The case of the "unpardonable sin / unforgivable sin" or "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" in the New Testament is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and in Matthew 12:22-32. The term blasphemy may be generally defined as "defiant irreverence." We would apply the term to such sins as cursing God or willfully degrading things relating to God. It is also attributing some evil to God, or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This case of blasphemy however is a specific one, called "the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" in Matthew 12:31. In Matthew 12:31-32 the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by the demon "Beelzebub" (Matthew 12:24). Now notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what exactly they did to commit "the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit."
This blasphemy then has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ (in person, on earth) of being demon-possessed. There are other ways to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, but this was "THE" blasphemy that was unpardonable. This means that this unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today because Jesus Christ is not on earth but seated at the right Hand of God; however, the Holy Spirit still accomplishes supernatural things through His servants. Although there is no unpardonable sin today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state-the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. Remember, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life." The only condition when someone would have no forgiveness is if that someone is not among the 'whoever believes in Him.'"

If you call you mother, sister and grand mother filthy Ho's in front of 5 billion people would they forgive you? If you had a child and you beat and abused them in every imaginable way would they forgive you.
No, so to blaspheme the Holy spirit of GOD is just that you have denied and talked down about GODS very essence. In the verse it states you can even be forgiven for blaspheme against Jesus but not the holy spirit.
You have been given the rules that as a christian you must live by and you also know what you will be forgiven for.
Why does this even matter to all of you non believers any way. if you don't believe why know about or eve try to understand it, its not for you, so drop it thank yo very much.

The Blasphemy you are Talking about will not be Forgiven in This World, or the Next World.
But, in the Third World to come, it will be.
Now if you Blasphemy the Holy Spirit by Never Accepting Jesus as your Saviour when the Holy Spirit gives you Chances, then your Spirit will Never Be Recreated (Saved, Born-Again) and you won't be able to go to Heaven.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin. What it means is that you have continually rejected the Holy Spirit and His urgings to the point where you no longer hear Him. You have gotten to the point where you can't repent and ask for forgiveness.
The Holy Spirit doesn't have to defend Himself.

That unforgiven sin speaks of a human condition beyond the capacity to be saved. First of all, if you had sinned against the Holy Spirit, then it probably would not even phase you in the least. It's like looking at Jesus heal someone, and then saying he did evil.

We all fall short from the glory of God but if we mock the Holy Spirit of God who can guide us to His righteousness, that is unforgivable sin. However,if you ask forgiveness and repent, then you do not blaspheme anymore. And you can be forgiven

The unforgivable sin is to reject forgiveness. Many people deny any need to be forgiven by their creator for anything, hence they cannot be forgiven. Hence the unforgivable sin is to reject the love God offers humanity in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
John 3
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
If you deny the need to be saved then you can't be.
And you can play all the mind games you want on YA R&S but you can't play games with God.

The word blaspheme in this case does not mean to say something bad about or even curse, it means to reject or ignore.The reason this is unforgivable is you have to have the holy spirit to have a relationship with God.The answer to your question can the holy ghost defend itself. (CAN GOD)

1 Corinthians 12:3..wherefore I give you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,but by the Holy Ghost...one of the work of the Holy Ghost is to help people accept the truth about Jesus...that Jesus Christ is our only Lord and saviour..how can you accept Jesus and all about him.If you will blaspheme the Holy Ghost.?Which help you understand about Jesus truth..?Remember John 3:16,Acts 4:12,1 Tim. 1:15,2:5....

you need to read up on the unforgivable sin and find out more about what it is and how a person can commit it. Nothing you mention is even remotly close to the conscience and intentional act of trading your soul to the Devil in exchange for something in your earthly life, which is what the unforgivable sin is refering to.
