Mark 3 explains this the clearest.

29 but whoever slanders the Ruach haKodesh never has release, but is guilty of an eternal sin!”
30 For they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

so clearly the unforgivable sin is not rejecting God because they have a lifetime to still accept Him. but it is calling the Holy Spirit unclean/demonic.
 
Young or immature seekers of God, should not worry about blasphemy.
Learn about God with all your heart and soon you will know him and understand his words not only concerning blasphemy, but concerning his will for your life.

Much older Christians who have seen the glory of God and have experienced his grace, are in a different boat. Jesus will come knocking at their door at the appointed time, in fact at the perfect time, (sometimes called the time of refreshing (N.T.) or the time of visitation (O.T.) and their fate will be sealed at that time. Either hell bound or heaven bound. Only God knows this time of visitation, so you need to have patience in your serving him aright non-stop.

Unfortunately for many the above description does not apply as the bible states that many are called but few are chosen. Meaning that many people's search for God will be futile because of their insincerity and their affinity for subscribing to false prophets and the like. They are of corrupt seed, even though they talk the talk and appear to walk the walk.

Sorry about that. I thought they were your own words, and the link was to something else.
My bad.
 
Psalms 34 truly depicts the manner in which we are to serve God, by proving for ourselves firsthand that God is and that he is what he says he is.

In Isaiah 32:2 (up to verse 8) is a general reference to how God works through men. The oracles of God was first given to men (servants of God) and those who sought refuge in God would utilize the services of these chosen men, whether they were kings or prophets or priests or others.

To every positive thing, there is always an opposite and negative thing, ex. good/bad, light/darkness and thus we can see that God is sovereign over all of them. To one He leads them down the paths of righteousness and to the other he leads them down the pathway of death based on the condition of their hearts.

This passage could also point to the coming of Jesus Christ into the world.

In almost all cases esp. in the O.T. , he uses men to represent him in order to accomplish his will, but today that method is moot. The only man through whom we would go to God is called the Word of God, Jesus Christ, and is available to all men 24/7.

God is infinite in everything, and while we are limited and can only see in one or two dimensions, God does things (eg. millions of things in a split second, making their interactions seemless and perfect)

Thus whenever we read the bible we will never fathom the depths of God's ways in one sitting or even in a million sittings and it is God's Spirit who reveals everything to us.
