Sin is an outdated concept. Religion uses the concept of sin to instill guilt in the converts. It also uses the concept of prayer to make that guilt more personal.

You are human, so you will have human thoughts. And just because the church says it is bad does not make it bad. The church is a poor moral guide.

If you have remorse in your heart about any fault you have committed, then trust me, you have not committed the unforgivable sin. You should pray not just for forgiveness, though, but for grace to overcome your problem.

No, you are not blaspheming the Holy Ghost. You are being tormented by the devil, so remember it is his thoughts about God, not yours.
Imagine a person knocking on your door at your house. You open it and he tries to shove past you and enter your home.....would you let him do that?
You would stop him, right?
Do that to Satan when he tells you a bad thought about God trying you make you believe it is you and not him saying it.
Your mind is yours, the space you take up in the world is all yours, so take contol of your thoughts and God will help you.
Consider how you really think of God and remember that what you think doesn't coincide with what Satan tells you.
May God bless you and deliver you from those fiery darts.

No.
The unforgivable sin is hard to commit.
Very few ever commit it.
You are just being hassled by the devil. It happens to every child of GOD.
Keep on believing in Jesus and ask GOD in Jesus name what to do about these thoughts.
GOD will help you, There not your thoughts.

no you are not committing the unforgivable sin. the unforgivable sin is sin against the holy spirit.

replace with good thoughts everytime you find yourself thinking negative. at first its difficult but later the negative gets less & less. but continue prayer. the lord knows your true heart so you dont sin in this case. try your best. goodluck.

You're kidding, right? What could you do to God that would hurt Him? Whatever thoughts you are having, replace them with thought of thanks for the things that you have that you cherish. For example: food to eat-clothes to wear-place to stay--eyes with which to read this message---and access to a computer. Drop the nonsense thoughts, they are useless.

Many Christians have heard that there is an unpardonable sin and live in dread that something grave that they have done before or after conversion might be that sin. Their fears are unfounded. While there is an unforgivable sin, it is not one which a true believer in Jesus Christ can commit.

The one sin which God cannot forgive is mentioned in Mark 3:28-30 and Matthew 12:31-32. Jesus had been performing miracles, including driving demons out of people by the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of recognizing the source of Jesus' power and accepting Him as God's Son, the religious leaders accused Him of being possessed by the devil and driving demons out in the power of the devil. Jesus responded by saying, "I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

The sin of the religious leaders, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, was a refusal to accept the witness of the Holy Spirit to who Jesus was and what He had come to do, and then submit their lives to Him. Jesus said concerning the Holy Spirit, "When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment" (John 16:8). They chose rather to reject the Spirit's witness to their sin and to Jesus and accused Him of being demon possessed!

The point for us is that if we have received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we have not blasphemed the Holy Spirit; we have accepted His witness. One study Bible explains it as follows: "To commit this sin one must consciously, persistently, deliberately, and maliciously reject the testimony of the Spirit to the deity and saving power of the Lord Jesus." If a person keeps doing that until death, there is no hope of forgiveness and eternal life in heaven. Once again, the unpardonable sin is not some particularly grievous sin committed by a Christian before or after accepting Christ, nor is it thinking or saying something terrible about the Holy Spirit. Rather, it is deliberately resisting the Holy Spirit's witness and invitation to turn to Jesus until death ends all opportunity.

In order to experience God's peace, we must come to Him, trusting His promises. Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." In 1 John 1:9 we read: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Jesus Himself assures us, "Whoever comes to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37). Our God is a compassionate and merciful God. He desires that no one should be lost, but that all should come to salvation through repentance and personal faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord (2 Peter 3:9; Acts 2:21).
You may not be able to control your thoughts, but God can—and He wants to, because evil or immoral thoughts will only lead you astray. The Bible says, "The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are pleasing to him" (Proverbs 15:26).

This is why the first step I urge you to take is to commit your whole life—including your mind—to Jesus Christ. God loves you and wants to remake you from within—but it can't happen as long as you are separated from Him. By faith ask Christ to come into your life today, to forgive your past and help you live the way you should.

Then ask God to cleanse your mind and fill it with good thoughts instead of bad. Simply trying to empty your mind of bad thoughts won't help you; your old thoughts will just keep coming back. But when your mind is filled with Christ and His Word, old ways of thinking get pushed out. The Bible says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). This will happen as you read God's Word and turn to Him in prayer.

When bad thoughts come, learn to practice what I call the "three R's." First, realize they are there, and that they aren't pleasing to God. Second, repent of them, asking God to cleanse you and take them away. Finally, replace them with good thoughts, by deliberately turning your heart and mind to Christ.
