(Denying the existence of the holy spirit).

Answer 2

I will try to be less wordy than usual.
Idea is, A person has a conscience trained by true bible knowledge.
Dedicated himself to continue in that path of true worship of God Almighty.
Then will all that knowledge and spiritual training...goes out and intentionally and unrepentantly sins against every thing he has learned. With a partial intent to spite God and Gods faithful servants. Who told you about the swearing vs. child molester thing???? ewwwww! no comparison!
If a person learns to repent, and NEVER commits a hideous act like child molesting again , then he is forgiven.
As far as swearing, God is not that vain and if WE as HUMANS do our imperfect best to stop! Then Gods forgives our trespasses!

An unforgivable sin is described in Mark 3 and Matthew 12. These passages involve Jesus Christ's repeated and widespread public defeat of Satan and his demons. Many readers and theologians have been confused about the true nature of this sin. As you read these verses for yourself (below), bear in mind part of the purpose of Jesus Christ's ministry was to directly confront darkness with the light of truth in a public battle of pure good versus pure evil. The only being in the universe that is more powerful than the Evil One, is God. He is the only one with enough power to bind Satan himself and forcibly dispossess him.

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.

God has given us all free will and whether we accept Jesus Christ is eventually left up to us. But the Holy Spirit spends your entire life trying to bring Jesus Christ into your life, and if you die still rejecting his efforts, then you have committed the unforgivable sin. If you leave this world still having a unrepentant heart, then you have committed the unforgivable sin. And God will not want those in heaven with him who have been so contemptuous and rebellious. Ask yourself this one simple question. Would you want to spend eternity with people who are not sorry, and who don't want to stop participating in thievery, adultery, murder, and hate?

When you die still rejecting Jesus Christ, it is telling the Holy Spirit that you have ended your life still rejecting the light and the truth that he has been trying so hard to bring into your heart. That because of your harden heart and closed eyes and ears, you have turned your back on the Son of God and instead have decided that your life will end still on the side of satan and the world. This is a classic example of having a lack of reverence, a lack of respect, and a complete rejection of what the Holy Spirit has been trying to bring into your life. To die without Christ is truly blasphemy aimed directly at the Holy Spirit.

The unforgivable sin is a scary thing. It is so scary that in the Summa Theologiae Aquinas devoted a special question with four articles to this form of blasphemy alone. Today virtually every Christian counseling manual contains a chapter on the sin to help counselors deal with patients who are terrified that they have already or might sometime commit this sin.

Unfortunately, much of the things one reads in Protestant literature on this subject is way off base. My favorite idiotic reading of Jesus' discussion of the unforgivable sin is one which says that no one today can commit the unforgivable sin because this sin was to attribute the work of Jesus to demons and no Christian can do this since Jesus is no longer on earth. Aside from the fact that Jesus explicitly says in the very same verse that every blasphemy against him will be forgiven (Matt. 12:32a). However, it is more obviously false because Jesus does not have to be on earth to attribute his work to demons.

While most interpretations of the passage do not go to the extreme of saying that nobody today can commit the sin, many American Protestant readings (at least those written by Calvinists and Baptists) make the mistake of assuming that no Christian can commit the sin. This is because the authors of these interpretations are theologically boxed in to saying that no true Christian can lose his salvation. This is, of course, a grotesquely unbiblical view. However, this need not detain us because even though they have mistakenly assumed no Christian can commit the unforgivable sin, they have correctly identified its nature—final impenitence.

Answer 4

God is righteous, holy, more pure than the purest child, truthful to the most minute detail, loving to the point He would descend into our filth in our weak human form and sacrifice Himself for us. Committing sin against Him is more dire than the worst sin against any human being. Furthermore, because we are made in God's image, dispising God is dispising humanity, dispising what we are, the very form we were made in. Rejecting God is flushing down the toilet everything that makes human life, and life in general, valuable and sacred. It is not merely a crime against humanity, but a crime against that which makes humanity humanity.

Answer 5

The Holy Spirit is the very Person of Almighty God Himself communicating directly to your spirit - Person to person. If you despise Him and treat Him with contempt, there remains no other avenue whereby you can be reconciled to God and saved from eternal damnation. It is as if a mortally wounded man would hold a doctor at bay with a gun, saying "You aren't going to put your filthy hands on me". That man will die. So will every man die eternally who treats with contempt the Holy Spirit of God come down from Heaven to plead with the souls of men to repent and be reconciled to God through faith in God's atoning sacrifice, the Lord Jesus Christ.
