Is There an Unforgivable Sin?

sportsfan · Dec 28, 2019

Is their an Unforgivable Sin I realize that Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is but what if you did it on accident what if the yellow flickering light was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I am so scared that the God of the Universe didn't protect me from my mental illness he abandoned me in the hallucination and now I fear that Satan is in my brain and heart. Is it just schizoaffective disorder making me think that I blasphemed. I am crying and emotional thinking I blasphemed the Holy Spirit and I feel out of my body and I see a blue light in my brain but people say I am saved. I don't feel the Holy Spirit and I don't hear his voice right now. I try to relax and trust God would not let a supernatural temptation occur in the shower. I mixed Jesus and Satan up in the shower and he followed me to the door. I am crazy and I had no chance to resit the temptation it wasn't like Eve and the Apple it was a yellow flickering light shaped like a cross and I thought it belonged to Jesus. I saw Revelation unfold and Satan said that I was Antichrist and now I am a false prophet. Would God abandon me would a loving God depart a mentally ill college student who strives to love him. I love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and they feel so far away the sun even looks different it mocks me I failed a supernatural temptation. I truly believe that I have the mark of the beast even though it isn't even out yet to take but it feels so real to me. I feel so emotionally torn by what I am experiencing does God blot mentally ill people from the Book of Life. I had no control over the Yellow Cross it was my weakness was my sanity and Satan has me convinced that I blasphemed with this blue light in my brain is it just a hallucination and this out of body experience people see the Holy Spirit in me but I can't feel him. I wish there was burning bush like Moses experienced. I keep playing You Say I am fighting for my sanity it lies to me telling me that I blasphemed when I know that I have not. I didn't speak against the Holy Spirit it was a hallucination of a flickering yellow light that I had no control over being crazy. I want to trust that God would not allow a supernatural temptation. I am just so depressed and crying thinking that I blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I love Jesus so much and I am worried that he abandoned me for the yellow flickering light. I realize that it doesn't make sense humanly I trust Jesus can forgive me for mixing up on accident with Satan. I didn't witness a miracle like the pharisees and call the Holy Spirit out. I just saw a yellow flickering light that I could not control. I truly believe that Jesus will use this for his glory .

Many believe that the sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit means not believing in Jesus as savior. This is consistent with other scripture regarding sin and salvation. If you believe and submit to Christ as lord you are saved no matter what you did.

You have a wonderful opportunity to live by faith. The Bible does not ask us to feel anything at any time. It does call on us to believe. As we accept the word of God into our hearts, with the power of the Holy Spirit to make God's word real, faith rises up. As we speak out the word that God has given us, the power of the word sets us free. We believe in our hearts that the Lord Jesus rose from the dead. Satan can manipulate feelings. He cannot change God's facts!

As we confess God's word, an odd thing happens. We start to sense a little joy. Often we rely on joy to verify that we have faith. It's the wrong way. Put your trust in God's word, no matter how you feel. Feelings will follow, sooner or later.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan. (Matthew 12:30-32) It is unforgivable as long as the guilty one maintains his/her wrong attitude. As you say, the sin that keeps people out of heaven is rejecting God's salvation. If someone dies in that state, there is nothing that can be done. God has only one entrance exam. Is the person alive or dead? The alive may go in and the dead cannot.

The Bible also defines sin as being whatever is not of faith. That covers a whole lot of things that most people would not consider sin.

I do not think its possible to reproduce what was going on in the first century. We do not have Jesus physically walking before our eyes, teaching, doing miracles, obvious proofs that He is the Son of God. So we cannot blaspheme in the same way as the pharisees did, when they saw all this and still, from the hatred in their heart, said evil things about Him to public.

That’s a really interesting perspective I have never heard before and I really appreciate it.

I also appreciate the previous poster who more or less says that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is a state of mind/existence instead of an act. There are too many scriptures regarding the forgiveness of sin that prove no sin act is unforgivable which is why the verse on blaspheming the Holy Spirit is vexing. It’s a concern of mine. For example, I believe and have stayed many times that most/all the instances of Christians speaking in tongues I have witnessed were false experiences (not following scriptures on use of tongues) and I feel preachers like Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen are false teachers. If Joel Osteen turns out to be right then that would be me attributing the work of God to Satan. Yikes...

Satan said that I was Antichrist /QUOTE]

There are two things you can totally depend on.

Jesus loves you.

That the devil/Satan is a liar.

What ever he says to you is to be checked against the Bible and against the 100% certainty that Jesus is your saviour.

Aussie so I can be forgiven that has been my fear that I attributed the Holy Spirit and Satan on accident in the yellow flickering light. The yellow flickering light says that I blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I have already asked Jesus for forgiveness of mixing of Satan and the Holy Spirit in the Yellow Light so am I forgiven of the sin is that why friends, family, and church see the Holy Spirit in my life. Is this blue light in my brain and words I think I see on my skin hallucination. Is Satan trying to trick me into really doing the unpardonable sin since if I already done it there would be no point. My heart isn't hard I still enjoy going to Church helping with Awana and spreading the gospel of Jesus. I still love Jesus and consider him my savior.

Don’t worry if you have asked forgiveness you are forgiven completely. Jesus already paid for any sins including witchcraft or other things of the sort. People did much worse than you and were forgiven. Paul murdered Christians and was forgiven!

That is a great point on Paul and Jesus blood paid for all sins. I guess it is just a mental illness that is affecting me and making me think that I am a false prophet.

You are forgiven in Christ already. God is not going to condemn you for something that Satan is doing to you. It goes like this: When you accept Christ, His death and resurrection for you, the sinner, and His precious blood for full payment of you sin, you are forgiven. How many of your sins were in the future when Jesus died for you? Pretty simple - all of them. So your forgiveness is set in concrete. Jesus said from the cross, "It is finished!" The salvation that he won for us is so good that we can do nothing to muck it up.

"Finished" includes you, the sinner. God includes us in Christ when we believe. That means we die with Christ. Our old nature passes away and is replaced with a new nature that is of God. To condemn you now would require God to condemn Himself.

Lord Jesus comes to live in the new spirit that God gives us (the new spirit is what makes us born again). The question then becomes, who is in control of your life? You or Lord Jesus. The rest of our lives is the opportunity to become a truly spiritual person or stay self-centred and just go through the motions.

If you desire to go God's way, it will be hard at times. You are getting a taste of it now. But there is no better life than being in harmony with God's will. I've done it both ways. I used to fear God's will, because I did not know God as I do now. I now fear not getting God's will. I know where my own ways get me. No thanks, enough is enough. I know something of God's ways. That's for me.

Fear is Satan's calling card. He wants to paralyse Christians. While you are focused on your own issues, you have little time or energy to help others. You are making great progress, praise the Lord! Keep your eye on the prize. Long distance runners usually have a patch the call "the wall". They have to push on, in spite of how they feel, or they will not finish the race. Christians can experience something similar. God just asks us to keep going, no matter how we feel or how pointless it seems. Athletes have only their own strength to keep them going. We have the mighty, overcoming and victorious Lord Jesus living within us! All feelings and thoughts that contradict God's word about us are lies. Answer Satan's lies with truth. Eventually, he will slink away, defeated. It may take a little while longer. Don't give in and don't give up. Victory is yours - God says so!
