Not a believer, I think I committed the unpardonable sin.

[seeker1999-]

I think I have committed the unpardonable sin. I have no Holy Spirit conviction over my sin. None whatsoever. I do have a little guilt though. I have been actively seeking Christ for a few months now.

Some people have a very high threshold for feeling empathy towards others , themselves and God. You say " none whatsoever " yet you also say "I have a little guilt" so meditate on that tiny bit of remorse you feel , as I believe this is where He is doing His work in you. If you continue to seek Him in true humility and not quench His Holy Spirit ,He will help you achieve true repentance through His Holy Spirit then you will begin to overcome doubt.
Blessings.

I don't get it. If you don't believe in God and are not a Christian how can you sin?

I would present the atheist Communists who committed atrocities over the last century as Exhibit A. Let me know if you need me to elaborate.

Thank you for the encouragement. A hardened heart is not easily to be softened as Spurgeon stated in the removal of the stony heart sermon. I should read about repentance, forever If need be.

Far be it from me to tell you a Christian about sin; but sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law. It is not the same as a heinous act. Sin can certainly include (and I submit does) all heinous acts but sin also includes non heinous acts like picking up sticks on Friday night or Saturday. It also includes sex outside of marriage: both are not heinous acts). And in reverse, keeping slaves is not a sin but is surely a heinous act.

Let me know if you need me to elaborate.

If you committed the unpardonable sin you'd be mocking Christ rather than seeking him.

You haven't committed the unforgivable sin or you simply wouldn't be seeking the Lord.
You'd have absolutely no urge to whatsoever,
Someone only seeks the LORD when drawn by him.

 

[IoanC]

This can be typical. The cause is trying things that are beyond our capacity. Solution: relax and focus on the simple things you actually like.

You are correct, if I was truly unforgivable I would not be seeking God in any way shape or form!

This is self-contradictory, and dodging the example of the atheist Communists. They sinned, and they sinned a lot with their injustice, with their lies, with their persecution of the church, with their torture, with their man-made famines, etc. Those who do not repent and come to Jesus will surely go to Hell.

 

[IoanC]

"God's love for the worst sinner is greater than God's love for the best saint". Whenever we think others go to hell, it is actually us going to hell. For example, God did not send satan to hell, but is tolerating him until today. God will not send someone to hell because they have a different mode of being. "Jesus" may not work for everybody. A Christian has no interest in making others Christians, but in helping them with what they actually need.

I didn’t say anything about communists.

 

[Sketcher]

I didn’t say anything about communists.

I gave them as an example of people who did not believe in God who clearly sinned when you asked if it was even possible for people who do not believe in God to sin.

Since I have no Holy Spirit conviction whatsoever but still have guilt. Does that mean it’s too late for me?

So you never loved Jesus Christ of Nazareth?

No not truly, He loves me I hope. I think He may have been drawing me. I have had some strangers bring up Jesus to me. In 2020 a man walked up to me and told me “Jesus loves you” after I messaged 2 believers saying the opposite. Probably an answer to their prayers.

His gift of His Holy Spirit is reserved for those who love Him. Yes, He loves us all but it is a reciprocal relationship. Continue seeking to learn how to love Him unconditionally. Blessings.

One theologian I admire, once said something like, "When I get to Heaven, I expect that I will be surprised whom I find there, and whom I do not, but most of all I expect I will be surprised to find myself there!"

We seem to be unable to keep from having assumptions concerning what "believing on the Lord Jesus Christ" looks like. Our conscience now accuses us, now justifies us, but God is greater than our conscience.

It may be difficult to do, but try to see this life as being about Christ, and not about you. If indeed God has chosen you for his own, there is nothing you can do to undo what he has determined to accomplish— you have not therefore, committed the unpardonable sin. If, on the other hand, you are not one of his, you are already condemned anyway, because you don't believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You are afraid, and rightly so, but come to him whether with full emotion or empty feelings. Present yourself as you are to him. He already knows what's going on with you.

"A bruised reed he will not break.
A smoldering wick he will not snuff out."

"He that comes to me, I will certainly not cast out."

my fear of Hell and the unpardonable sin are only intellectual. Even then the intellectual fear is not that much at all. When I seek God I grind and gnash.
