Christians Challenge the “Blasphemy Challenge”

A group of atheists known as The Rational Response Squad, who claims to be fighting to free humanity from the mind disorder known as theism, has issued a “Blasphemy Challenge.” This challenge invites 1001 young people to damn themselves to hell by denying the Holy Spirit and posting the video on YouTube. In return they will receive a free copy of the DVD The God Who Wasn’t There. The one stipulation is that the individuals must use the words, “I deny the Holy Spirit.”

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.” Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but he won’t forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you’re taking here.

Leaving aside the fact that this horribly misunderstands the biblical teaching on the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, Christians are responding to this challenge. Many Christian youth are posting videos on YouTube testifying of their faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Ergun Caner, former Muslim and president of Liberty Theological Seminary, has invited The Rational Response Squad and other atheists to debate the issues publicly.
