Is it insulting words towards the Holy Spirit? Ive heard it is rejecting Christ, some think suicide is it.

.
There are some who would tag on everything under the sun, but this sin is more specific than they would lead you to believe.

The following verses are where the entire understanding of the Unpardonable sin which is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in this particular way comes from.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in this case was attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to Satan.
Jesus Himself explains what the sin is.

Mat 12:22-32
22) Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23) And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27) And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29) Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Strangly it is only those who are 'saved' who worry about sin or the unpardonable sin.
Rather than worry about tripping over your feet take care where you put them. silly example nut if you are seeking to serve Jesus you won't be commiting the unpardonable sin.

I would probably be one of those people who would think of suicide as one of them. I guess its more of at what stage is it considered unpardonable? It would be at a point where they can't ask for forgiveness.Suicide would fall along those lines, or of someone who died rejecting God. Then it would be unpardonable, since if you're not able to ask, then God is not able to pardon. So yeah I agree with that.

It is rejecting the Holy Spirit to the point of saying it is Satan.
Not that God won't forgive you for that. Just that you create a
barrier
where you cannot ask for forgiveness from something
you don't respect. Becasue you don't respect God,
this one sin ends in death.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. That doesn't seem to be the same as suicide.

31) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

The only example we have of it is where Jesus drives out a demon and they say it was by demons he drove out demons, when it was really by the Holy Spirit and this should have been obvious to all. So rejecting good to the point where you attribute it to evil. Looking Divine Truth square in the face and deliberately screaming "Fake News!" when you know it's not fake. Something along those lines.

Willfully rejecting the Holy Spirit - the gospel of God is unpardonable . You can't be saved after you die that sin won't be forgiven to you.

Phariasies in that story saw Jesus's miracles but willfully rejected the signs from God and decided to follow the Devil .
That's why Jesus called them hypocrites , because they knew who Jesus was but decided to not say it , it was thier offence and actually a prophecy .
It was blasphemy against Holy Spirit because Jesus had Holy Spirit and God was using HS for ministering repentance to his people . Phariasies though of themselfes as blameless and decided to not acknowledge thier sins , it even started with John the Baptist who had HS since birth and was ministering the repentance , Phariasies went to him and asked why he does that and did not believe him.

So the sin is willfully rejecting HS and it's power to save you.

Matthew 23:39 > Psalms 118:26 then it continues with Hosea 5:15 not fulfilled

The unpardonable sin is final impenitence. An individual isn't sorry for their sins and doesn't desire to be forgiven of them, so they aren't forgiven them.
No - that is unforgiven not unforgivable. There is a difference.

I just read this morning somewhere (can't find it now) that, at least in this case, denial of the Holy Spirit in light of a clear demonstration of His power. Not sure if this fits every situation. I think there are many ways to do it, but this is an excellent explanation.

Actually blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not attemptable because one would have to personally accuse Jesus of being demon possessed and a sorcerer in person, which isn’t possible.
No, that isn't what it means. It means attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to satan. Quite possible, but requires an intimate knowledge of the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It isn't some casual statement that renders one blasphemous.

Rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is the only unpardonable sin.

Romans 8:1-2 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
