Absolutely...if you come with a sincere repentance from the heart and and ask forgiveness in the name of Jesus your sin is erased and forgotten.

This is a great question. Why did Jesus have to suffer and die to forgive our sins?
The answer is not in the forgiveness of sin, but in the need to pay the debt for the sin. We incur a debt when we sin. Every sin incurs the same debt. It is death...eternal destruction...endless death, for the soul of man never dies. God's love for us is witnessed in that He willingly took on the flesh of a man for the purpose of becoming our substitute and dying the death we owe for our sin. It was His choice and now is His gift for all who will accept it.

Why can the debt Not be paid for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

If he forgives as the word forgives means, then why should someone has to go through sufferings, afflictions, pains, crucifixion and death for my sins which he did not commit?
