A biblical question?

Question

In the bible, it says that blasphemy against the Holy spirit is the only unforgivable sin. It also says that each man has committed almost every sin in his mind.
So do we commit blasphemy in our mind, thus sentencing us to hell?
Serious answers please....no heckling God

Answer 1

no this takes a very personal and committed choice,
at time we all get upset at God and he does understand.
being mad at God is not blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

First, let me say that the things we do in the flesh that people call sin is in reality the "fruits" of the sin nature, all humans possess. It's an inherited condition.

To blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is to deny his powers at work. Now the Holy Ghost is God. He's call the Spirit of God. So, to deny the Holy Ghost is the same as denying God, that was working through Jesus. And this we have all done at one time or another.

Blasphemy

In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in Psalms 74:18; Isaiah 52:5; Romans 2:24; Revelation 13:1,6; 16:9,11,21.

It denotes also any kind of calumny, or evil-speaking, or abuse (1 Kings 21:10; Acts 13:45; 18:6, etc.).

Our Lord was accused of blasphemy when he claimed to be the Son of God (Matthew 26:65; Compare Matthew 9:3; Mark 2:7).

Also, they who deny Jesus Messiahship blasphemed Jesus (Luke 22:65; John 10:36).

So, here we see there are various ways to blaspheme.

Personally. I believe to blasphemy the Holy Ghost, is rejecting his convicting power that leads to Salvation.

Where one feels his powers pricking their hearts, for the need of Salvation, and they reject him and turn away from him.

Until he is no longer sent to that individual, and they die in their sins.

The Bible tells us that the carnal mind is an enmity against God.

Notice what Jesus says in Mark 7:20-22; For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, "blasphemy" pride, foolishness:

The danger is what proceeds from the heart, and not the mind.

Answer 3

LUKE 12:10, "And everyone that says a word against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven; But he that blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
MARK 3:29, "Whoever blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of everlasting sin."
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".The definition of Blasphemy is expressing a lack of reverence. It is the showing of disrespect toward something sacred. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit occurs when a person who knows better rejects the Word of God which the Holy Spirit is attempting to bring into the heart of that person. Hence this rejection or this refusal is telling the Holy Spirit that what he is trying to bring into the person's heart is not being believed, that it's not worth the effort or the time to even look into it or study it, that the very Word of God is not important, and that the beliefs and teachings of Jesus Christ are being rejected.

if you think itin yourmind u are still doing it!!!!

Answer 4

The key is almost every sin. Whether or not any given person has committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in their mind can only be answered individually. For me the answer is no.

On a side note, upon reading some responses, I want to clarify that God did not create a world where children suffer. He created people, and he gave them free will. This life is part of our journey, not our destination, every one of us goes through trials and tribulations, we are tested here, both to help build our faith, and to prove our faith.

Answer 5

The apostle Paul showed the basic meaning of bla·sphe·mi′a by using the related Greek verb bla·sphe·me′o at Romans 2:24

Blasphemy includes the act of claiming the attributes or prerogatives of God, or ascribing these to another person or thing. The Jewish religious leaders accused Christ Jesus of blasphemy because he said that the sins of certain persons were forgiven, and they tried to stone him as a blasphemer because of his declaring himself to be God’s Son. When Jesus made a statement to the Sanhedrin concerning God’s purpose toward him and the high position to be granted him, the high priest ripped his garments and accused Jesus of blasphemy, for which Jesus was condemned as worthy of death. Having no authority from the Romans to implement the death sentence, the Jewish religious leaders shrewdly changed their accusation of blasphemy to that of sedition when taking Jesus before Pilate.

Since Jesus was God’s Son and direct representative, the things spoken against him may also properly be defined as blasphemy. (Lu 22:65) So, too, since the holy spirit or active force emanates from God and is intimately connected with God’s person, Jesus could speak of “blasphemy against the spirit.” This is stated to be the unforgivable sin. Blasphemy is shown to originate within one’s heart; hence the heart condition, manifest in the willfulness involved, must relate to such blasphemy against the spirit. The incident that led to Jesus’ statement concerning the unpardonableness of such sin demonstrates that it refers to opposing the operation of God’s spirit. This would not be because of deception, human weakness, or imperfection; but the opposition would be willful and deliberate. The Pharisees clearly saw God’s spirit at work in Jesus to accomplish good, yet for selfish reasons they attributed this power to Beelzebub, Satan the Devil, thereby blaspheming God’s holy spirit.

Stephen was martyred on a charge of blasphemy. Paul, as Saul, had been a blasphemer and had tried to force Christians to make “a recantation” (literally, “to blaspheme”). However, upon becoming a disciple himself, he suffered blasphemous contradictions from the Jews, and in Ephesus his teaching was possibly labeled by certain elements as blasphemous against the goddess Artemis.

Answer 6

Remember that the teaching about the blasphemy came on the heels of the Pharisees accusing Christ of casting out devils by the power of beelzebub. They knew He was exercising the power of God, but they accused Him of being possessed. He warned them about not blaspheming, but I don't think He told them they were going to hell on the spot; in fact, why give the warning at all if there is no hope to recover from it?

Answer 7

Allah doesnt account us for our thoughts. Even if u planned to do evil but didnt do and later asked for pardon from God, He will forgive u.
if u beleive in Bible u have 2 encounter things like original sin. did Adam ask me b4 committing the sin so why shou;d i be held responsible.
But in Isiah u read - the son will not bear the evil o the father nor shall the father bear the evil o the son. which clearly abases the phenomenon of Original Sin

Answer 8

It says a lot of things in the Bible, including the punishment of death for certain violations of the Ten Commandments. It also says that a bull should be sacrificed if you have an affair, so if I have an affair, should I throw a barbecue? The Bible was written in the Bronze Age - things have changed a bit since then... act accordingly.

Answer 9

Did you deny God, or are you simply questioning his existence? "Not you, but metaphorical question."
If you were a Father and told your son, he is no longer your son, That is the same as knowing God, and saying he is not your God.
For our sins, Jesus was sent, our redeemer, our teacher.
He was sent to bring us to know and accept our Father in Heaven.
But, I was forgiven, and I committed the same sin because I would be forgiven again?
Would that not also be equivalent to blasphemy.

The big verdict comes not from, lack of knowledge, but from full knowledge while committing the evils.
If God knows our minds and we are our own judges, then would it not be the inward mind, and not the outward actions.
A sinner gains knowledge, then gives what is in them to give freely. Go forth and sin no more.

Answer 10

The Messiah

Prior to the appearance of Jesus, belief in the coming of the Messiah has been a basic and fundamental part of traditional Judaism. It is part of Maimonides’ Thirteen Articles of Faith which are considered the minimum requirements of Jewish belief.[5] In the Shemoneh Esrei prayer[6], recited three times daily, modern Jewry prays for the Messiah who will be their king from the line of David to come and restore the glories of its golden age. In Hebrew, ‘Messiah’ means the ‘anointed one.’ It is interesting to note that the Old Testament prophecy emphasizes the humanity of the Messiah by referring to him as the “son of man” (Daniel 7: 13)[7] and not God.

The ideology of the Messiah has a central position in Christian theology. According to the Bible, Jesus claimed to be the expected Messiah of the Jews (John 4:25-26)[8], but they rejected him. Therefore, Christians apply ‘Christ’ - the Greek word for ‘Messiah’ - to Jesus. In addition, they also maintain the Messiah will be the son of God.

The Quran corrects Jews and Christians in their excesses. It considers the Jews to be in the right in believing the Messiah to be human, but equates their rejection of Jesus to disbelief,

“And (We cursed them) for their disbelief… and their boastful claim: Indeed, we have killed the [so-called] Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God. And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him.” (Quran 4:156-157)

On the other hand, the Quran agrees with the Christians who identify Jesus to be the Messiah, but considers their insistence that the Messiah is the son of God to be blasphemy:

“Indeed, they are unbelievers who say, ‘God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.’” (Quran 5:72)

The truth, according to the Quran, is that:

“The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger; messengers before him had indeed passed away.” (Quran 5:75)

Furthermore, the Quran states that the Messiah called to the worship of “the true God” like all the prophets before him:

“But the Messiah said, ‘O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.’” (Quran 5:72)

The Quran refers to Jesus as the Messiah (al-Maseeh) at least nine times.[9] One of the explanations given by Muslim lexicographers is that Jesus was the Messiah because he anointed the eyes of the blind to cure them (Quran 3:43; Mark 6:13; James 5:14), or because he used to lay hands on the sick.
