Is cursing God an unforgivable sin?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by cursing God. If, by that, you mean inserting the word "God" before an explative (it doesn't have to be profane), no. Although that is a sin (using the Lord's name in vain), it is not blasphemy against God, which is the only unforgivable sin defined in the bible.

Blasphemy against Jesus is a sin, but even that is forgivable (Mathew 12;31-32).

"31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would be something akin to declaring that the Holy Spirit (God) is actually Satan, or one of his demons. Or saying that God is evil.

Answer 2

I always heard it was, but today I was reading in John and he said there is one, but didn't say what it was. Job's wife tried to get him to curse God and die, and he wouldn't. I can't imagine someone who would be so foolish,no child of God would ever do such a thing. At the same time, you think of Peter the night he denied Jesus three times, he cursed, and swore he didn't know Him. He was forgiven, and was a leader of the apostles until he was crucified. In one of the Gospels both of the other guys on the other crosses was cursing Him, but then the one said he was sorry and asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus told him "today, you will be with me in Paradise" Everybody was a sinner before they were saved. Everybody has a past. I believe Jesus forgives anything if you really are sorry and ask Him to forgive you. I would think the unforgivible sin would be unbelief. Also remember when He said it'd be better to tie a millstone around your neck and jump in the middle of the ocean than to cause a little one to stumble? Telling children there is no God is pretty bad, or causing a young person to sin. I think the unforgivible sin would be unbelief. Sorry this is so long.......

Answer 3

Its not unforgivable but doesn't mean you should go and ahead and curse him either. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. Example of the sin, Jw's deny the holy spirit and call him a active force which is unforgivable because we need God's presence in order to enter his kingdom without him no man can enter or saying Christ is getting his powers from satan and not from God, rejecting Him.

Answer 4

Cursing God is a sin, but it is forgivable if you repent and ask for forgiveness. The only sin that is unforgivable according to the Bible is the sin against the Holy Spirit. That is when you refuse to believe in the Saving Power of God. We must always remember that Jesus Christ died for everyone of us and waits for our return when we have strayed from Him. He paid a huge ransom for our Salvation so He definitely wants us to be saved. We make the choice to send ourselves to Hell by stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that there is a God. God will not ever put us in Hell Himself.

*** g03 2/8 pp. 12-13 Is There an Unforgivable Sin? ***

The Bible’s Viewpoint

Is There an Unforgivable Sin?

IS THERE a punishment worse than death? Yes, death without the hope of a resurrection because one has committed an unforgivable sin. Jesus said that there is a type of sin that “will not be forgiven.”—Matthew 12:31.

The Bible, however, describes God as being forgiving. Although men can be prone to hold a grudge and withhold forgiveness, God ‘forgives in a large way.’ (Isaiah 55:7-9) In fact, at great cost to himself, God sent his dear Son to earth to be a propitiatory, or covering, sacrifice so valuable that it could blot out our sins.—John 3:16, 17; Acts 3:19; 1 John 2:1, 2.

In due time God will resurrect many who have been guilty of serious sins but who will no longer be accountable for their past actions. (Acts 24:15; Romans 6:23) In fact, Jesus said that with the exception of the unforgivable sin, “every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven.” (Matthew 12:31) So you may wonder, ‘What could be so terrible that it is unforgivable by God?’

Past the Point of Repentance

Jesus’ warning referred to willful and deliberate “blasphemy against the spirit.” There is no acquittal for this type of sin. “No, not in this system of things nor in that to come,” he added. (Matthew 12:31, 32) Those guilty of such sin will not be resurrected.

What is blasphemy against the spirit? It emanates from the heart, revealing a malicious attitude and intent. The purposeful intent to oppose God’s holy spirit intensifies the seriousness of this sin. To illustrate: In some parts of the world, the law distinguishes between murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree on the basis of intent and the way the murder was committed, and it limits capital punishment (death) to intentional or premeditated murder.

The apostle Paul was formerly a blasphemer but said: “I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant.” (1 Timothy 1:13) To sin against the holy spirit is to oppose it willfully. It involves a wicked heart condition that reaches the point of no return.

Paul was evidently referring to this kind of sin when he wrote: “It is impossible as regards those who have once for all been enlightened, and who have tasted the heavenly free gift, and who have become partakers of holy spirit, and who have tasted the fine word of God and powers of the coming system of things, but who have fallen away, to revive them again to repentance.” (Hebrews 6:4-6) The apostle also said: “If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left.”—Hebrews 10:26.

It was the conduct of some religious leaders in his day that prompted Jesus to warn against the unforgivable sin. But they did not heed his warning. In fact, they had him killed. Later they heard undeniable evidence that the holy spirit had done something miraculous. They were told that Jesus had been brought back from the dead! It was clear that Jesus was the Christ! Still, they acted wickedly against the holy spirit by paying the Roman soldiers to lie about Jesus’ resurrection.—Matthew 28:11-15.

We don't choose GOD, GOD chooses US ! But If a person were to be as foolish as to curse God, then it's most likely The Devil, or 1 of his Angels, Satan has Apostles, just like how Jesus his few chosen.

Answer 8

No, the only unforgivable sin is turning your back on God and denying him..

Answer 9

The word unforgivable is not the right term, but attached to the commandment to not take the Lord's Name in vain is the statement that the "Lord will not hold Him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain." Its not unforgivable but it carried consequences to it and would be best if you didn't do it.

Answer 10

No because people do it all the time. The only unforgivable sin is that you don't accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, if you commit this sin, your punishment is hell.
