I want to know how can u guys define sinning against the spirit. If somebody says that Jesus Christ is not God,has he committed sinning against the spirit?
How can u avoid sinning in our mind.It is easier to control our actions not to sin than ur mind.Even if u r thinking or planning about doing that sin in our mind,but a lot of times there will be stuff popping up in our mind ,just beacause our human brain is functioning, but sometimes these stuff can be sins.....

Sin is an outdated concept. It amounts to a list of outdated rules from an old book that are impossible to follow if you're anywhere close to being human.
Religion uses the concept of sin to instill guilt. When it can make you feel guilty for doing something against the rules, or even thinking about it, they can more easily get you to fill the pews and empty your pockets.

The Bible was written by holy spirit so if you don't believe the Bible and follow it your sinning against God's holy spirit.
2nd Peter 1:21
Our sinning doesn't mean we don't believe God's word. We may believe but either don't understand and apply the Bible or we're struggling with a weakness. The Bible says we all sin many times and that we are born into sin, but that should not give us license to sin. (Acts 3:19 James 1:13-15)Reading the Bible helps us to see how God views certain actions and what he wants us to act like.
1 Peter 2:21 says we are to follow Jesus' steps closely, but if we do make a mistake we should repent and try not to sin again.

The Word says to take every thought captive, so the moment u think something sinful; repent.
Sinning against the spirit? Are u talking about the Holy Spirit? The Word says a lot about the Holy Spirit. To not grieve Him, not quench Him, definetly not blaspheme Him.
We should purpose in our hearts to be quick to repent when we sin.

Sin is a verb, and requires action. That is why you should 'capture every thought' before it becomes sin.
To answer your second question, it is not sinning against the spirit to say Yahshua is not God. He isn't, nor did He claim TO BE GOD. THAT would be blasphemy, and would have justified His crucifixion. This is something xians can't seem to get it into their head: He is the SON of God, and never claimed to be anything MORE than this. And in this, He fulfills scripture.

we are hardwired to sin so attempting to lead a completly sin-free life from this point on would be quite an accomplishment. the reason gods love is unconditional is because it is impossible to please him with our actions with strength from god we can fight against sin but somtimes we dont even know we sin its just instinct in our souls that have been corrupted by original sin. if by sinning against the spirit you mean the unforgivable sin of blasphemye against the holy spirit. well its not somthing you can just decide to do. the bible is unclear as to what it is but if your worried youve commited it then you haven cause the result would be disbelief and a heart permanently hardened to god.

You must put on the whole armor of God. You must renew your mind. Reading the Bible and Thinking on God will. You have to keep a good song in your heart, God on your mind and rebuke the devil when a thought comes to mind. Right then, don't concentrate on it or the devil will win you over.

If you mean by sin against the Holy Spirit, it actually means doing something really, really bad.... and liking it.

If you sin ignorantly and ask for mercy when you understood your sin then you shall not bare the guilt but if you sin purposfully then you bare the guilt.

Pray and ask God to help those thoughts stop popping into our minds. Satan puts those thoughts in your mind, and it is up to you whether or not you want to follow up on those thoughts, or IGNORE them.
