer and prepared to meet God. All know Peter never missed, for he was imbued with the Holy Spirit.
18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy Ruger Single Six in Stainless Steel, into the holster, you only have four rounds left and there's 40 of them. Besides, this is all part of a plan, and I can't have you screwing it up: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

RJY66,
I’ve seen you post this before; I saved it. Good stuff:
“Good people don't go to heaven and bad people don't go to hell. Forgiven people go to heaven. Unforgiven people go to hell.”

Jesus did say that not one jot or tittle of the old law has passed away.

Obviously you disagree with Christ.

You don't even have a clue what he was talking about.

You boys gonna make me post an image of The Cross?
Love one another!

Is your vitriol the mark of a disciple...?
