~ The Only Unforgivable Sin ~

[timothy10]

The unpardonable sin of Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit -

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. ( Luke 12:10 )

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. ( Mark 3:28-30 )

oh we do have a sense of humor.....it's just that some thing are not to be taken lightly or joked about...that is if one truly fears our Creator and has reverence for Him.

I believe you are right. It is unforgiveable to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. People should be careful about what they say. God will judge everything we say!

[CrownedWarrior]

if thats the case alot of us are doomed for hell

I'll admit this is something that has really had me scared. During times of rebellion towards God I have had some REALLY terrible thoughts. I used to have panic attacks alot because of it. But it seems to be that at those times were when I was attemtping to draw nearer to God, that these blasphemous thoughts would hit me more.

[Laodicea]

1 John 1:9
(9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Luke 7:30
(30) But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Luke 9:22
(22) Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
Luke 17:25
(25) But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
Matthew 12:24-32
(24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
(25) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
(26) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
(27) And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
(28) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
(29) Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
(30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
(31) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
(32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

whoever is concerned if he has commited that sin is becasue he hasnt commited that , because he fears God , he cares about it. God knows our hearts and HE IS just , only He knows who will be willing to go to Him or reject Him deliberately. the Holy Spirit is who draws people to God and the most beautiful thing , to keep resisting it is something that i don't understand, so we should always pray for those whose hearts are still hard.

this is from a website:

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—He is seated at the right hand of God. 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.

The blasphemy of the Spirit today, which is the same as the unpardonable sin, is the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. Continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s promptings to trust in Jesus Christ is the unpardonable blasphemy against Him.

Those are very good points and there are others who believe as you do. However, consider the possibility that the works of the ministry (Eph 4:12) that are accomplished in the church (God's household, Eph 2:19-22) through the Holy Spirit and obedience to the word are also those things that have been ordained by God through Jesus Christ as the head of the church (Eph 2:10). As head, Christ is involved in that work and it is going to take faith through the word and the operation of grace through the Holy Spirit to accomplish those works.

The major work of the ministry of the church is to build up and edify the body of Christ and to seek out lost souls in all the world through preaching the glorious gospel. This work is to be continuous and the Holy Spirit leads and guides in that work. The Holy Spirit also brings conviction into the sinner's heart so that they might believe the gospel. If this work in any way is referred to as a work of the devil or one that is done by an unclean spirit, you would have to consider that to be slanderous. The word blaspheme means 'to slander'.

If a person has been involved in drugs through rebellion and has been overtaken by them, there is a good chance that demons have been involved. Satan is a murderer from the beginning and he goes around seeking whom he can devour and those involved in that drug scene become a place for demons to inhabit. If these demons can get any of those involved to give place to them, they will enter in and raise havoc. If we are obeying God by faith and are filled with the Spirit and we meet up with one who has been possessed by a demon and through God's grace, we cast out the demon, that would be a testimony of the power of God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

If anyone who is religious would call that work of the Spirit a work of the devil, claiming God does not operate that way, could that possibly be blasphemy against the Spirit? If a group of people continually speak evil of a Spirit-filled ministry that is bearing much fruit in all the world, could that be considers slanderous and a form of blasphemy against the Spirit that is doing the work through that ministry?

These are things to consider along with the following passage...

Mt 10:24-28 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered , that shall not be revealed ; and hid, that shall not be known . 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
