<TITLE>09. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 Notice in here, the 26th verse:
  For (Listen here, now.)... 
For if we sin wilfully after... we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin,
What is the unpardonable sin? Paul was picking it up here. I'll go back and get what Jesus said.
 For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." What? "If we sin wilfully..."
Now, we got to find out what sin is to see if we do it wilfully. I was saying, here some time ago, was preaching on sin in a Methodist church. And I know there's some Methodist people here perhaps. And I said, "Smoking cigarettes is not sin. Committing adultery is not sin. Stealing and lying is not sin."
An old Methodist sanctified mother setting there, she said, "Then preacher, tell me what sin is." That's the attributes of sin. There's only one definition of sin. That's unbelief.
Jesus said, in Saint John 3, "He that believeth not is condemned already." It isn't how much of the know... I--I go out there and say, "It's nighttime." Well, how much is night? This is night? This much night? And if I was going to say, "How much light's in this room?" Is this much light? No. The whole thing's light. The whole thing's dark.

L-34 You're either a believer or a unbeliever. And the reason that you smoke, and drink, and--and cuss, and do the things you do, is because you are an unbeliever. It bears fruits of itself. And then, if you just say, "Well, I'm--I'm going to quit smoking. And I'm going to quit lying, stealing." You're doing that in yourself. That still doesn't make you saved.
"I'm going to go to church and try to do better." That still doesn't mean it's salvation. You've got to be borned-again and righteousness only comes to the attributes of a believing life. "He that sins wilfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." Here it is.
If the truth has been presented to people, and you see it and you wilfully (because your church won't accept it or something) walk away from it and say, "That's a bunch of holy-rollers, 'cause my church said so," you've crossed the line.
"He that disbelieves wilfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." You get it?

L-35 Now--now, I'm going to take you back and see what Jesus said. One day He was casting out devils. They come up to Him and--and said that He was Beelzebub and He was of the devil. And Jesus said, "How can you, you hypocrites" said, "say good things? When out of the abundance of the heart speaketh--out of the abundance of the heart speaketh the mouth. How can you do it?" And He said, "All manner of blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men. Whosoever shall blaspheme against the Son of man shall be forgiven him. But whosoever blasphemeth (or speaketh) against the Holy Ghost will never be forgiven him in this world or the world to come." Said, "Because..." They said He cast out devils through Beelzebub, the prince of the devil. Do you see it?
