A few questions...

[Tego]

Well, I have a few questions for you people. .. Obviously.
First off, is there such thing as an "unforgivable sin?" Because after doing some reasearch over the internet, I have come across excerpts from the bible. "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin."
Blasphemy is what it said, and that is defined, again by a google search, as talking down a God or something.
I was really concerned with this, because somebody had accused me of commiting blasphemy, as I was being a little "hyper" one day and participated in a, rather fake, "satanist thing" in a chat room. It really was just a few teenagers being punks, making jabs at just about every religion, while we just flooded the screen with "666."
In all reality, we were just being stupid and goofing off. There were a couple of Christians in the area, and they started calling us on it. This was the time it came to my knowledge that I may have committed this "unforgivable sin." They had told me and my friends that, in doing this, we are comdemning ourselves to Hell. Immediatly after learning this, I became pretty frightened and stopped that instant. But did I already go too far?
Now, I haven't been a Christian very much at all, but this really did scare me. Many times, I have questioned God. Does he exist? No, I would always tell myself.
So, for my second question, which pretty much depends on your look on my first question... Have I gone too far? Am I doomed to Hell, no matter what I do?
Because I've heard about Hell, I went to church every Sunday, and youth group every Wednesday, about all my life until about a year ago when I realised I may be past forgiveness. And, well, Hell sure isn't a place I'd like to spend eternity.
Again, this arises to more questions. Hasn't just about everybody doubted God at some point in our lives? Are we all doomed to Hell?
Well, I guess I'm being even more Blasphemous here, and digging myself into a deeper hole, but...
Doesn't this make God, well--for lack or a better word--harsh? I mean, if He would condemn people to Hell for one slip up... Isn't that a bit extreme?
Also, doesn't this mean there is no hope for Satanists/other religions? If they have declined God and probably said "mean things" about Him, then they are doomed, right? Yet, people are always trying to convert them... Why?
I have more questions I'd like to bring up, but I'm a bit afraid to do so. They are yet more blasphemous questions (perhaps even more so), but maybe I've already gone too far just thinking it.

.. I'm also a bit afraid to be posting this. =P I'm expecting the worse, and that I am indeed, utterly screwed. But, hey. I might have a little bit of hope, right?

Oh, and please forgive any typos/lack of capitalization. I'm new to this.

Tego there is an unforgivable sin and it is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

To commit the sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit you must accuse someone who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit of being possessed by a demon. Calling the Holy Spirit a demon is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Here is the scriptures that detail when this happen when a group of men said that Jesus did His great sign by the power of Beelzebub the ruler of demons.

Mark 3

22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebub," and, "By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons."
23So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house. 28 "Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"-- 30because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

What did the scribes do? They said that the Holy Spirit that was with Jesus was "Beelzebub" They accused the Spirit of being a demon, (like calling God satan) that act is the sin of blasphemy of the Spirit. verse 30 refers to "they" they where the scribes in verse 22.

So the Sin is specific to the Holy Spirit. So look back at what you did, Did you accuse a Holy Spirit indwelled Christian of being possessed by a demon?

I believe if you check out this site, it will help you with a lot of your questions. From what I have read, I don't believe you are without hope. Keep searching for Christ.
http://christiananswers.net/q-eden/unpardonablesin.html

This site is worth checking out for almost any question you could ever have concerning Christianity and the Bible. HTH!

 

[dvd_holc]

First, it is believed by many people that the blasphemy of the Spirit is saying something bad about the Holy Spirit which equates to eternal damnation. And, this falls back on don't take My Name in vain in the 10 commandments.

Still further into the discussion is that, it is the refusal of a person to recognize the active of God in their lives leading toward repentance and baptism into Christ. Do you not know that God's goodness, forebearance, and longsuffering through our sinful lives is for the purpose of leading us to repentance? Do you not know when you repented you turn away from the destructive influences of your life and the effects of those influences on other people to be renewed in the likeness of Jesus Christ? Do you not know that those who self seeking and don't look and drive after the high purpose of life (living in love with God, the community which involves self, and the enviroment) will receive the disconnection and unsatifaction of a life that only means something to yourself? If you hold onto your own identity and strength to stand fast against all things in life, you are not fully connected in love with others. Don't allow for half-truths or half-relationships replace pure joy, hope, and fulfillment that in God who is blessed forever, let it be true. you are not damn untill your last breath or the return of Christ.

Tego,

First of all, Jesus died and rose again for you, and He wants you to be saved. That is His promise throughout the bible.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
...God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the
truth.

Now that that is settled, let's take a look at this sin that you are concerned about. The sin against the Holy Spirit is unbelief. Unbelief is unforgivable, because believing in Jesus is the only way to salvation.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

It seems to me that you do have a glimmer of faith, or this whole thing would not concern you at all. Satan is rather enjoying the fact that you are staying away from church and youth group. Defy his nastiness, and head for youth group tonight. Speak with your pastor afterwards, and tell him your thoughts. There is nothing he hasn't heard before. Trust me, because I've been through the same types of thoughts you are having, and any pastor I ever talked to was willing to help me, and did not judge me.

Faith as small as a mustard seed is still faith. Tell Jesus your thoughts of doubt in Him. He knows your heart, and will be right there to help you.

The satan things you were delving into were not right, and Christ is glad you did not keep on doing those things. Tell Him you are sorry, and your sin will be forgiven.
Please read all of Psalm 103, especially verse 12. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Read on to verse 13, it is beautiful.

I will be praying for you. Remember...Jesus would have died for you had you been the only person who ever lived.

[Alcamo]

There is much misudnerstanding about the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I’ll be brief for the sake of time. It was not what the people Jesus was talking to said that was the issue, it was their hearts, out of which they were speaking. They blasphemed because, confronted with proof that Jesus was who he claimed to be, they so hardened their hearts that they were more willing to say it was the work of satan than of God. Their ultimate sin was rejecting Christ out of a hardened heart. Further, this isn’t a one-time sin, it is an ongoing and progressively worsening condition until people reject every prompting of the Spirit and hence refuse to respond to God’s grace.

The truth is, regardless of anyone’s view of this sin you can be absolutely sure you have not done it by asking yourself one simple question: Do you want to be in a relationship with God and be forgiven? Even if the “want” is purely intellectual and carries no emotion, Scripture is clear that you cannot desire God without God himself putting that desire in your heart, and he would not put it there if you had committed an unpardonable sin. (As an aside, even if someone says “no” to the above question, it does not necessarily mean he/she has blasphemed the Spirit, only that he/she has so far been unresponsive to God but may change as time goes on. Those who've truly hardened their hearts to a permanent state of rejection never turn back).

Having said that, without choosing to ask Christ into your life and experience freedom in him, you are choosing eternal separation from him by default. As someone once said, “On the highway to hell, there is an off ramp.” I hope you take it and come to know his power and love!

 

[solarwave]

I belive Jesus died for all sins and so if someone, TRULLY BELIVES, and its not just words, then they will be forgiven.

O yeh, and I don't think going to hell is God being 'harsh', its your fault. He tried and if people pull away, He still loves them and tryed. I think hell is where you go if you can't go to heaven, so going to hell is based on if are forgiven, rather than, you are being punished.

That just adding to the others replys, hope it makes sense.

 

[Rafael]

I believe there is a relationship between the blashphemy of the Holy Spirit and the passages of scripture in the book of Hebrews where it speaks of a person who has known and tasted of God and the Holy Spirit, yet they trade that experience and knowledge in for something else (Heb. 6:4-6).
As sinners, we fumble many times in life as we make our journey towards a deeper understanding and relationship with God. To come to the point of not having the grace of God would be a hard thing to do, IMO, - knowing God in a deeper way through His Spirit and then being able to turn away. I doubt if you have done this thing, and when Jesus spoke of this blasphemy, He was speaking to the religious folk and leaders of His day - the Pharisees, who accused Him falsely when they knew who He was. At least the leader of the Pharisees that year knew who Jesus was - Caiaphas, and he told the others (John 11:50).

Heb. 6:4-6 For it is impossible to restore to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come — and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people to repentance again because they are nailing the Son of God to the cross again by rejecting him, holding him up to public shame.

Heb 10:26, 27 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received a full knowledge of the truth, there is no other sacrifice that will cover these sins. There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.

 

[Cyprian31]

That "unpardonable sin" you're so worried about? reread the text; Jesus was speaking to a particular group of people in a particular time. To be specific, certain Pharisees pretty much said that Christ was operating under the authority of satan. n ohter words, equating the Holy Spirit with the fallen one. Not good. However, I think you'reok as for your question about satanists, yes, there is hope for them. I was a practicing occultist for 7 years, my goal now is to minister to those still lost in the occult. If there was no hope, if God didn't have His unconditional love for them also, there would be no point. remember, God is love, God is hope. Christ died for all, not just those who say nice things.

Forgive me.

 

[PaulAckermann]

Well, I have a few questions for you people. .. Obviously.

First off, is there such thing as an "unforgivable sin?" Because after doing some reasearch over the internet, I have come across excerpts from the bible. "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin."

Look at the context of this passage:

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons...Jesus said.."Therefore R450 I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven."
Matthew 12

Jesus is saying that the Pharisees, who accused Jesus of being able to cast out demon because He was of the devil himself. This shows that the total hatred that the Pharisee had of Jesus to the point that the thought the ver worst of Him in spite of the miracles they witnessed. This showed the hardness of their heart toward Jesus.

This is what blasphemy of the Spirit is.

I was really concerned with this, because somebody had accused me of commiting blasphemy, as I was being a little "hyper" one day and participated in a, rather fake, "satanist thing" in a chat room. It really was just a few teenagers being punks, making jabs at just about every religion, while we just flooded the screen with "666."

This sin is forgiveable. It may have been blasphemy, but not blasphemy of the Spirit.

So, for my second question, which pretty much depends on your look on my first question... Have I gone too far? Am I doomed to Hell, no matter what I do?

You're very concern about your soul is evidence that you did not go too far. The only way you can be convicted of doing wrong is because the Holy Spiit is convicting you. Since the Holy Spirit is convicting you, it shows that God has not given up on you. Those who are doom no matter what would not even care that they are doomed.

Again, this arises to more questions. Hasn't just about everybody doubted God at some point in our lives? Are we all doomed to Hell?

Faith in God can exist in spite of having doubts.
21 And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood. 22 "It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!"23 And Jesus said to him, " `If You can?' All R309 things are possible to him who believes." 24 Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief." 25 When Jesus saw that a R310 crowd was rapidly F153 gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command F154 you, come out of him and do not enter him again."
Mark 9

This father had faith, but the father also had unbelief. Jesus did not turn him away because he had some unbelief. No. This man had sufficient faith for Jesus. Jesus said at another time that all we need to have is faith as small as a mustard seed.

Do not worry so much about having enough faith. That is putting your faith in your faith, instead of placing your faith in Christ. It is not that we have great faith. It is that we have faith in a great God!

Doesn't this make God, well--for lack or a better word--harsh? I mean, if He would condemn people to Hell for one slip up... Isn't that a bit extreme?

It is not one slip-up or mistake that sends us to Hell. I am a Catholic, and for a Catholic a slip-up is a venial sin. A mortal sin is more grave then that, and it reflects a total rejection of God.

Also, doesn't this mean there is no hope for Satanists/other religions? If they have declined God and probably said "mean things" about Him, then they are doomed, right? Yet, people are always trying to convert them... Why?

Jesus said that we should not judge. The only person we know for certain went to Hell was Judas, because Jesus said it was better that he ws never born. There is always hope for everyone else.

I have more questions I'd like to bring up, but I'm a bit afraid to do so. They are yet more blasphemous questions (perhaps even more so), but maybe I've already gone too far just thinking it.

I found none of your questions to be blasphemous. They were good questions. I don't think an honest question can ever be blasphemous. Only assertions can be blasphemous. To ask whether God is harsh is not blasphemous. Read the Book of Job in the Bible. Job is seriously questioning whether God was being unfairly harsh on him. That was not blasphemy. Job was not asserting that God was harsh, he just had some honest questions - just like you.

 

[Calminian]

I'm not going to say there isn't any room for debate about this issue, but I am 100% persuaded that seajoy, Alcamo and Rafael (and some others) nailed it. In fact I was pleasantly surprised so many came to this conclusion. The Hebrews passages Rafael cited were spot on (IMHO).

I found a great article on the subject.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
Reflecting on the Unforgivable Sin

The eternal sin Christ was talking about...

Mark 3:28 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.”

...is the continual resisting of the witness of the Holy Spirit to the point where He withdraws His light. When you read the gospels there is a lot of fucus on the pharisees and how often they were given signs. Yet no matter what teaching or miracle they were exposed to, they continually found an excuse not to believe. This showed that the enabling Holy Spirit had withdrawn from them. Their opportunity had past. Quite a frightening thought.

The pharisees give us the picture of the one who has committed this blasphemy of the Spirit. Utter contempt for Christ and His message. It is the Spirit who draws and enables us to believe. To resist Him is to insult Him (Heb. 10:26-29). Anyone worried about having committed this sin has not committed it. But it is important to act and receive the Lord while the opportunity remains. The opportunity may not last a lifetime. God can and does harden hearts.

Jer. 13:16 Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to thick darkness and change it to deep gloom.

I think this passage in John 12 sums it up completely.

John 12:35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 36 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. 37 Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn — and I would heal them.”

Jesus tells us in Matt. 12:31 that every sin will be forgiven except this one. What else can it be but unbelief? Thus, to follow this statement logically, no one can end up in Hell without committing this sin. The Bible is clear that God draws all men to himself. We must resist this to the point of being hardened in order to be condemned.

Hope that helps. Trust me, Tego, you haven't committed it if you're worried about it.

BTW, just as a side note, this also implies that children under the age of accountability cannot go to hell. Resisting the Holy Spirit is logically something only an adult can do. Children are therefore covered by Christ's sacrifice.

 

[Calminian]

I'm not going to say there isn't any room for debate about this issue, but I am 100% persuaded that seajoy, Alcamo and Rafael (and some others) nailed it. In fact I was pleasantly surprised so many came to this conclusion.

BTW, the only reason I was surprised is because of the disagreement I'm used to over this issue. I brought this up in Soteriology and got hammered, especially by the calvies. You can view that thread here. Just wanted to make that clear in case I sounded condescending in any way.

 

[FallingWaters]

... I became pretty frightened and stopped that instant. But did I already go too far?

First of all, the short answer is no, you did not already go too far. Several people have explained that to you quite thoroughly.

Second of all, when you say you became frightened and stopped that instant, that is evidence of the fear of the Lord. That is like the opposite of blatantly calling God a demon (which is what the unforgiveable sin is). The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." It shows you know better than to make God angry at you, and it shows you would like to please Him, if you knew how. Those are good traits to have. So fear not, you have not irreparably offended God. It would be a good idea to repent of your sin, confess it was wrong and ask for forgiveness though.

Doesn't this make God, well--for lack or a better word--harsh? I mean, if He would condemn people to Hell for one slip up... Isn't that a bit extreme?

Yes, that would make Him harsh. God is a loving father and is merciful and long-suffering. God knows a person's heart.

Imagine the hardness of heart that would be required for someone to see a miracle and to say the devil did it. The devil doesn't do good!

The Bible says in the book of James, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." You are not far from the Kingdom, dear one. Draw near.

You haven't crossed the line. You haven't gone too far. There is still much hope for you. The only unforgivable sin that exists today is the sin of unbelief. Jesus said, to be saved, to repent and believe the Gospel. The following movie will show you how to do just that: http://www.christianforums.com/thegospel

God bless!
