This is kind of a good outlet for me in this case.

There is a sin that I constantly struggle with which I won't repeat right now since those who know me most likely know what it is. I was dealing with it yesterday and failing, and when I was in the middle of committing the sin I had a thought of relying on God to get it done.

I froze. I panicked. I prayed not only for God to forgive me and that I never do that sin again, but also that God forgive me for ever thinking He was ever affiliated with something like that. It's not true, it's never been true, it will never be, and I was horrified.

I sat there, wondering if in that moment I had committed the unforgivable sin. Blaspheming the holy spirit is that, but I don't think so. Yet here I am still wondering in my brain, "did I!?!" I think part of me knows I didn't and God has forgiven me, and hopefully that horrible moment will be the thing to let me cold turkey and never do that sin again.

I just would like prayer that, when I do have a sin I commit, that I don't immediately go back to the unforgivable sin worry. It's bad enough doing something so egregious, let alone wondering if you're doomed for eternity to boot.

I think the unforgivable sin is not accepting Christ. I am in that fear every day. He came to me and Idid not recognize Him.

No the unforgivable sin is rejecting Christ----- Jesus warned the Pharisees about this because they were calling the Works of the Holy Spirit---- the devil's work----- of course if you reject the Spirit--- you can' t be led to Christ----- continue to believe God for victory in your situation---- He loves you and has forgiven you...

My dear the unforgivable sin of blaspheming the holy spirit is to completely reject him and the die sadly once death takes us we no longer can accept him. we all make mistakes and fall at some point or another some much more than others because for some the ability not to sin does not come so naturally it is usually these people such as myself who need assurance from others and need to be encouraged to stay strong and to believe his words when he says we are forgiven.

Believe me I have been there

In a way, the only unforgiveable sin is not asking for forgiveness

If you had really committed the unforgiveable sin you wouldn't be worried about it.

Lord, bind that which tempts, and silence that which condemns.

One can initially reject God.. A lot of unbelievers who first hear about God think it is just a delusional fantasy only believed by morons.. They have been programed by society to look upon God as just a myth.. But later through the experiences in life and the leading of the Holy Spirit they come to accept the Love of the Truth and are saved... So in no way is it an unforgivable sin to reject God.. It is forgivable right up until the moment of ones death.

[h=1]Matthew 12:31-32 (KJV)[/h] 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.

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.

In the context, Jesus healed the blind and mute man but the religious pharisees said the devil healed the man. The pharisees had blasphemed the Holy spirit as described by Jesus. In other words, blasphemy against the Holy spirit is crediting the works of God to the devil and the work of the devil to God.
