The bible says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable.
There are a LOT of interputations of what it is.
I believe it is the continually rejection of Jesus and his Holy Spirit.
What do you think? A lot of people have opinions, and entire religions have different beliefs about it.

I agree. Total, repeated, informed rejection of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Blasphemy -Greek; gross irreverence to God, a sin against the virtue of religion by which we render to God the Honor He deserves.
Things that defile man.
I believe it is the continually rejection of Jesus & His Holy Spirit,as you do. I believe we can grieve the Holy Spirit,and the Spirit will not always strive with man, to accept Christ as Lord. I believe this continual rejection,is unpardonable as it is complete rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

You are correct. The unpardonable sin for someone who has never received Christ is to continually reject Jesus and the Holy Ghost until the day of death.
The unpardonable sin for the Chrisitan is found in Hebrews 6:4-10. It involves defecting from the faith. But the kicker is that to commit this sin, a Christian must first meet four qualifications clearly set forth in the clause itself.
Not all Christians qualify. But once this "escape clause" is leveraged, there is no turning back. That individual cannot be "renewed unto repentence" and The finality clause.in Hebrews 10:26-7 applies.

According to what the holy scriptures say, you are correct. Blaspheming and grieving the holy spirit is unforgiveable and very dangerous. This is the only sin mentioned in the bible that is unpardonable.
"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 (Jesus Christ), it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, niether in this world, neither in the world to come (Mattew 12:31&32 KJV).
"And grieve not the holy spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption"( Ephesions 4:30 KJV).

The Bible teaches us in Mark 3:22 that blasphemy is declaring Satan sent Christ. "And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.” They were convinced the power Christ used to cast out devils and heal people came from Satan himself.
Christ speaking about blasphemy in Matthew 12:32 says "...it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
Now, a person has to do more than just say Jesus was sent by Satan to commit blasphemy. That person truly has to believe it.
The fact that a person is worried about commiting blasphemy is a sign that you have not commited blasphmey.

The new testament states that its when someone said Jesus cast out evil spitits by the prince of flies (beelzebub) that the blasphemy was made.
The Holy Spirit is the one that convinces of sins and of jugement, as long as one wants to repent and follow Jesus there is no blasphemy!

This sin occurs after someone receives the Gift of the Holy Ghost and then apostatizes and denies the faith.

Jesus said that he came to confound people. He wanted to confuse people, to turn parent against child - he said so himself.
If you really were to accept Jesus, you would sell all you have and give the money to the poor. But, alas, you are content to belong the fan club, it calms your conscience, your ego feels good at belonging, you are better than others, you can look down your nose at them, but you are too scared to actually live and follow in Jesus' footsteps.
Preach you, hollow preacher, preach on.

I believe Jesus taught tolerance and acceptance? When the romans hurt him, did he call them blasphemers? He was a great man, and his memory is disgraced by things like this, things that condemn others when he said "love thy neighbor", not damn thy neighbor.

The argument about the trinity has been going on for at least a thousand years. Will you solve the riddle this evening?.
