Hi, My question is in regards to Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I am a practicing christian (But haven't attended church for several years). In a fit of anger I Blasphemed against the Holy spirit by sayiny ''F#!& Off Holy Spirit. I have read many articles since then and they all point to one thing, That I cannot be forgiven for this! Am I eternally lost to hell?
This is a serious question, I am very distraught over this. please help me with honest biblically accurate answers. Much appreciated.
Basquiat.
Read carfully the full account of where Jesus warned against blaspheming the Holy Ghost.
The jews had said that what Jesus did was by the power of Satan. By doing this, they cut themselves off completely from the Holy Ghost, who is the ONLY one who can draw us to Christ.
Thus the sin is unpardonable, the sinner having severed any connection with God.
The very fact that you are troubled enough to post here looking for hope is proof that God has not turned His back on you, and apparently, you have not turned your back on Him.
Thanks for your answers, what you said very helpful Galveston, Helped to define the true meaning of the scripture. And Summer7, I have been very encouraged by your posts, even approached a church sunday night (did'nt actually go in though). But I think that's progress since I haven't stepped foot inside a church for several years.
Kindest Regards, Basquiat :-)
That is such great news!!!! I am so happy you are encouraged. You know, you are a lot wiser now so I'm sure your experience in church will be better and richer. Remember, it's filled with those "imperfect human beings", like you and me. But we have the hope of being with our "perfect Lord" someday.
It was great you shared your situation here with us. See, you have lots of friends who care about you!!! God bless you
summer7 asked a very good question.
I look forward to seeing the answer to it.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
Hi there Fred,
Which question are you referring too? I will be attending Bible study this Sunday to learn more. I just remember bits and pieces.
I haven't been to church in a long time either. I have really enjoyed having Jesus in my life. I look back on the "old days" and I just can't believe how far I've come! It truly is amazing!!! The joy and peace alone are so worth it.
This church I found kinda caters to teens and twenty somethings so I am looking forward to all the cool stuff there is to do. Plenty of fun activities and of course opportunities to serve and make a difference.
Well Fred and Basquiat...It's been great sharing this post with you! I'm off now. I want to learn more!
Hey man listen. You are fine trust me, and trust God. Just recently i thought i had done the same. But God has revealed to me that "the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is way more than cursing the Holy Spirit. First of all the word "Blasphemy" in the greek means, "injurious speaking" which means to hinder through speech. This has NOTHING to do with anger towards God. Also in Matthew 12 it says "whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit" it has become clear that "speaks against" means to speak as an enemy of. NOT TO CURSE.
The pharisees blasphemed the Spirit, because they knew that Jesus was God and that He was casting out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit, and yet they straight up lied saying, "He is casting out demons by the prince of demons." in order to steer people away from Christ and bring glory to themselves. They were essentially choosing to take side with satan! Jesus later says that the pharisees were children of satan himself. This kind of sin will never be repented of or even worried about. The Bible says that repentance is a gift from God. It also says in Romans 8:1 that "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus." Furthermore, Romans 8:38-39 says, "38 For I am convinced that neither DEATH NOR LIFE, neither angels nor DEMONS, neither the PRESENT NOR FUTURE, nor ANY POWERS, 39neither height nor depth, nor ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION, will be able to separate us from the love of God THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. and in conclusion John 10: 27-30 says, "27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY FATHERS HAND. 30 I and the Father are one."
So, please don't let satan torment you anymore. He will try to twist the scripture I have shown you, but trust in Christ.
I will pray for you. Dear Lord, I pray for my brother/sister in Christ. That they would place their trust in you. Do not let satan torment them any long Lord, but let them be released from their torment and condemnation, and show them that you love them more than the sun. In Jesus Christ name I pray... amen.
basquiat,
Of the three persons in God, the Holy Spirit is the guide and inspirer.
He has been referred to as the giver of life.
One of the main places to experience God in His trinity is in one of the many houses, castles, or cathedrals build by his followers out of love for him and other followers.
Those many churches are for the lovers of God in which to worship Him and converse with others.
It is also one place where we can harvest the fruit others provide and to provide our fruit for others to harvest.
So do go to Church.
Much of the grace of God is available there.
Best wishes for your progress to unity with God.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
Dear dlo2010, Thankyou for your scriptures and encouragement, This means a great deal to me. I appreciate the support & prayers.
Dear Arcura, Thankyou for sharing, I am on the journey of making steps towards returning to a local church, but this is difficult as I am very cautious/wary of becoming involved with a church again because of my last (very negative) experience .

Using the Bible as your guide, you should "shop" for a church. Choose one that is the closest to the one described in the Book of Acts, and also consider what Jesus said to the 7 churches. (Rev. chapters 1,2, &3.)

You are going to be working fairly hard to find one of those
