Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

Dear Cindi, the Unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy spirit. But, before you go any further I need to explain exactly what this means. lets look at the verse that speaks of Blapshemy of the spirirt, in context.The pharasees and saducees had Just wittnessed Jesus healing a man, as soon as they saw this, they claimed that he had the spirirt of satan. Now, here is Jesu's response. Matthew 12:31-32 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven."And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the {age} to come. These people had denounced the wittness of the Holy spirirt attributing it to something evil. when one denounces the wittnes of the Holy spirirt to the truth of the Gosplel, they are also resisting the Holy spirirt, which is described as in Matthew 12:31-32. The reason this sin is unforgivable, is because resistence of the Holy spirirt is against repentance and anything leading to repentace. repentance is a neccesity.
God Bless

Answer 3

The unforgivable sin is the one not asked forgiveness for. When you do not repent and ask for forgiveness you are saying that your sin is greater than God's mercy. This is why suicide is known for being an unforgivable sin as you would rather end your life than go to God and do the Penance he would have in store for you. Not all suicides are like this though. Mental illness plays a great part in some and these people are left to the mercy of God who knows their hearts.

Answer 4

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.

Warning to True Christians

Why do true Christians take the warning of the unforgivable sin to heart? Because although we have accurate knowledge of God and of the activity of his spirit, a wicked heart could develop. (Hebrews 3:12) We should be careful not to think that this could never happen to us. Consider Judas Iscariot. He was once a faithful follower of Jesus. He was chosen as one of the 12 apostles, so he must have had good qualities. But at some point he began to let wicked thoughts and desires grow, and they eventually overtook him. During the period of time he was an eyewitness of Jesus’ incredible miracles, he was stealing money. Then, for money, he knowingly betrayed the Son of God.

Some people who were once faithful Christians have purposely drawn away from God, perhaps because of bitterness, pride, or greed, and are now apostate fighters against God’s spirit. They willfully oppose what the spirit is clearly accomplishing. Have these individuals committed the unforgivable sin? Jehovah is the final Judge.—Romans 14:12.

Answer 5

Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Answer 7

Actually of the 613 Commandments, you can break all but TWO of them to save a life. The TWO that you can not break are Worshipping False Gods and Adultery.

Answer 8

I've heard both, but blasphemy, or denying God/ Holy Spirit, is the ultimate sin,

not mass murder, or mass torture, or anything having anything to do with causing harm and destruction to countless OTHERS,
no, your simple quiet thoughts are the absolute WORST thing you could ever do.....

nice thinkin...

Answer 9

According to the Bible, it's denying the holy spirit. But theologians have also included Despair (because that is to deny the holy spirit - if you give up hope you give up on God) and suicide (because that is an articulation of despair).

Answer 10

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which would be blasphemy against God
