TODAY ON QUESTIONS FROM THE MARKETPLACE: "Progressive Darkness, Blasphemy & Reprobation"

During last Sunday's edition (8/6/17) of my series "From The Schoolmaster to The Savior," we reviewed the phenomenon referred to as the doctrine of "Progressive Light; (the LIGHT OF CREATION, the LIGHT OF CONSCIOUS, the LIGHT OF CHRIST, & the LIGHT OF COMMISSION). While reviewing the unfolding of this concept in Romans 1 we encountered a second, albeit pervasive, progressive concept. This one leading to God's wrath, as those involved willfully and stubbornly reject and suppress the truth revealed by God that leads to salvation. This second concept is known as PROGRESSIVE DARKNESS. This process stands in stark contrast to that provided by God for the redemption of mankind. This is so in that just as when we acknowledge and respond to God's Progressive Light, He gives us more light, continually sanctifying us towards the salvation resident in He alone, so also as some continually refuse and reject what God has shown them in this light, they are gradually turned over to the fullness of their fallen natures in Progressive Darkness as God's sanctifying influence is removed from them. Both of these progressions ultimately lead to final and unalterable conditions: One of Eternal Life. The other in Eternal Damnation, as Progressive Darkness leads to the rejection of the guidance of the Holy Spirit (blasphemy) which ultimately leads to a state of Reprobation where salvation is no longer available.
