Mark 3:28-30 Question

Hi, I'm new here and I did search on this and I didn't find anything. Sorry if it's been done before or if I'm posting in the wrong place. I haven't been saved yet or baptized, so I'm not technically a New Christian, but I'm definitely planning on getting it done and finding a church and all.

My question is about the verse that's the title of this post. In my Bible, it doesn't state 'blasphemy' like the things that I read online, but it uses another word; curses. I was in a situation where I lost my dog and I was extremely mad and said some things that I shouldn't have said out of lack of control from my anger. So because of the way it's stated in my Bible, it sounds like if you do anything like that, then you're doomed to Hell for eternity. I searched it online and it elaborated and made me worry less, but I'm still not sure.

It said something along the lines that the only way it's unpardonable is because the person who blasphemed had no intention on ever having any interest in being saved or going to Heaven or having faith in Christ and that if you worried that you committed this sin, then you haven't. It also said that if the unbeliever wants to be forgiven, then he'll be forgiven of it.

I just find it really confusing and want to get opinions on whether or not I'm doomed for Hell because of a mistake I made when I was really mad.

YOu see, the leaders accused Jesus of casting out demons by the power of satan.
Jesus was doing good things by the power of the holy spirit and these guys were so off base they attributed the work of God to the work of satan.
That is blaspheming the holy spirit.
You have to be pretty jacked up to call good evil.
Hope that answers your question.

No! You're not banished to hell for saying anything..
Go read John 3:16-19.
Then I pray that you say to Jesus that you Believe in him and Love him.. Then find some other Christians you trust to help you grow in the faith.

God already loves you! And he's calling out to you.. All you need to do is say "YES".

By dying on the Cross All our sins are forgiven.... if you believe in Jesus.

The gospel is actually mindbogling simple :)
Praise the Lord!

Thanks, you guys! I didn't really want to post that because I was afraid the answer was going to be, "NO, you're never going to Heaven!" so it was done out of impulse.

I intend on finding a church within the next month or so if everything works out and I'm really wanting to learn how to know Jesus the way they say you should because I haven't been to a church since I was probably 5 or so and don't know exactly what they mean by that. I plan to learn, though.

Thanks for helping me out and I'll go find the verse you were talking about, Heinrich.

Hi,

The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is giving the credit that is due to the Holy Spirit to a demonic force instead.

Cursing is not considered a blasphemy of the Spirit....


You stated,
" I'm not technically a New Christian, but I'm definitely planning on getting it done and finding a church and all."

The Word of God says that "today" is the day of salvation. Salvation is a process, and the first step is acknowledging that sin exists in your life and that the results of sin is eternal death, but there is eternal life through Jesus Christ, who is the way to the Father. Just have a little talk with Jesus and seek His forgiveness for sin. No church is going to save you, but only through Jesus Christ will you be saved.

Questions?

Believe me, I have *tons* of questions, but I won't bore you with them, haha. My biggest fear since about the age of 8 was going to Hell and I'm trying to clear everything up and make sure that I'm okay and haven't done anything too bad to have made God turn His back on me.

I will say, though, that I've been told a million times by my dad that a church isn't going to save me. I do know that, but I honestly would love to find one and meet new people and have people around me to make sure that I don't stray. I've always been seriously yearning to get in a church because I haven't been to one in years. I need to turn my life around and that's the first thing I can think of doing. Other than being saved, of course.

About being saved, I always heard you have to confess by mouth, but I'm so shy that I worry it means to do it in front of tons of people. Is that what they mean when they say to confess with your mouth or can you be alone doing it? Of course, I'd rather do it in front of people so I know that I'm doing it 'right'. And does that mean confessing every single sin, or does just saying, "Forgive me for my sins," will forgive them all?

Sorry about the questions. I hope they don't sound ignorant because I don't know the answers. It's half the reason I want to find a church, so I can ask up front if I ever get curious about anything.

It doesn't mean that you confess your sins publicly with your mouth, but that by a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as the redeemer of your sins. A statement that you know Jesus Christ has forgiven you of your sins.
