Ashamed Of The Gospel-How People Show They Are Embarrassed of Christ 

James Jennings or whoever reads comments From this channel When I commented before you said my arrogant vows could be forgiven and i know it's true and other godly people within this ministry and elswhere told me the same but I don't know what to do with these verses. I think of Matthew 23:16‭-‬22 plus OT verses like Psalm 15:4, and Ecclesiastes 5:1‭-‬7, and Proverbs 20:25. I know we are under the New Covenant but these seem like general statements and not laws. James 4:13-17 was a comfort as well as James 5:12 and but the sermon on the Mount doesn't forbid promises like I hoped due to Paul's promises and Jesus speaking under oath so I'm not sure if I can ask for forgiveness if it was never a sin to make one in the first place. I made hundreds of unwise vows and to me any vow I regret was unwise even if some people might say they are good. How do i use Scripture to know they are annulled and that i didn't willfully sin by asking to be released and forgiven without trying to fulfill any? People say you use God's name in vain due to Matthew 23:16-22, some promises also popped into my mind during prayer which would be in Gods name too. if its true i still feel like i misused His name since i used it in an unwise way. if my promises are regretful I think how in an unequally yoked marriage how you are required to stay even though it was a sin to begin with. These Vows are mostly intrusive thoughts but i think i said some outloud and purposely. I know Proverbs 6 and Numbers 30 talk about being released but i dont really fit. I understand swearing in court, signing legal documents, marriage, etc. I also am scared of unpardonable sin but you have helped me before in the comments. You told me i sounded too focused on fear and worry and to start looking to Christ and living for Him and before that when i mentioned Hebrews 6:6 you said how its not saying people who are coming out of false doctrine couldn't be saved. With me it wasnt false doctrine so i was afraid when I read the response but you did recommend a video that seemed encouraging. When i look on Hebrews 6:6 or on blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in Matthew 12, i seem to completely fit the persons in both. I knew the right doctrine, partaked of the Spirit, etc. I think I said and thought things that would count as blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I was willfully sinning and trying to harden my heart and for dumb reasons if I can even say I have a reason...one was i thought i was going to hell for making promises anyway so why bother. I think i was an apostate and maybe even was one more than once plus had hateful thoughts and feelings toward God even while believing in Him the entire time. I'm trying to hold on to John 6:37 and John 6:44 like your videos on here said. I think of I Timothy 1:13 and how I wasn't ignorant. I fear for my soul basically every night praying a prayer of salvation in case I die but I still don't seem saved, do I not mean it enough?

How may I pray for you?

The LORD desires that we be dependent on Him. He is the God who brings salvation, including the increasing measure of salvation we all need as believers to become evermore Christ like. Call out to Your Father with all your heart. He knows this is how you have been walking. He is waiting for you to confess it, so you can b e cleansed from all unrighteousness. "God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every God work:" (2 Corinthians 9:8) He is the One who is able...I encourage you to go to Him, and keep doing so. And remember, He will always forgive if you come to Him with a repentant heart.
