The Blasphemy Challenge
Posted by Cory Tucholski on February 15, 2007
This is great stuff! It brings me great joy to see God working in this world, and to know that He still uses us sinful creatures for His purposes.
A while back, I blogged on the Blasphemy Challenge, which is a disservice being done to the community by the oxymoronic Rational Response Squad. The challenge is to declare, on a YouTube video, that you deny the existence of the Holy Spirit. I’ve covered this in the past, but it bears repeating: the Unforgivable Sin is a sin of action, not of words. In committing this sin, you are continuously denying God by your lifestyle, thoughts, choices, actions, and condition of heart; not by making a one-time verbal declaration. Obviously, this isn’t what the folks who have taken the so-called challenge are actually doing–they are making the declaration, but we don’t know what they really believe or how they live their lives.
Well, now a series of websites has risen up to answer the Blasphemy Challenge. I love what they are doing in the name of Jesus, and so I provide their sites here.
- Challenge the Blasphemy: praying for all the folks who have accepted the Blasphemy Challenge.
- Challenge Blasphemy: collecting testimonies of former atheists. I can’t endorse the prophecy links on this site.
- The Christian Challenge: have you read the Bible?
