In the Bible hen it says God will not forgive blasphemy against the holy spirit...?

Question

what does that mean?

Answer 1

If you say something horrible or bad about the Holy Spirit you are going straight to hell basically.
thats why I don't even talk about the holy spirit.
Its scary to think I'll damn myself forever.

Answer 2

This blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. Although there is no blasphemy of the Spirit today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state of existence--the state of continued unbelief.

This reference to an unforgivable sin has troubled many unnecessarily. Those who are concerned that they have done something for which Jesus will not forgive them show a very different attitude from the Pharisees, who refused to accept even the most compelling evidence that Jesus was the Son of God.

If one's conscience is bothering him to the point that he feels he is too guilty for God to forgive, he has the assurance of God's Word that forgiveness is possible. The very fact that he is bothered by his sinfulness shows that the Holy Spirit has not abandoned him nor has God given him over to a depraved mind.

The case of "blasphemy against the 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 has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. There are other ways to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, but this was "THE" unpardonable blasphemy. As a result, the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth. but seated at the right Hand of God. No one can witness Jesus Christ performing a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. Although there is no blasphemy of the Spirit today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state of existence--the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. Continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s promptings to trust in Jesus Christ is the unpardonable blasphemy. Remember what is stated in 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."

Speaking against.
The religious leaders accused Jesus of driving a demon out of someone by the power of the devel, that was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit; attributing something done by Him to the devel. It is done today by those who mock Speaking in Tongues, and the other Gifts of The Holy Spirit, and call it of the devel, or fake.

Answer 5

This is the anglicized form of the Greek word bla·sphe·mi′a. The Greek term basically means injurious, defamatory, or abusive speech and was used with reference to such speech whether directed against God or against humans. (Compare Re 16:11; Mt 27:39.) The English word “blasphemy,” however, is usually restricted to irreverent or abusive speech against God and sacred things. It is thus the antithesis of words of worship directed to the Divine Being.

In view of the name Di·a′bo·los (meaning “Devil” or “Slanderer”) given to him, it is evident that the first one guilty of blasphemy was God’s original adversary. Though his speech to Eve in Eden was veiled and subtle, it, nevertheless, portrayed the Creator as untruthful. (Ge 3:1-5) Satan has been, therefore, the prime instigator of blasphemy from then till now.—Joh 8:44-49.

The “calling on the name of Jehovah” that started in the time of Enosh during the pre-Flood period must not have been of an upright and proper nature, for Abel long before that had undoubtedly been directing himself to God by the divine name. (Ge 4:26; Heb 11:4) If, as some scholars hold, this calling on God’s name was in the sense of misusing it and improperly applying Jehovah’s name to humans or to idolatrous objects, then this would constitute a blasphemous act.

Faithful Job was concerned lest his children had at some time “cursed God in their heart” by sinful thoughts; and, when made to undergo great adversity, Job himself “did not sin or ascribe anything improper to God” in spite of the Adversary’s blasphemous attempts to cause him to ‘curse God to his very face.’ (Job 1:5, 11, 20-22; 2:5-10) Job’s three companions, either wittingly or unwittingly, misrepresented God and ‘pronounced God wicked,’ while insinuating that Job had spoken and acted blasphemously.—Job 15:6, 25; 32:3; 42:7, 8.

Answer 6

I've always been told that that is the one unforgivable sin. I was told (as a child) that God would forgive everything else, no matter how large or small, except for renouncing the name of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 7

His Holy Ghost is in charge, in Jesus name, many had no Bible, like Abraham, and they heard God's voice,

Blasphemy against the Atom has non-forgivness, it, destroys all

Answer 8

It means there is no forgiveness to those who know the truth and have been baptized in the Holy Ghost and then turn away and deny it ever happened and that God is not real.

Answer 9

It means the only way a person can be drawn to salvation is through the holy spirit. If a person denies the holy spirit (blasphemes) then there is no way he can be drawn and will not inherit eternal life.

Answer 10

"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit." (Mark 3:29,30).

The Bible tells us of an unforgivable sin, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. This subject has been vastly misunderstood over the years. False teachers who claim miracles, dreams and visions will tell you that by denying them one is comitting the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Some have thought it may be a sin or series of sins so grievous that God could never forgive them for it, others claim if you don't recognize you accepted Christ by your own free will you have comitted this sin. These are but a few of the many misconceptions. However if we look at the subject in its setting and proper context we can know what it is. The leaders of the Jewish nation, the Pharisees and priests at the time of Christ's ministry accused Him of performing miracles by the power of satan:

"And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils." (Mark 3:22).

Jesus was well aware that they were thinking this and thoroughly rebuked them:

"And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." (Mark 3:23-25).

Jesus showed these "know it alls" how there conclusion was nonsense, How could satan cast out satan? Obviously he could not and their theory was foolishness. Christ also gave a practical lesson for ages to come; that being we should be united in our home lives, under the authority of His word. Christ came to bind satan (the strong man):

"And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house." (Mark 3:26,27).

The Lord Jesus Christ is the word (John 1:1,14) that washes the sinner. Satan has been cast out of heaven:

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Revelation 12:7-11).

The Bible makes it clear that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is when one accuses Jesus of being demon possessed:

"Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit." (Mark 3:30).

If someone burns a bible, denies God, commits serious sins and/or crimes God may forgive them, only those who are thoroughly convinced that the miracles of Jesus were done by satan have comitted blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
