Unpardonable Sin

[Progressing Pilgrim]

The other day, I was feeling so worried with fear over the "unpardonable" sin that I took the day off of work. I worked through some things and went back to work the next day. Someone asked me if I was feeling "better". I had been afraid I might be asked something like this, because if I said I was feeling "better", and my experience had been from the Holy Spirit, it might be blaspheming to say yes. But I froze when asked this, and felt so much pressure to say something that I finally blurted out "yeah" and then went on to explain that I'm feeling more comfortable. Later I tried to clarify that I don't know if I would say that I was feeling "better", so much as feeling more comfortable.

But my fear is that I already committed the unpardonable sin. I keep thinking, if Wednesday's experience was from the Holy Spirit, but I said that Thursday was "better", isn't that blaspheming? The thing is, I thought this ahead of time and yet still said "yeah" when asked.

I started working on avoiding compulsions fairly recently, and I think my anxiety has spiked. But this one seems more difficult to dismiss.

The unpardonable sin found in Matthew 12. was not an individual sin a person could commit. It was a national sin that Israel did commit, when they (the leaders of Israel) stated Jesus did not do His miracles by the power of God, but by the power of demons and rejected Jesus as The Promised Messiah.

Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”
Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Blasphemy (unto death-2nd death) It is not a single, careless act, but a state of permanent, continuous rebellious rejection of God’s grace and the Holy Spirit's influence, preventing repentance.
