There are, of course, those whom God has determined that He would never give new life to. Those who have committed the unpardonable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31), will not be regenerated. Those who have trampled under foot the blood of Christ (Hebrews 10:29), will not be regenerated. Those who have committed the sin unto death (I John 5:15-16) will not be regenerated. I do not pretend to know whether this is one, two or three distinct groups. I do know this – that those who fall under these texts do not come equipped with a signed affidavit letting us know for certain that they are guilty of this sin. As such, I don’t believe we can single out real flesh and blood people and determine – “That one is beyond redemption.”

INGREDIENTS

2	qt	Prickly pears
		Measure before cutting
2	c	Sugar
2/3	c	Vinegar
3	oz	Red cinnamon candies
1	ts	Pickling spice
1/2	ts	Whole cloves — optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove skins of prickly pear fruit. (They're more easily handled if you
burn off the spines first.) Cut in halves lengthwise and remove seeds. Tie
the pickling spice and cloves in a small piece of cheesecloth. Combine bag
and all ingredients but pears. Cook pears in the syrup until transparent.
Remove cc bag. Put pickles and syrup in canning jars with two-piece lids
(you know, the flat part with rubber around edge and the screw-on outer
ring.) Process for 15 minutes in boiling water to cover. If you don't have
a canner, you can use any large covered kettle. Be sure to place a rack or
folded dish towel under the jars before boiling. By Barbara Barte, courtesy
