Blasphemy against the holy spirit.
2006-09-04 11:29:00 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 1⤊ 1⤋
In the book of Matthew, there is an incident where the Pharisees attributed the supernatural works of Jesus to His being posessed by Satan. In doing this, they committed an act that completely discounted His deity, and this sin is what is called the Unpardonable Sin. It was a one-off sin, and would not be possible today, as Jesus will not come back as flesh-and-blood again.
If you are saddened and distressed by sin in your life, you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and your sin is forgiveable. It says in the Word, "Nothing can separate us from the love of God."

Apologists sometime say that blasphemy against the holy spirit was a sin that only worked then or some other random story like that to keep people going to church. Fact is, however, that there is nothing in the bible that says that the unpardonable sin can't be committed in our time or that it needs some special requirement like dying without repenting it. If you read your bible closely, you'll see the unpardonable sin is still in play.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Blaspheming God's Holy Spirit is the unpardonable sin. The Pharisees and the Sadducees did this with the help of asserting that the miracles Jesus did have been finished with the help of the flexibility of devil, relatively than with the help of His Holy Spirit. Denying that Jesus Christ is God's Son is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, because of the fact this is He Who attracts human beings to Christ. given which you do no longer look to disclaim Jesus Christ,His Holy Spirit, nor God the daddy, have you ever believed that Jesus died on your sins? if so, you haven't any longer committed the unpardonable sin.

"Accepting Jesus" is NOT the answer...
Jesus said:
Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants will enter.”
Look in Acts to see what the first Christians were told to do. The answer has not changed:
Acts 2:37 When the people heard this, their hearts were filled with shame. They said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 38 Peter replied, “All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

You can accept Jesus, but this does not accomplish anything. Without obedience to Acts 2:38 you are still in the same state as you always have been.

Not asking for forgiveness as asking for forgiveness is the only way to have your sins pardoned.
