Metallica the Forgiveness
Can a Believer Commit the Unforgivable Sin?
No. A believer cannot commit the unforgivable sin. How can someone who has been born again (John 3:7), made a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17), and received eternal life (John 10:27-28) actually commit the unforgivable sin? He cannot. Jesus Himself said that we have eternal life, not conditional life: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand" (John 10:27-28). Besides, it says in 2 Cor. 5:17 that the Christian is a new creation in Christ. We are different, no longer slaves to the old nature (Rom. 6:14). We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. There is no biblical support for a believer committing this sin. It just hasn't happened. Also, if you are worried that you may have committed the sin and can't be forgiven, then don't be concerned. If you are worrying about it, then you haven't committed it. If you are worried about it, then that is a sign that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn't be concerned. |

Lead is very forgiving, but I think it is outdone by Mercury, which is liquid at room temperature and therefore as forgiving as can be, and a close second is Gallium, which will melt in your hand.
Osmium, on the other hand, is a tough little motherfother, and you'll find it Sin little use because it comes at such a high price. Ozzie -as we affectionally know it- really does exemplify the genre and the Black Sabbath really harshes the groove of Metallica's Forgiveness. What?

In God and through Him we move and have our being. (Acts 17:28). Yea, that means that God is in you and it is not possible to sin. Get over it, change your socks and drive on. Live a life of what YOU believe character is. Less talk and more listening....to what ever it is you think God is. Less prayer and more meditation. PAY ATTENTION. If I had a stick and you were closer I would hit you with it.

There was one last summer that had a $10,000 prize for 1st place.
The money is going up with the notoriety of this BS. Scary really. Typically you were right, however the times they are a changin'.

I assume the prizes are just the fees redistributed, minus room rental, crowns/trophies, and MC/judges' salaries? $2000 for an entry fee seems unlikely, unless you're talking national-level, very experienced competition.

The last clip mentioning entry fees I saw was not a national -but it was "glitz"- and the mom was saying that the entry fees were $1,800 and she had two girls going......
