Who can define "blaspheming" the Holy Ghost?

Question

I don't really understand what that means. I am a Christian myself and am a bit paranoid that i've committed that sin (athough i doubt it), so i was wondering if anyone can clarify?

Thanks, and i'm getting tired of non-believers posting offensive comments, so just don't do it. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Act mature. =)

Thanks, and God bless!

Answer 1

John 14:26
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
(KJV)

John 16:7-11
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
(KJV)

When the Holy Spirit convicts a person of sin, and draws them to repentance the person can humble himself to the will of God or blaspheme against Him and reject salvation.

There are cases of people who resisted for a long time, then the conviction ceased. They resisted too long. There were those like Esau who after the fact sought repentance and could not find it.

Rejecting salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, when prompted by the Holy Spirit to do so, is the blasphemy. It can only be done by the unsaved.

You are struggling with your sinful nature. You can get the victory, it just takes time.

Here is a verse of comfort that I have used quite often with good christians like you:


I Jn 3:20
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
(KJV)

Answer 2

I was raised a Christian but when I was a child I never once felt God’s Holy Spirit. When I walked away from Christianity I was walking away from something that never felt entirely real to me anyway.

Now that I have felt God's Spirit in so many different ways, if I were to walk away from every spiritual blessing I’ve received and say I don’t believe any of it, then I would truly be lost. Why? If you can doubt after feeling the love of God’s spirit, nothing will make you believe. You are really lost.

Answer 3

I believe this is saying is that “speaking blasphemy against” the Holy Spirit is like when someone one knowingly and deliberately as a legal witness attributes the works, operations and/or gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Devil or attributes the works, operations of the Devil to the Holy Spirit.


Blessed Be!

Answer 4

The word "blasphemy" is a term that speaks of damnable heresy, not misjudgment. Many because of poor teaching misjudge others— that's forgivable. The Pharisees, on the other hand, went beyond judging to trying to keep others from following Christ. Blasphemy against the Spirit is the absolute, permanent, hateful rejection of the gifts of the Holy Spirit with the motive is to keep others from fully following Christ as well as to keep one's position of power. A person who has committed this sin has no desire for repentance, will divide the body of Christ, judge the salvation of others, and will ultimately die in this state.

Answer 5

For some reason they have been translated in a distinctive way in some places in the Bible yet they are an identical. as properly Jesus stated He would deliver the "Comforter", it somewhat is likewise the Holy Spirit.

Answer 6

Unbelief is the only sin that can not be forgiven, Rejecting the Holy Spirit. However this must be done in the heart and not with the lips just as accepting Him must be with the heart and not the lips. Remember only God can judge that heart and he knows even the intents of the heart as well. So if you have accepted him within your heart then don't sweat it,

Answer 7

If you are worried about it, that is a good sign, you haven't done it, because people that do that, no longer care one way or the other.

"Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. He is not above using religion to accomplish his goals. So I don’t care WHO told you that you have committed the unpardonable sin… a “friend”, a relative, a coworker, someone in your church, your Priest of Pastor or Satan himself… I guarantee you that you could NOT have done it accidentally (without knowing about it). You would have to knowingly and deliberately, from your heart of hearts reject and renounce the Holy Spirit and verbally slander Him and His works and character to others."

Answer 8

Blasphemy is a sin against THE HOLY SPIRIT; and the only ones who are able to do it are the devil and his demons as they are destined for perdition and thus, their sins are unforgivable. But the natural men in their hearts are planted the spirit of eternity and thus, have the spirit of repentance and forgiveness and thus , their sins are forgivable; and tnis spirit is absent to satan and his demons. Also all natural men are saved which is the will of GOD. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GL;ORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

Answer 9

Persons who with full knowledge deliberately oppose God and Christ, hide the truth and propagate falsehoods make themselves guilty of sinning against God’s spirit—a sin that cannot be forgiven. This is what certain Pharisees did in the days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. They were eyewitnesses of the miracles and powerful works of God’s spirit operating through Jesus Christ. But they refused to glorify Jehovah God. For selfish reasons, they attributed to Satan the work of God through Christ. In this way they sinned against God’s spirit.—Matt. 12:24-32.

Answer 10

To blaspheme the Holy Spirit is the only 'sin that will not be forgiven'.... there is only one sin that keeps you from heaven and that would be rejecting the Holy Spirit as He calls us to salvation. Don't sweat it. ;)
