Did I just commit the unforgivable sin?

[Elion]

Okay, so let's get a few things out of the way before we begin. Yes, I have accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. Yes, I believe in heaven and hell. And, yes, I try to be a better person everyday.

However, I have recently committed an action I'm not proud of, and to my knowledge could possibly have given God the leeway to condemn me to hell.

Here's the scenario, I recently gotten into a huge fight with my father(to which I will not disclose information based on what we fought about) and it gotten to the point where he wouldn't believe what I had to say.

The argument escalated to the point where I said "On my lord and savior Jesus Christ I am NOT lying." I eventually came across information that it is blasphemous to say those lines, to which I understand is an unforgivable sin.

Now, I always thought that swearing on someone was a guarantee to where you're so sure that you're right that you're telling God that you're willing to sell your soul into eternal damnation upon not telling the truth. In this case, I was telling the truth, and gotten so frustrated that I felt it was necessary to handle it this way.

So, now what? Have I just thrown myself away, or is there still hope for me?
Also, please don't sugar coat this, I'm scared as I type this and do not need any more stress dealing with this. Thank's in advance.

Hello.
I've struggled with fears over the unforgivable sin too.
From what you have written here, it doesn't seem at all as though you've committed it!
I have read A LOT about this topic because of my fears at having committed it and due to all that reading and research, I do believe that whoever commits this sin has to do it intentionally and knowingly, with malicious intent. This is not at all like the situation you described.
I don't think it's something you can commit in the heat of the moment during an argument and I don't think it's something you can commit in your head either.

I can send you links to the articles that helped me to come to this conclusion if you would like them.

I will pray for you.

Agree with lyndseyb. Personally, I think if you had committed blasphemy you wouldn't be concerned about it. (if a believer isn't concerned, it doesn't mean they have though). As lyndseyb says, it's about our hearts.

Hi mate,

You can't out sin God. I have written a big article on the unpardonable sin at Is there an unpardonable sin, what is blasphemy of the holy spirit. read it to see what scripture says. I for one say you are forgiven.

God is with you when you pray
God will carry you to the final day
Fear not that you may fall
Jesus has already given his all
Forgiveness for every sin
His spirit planted with in

Thank you so much for this article.
I have bookmarked it so that I have it for future reference in case my own obsessive fears over this sin appear.

Are you still struggling with fear over this sin?
One tip I forget to tell you during my experience of this fear is that it is important to learn how to forgive yourself also! I felt convicted of my sin for so long and eventually realised it was me - not god - making myself feel like that because I couldn't move on. Once I learned to forgive myself I was finally blessed with peace.
I hope this helps you.

You want less stress?

Remember that just because the unpardonable sin is unforgivable, it is not unforgettable.

Learning to forget is hard, but you have to forget all sin anyway.
