Josh my brother, Our God is a loving caring and forgiving God to those who are truly sorry for offending Him. He's a benevolent parent. What's done in the past cannot be undone , but it may have a positive effect if we learn from it and grow. You are different now from then. Look on today as the first day of the rest of your life my brother

Do you believe what, why,and who Jesus is from the stories in the bible?

orangeness365 · Sep 24, 2015

I'm not sure what blasphemy of the spirit is, but in the context of the passage, I would say that it is attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to really be of satan. the other passages on that site are referring to backsliding. It warns that it is really dangerous to have once been a devout Christian and then backslide into unbelief, I think. I've done that personally though, I grew up as a Christian and then spent a year as an atheist, but I came back to the faith later. It also talks about constant, deliberate sin being dangerous too. I think you can still repent though if you come back to Christianity after that. I don't know. I'm a little confused about the subject myself.

Brother we all make mistakes. Don't let people tell you that you are going to hell because of a joke. If you do love Jesus you can ask Him for forgiveness and He will forgive you.

Hi there Josh. I feel a bit sorry for this, naturally this has followed from my suggestion to research sin. It's just normal, when we come to really know how serious the consequences of sin are, to be afraid. It is an indication too though that you really do not have the nature of someone who wants to sin, as far as this sin goes. If you were of that nature, instead of being afraid for having realised what you did is wrong, you would be getting into a mindset that what you have done is OK, and then trying to convince yourself that it is OK. There's a link I will find for you after I type this (on iPad), where ViaCrucis described that sin perfectly. Look a bit further too, observe this, which was particularly interesting for my own sin:

In Roman Catholic moral theology, a sin considered to be more severe or mortal is distinct from a venial sin and must meet all of the following conditions:

Its subject must be a grave (or serious) matter.
It must be committed with full knowledge, both of the sin and of the gravity of the offense.
It must be committed with deliberate and complete consent, enough for it to have been a personal decision to commit the sin.[4]

In the case of sin I had been convicted of, what I noticed was that consideration 2 had some considerable effect. This effectively means that even though my sin was grave and deliberate, that a lack of understanding of the gravity lent itself toward my deliberate actions. Yet, as soon as I became educated about the gravity of the sin, repentance became effective, and through what I recognise as perfect contrition, this repentance has been effective at restoring in me, the salvation, the life that we can have when we remain in Christ.

I will go now and find that link for you..

Here is that link. Just while being on the tablet it was easier to finish typing first:

Josh, calm down buddy. The Lord is your father and loves you, he wants only the best for you and isn't about to throw you away because you use to be a bonehead. Gods capability for compassion and love are endless, you popped off a little and said something's you shouldn't have but Gods a tough guy he's not a drama queen who will hold on to any of the dumb things you said.

Just pray dude, honestly, quietly pray with all your heart. Find a nice quiet place and have a good talk with God and Jesus, tell them you love them, your sorry and that you need them in your life. Pray every day, why not pray twice a day, it's really calming.

The only people I know that God will never forgive are my mother in law and Richard Dawkins....just kidding Richard will be forgiven but my mother in law is still going to hell.

So Josh, relax. God Loves you, Jesus loves you and if you aren't voting democrat I love you (and God and Jesus love you more as they don't like Democrats). So calm down and do some praying and get back to us here and let us know how your doing.

Steven Wood · Sep 26, 2015

Hey bub. Don't worry. Most people think that's the unforgivable sin but it isn't blaspheme of the Holy spirit really doesn't have anything to do with words it's defiling and rejecting the holy spirit. Before it really wasn't possible but it's happening now in these times. It's cloning, ai, in upcoming times transfer of consciousness into robotics a.k.a. transhumanism. It sounds untrue but the Bible talks about it. Blaspheming is also to put yourself as GOD which is what someone tries to do with immortality through transhumanism. The Holy spirit is GOD but also a part of GOD. It is the breath of life that he breathed into Adam and the spirit that fell upon Mary. It is OUR spirit and soul not our consciousness. When we get to the point that we're able to transfer thoughts we stop having the spirit that is GOD and we become pure self. That is rejecting and spitting in the face of GOD, saying that we reject the eternal life he gives us and that we think we can get something better on our own which just isn't true. You're safe buddy. Just ask for forgiveness and really don't do it again. Learn from it.

terryjohn · Sep 29, 2015

The only unforgivable sin is unbelief. Christ even prayed for forgiveness for those who crucified him how much more for you who did not know what you were doing?

jenny1972 · Sep 29, 2015

In Matthew 12:31-32, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by the demon “Beelzebub” (Matthew 12:24). Now notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what they did to commit “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.”

This blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. As a result, this particular incidence of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth. No one can witness Jesus Christ performing a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. The closest example today would be attributing the miracle of a redeemed person’s changed life to Satan’s power rather than to the effects of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Remember what is stated in John 3:16: “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.” Further on in the same chapter is the verse “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him” (John 3:36). The only condition wherein someone would have no forgiveness is if he is not among the “whoever believes in Him,” for it is he who “rejects the Son.”

SarahsKnight · Sep 29, 2015

I remember reading that article a few times back when I was feeling a little apprehension over the unforgivable sin, too. J0sh, I strongly suggest you try reading this, too, and letting it sink in.

ViaCrucis · Sep 29, 2015

Short answer: if you're worried you've committed the "unpardonable sin" then you haven't.

Long answer: The general consensus among Christian exegetes and theologians across the Christian spectrum tends to agree that the unpardonable sin isn't any one single act, it's not saying something blasphemous or whatever, it's what happens when a person over the course of a lifetime knowingly and actively rejects the Holy Spirit, in particular since it is the Holy Spirit who leads us and brings us to faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit's activity brings us to Jesus.

The unpardonable sin is not unpardonable because God is unable or unwilling to forgive it (there is no sin God will not or is unable to forgive; Christ died for the sins of the whole world therefore ALL sin is forgiven in Jesus). It is unpardonable because it involves a rigid, intentional, and uncompromising wholesale rejection of God's forgiveness. That is to say, the person who commits this sin is the person who, at the end of their days standing before God, and if God were to say to them, "I forgive you, I love you, enter freely into the life I have for you forever" they would say no and walk away.

Hence the short answer, that if you're worried then you can rest assured that you haven't committed it. You can't get away from God's love, mercy, and compassion toward you so easily as by saying a couple mean things about God. He's a lot more stubborn than you give Him credit for.

Jesus tells us about a good shepherd who has flock of a hundred lambs, when one little lamb gets lost the good shepherd leaves the 99 and searches long and far, high and low until he has secured that one lost lamb.

Jesus tells us about a father who has two sons, the younger son tells his father that he wants his inheritance early, and the father gives it to him. The son then leaves and goes and squanders his inheritance and ends up completely broke, and one day finds himself living with pigs and eating the pig slop given to pigs. Disgraced, broke, in rags, with nothing and trying to find a way to plead to his father to be taken back he journeys home. Before he reaches home the father has heard word that his lost son is returning, and so the father drops everything and runs to meet and take his son in his arms and tells all his servants to throw the biggest and most luxurious feast, for his son who was as dead has come back to him.

Do not think too lightly of grace. For whatever strength you attribute to your sin, grace is stronger--always stronger.

The religious leaders told Jesus that He cast out demons by the power of satan. That is blasphemy. To deny the holy spirits power. Saying that the precious Son of God was evil and did His good works by demons. You don't have anything to worry about. It is unforgivable to deny the Son of God and will surely send one to hell.

newhopeinHim · Nov 3, 2015

Thank you oi_antz

TheJust · Nov 8, 2015

Don't worry everything you believe is meaningless and the truth is far greater and merciful then you could possibly fathom. God is the eternal state of reality, it does nothing for anyone but wait for your decision to return. Everyone creates their own hell by choice, it is their own illusions they chose to replace God with and therefore almost everyone goes threw purgatory because very few choose to seek the truth with conviction before death, when there is no other choice.

aspiring Berean · Nov 8, 2015

Well, unbelief is a sin we've all committed at some time in our life. There would be no hope for any of us if this was unforgivable. Jesus is able to cleanse us and convert us from unbelief, and to help us when, like Thomas, we doubt . (Mark 9:24)

God commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). The important thing is to turn from our sins to Christ. Christ won't cast out those who come to Him (John 6:36, 1 John 1:9-10). If you seek salvation from Christ as He commands you to, in His Word, He will save you and forgive your sins. In which case, you can't have committed the unpardonable sin. If you refuse to go to Christ, you're treasuring up wrath (Romans 2:4-6) to face on judgment day.

The best thing to do, clearly, is to go to Christ in repentance and faith, seeking His forgiveness and you will find it.

Hawkins · Nov 11, 2015

Jesus makes it clear that the blasphemy that will not be forgiven is not the mere formation of words or thoughts, or deeds done in ignorance, but rather a hardened form of opposition that attributes the works of God’s Spirit to Satan, and thereby rejects God’s salvific offer in Jesus.

- College Press NIV Commentary

SnowyMacie · Nov 11, 2015

The most important thing I've ever learned blasphemy of the holy spirit is that if you're worried you you've done it, you have not.

Truthseeker1971 · Nov 12, 2015

Brother, please, be at peace. The sin of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost Jesus applied to the so called leaders of the Jewish church, who claimed to know God, yet with God standing before them in the person of Jesus Christ, they were telling him that He was possessed of a demon.

God never lays that charge against those who do not know God. God forgives you for sinning in ignorance. I assure you with all confidence if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, He will forgive you for I promise you sinned in ignorance.

I should have added too, that simply calling the Holy Spirit dumb or stupid isn't blaspheming the Spirit. The Pharisees committed true blasphemy because they called the holy Ghost a devil

I'm scared please help.
