Wish I was able to work alongside Erin every day, that I would feel like this all the time, rather than just last night =>
I'm sorry God for blasphemimg the Holy Spirit and playing games with my faith. I repent and am now taking a break from this gift and working on the fruit of the Spirit.
Wow, that's crazy. I hope that isn't the case. The theme is eerie because it mirrors some of the things we're experiencing now.
I just saw this in one of my Facebook groups. You can put it on Twitter. *lol
You have about as much chance of committing the unpardonable sin as you do of opening up the emergency door of a plane during flight. You could be at it for days, months, even years - but you'd still never get that door open.
If you rate Him over the enemy then it's an actual impossibility to commit it, no matter how much you convince yourself you've done it. If you're not letting go, then that's OCD - when in which case you need a two prong attack of cognitive behavioural therapy and sound teachings from a trusted pastor. (In fact your turmoil ALREADY rules out the possibility of the unpardonable sin ever being committed.)
Don't come here for advice, this is the worst place to look.

I've never had that perspective on life. But ease can be misleading. I take a lot for granted because effort comes easy for me and I enjoy it.
Results are important. It allows you to gauge your actions to determine if the expense is worthwhile. If we only look at effort you'd have a lot of people working at things and getting nowhere. Competency can't wholly rest on it either. Some people are more efficient, more talented, etc. I don't believe in giving gold stars for showing up.
I've had a few of those scares when I was myself a Christian, even considered killing myself over it.. even though it doesn't really make sense at that point.
It's a dangerously misunderstood sin. It requires immediate action from a pastor, you can't just sit there and panic. It's unnecessary.
Some situations require pastoral involvement. The behavior may be a result of mental health challenges, personal or familial beliefs, or spiritual affliction. They'd assess the case to determine the root cause. Self-deliverance (for spiritual ailments) isn't always an option.
Why? Did you feel they were untrustworthy?
