Romans 8:34 and Neville Goddard on the Unforgivable Sin and What Assumption Is
"I was discussing the biblical trinity and I couldn't explain Romans 8:34. Reading your blog for now 4 years has helped me a lot in my bible study and also to understand Neville Goddard. Thanks! Looking forward to the holy spirit part!
By the way, could you explain the sinning against the holy spirit Neville talks about as unforgivable?
Thank you so much,
Kk"

"31. What shall we thus say about that? If Allaha is on our side* (behalf), who is against us? 32. And if He did not interdict His Son, except on behalf of us all, He delivered him, how is He not going to give us everything with him? 33. Whoever receives the election of Allaha, Allaha sanctifies. 34. Who holds [them] responsible? The Messiah died and rose, and is on the right of Allaha and prays on our behalf. 35. Who will separate me from the love of the Messiah? Tribulation, poverty* (nakedness), danger, the sword? 36. As it is written in Scriptures, “Because of you we die every day, and are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.” 37. Except through all these we are victorious, by whom that loves us. 38. For he delivers us, that neither death, nor life, nor kings, nor governments, nor armies; neither those that shall rise, nor that are destined, 39. Neither height, nor depth, and neither any creature can separate me from the love of Allaha, who is our Maran Eashoa Msheekha" (Romans 8:31-39 Alexander).
From before the Beginning the Ineffable ASSUMED Its full and complete, mature Manifestation (Its Manifestation was something the Ineffable would not have had in Its past, and It is repairing that by assuming that Its full and complete, mature Manifestation DOES ALREADY EXIST[!]). GOD SEES IT THAT WAY!! : that the Manifestation has ALREADY died of its God-consciousness and gone through the hell of this death's futility and afflictions and has been generated into the character and spiritual awareness of the Ineffable--ascended into Its likeness in wisdom and power. All the mindless, hurtful crap we have done in life He has forgiven because He sees the end. When we ask for that forgiveness He make us to know it has been given and imbues us with His Holy Consciousness: "This is where I see you."
Who then holds us responsible for our past? The Ineffable deems us the Anointed at His right hand, His agent of ministry to the world yet to be saved. And He intends to use us. Not anything, not anything, not anything can separate us from His love which is in that ASSUMPTION!!
______________________
Regarding the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit, Neville's lecture "The Sin Against The Holy Spirit" refers to Luke 12. I prefer Mark 3, which covers the same idea but uses the word blaspheme. I am just used to talking about the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit as being the unforgivable sin: "However, the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, has no forgiveness to the end of the universe, except he receives the Judgment of the world* (Except he [calls against himself] the Judgment of the universe).”
Says Neville of this blasphemy, "The only thing not forgiven is the sin against the Holy Ghost, and that is, as I see it, when the individual refuses to confess his faith when supernaturally prompted to do so." Neville is spot on, but I see the supernatural prompting differently. The Holy Spirit is that consciousness of the Ineffable which is telling us that we are God. And we say, "No, I am not." THAT, as I see it, is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. We are never going to receive the forgiveness God has for us if we do not recognize our oneness with Him. We do not go to a hell for it, we just keep coming back here or some other terrestrial sphere over and over and over and over and over until it clicks and we get it, the "judgment of the universe" which recognizes that it is God: "Oh, I am God, too."

Sorry about not communicating clearly. What I said about the Holy Spirit being the consciousness of God acting to complete His assumption of our being His Manifestation was all I was going to say. As I mentioned, MST was staffed by ministers who had been defrocked for the crime of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. When we do submit to God, that of which we are wells up within us with a mighty "Howdy-do. Yes, I am here and this is what real life is like." It can be a bit overwhelming, but it sure is sweet and from then on you know that you know.
Something Neville said about assumption in his lecture, "The Sin Against The Holy Spirit":
"My friends in San Francisco, and here . . . who took certain things that they wanted in this world and denied they did not have them and assumed they had them."
Assumption is denying that you do not have what you want: "Father, behold the fire and the wood, but where is the ram for the mountain?" "God shall provide Himself the ram to the mountain" (Genesis 22:7-8 sort of). He's got it, and it is ours. Don't worry about it, just be ready to die (to the facts that say we do not have it, and we will).

I meant to say "this death's futility and afflictions," not affections.
