Now note carefully the apostles language. Those who forbid to marry and
command to abstain from meats are classed with those who hold forth the
doctrine of devils, and speak lies in hypocrisy. It is the doctrine of
devils to say that any meat is unclean; for said he, God created them and
they are his creatures. Then he goes on to say to Timothy, “If thou put
the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister
of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine,
whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Tim. 4:6. If any kind of meat is
offensive to me, there is no law either natural or divine that says I must
eat. I have a right to abstain from it if I choose. It is no sin for me to
do that, but I have no right to say to others, It is a sin for you to eat
pork or any other kind of meat.
The Sin Against The Holy Ghost.
“Wherefore 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. And 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.” Mat. 12:31, 32.
“Verily I say unto you. All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men,
and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall
blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger
of eternal damnation: because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.” Mark
3:28-30.
“And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be
forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it
shall not be forgiven.” Luke 12:10.
