Unforgiveable sin

[Maria Billingsley]

The scripture talks about the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

What you said is not mentioned at all.

It's actually a doctrine that has been wafting around conservative churches lately to direct people's eyes away from their blaspheming the Holy Spirit against other denominations.

Ok, then what is it?

 

[Maria Billingsley]

But I accept the gospel

YAY!

But I accept the gospel

The important thing to remember is the OCD thoughts don't actually know anything.

And the desire to satisfy the itch with information is part of the vicious cycle.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

According to Jesus, blaspheming the Holy Spirit is observing a work of God, and then saying, this is the work of a demon.

And I also didn't do that

Great news. It's also important to note, that the people who did in the scripture only received a "warning" after doing it twice. So it's up in the air how many times it takes for it to actually happen. Since we're supposed to forgive 7 times 70 and that was hyperbole to always forgive, it's quite possible that no one has ever commited the sin, but I'm not God (who does know the specifics) which is why I say .. it's hard to say.

A good point that tends to be brought up in conversations like this is:

If you feel convicted, the Holy Spirit isn't blasphemed, because it's the Holy Spirit that shines a light on our sins so we can repent of them.

Convicted that you have committed a sin, in this case perhaps you felt really guilty (or mortified) at the thought of committing a sin God wouldn't forgive. The fact that this matters to you, means the Holy Spirit is not blasphemed. Pointing us in the direction that we should go is part of what the Holy Spirit does in our life.

Over the course of my life a a Christian I've thought I've committed the unforgivable sin many times. But then I read John 6:37-40 and just kept reading Gods promise over and over again. "I will lose none." These are BY FAR the best words Jesus has ever spoken. That means that God will not lose me, you, or anyone else who comes to him for salvation with a truly repentant heart. What you're going through is common among Christian's and Jesus says multiple times in the gospel of John that we are eternally secure and have nothing to fear. God who has begun salvation in us will complete it. God has promised.

Well that would be rejecting the Gospel.

hello I wonder if I have done the unforgivable sin. I wanted to say I love the holy spirit but I said I love my holy spirit. I said it more ignorantly and accidentally because now I no longer know exactly how and what I said it and whether I really said it or thought it. I had read somewhere that the unforgivable sin is to claim that you are god or are better of god. I am now a little worried that I have done the unforgivable sin and I really do not want that I love God I love Jesus and the holy spirit. it seems like I said it in a disastrous and accidental way and I didn't mean it. I really love god so much. and i would never really believe that i am better than god.

My considerable study of this topic gave me the conclusion, based on the Bible, that the unforgivable sin is a whole life lived in rebellion against God. At some point, which only God knows, he says that the people should have it their own way. The things you have referred to are not that kind of unbelief.

The fact that it bothers you is a good sign that you have not committed the unforgivable sin. The unforgivable sin is to call the Holy Spirit evil. The Pharisees were claiming that Jesus used Satan's power to cast out demons. Plainly they were wrong and Lord Jesus rebuked them. My understanding is that the sin is unforgivable as long as the person holds to his/her stand that the Holy Spirit is evil. Should they repent, God will forgive at that time.

You have not committed an unpardonable sin. All sin is pardonable. Jesus said "if your brother sins against you many times a day, and returns saying they are sorry, we are to forgive them" - Jesus forgiveness is no different. The cross was a righteous life, given in exchange for our life time of sins, as the bible says "as it is appointed for man to die once, so Jesus died once in the flesh for sin". To read more on this topic go to Is there an unpardonable sin, what is blasphemy of the holy spirit.

You are young. Keep trying. Remember Jesus came to serve. Being a good servant may increase blessings. There may be opportunities in Gospel studies. Hungering for knowledge is a healthy hunger. Wisdom is much knowledge.

Jesus was quite clear about what the unforgivable sin is. It is a deliberate accusation that the power that Jesus used to cast out demons was the power of Satan. What you said didn't come within a bull's roar of that.

UNFORGIVABLE SIN
Unbelief is the unforgivable sin. The reason why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees in regard to blasphemy they rendered to the Holy Spirit was because they did so in unbelief. They needed Jesus to authenticate the influence he was moving in and working under. So they mocked him by saying he was performing the miracles under the influence of baalzebub who was an idol god among the philistines. It provoked Him since comparing God, our Father (YHWH), with an idol is the greatest act of blasphemy especially when coming from a well educated class of the Jews in matters of law and their religion, they well were sure that baal could not at all do the miracles that Jesus did. The law is clear and was to them that you shall not place God in comparison with the idols (You shall not make for yourselves any graven images and you shall not worship them) {All paraphrased}.
So what is my point, just don't beat yourself up because of what you have said. As you grow in CHRIST you will be matured into perfection as your faith grows. Remember Jesus metaphorically used a mastered seed to teach us about faith. When a seed as such is placed on a ground that is conducive for its development it grows into a tree and growth is a process that begins from a tender position to a toughened one with a capacity to produce more fruit and seed. Take heart you have done no sin only keep on believing, read and study the scriptures with Christ in mind and you will be perfected in the grace that he gives.

I was gaming and I just wanted to say I love you but then I suddenly said I love my holy spirit and I said the accident I think. because I don't know exactly how and what I said and I hardly even know if I said or thought it.

How do you know if you have committed the unforgivable sin? If you have, you won't turn back to Jesus. As long as you turn back to Jesus there is forgiveness to be found.
