Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

[SweetLove]

Have I commited something unpardonable?

I am new on this site and I just want to say thanks for having me here. Im fifteen years old and im afraid I've blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I can't even get on with life, my legs are weak, and I cry 24/7 because I didn't know that such thing against God can be unforgivable. I was mad at my mother and I closed myself in my room, crying because I was too young to understand my love for God. Then I told God "forget him" then It came back to haunt me. After I felt like God was still with me because I didn't know about it. Strange things started happening once I tried giving my life to God. Blasphemous thoughts came up and they got so terrible that they began to utter out my mouth because I was trying so hard to stop it then I'd end up saying the blasphemous thoughts instead of whats really in my heart. I tried thinking about God's work one night in my room as I was listening to christian music then in my mind something came up saying "satan, satan"...it happened twice (and it felt like my heart stopped). I was horrified. This is only some of it but I know in my heart that I love God, I just desire to be close to him and when I finally got that chance....everything's been trying to stop me. I don't wanna live a life of doubt. Can anyone tell me if I commited something unpardonable?

HEy "SweetLove",

I was prompt to reply to your statement to tell you that God loves you so much that He died for you too! and that there’s no sin He can’t forgive, except one… the sin of unbelief.

You’ve posted in your message about “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit”.

Well, blasphemy of the God’s Spirit is not when you utter something that is insulting, cursing or anything…, not even mockery. To blaspheme the Spirit of God is to reject Christ’s Love and His gift of Salvation. It is when a person makes that final decision to say “no” to Jesus. The Spirit of Christ works in every individual (that means every one in the world) every now and then, the Spirit makes its way to every person’s heart in a lot of manner and different ways. (This is what you call the offering of salvation, when God touches the heart) example; when someone (a missionary, a pastor, a friend) preach to you about Jesus and you know for yourself that you are convicted by the message. Or like what happened to me, I came to a point of desperation and depression, boredom and isolation from friends. That time, I have nothing else to do and I saw this book called “Bible”, so I started “tripping” on it. But then I was convicted and God just started speaking to me. But then the worst thing a person can do is when, in spite of all the effort God is doing to establish a relationship with him/her is to reject His Love. That is the blasphemy of the Spirit. In short, it is the sin of UNBELIEF. Any sin, may it be murder, thievery, malicious thoughts, lust, etc…, the blood of Christ can wash it all away. But when it comes to unbelief, it’s unforgivable—how can God forgive you if you yourself doesn’t believe that you can be forgivin through Christ? How can you be forgiven when in the first place you are rejecting the only One who can forgive you?

My question to you now is, have you accepted Jesus as you Lord and personal Saviour?

Romans 10:9 says, “9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Friend, He is not too far from you. He only wants you to call on His name and He will come to save you.
the thoughts and voices in your mind that is disturbing you are not from God. anything that will pull you away from Jesus is not of God and so don't entertain them. you see, the enemy (Satan) hates it when a person will call on the name of the Lord that's why he'll do anything to stop the person from doing so.

beloved, call Jesus and ask Him to take hold of you. confess that He is your God and your Savior. start it now.

i am your brother in Christ and though i haven't seen you, well, i'll be here to encourage you and assist you towards Jesus. just take the first step and Christ Himself will take you by His hand. start now.

Shalom Shalam! from Jesus.

Please don't be afraid that you can lose your salvation, that you've committed something unpardonable. There is no such thing as an unpardonable sin. Every sin that we commit can be taken to the Lord and by His blood forgiven us. If there was an unpardonable sin that a Christian could commit it would mean that Christ's death was ineffective before God, and that is an impossibility:

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.
1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Once you have confessed something and repented for it, just forget about it. God has forgotten it and so should you.


But listen, there is something else that is very important to know. When we receive the Lord Jesus, Satan begins to accuse us from that moment until we die. He will do anything to stop us from enjoying fellowship with the Lord. He is called 'the accuser of the brethren' (Rev 12:10).

What you are describing sounds very much as though you are allowing yourself to be too open to his attacks. The best thing is to ignore him, or even better to tell him how much you love the Lord Jesus! Tell him that he has been destroyed by Christ already so he must shut up. And you should consider to be baptized.

Grace to you

Thank you so much, this has been a big help to me. What I've noticed is, none of the bad things started happening to me until I made my effort to draw close to God as he's making his way to me. Also to answer the question, I've accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour. I just don't want to do anything disappointing, all I want to do is God's will. Thanks again for the reply.

God bless

Thanks Cerebus, the scriptures you've sent me has brightened my day along with your personal comments. What scared me was when I came across a scripture talking about not being forgiven for something. My heart has been troubled ever since but with love and responses I received, I feel a lot better.

May the Lord Bless You

I'm glad .

The easiest way to know whether you have been forsaken by God is by experience (of course joined with the Bible) - have you lost your fellowship with Him? If you have not, then how can you imagine that He has condemned you? Even to have a sense that God is unhappy with you indicates that He is still with you.

Well I most definately haven't lost my fellowship with him. Everything I do that seems disappointing, I repent immediately. but hey, thanks again for the encouragement and support.

Sometimes what works for me, when thoughts like that enter in my head: Acknowledge that those are not my thoughts. Rebuke those thoughts in the name of Jesus.
Pray to God out loud.
Sometimes I say God's attributes out loud:
Jesus, You are my Rock, my Savior, my Redeemer, You died for me, etc.
Saying these truths out loud have helped me a lot.
Try it!
I hope it works for you too

I'm so glad I found this thread... This is something that has weighed heavily on me. I have always believed in Jesus and God the father, but I have strayed away and I feel a sense of emptiness in my life. I started reading my bible yesterday, and was reminded of the unforgivable sin called blasphemy. I was so afraid that, in a moment of despair or anger, I had commited this unforgivable sin. What I am hearing is that, I could not possibly have done this or I wouldn't be concerned about it.

Thank you all very much!
