What Is Sin Unto Death ?...GOD will no longer hear your prayer! 1 John 5:16 is one of the most difficult verses in the New Testament. “If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life.... I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.... There is a sin that leads to death.... I am not saying that he should pray about that.”.... Of all the interpretations out there, none seems to answer all the questions concerning this verse.... This best interpretation may be found by comparing this verse to what happened to Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-10 (see also 1 Corinthians 11:30)..... The “sin unto death” is, DELIBERATE, WILFULL, CONTINUOUS, UNREPENTANT SIN..... God, in His grace, allows His to sin without immediately punishing them... However, there comes a point when God will no longer allow a believer to continue in unrepentant sin..... When this point is reached, God sometimes decides to punish a Christian, even to the point of taking his or her life. That is what He did in Acts 5:1-10 and 1 Corinthians 11:28-32.... This is perhaps what Paul described to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5.... We are to pray for Christians who are sinning.... However, there may come a time when God will no longer hear prayers for a sinning believer for whom He has determined that judgment is due....(THIS SEEMS SO FRIGHTENING TO ME) It is difficult to realize that there are times when it is just too late to pray for a person..... God is good and just, and we will just have to let Him decide when it is too late and trust His judgment. ‘HE will rule them with an iron scepter.’... He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.... On HIS robe and on HIS thigh HE has this name written:... KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." |

So would you compare that to the person who is a drunk then gets saved and stay's sober for a number of years and then slowly falls back into being a drunk and then one day realizes that they are just as missed up as before and even though they pray to stop they just can't seem to stop, is that a decent comparison? The alcoholic who gets saved through AA and then falls off, and on and off the wagon? Don't believe everything you think, God is not a cookie cutter God! Laughing at yourself is better then laughing at someone else.
