Can the Seal of the Holy Spirit Be Broken

Not open for farther replies.

1. Well-nigh people "ASSUME" that the seal cant be broken, i invite all to practice a study on what Paul was talking near by seal. The Culture in which he lived.
   Also, notice the same Greek give-and-take for seal hither was used other times in the Bible--Each time the seal existence Broken. And information technology Revelation when the word seal is used, it volition be cleaved in the future which proves a seal can be cleaved.
   So, why do some say this seal deceit be broken?

   

2. Becos it is the seal of the Holy Ghost?
   And so why would God pause his own Spirit?

   Eph 4:xxx* And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

   And information technology says sealed "UNTIL" the day of redemption. But some are didactics : "sealed so long as you do this and that.... or sealed until you sin and ...."

   Also, the seal in Rev is non the seal of the Holy Ghost. Jesus did non intermission the Holy Ghost in 2.

3. Intermission his ain Spirit? The seal and spirit are 2 dissimilar things brother. We are sealed by the Spirit.
   God doesnt do it, we do. Why did he say for united states to NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
   Like i said earlier, do a study on what a seal was in Paul's time. We have to kinda know what he was referring to, to know the full meaning.
   By the way, the original doesnt say your sealed UNTIL the twenty-four hour period of redemption. Its UNTO in the original. Which has different meanings.
   God Bless

4. I encourage you to do a written report on the seal. There are other times the seal of the Holy Ghost has been broken.
   God Bless

5. Here is a trivial more on the subject of the seal and what information technology ways.
   In 2 Cor. one:21-22, nosotros read, "Now he that established us with y'all in Christ, and anointed us, is God; who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." In Eph. i:13-xiv, we read, "in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an hostage of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his celebrity." Ephesians 4:30 says, "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the twenty-four hours of redemption."

   Calvinistic theologians take these passages to mean that one who has e'er believed in the Lord is at that moment granted conservancy from sin and its punishment, and that salvation is secured so that at that place is no possibility of information technology beingness lost, for he is "sealed and secured" by God and given a pledge that he can never be lost. It is often styled "eternal security of the believer," or "impossibility of apostasy."

   There is petty doubt that the term "earnest," from the Greek "arrabon" originally referred to what we call "earnest money" deposited by a purchaser as a down payment, and to exist forfeited if the purchase was not complete, or the understanding broken. In the New Testament it is suggested that the Holy Spirit is given to a Christian as a divine pledge or down payment on the futurity blessings that God has in store for usa.

   Surely every Christian is at least dimly aware that every spiritual approval he now has in Christ is but a foretaste, a sort of "downwards payment," of the life and blessings God has reserved in heaven for us "who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation reserved in sky for u.s.a., ready to be revealed in the last time" (ane Pet. one:four-five). Notation that we are kept by the power of God, but information technology is through religion. The bones question with which we are dealing is, "Once the hostage money was given, did information technology necessarily follow that the thing purchased was unconditionally guaranteed?" .The answer should be apparent whether i looks at any purchase today, or how the term applied in either the One-time Attestation or the New. There were and are terms of any contract, will or covenant. If one party does non bide by the terms, the earnest coin that was put down is forfeit. Anyone who ever put upward "earnest coin" to buy a house may have discovered that

   1 John 3:23-24 is one among many passages that teach that abiding in Christ is dependent upon keeping His commandments. If we grieve the Spirit (Eph. iv:30, quench the Spirit (1 Thes. v:xix), practice despite to the Spirit (Heb. 10:29), so we may break the contract or the human relationship that existed when the earnest was given.

   Now allow us examine briefly what is meant by the "seal." The substantive "sphragio" and the verb, "sphragizo" are used in various means to signal ownership, security, authentication, etc., in a way that is very similar to how nosotros apply the word "seal" in the English language language. Nosotros seal a letter by moistening the gum. A notary puts his seal on a document to attest to the fact that the party or parties involved really gave the testimony indicated, or that the signatures are valid. When the tomb of Jesus was sealed (Mt. 27:66), it was for the purpose of fixing it so the body could not easily be removed. It was not meant to be broken, but note carefully that although information technology was not meant to be broken, it was. When nosotros seal a letter, it is non meant to be opened before information technology gets to its destination, just information technology can exist. When a notary puts his seal on an agreement, the agreement is not supposed to be cleaved, but information technology can be.

   When God gives the Holy Spirit to His children as an hallmark that He has bought us, and we belong to Him, that seals an understanding that we take made with Him that we accept the authority of Jesus as Lord, and belong to Him forever. That in no way implies that we cannot break that agreement, and be unfaithful. When Abraham received "the sign of circumcision, every bit a seal of the righteousness of faith which he had" (Rom. 4:11) God was attesting to the fact that Abraham and his descendants who kept the ritual properly, and obeyed the law would be His special people. It did NOT signify that they could non suspension His covenant, exist disobedient and exist cut off from the blessings promised. Surely no person who reads the history of State of israel could logically conclude otherwise. I suggest you exercise a study on why the seal deceit exist cleaved if that same seal was broken cause of the Isrealites disobedience.
   To summarize: God has put His "postage stamp of approval" (seal) on us as His children by giving united states of america His Spirit (Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:sixteen). If we demonstrate that we are His by producing the fruit of the Spirit, then this seal shows that we are owned by Him and are under His protection and authorisation. Nosotros may neglect to exercise that, "intermission the seal" and be lost. Even in the context of Ephesians four:30-32 when Paul says we are sealed unto the day of redemption, he warns us not to grieve the Holy Spirit, and to be kind and forgiving. Jesus said that God will not forgive us if nosotros do not forgive others (Mt. 6:14-18). Then we must conclude that though He has sealed us with the Spirit, and the Lord knows who are His (ii Tim. two:xix), if we do not depart from unrighteousness nosotros volition be lost, or equally we might put it, the seal volition exist broken.
   I pray that you and others will do a complete study on the seal. Why could that seal be broken over the Isrealites but Not y'all brother? Recollect well-nigh it.
   Think near the numerous other times that the seal was broken.
   God Bless

6. Deplorable, but I did not know that you are more than powerful than God -- while God tin can't intermission his own Spirit which seals u.s.a. unto the twenty-four hour period of redemption, you seem to exist able too.

7. The word seal that is used is the aforementioned seal used in the sealing of a letter. (wax) So God wrote a letter of the alphabet to himself nearly yous and seal it. Under police force the simply one that has the correct to open the letter and break the seal is the 1 it is written to.

8. Thats not what i said and yous know it. I said the seal and spirit are totally different.
   God wont break the seal, nosotros exercise by total defiance. Aint information technology funny how OSAS advocates quote that verse, only overlook the residual of the verse that says for us to Non quench the spirit. That part is there for a reason.
   In one case over again, lets see if you can explain why the seal was cleaved over the Isrealites but cant be broken with me or you. Tin can you explain that?
   Thank you
