Is watching football on TV the "unpardonable sin"? Would you want to go so far as to say that one could murder and commit adultery is less sinful than one who watches football on the Sabbath? (hint: King David) I know of no professing believer who has reached perfection in this life... do you? Is not repentance offered to believers as well as unbelievers?

Pilgrim - you know I'm not saying that! You must confuse me with somebody else - I'm not saying watching NFL on SUnday is the unpardonable sin - I'm saying it is tarnishing the Lord's day to spend it in vein pusuits - God is unchanging is He not?

I'm not looking for perfection - but a change in GOdly desires would probably exclude Sunday idol worship, no? Not too trivial - I think this could be a small indicator of one whose inclinations are either turned to GOd or not.

Repentance is most definitely offered to unbelievers - where did I indicate I did not believe that?

The mercy of God is necessary not only when a person repents, but even to lead him to repent, Augustine
