Most Christians have wondered at one time or another if they have committed the unforgivable sin. Have you?
If this is your fear, be encouraged. You have not committed the unforgivable sin.
You are not eternally damned.
You are not forsaken by God.
You are not hated by God.
You are not outside the bounds of His love and grace.
Quite to the contrary, you are loved by God more than you possibly know.
You are forgiven. You are accepted. God loves you!
When I first became a pastor, the very first counseling session I had was with a member of my church who was afraid they had committed the unpardonable sin.
I had personally struggled with fear about this sin in my own life, but I sort of thought that I was alone in this struggle. As I talked with this church member, I clearly remember feeling a sense of relief that I was not alone in being afraid about this sin. There were two of us!
A month later, a high-school student in the church asked me about this sin. He was angry with God and said some things to God that he regretted. He wanted to know if he was now doomed to hell.
Then I received an email from a single mother in the church who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Twice. The first pregnancy had been aborted. Someone told her that she was now a murderer and God would never forgive her. She wanted to know if that was true.
I began to see that fear about committing a sin that God would never forgive was a common fear in the lives of other people. So I decided to preach a sermon about the Unpardonable Sin, and what I believed the Scriptures taught about God’s love and forgiveness for us – no matter what we say or do.
To this day, this sermon on the Unforgivable Sin is still my most popular sermon on this website, and I get weekly emails from people all over the world who are afraid they have committed the unforgivable sin and want to know if God still loves them and if there is hope for them.
I do not know if you struggle with fear about the unpardonable sin. But if not, I guarantee that you know people who do. They may not express this fear to you, but there are people in your life who have done something they fear God will never forgive.
If you are afraid you committed the unforgivable sin, I have created a short series of emails you can receive about this sin (You can sign up below).
These emails explain what this sin is (and is not) and how to know that you have not committed it.
Even if you do not personally struggle with fear about this sin, you might want to get these emails anyway, since you almost certainly will encounter somebody who is afraid of it, and it would be helpful for you to have a way to encourage them and give them hope about God’s love and forgiveness.
In this series of emails on the Unforgivable Sin, I show why you have not committed this sin, and you can know that you have not committed it.
If you struggle with fear about committing the unforgivable sin, this free series of emails is for you.
This series of posts begins by surveying the various views about the unforgivable sin, which is also called “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.” This survey includes an examination of Matthew 12:31-32 so that we can understand what Jesus meant when He talked about the unforgivable sin.
The most common theories about the unpardonable sin (also called the unforgivable sin) include the sins of adultery, divorce, murder, and even cursing the Holy Spirit. None of these are the unforgivable sin.
Not even suicide is the unforgivable sin.
While many churches and pastors teach that those who commit since like those listed above can never be forgiven, this series of posts reveals that all such sins are forgivable by God.
If you have committed adultery, you are forgiven!
If you got a divorce, you are forgiven!
If you had an abortion, you are forgiven!
If a friend of yours committed suicide, this does not mean they automatically went to hell.
If you are afraid that you blasphemed the Holy Spirit, do not worry — God has already forgiven you for whatever you said or whatever you did.
Even if you cursed God, cursed the Holy Spirit, or said some terrible things to them, God still loves you and still forgives you.
Yes, it is true… There is a sin in the Bible which is “unpardonable.” Yes, the Bible talks about a sin which cannot be forgiven.
But there is so much bad teaching in the church about what this sin is, how it is committed, and whether or not there is hope for those who commit this sin, but you do not need to worry about committing it.
Some churches teach that there are seven unforgivable sins in the Bible, or that there is one thing you can say which will cause God to hate you forever, or that if you have done something terrible in your past there is no hope for your eternal soul.
All such teachings are unhealthy! They do not reflect the heart of God, His great love for you, or the infinite forgiveness He has provided to you in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
If there is a sin you have committed which you think is unforgivable, or which makes you think God does not love you, or makes you feel like you cannot be forgiven, do not worry any longer. This series of emails will give you hope for your future and reveal to you the infinite love, grace, and mercy of God for you.
In the end, you will learn that you have not committed the unforgivable sin.
If you fear you have committed the unforgivable sin, or if you simply want to learn what this sin is (and is not), sign up below to receive a series of free emails about this sin.

I ordered this book last week & looking forward to reading it, like you said there is so much teaching on this subject. I read a devotional on the subject last year & still battling the thoughts it caused me to have,
Let me know what you think of the book after you read it! Thanks for ordering it.
Hello I think I comitted the unpardonable sin about a year ago. I would be playing a game and I would get so mad that I would cuss out god. I did this many times until I found out about the unpardonable sin. I was scared out of my mind at one point the fear was so bad I had to pull the car over because I felt sick. I cussed out god once more after this when I was in a hotel that was the last time I ever did commit this sin I think. Every time I did this I would say “sorry”. I dont know if I really meant it or not I just know I felt the need to apologize. I’ve since started praying for forgiveness every night but when I pray I feel as if there is no one there, its like I’m talking to my self. Its like god has abandonded me and turned me to a reprobate like in hebrews. I think I have lost my salvation I also have a bad cussing habit that I’m trying to get out of. And I always have this strong temptation to cuss out god dont worry I never give in to this temptation. I have intrusive blasphemous thoughts that are not my own that I cant seem to shake away that calls everyone I speak to even god at times a downgrading curse word. Also when I pray to God every night to forgive me I dont just pray for myself I pray for everybody (literally) I pray that god will forgive everyone that I know and love and that he forgive the world of sin. But I’m afraid its just too late for me, because no matter how much I pray and beg and wear a cross I feel just as bad and scared as I did a year ago. Am I lost has god abandoned me, am I doomed to hell with no chance of forgiveness why has god made it so hard for me to repent. I always feel so condemned and scared. Please help!!
You should get and read my book on the Unforgivable Sin (It’s on Amazon). It will give you hope and encouragement to know that you have not committed the unpardonable sin.
is an unpardable sin laughing when someone has the holy ghost.
The person who had commit the sin do not care if they commit it.
I am not a Christian. I known about Jesus at least 10 year ago. But all the time I did not want to come to God or have a need to become a Christian.
Even after knowing what the sin is, I still haven’t want to become a Christian, does it mean I had commit ye sin?
Lim, you don’t have to be a “Christian” to be saved. Just like being a circumsized Jewish man mean he has a place in heaven. The only person who determines position is Christ Jesus, no outside force or outward action results in justiciation except by faith alone in christ alone. And faith isn’t a work which you may be deluded in thinking, it is the answer to a question like 2×2=X we believe it to be 4. Same goes with the overwhelming surmountable evidence of the salvation in christ to anyone who calls. His death is my death, and his resurrection is my resurrectiion, he is our sacrificial lamb, an offering to God poured out satisfying the sin of mankind. In so we have peace with God. I’m not asking you to be a Christian, but go about your life, but believe that his death is enough for. Lim, I have an unease about you, my spirit tells me two things, you hate God, but you believed in jesus long ago. And you are currently living in ignorance. Get back to me, thanks much love your brother <3 0421635272
but i remembered at thine when I was like 12-13 I was in a middle of committing a sin and had a thought that said “I would trade the holy spirit spirit for this” or something like that, and still committed the sin, I was struggling with blashphamous thoughts and with certain sins back then,and I knew what the holy spirit was, but I’m so scared, plus when I was in a middle of doing a sin I had a thought that said “with this I renounce the spirit” and a follow up thought came up “with this I don’t renounce him” and I still committed the sin, I repented right after but I’m so scared
If i said that blasphemy words that pharisees said due to fear of God or wrobg thoughts that comes to me can I still be forgiven, what if those thoughts are because of my anger of God or love of sin or unable to do huge vows, …etc.
I love his forgiveness but when bad thoughts like pharisees words come to my mind I feel like I love them and always fail to reject them, even sometimes I speak them or have doubts, and I read a lot about this subject also I have some OCD signs. But I do this sin I think
Help.
Yes, you can still be forgiven, and you ARE forgiven. People who commit the unpardonable sin (1) don’t think they committed it, (2) don’t care that they have committed it, and (3) don’t care about being forgiven.
Since you are concerned about all these things, this is evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work upon your life, therefore, you have not committed this sin. God loves you more than you can imagine!
So what is the unforgivable sin? It’s not saying the holy spirit is a demon is it then refusing the call of the spirit to have Jesus as Lord and savior and having his forgiveness
The explanation takes longer than what can fit in a comment. I tried to explain more in my book. A major part of the answer is understanding the word “forgiveness” in Matthew 12:31-32.
So if you have done this in your head you are forgiven? I’m 30 and I had panic attacks and struggling for the fact of knowing he has forgiven me I might have some obsessive disorder and I want to feel like I’m forgiven
hahahaha!!!! AMEN!
that means im ok. Thank You Abba Father.
I’m scared because ever since I was little when I learned a cuss in my head it would keep respecting itself and it really messed with my head but a few years later it became bearable and I could deal with it. Then one day when I was 10 my dad told me about the unpardonable sin and it happened again my head kept saying I hate The Holy Spirit which was not true so I kept saying I Hate The Holy Spirit Is a horrible thing to say so I wouldn’t be saying it but it kept repeating over and over and I was scared that one day I would say I hated The Holy Spirit because I wouldn’t be able to bear it any longer and it still happens to me today 🙁 it’s becoming unbearable and I can’t think normal thoughts this sounds like nonsense but no one can help me and I’m scared 🙁 please help me
I am only 12 but I am very scared that I have committed the unforgivable sin so one time I thought in my head that God isn’t real so I am very confused why I thought that and one time I made fun of people who talked with the Holy Spirit in another language I don’t know what got into me will I be forgiven I am so scared because I want to be with God and love him and worship him but will I ever be forgiven please tell me I am very desperate ?
Dear Friend , I’m struggling the same battle… I have the feeling that I won’t be forgiven 🙁 Even if I understand what is the unforgivable sin, I’m still concerned… 🙁 But I hope God Still forgives me! I hope…! But please understand that the unforgivable sin is when someone reject Jesus intentionally , and don’t care at all!! Because I want as you too to worship Him and Love him (That shows RESPECT to Jesus) The way out from this fear is to be POSITIVE, have HOPE, and try to find a pastor near to you and stay in touch with him! I’m sure he will explain it, as well he will pray for you! So do not fear!!!! 😉 😉 So as the final thing I want to tell you is that God for sure loves you , and HE will FORGIVE you! 🙂 Stay couraged and have hope! God Bless You! 🙂
Kristina, God loves you so very much. If you’ve ask jesus in your heart and you repent of your sins you’re just fine. For you to worry proves the Holy Spirit is in you. When we sin you ask God to forgive us and he remembers it no more. Those who call apon the Lord shall be saved. Continue to Read your bible it will help you with your doubt.
If I said the prayer 5 years ago and was on fire wanting to know more about my Lord. But now I’m feeling drawn away and never did I think I would commit the unforgivable sin adultery and now I feel ashamed and hurt! Because I have dishoner my lord and husband. Will I still be forgiven?
Hi Jeremy I really need help lately I cant even sleep properly im always scared and anxious sometimes I’m convinced I did the unpardonable sin I’m now 15 years old a couple of days ago I stumbled upon the unforgivable sin and remembered along time ago I was 9 years old even less and I didn’t know that much about Christianity back then so I thought that God was evil and he’s the devil who crucified Jesus I k kw I sound crazy but I need some reassurance
Is that catholic belief? (in catholic belief do you get forgived if you blasphemy many times in your life if you really mean it?)
I said or murmur something about the Holy Spirit in this nature. I’m terrified I’m at the point of no return.

Rudransh,
I am not sure where to begin. You have not committed the unforgivable sin, and yet there appear to be some some serious spiritual and psychological issues going on in your spirit and soul.
Ideally, it would be best for you and I to sit down for several hours at a time to talk, search the Scriptures, and pray. But that is not possible in this online setting.
So here are my recommendations:
1. Make sure you have believed in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. That is, make sure you know that no matter what you do or say, think or feel, do in the future or have done in the past, that Jesus gives you eternal life as a completely free gift.
2. Spend large amounts of time reading the Bible, especially the Gospels, so that you can get to know God the Father and Jesus Christ in new ways. Through the Scripture is one way that the Holy Spirit will begin to allow you to hear His voice and follow His leading, and He will also begin to filter your minds from some of these negative thoughts.
3. Try, if possible, to find some other Christians with whom you can talk about these things without them condemning you for having these thoughts and feelings.
4. You may want to seek some psychological help. Is there are counselor or psychologist that you can meet with and talk with? That might be a good idea as well.
Yes i know two counsellors i told one of them about this and i want to know why Jesus Christ without any mercy sends that person to hell forever to suffer and never ever forgives them even though they didn’t commit any thing like murder and that also forever you can forgive that person went in minutes of that sin with in a snap of a finger then only why that sin why not give him another life in Earth after forgiving and punishing him for the rest of his sin it is said that god and Jesus Is very merciful then why he is giving such a life sentence that is much more worse than eternal nothingness and why doesn’t he punish Satun with eternal nothingness because i think most of the sins in Earth are committed because of him only?
Rudransch,
I read your question 3 or 4 times and could not understand what you are asking. Can you post one short question please?
Dear Jeremy
I want to know that we all know that god is very loving and forgiving he will forgive every sin except one and that is blasphemy against the holy spirit and god can even forgive murder then why not such a sin that can be forgiven with in half an hour by an average human then why the punishment is really much worse eternal damnation ? and why he doesn’t punish Satan because i believe most of our sins are committed because of him ?
Rudransh,
Satan is punished and will be punished.
As for forgiveness, God forgives every sin. The sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, whatever it is, is not exactly about God not forgiving it, but about us refusing to accept God’s forgiveness and work in our life.
This is why I always tell people that if they want to be forgiven by God, then they are! The only ones who might have committed the unforgivable sin are those who don’t care about receiving forgiveness from God.
What if they are lectured and forced to ask for forgiveness and for example if i lie and completely forget about it then should i go to hell for eternity ? and i want to know why the punishment for this sin is so worse is this the mercy of god for non believers?
Rudransch,
It would probably help to not think of it as the punishment of God, but as a person’s choice to want nothing whatever to do with God… ever. God respects that choice, and leaves the person alone.
Sorry i am a little late but i am intrested in knowning why the punnishment is so worse
Rudransch,
Don’t think of it as punishment. It is not punishment. It is God allowing people to reject Him, if that is what they want to do. He does not force anyone to love Him. They cannot be forgiven, not because God hates them or wants to punish them (He doesn’t!), but because they refuse to love Him or be forgiven by Him.
Ok but before a few days i saw in the info of the channel “two and a half men” that a person comes to know that another person has sold his soul to the devil.
Is it possible and after reading about it i kept on thinking “i will sell to my soul for 20 carats get out shut up i will never ever sell my soul to you oh god please help me and this is continuing for a few days i am afraid that i have sold my sold to the devil have i please help and still i think god’s way of allowing others to hate him us much worse even you know and can easily think think about much better punishments like rebirth after being punished for all the sins in life and i am feeling put on the sin of those who committed the unforgiviable sin(the early 0th century priests
)imagine them burning in hell fire till now for 2000 years hopelessly screaming to god for help i can’t belive the mercy of god are they forgiven even though commiting this sin keans going to hell for entinity thank you and congralutions i think the 7 year tribulation periodvis over in 18th century the great commect shooting and in 19th century the sun became dark for a day and moon was not visible on the earth but now satun has the domination over me those who don’t belive in jesus crist i used to belive in him but now after knowing a lot in science it is getting harharder to belive in him even though i know that he exsists and i only belived in him not that he died for me in the cross and also not for eternal life and i still sin as much as i used to before but only a little reduced and i didn’t accept satan as my master but what can i do because those who knowingly sin a lot and don’t belive in jesus christ has to accept satan as their master because he only teaches us that even though he is evil he gives us complete freedom but thr followers of jesus and god only have freedom because they can sin only with in a limit and no more but recive their reward after their life in heaven but the followers of satun have to go to hell butbi don’t want to go to hell and be ruled by the cruel tryant but still why didn’t god destroy satun long way before and i think it was also Adam and eve’s fault also they could have blamed satan and could have also get their punishment reduced but they didn’t and today we are seeing the result
Rudransch,
I am not at all sure what you are asking, but it sounds like you may have a lot of questions about the love, grace, and mercy of God. I suggest that you spend lots of time reading about Jesus in the Gospels. Try reading Luke and John to begin with. Really focus on how Jesus interacts with people whom the world considers “sinners.” You will see that you have nothing to fear from Jesus.
Oh sorry can you delete all my comments of 5th june except first,last and second last and if possibe edit sentences in which i have written sorry,spellcheck and merge all my comments of 5 june i have just now came to know that there was some problems in settings if my browser that’s why my comments were being copied and i was having problems correcting spelling mistakes and so as a resilt hitting the post comment by mistake most if the time i was anle to stop it by pressing the x in my browser but some of the time i couldn’t thanks

I want to ask if bad thoughts against Jesus, god or Holy Spirit a unforgivable sin. Actually I don’t have bad thoughts against them, I hear in my mind a voice that Jesus evil or god and I can’t stop it, I don’t want to think it actually. I’m vey worry and fear I committed it.
Bridget,
We all have bad thoughts. Note that nowhere is the unpardonable sin described as having anything to do with thoughts. So do not worry about that.
It sounds like maybe you are struggling with some stressful situations in your life, and possibly some depression. Is there someone you can talk to about these things?
Is uncontrolled thoughts is a sin or bad thoughts against Jesus, god and Holy Spirit? And I want to know more about unforgivable sin I can’t understand it. Tell me more here message me. These uncontrolled thoughts I don’t believe in it what my mind think bad thoughts I just let it go because it not true of who I am it’s just an uncontrolled thoughts or lies in my mind I don’t believe in it. If this thoughts come I just ignore it because this not the real thoughts my real thoughts are opposite. I truly believe in Jesus my savior and god. I want to know if bad thoughts or uncontrolled thoughts is a sin?
Hello Bridget,
I am not a doctor, but it seems that you might have intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It’s not a sin-it’s a chemical imbalance in your brain.
I suggest you speak to your doctor or a mental health counselor that could point you in the right direction.
Kind Regards!
It is same to me and i also asked jeremy about this and i came to know that only if you speak against the holy spirit only then you will commit the unforgiviable sin and you should read this topic and then if you still don’t belive me and jeremy then you should not worry but you should belive that there is nothing like holy spirit and you should not worry and however if you are a non beliver,are not councerned about this,and don’t care about this then only you can know that you have commited it
Rudransh,
I don’t know if you still worry about blaspheming God or selling your soul to the devil. If you do, I have something to say that might give your mind rest.
In the Bible, before Jesus even came to Earth, Father God did not consider a young person to be accountable for such sins until they were 20 year old. Before age 20, God considered a young person to still be legally under his parent’s authority. So even if you tried to sell your soul to the devil or commit the unpardonable sin, it would not be a legal deal, because your soul is not legally yours to give until you are an adult.
This gives you plenty of time to learn and mature before you worry about such things. This does not mean you should do evil things, because what you do now will help mold the person you become as an adult. So, fill your mind with good things and wisdom from Jesus and other wise people who lived as Jesus did (like Ghandi) and God will teach you if you want him to.
The Holy Spirit is simply the spirit of God, near to us and speaking to our hearts to teach us well and comfort us, much like a good mother cares for her children. If someone attacked your mother, how angry would you and your father be? In the same way, we cherish the Holy Spirit for loving, comforting us and teaching us.
Just as you do not always listen to your mother, or obey her, still you love her. You are still learning from her and go to her when you are sad and confused. That is how we respond to the Holy Spirit. We often mess up, but like a loving parent, God reaches out to us as Father, Mother and Brother, always by our side to lead us and comfort us.
This is not good. 3 months ago I was reading the unpardonable sin in the bible and this OCD kicked in. Focusing in the worst possible scenario. My mind starting believing that junk and I tryed to cycle it off. Things got worse and I started feeling deprived of conviction. I feared and feared because I couldn’t get it out of my head. Then I stopped fearing. Things started getting blank. My concernity hit the roof. Things started changing. Like no feelings of emotion, Lusts, like comin seance is becoming nutual. My mind had almost the the response of the Pharacys and I tried to reject all that stuff as get Jesus close to my heart. It’s like this unbelief dominated me. I couldn’t control it. Things are getting worse now. Like I don’t know what to do. I’m still concerned and wanting to fix this, I still know jesus is lord, I can’t feel to feel with my heart anymore. My imaginations have been cut a little. I didn’t want this. It’s like I’m becoming a repubat. Or a deparved mind. I can’t sleep well. That “not caring feeling” is starting to happen which my concernity takes over, because I want to be with Jesus. And for all this to just clear up. I don’t really feel human anymore in a way. I do but it’s different. If whatever’s bound on earth is bound in heaven this isn’t good. I kept hearing this voice saying I’m not going to make it to heaven. This isn’t good. I think I’m cursed. I pray I’m not. I pray I can break free. I am concerned. And I can’t seem to focus good anymore. It’s like I can’t feel love or sadness or anything anymore. I’m just nutral. It’s like I’m becoming a creature I don’t want to be that. I don’t want sin to be more dominant over me. My mind has done tarable things I couldn’t control. This attitude I couldn’t break free of. This is very very serious because I can’t detect i, I want to cry. But all I feel is nutral. Is if comited. Is there no way out of this state of bean. Am I condemned. Because of what my stupid mind was doing. It’s like I don’t have emotions…… I can’t seem to wake up! It’s like. Flat. I don’t want this to go any further. There needs to be a solution. There needs to be… I tryed 100 prayer lines. Talked to everyone for advices. Tryed. Everything….. God help me
God loves you remember that. If you believe in God then you are not condemned! If you seek forgiveness you are not condemned! God is on your side till the very end. If you need more help, get this app called iDisciple. I had a fear of being condemned but not any more thanks to this website. I’m praying for you!! God bless you.
I am uncertain concerning suicide. You have suggested that forgiveness does not need to be asked for, that we are forgiven all things fom the moment we accept the Spirit. I agree that Jesus will be our advocate should we die before we can ask forgiveness. But taking your own life suggests a lack of faith and places one’s own judgement of life and death ahead of God’s. A dead man cannot ask for forgiveness.
I am weak. I have been struggling with this since I was 18. Im 22 now and I’m still struggling with it. I’m scared. I can’t stop these thoughts. Sometimes they make me want to say the unpardonable sin out loud. I never asked for this. It all started when I found out about the unpardonable sin. And now it has been three years. I don’t want to be anything else but a Christian but sometimes I get weak and I end up committing this sin. I don’t know why. I hate this. I just want to be forgiven. I need God in my life. I’ve betrayed him and I am sorry. I want to be a better Christian.
Do not be afraid, for there is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I am convinced that there is nothing that can separate you from Christ, I too used to believe that I had committed the unpardonable sin and was cut off, infact if anyone says they have, I suppose they must condemn me too! because I, Charles M. Cahillane swore at God and renounced the Holy Spirit. However in all this I am justified, as I believe on Christ Jesus, for years i spent living my life in guilt and condemnation, actually it’s how I ended up on this page, hoping that I didn’t commit a sin so terrible (Which I can prove there is none) that it would separate me from Christ, Jeremy provided me with so much comfort through his ministry and care. It seemed like at the time no one loved me. If you are in pain please email me (Charlescahillane1@gmail.com and we can pray through this together)
Yes, this is a big one. I will address suicide in a future post.
I’m losing my mind ! I really need God to help me . I have E-mailed you before and told you my situation . I so feel like I blasphemed the Holy Spirit . I can’t function , I can’t take care of my kids , they have to stay with their mother because I live in fear and anxiety everyday . I can’t even pay my bills on time it’s debilitated me . I don’t want to go to hell . I got so mad at God one day for not answering my silly selfish prayer . I yelled and screamed at Him and said ” God you couldn’t even give me a measly peace when I asked you for one . I sang a harish sarcastic song to God saying ” He didn’t lift me up when I was down “! I felt that day like I was doomed for hell and I blasphemed the Holy Spirit . I wish a million times I can take it back what I said . I haved begged God to forgive me and have mercy on me . But I know He won’t forgive blasphemy of His Spirit . I have kids I love dearly . I have begged God for help but I find none at all . I guess the only way I will really know if I have is the day I die . And I’m terrified of dying
I replied to your earlier email. Did you get my reply?
Basically, you need to do your best to retrain your mind. If you have OCD, you may need some medication to help with this.
Instead of thinking that God is dangling you over the pit of hell, you need to retrain your thinking patterns to recognize that God has never stopped loving you, and never will.
It also sounds like you are being told some of the worst kind of religious lies. If the things going through your head are echoes of things you hear in church on Sunday … stop going to church. Seriously. You are being told a whole pack of wrong ideas about God, and it is not helping you.
Instead, remember that you are more than forgiven! God isn’t mad, upset, or angry with you.
If you have not yet received my emails on the Unpardonable Sin, those might be helpful as well: https://redeeminggod.com/unforgivable-sin/
you know your right God has forgiven me . I will not listen to satans lies anymore . God says in His word that He will not cast anyone out who comes to Him . Psalms 103 even says God is not angry nor does He hold grudges . With Gods help I will not listen to anymore lies the enemy tells me . Thank you God for your mercy !
Yes! And keep reminding yourself of this as more lies get sent your way!
CHAD THERE IS HOPE FOR THIS SIN! WE LIVE IN THE END TIMES! Revelation 20:6 speaks of the second death in relation to a future period called the Millennium: “Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.” This verse notes three important facts. First, those who die for their faith in Jesus during the Tribulation will later be resurrected to enter the Millennium and live with Him. Second, these martyrs will escape the lake of fire or second death. Third, they will reign with Christ.
I’m not sure I understand ?
Chad, you didn’t commit the unpardonable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. So just pray for forgiveness and put it all behind you. God will forgive us when we repent, you have nothing to fear.
Hi lately I have been having blasphemy thoughts . At first they were forgivable thoughts cause they were not against the spirit .
but I was reading through scriptures .. I had one highlighted so I reread it again . It said blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven . Now as I went back .. it says Matthew 12:25 that Jesus knew the Pharisees thoughts .. considering they blasphemy against the spirit in their mind .. they won’t be forgiven right ? . I’m reading in nkjv . As soon as I read the passage it’s as if the devil went into my mind like hahaha I’m here . And all these thoughts agasint the spirit came in my mind .things that weren’t even there . I felt so bad . I felt as if my whole life was thrown away . .. my whole spirit . I don’t want to go to he’ll . They say that the mind and the heart are together . but my mind is full of wisdom and sometimes thoughts come in intrusively . It’s hurt me . Cause they’re very hard to control sometimes . And I know Jesus looking down hearing my thoughts and has probably moved away from me .. considering it says that the Lord will move away from the wicked . considering I have wicked thoughts sometimes .. he has moved away from me 🙁 so I feel like God won’t hear my prayer .
Lately the thoughts have disappeared I feel like the fight has loosened up .. a lot . and that’s scary cause the devil only fights against you when you’re God’s child .. has God moved away from me .. like I feel like he has cause no evil thoughts have been happening much . it’s quite shocking .
Ladavia,
Rational thought and questioning are inherent in our nature; why stifle it? Unfortunately, not all people have the intelligence, education, stick-to-it-ness to sort through what they are thinking and frame in into the correct context. Some get tangled up into emotions and project themselves into the situation – thinking it’s all about them worrying that they’ve done something wrong for thinking. I’m saddened by your thoughts of Hell. Rather than feeling guilty about naturally questioning your thoughts, I suggest writing them down. Question them. Google them. Do a little research and ask others their view. Treat your reading of the Bible as if you are reading a contract when making a major purchase from someone you do not know. If something seems wrong, will not truth set you free? If you find something to be immoral in the Bible say so, but get your facts first. Google the history of the Bible. Learn about the Council of Nicaea. Learn about changes that were made in the Bible and decisions to exclude certain parts. Check out Constantine. If you think the Bible is all divinely inspired and divinely changed, I have a bridge to sell you. Questioning can cause your faith to falter but it can lead to a better understanding of truth. Question everything freely even me!
“WE HAVE THE VICTORY”
For those struggling with thoughts of unforgiveness and attacks on the mind especially deceiving thoughts and doubts these are from satan in the word they are called fiery darts we are to quench those darts by faith so we need to read the word and believe that Gods word is true.We also have the victory over these thoughts because when we accept Jesus the holy spirit dwells within us so satan doesnt have authority over us he cannot rule what belongs to God he can only deceive.We cannot defeat the enemy in our strength we need the holy spirit when we try and overcome him in our strength we struggle especially with our thoughs and in the area of sin.If you are having evil thoughts or doubts commit your way unto the Lord and let him fight your battle.Tell the enemy he has no authority over you that you are under the covering of Jesus Christ and when you have doubts memorise verses on faith ie greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.The holy spirit is just like Jesus talk to him be friends with him he helps us to live like Christ and gives us the power to do it.We are overcomers more than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us.brentnz
And I said ” Jesus is the dev.. *
And ” Jesus works with the dev…. *
ugh i can’t believe what has come into my mind .. you know the rest.. I can’t even spell it out 🙁 it’s just not right .. I just want to go to heaven 🙁 but I don’t think I will ever be forgiven of the unforgivable sin . It’s unforgivable . =(
you did’nt commit it my friend, you would’nt be feeling the way your feeling if you did. so be at peace. SHALOM
Those thoughts arent even your own satan fires fiery darts at us to make us believe that they are ours they are not i wrote a comment above that we have the victory for those struggling with doubts and fears etc brentnz
My story is different, I do feel u have committed the unpardonable sin. I have been born again, filled with His Spirit. Yet there came a time i got bitter and left the church. I know Gods word as he called me to teach it. Somewhere along the line i just wanted out. Alot of things had happen and i went to pray one day and of course something terrible came out. First conviction hit i had been learning on fear and was listening and the last thing i remember is if fear hit run to God not from him. Fear hit,
i went to screaming what have i done what have i done. See i am a different case. The Holy Spirit do try to prove to me that i had not committed that sin, but i would not heed and i would scream what have i done, i tried to talk to my husband about it and he yelled at me and well even more block went up. I went to my Pastor oh that is a whole other story. But unlike just thoughts my mouth would not hush. God was bringing his word to me and proving i had not but he also wanted me to repent and i think my heart did not want to do that. He wanted me to trust him and i told him no i can not do that. Sure i know the Bible very well and His Holy Spirit so mine was a heart condition to begin with i am thinking… Alot more to this story than i am writing here. i am not sure if you responsd to e-mails or talk and forth through e-mail but i would love to speak more on this. i have now been tormented day and night for several years. i went back to a life of sin and did not believe God after knowing his love and he sent Jesus for my sins. So please talk with me on this. i do not wish to go back to church or be around Christians anymore. i do not want to go to hell either. But hey i did not count the cost about what was going on. i got a life without God and when he drew me back i was like i like this life and i did want him from a distance to be there for me and we know that it is the other way around we are to be vessels of honor for him. i am only hitting some highlights so as not to scare anyone into thinking God will not forgive he does….but i am one that can not be. Yes first because it was a lie when i thought i committed it. But i did more than that to go along with it. I rejected His Holy Spirit. oh very long story and His Spirit was saying don’t do this. Yet i did….please talk with me through e-mail so many fear they have committed this sin when they most certainly have not. So i do not want to make their fears worse with my story..Alot of people fear this and really you have not committed it when the fear hits, that a sure sign the devil is lying to you. As for me different.
We’re you saying I HAVE committed it ? .. in the beginning you said ” I do feel you have committed the unpardonble sin ”
but in the end you stated ” and really you have not committed it when the fear hits “
Ladavia,
Forgive me the u was a typing error, it was meant to be an I. i have read your post after you thought i was referring to you, No you have not commited this sin. It is of the heart not the mind, Yes Jesus knows our thoughts and he knows those are not your thoughts. God looks on the heart and it is plain that your heart was not thinking this way. It is plain those were thoughts of the devil. He places thoughts in our minds all the time all we have to do when i bad thought comes is ask for forgiveness for it, knowing that it isn’t from the heart. You Post plainly shows that you did not commit this sin. The Pharsies thought where from there heart they really believe in their hearts Jesus was of the devil that is not your case. You do not believe that at all, you believe he is Gods son and the devil is using Gods word against you making you think you did this sin and trying to confuse you in your mind. Yours was not an act of the heart, you need to thank God that the thoughts have stopped, that shows they were not part of your heart and God knows that, it does not mean that you are not Gods child, it means that you have gotten control of the thought and know they aren’t yours. You got use to the thoughts and when they stopped the devil used this trap oh your not a Child of God because no evil thoughts are there anymore. He just moved one thought to another. He eased up on the blasphemous thoughts then has you thinking because they aren’t there your wicked and God isn;t with you…He is playing games in your mind. Check you heart does you heart believe that Jesus is the son of God, does your mind also believe this if so. Then you have not commited this sin.. The pharises did not believe who Jesus is. They did not believe at all in their minds or hearts he is Gods Son that came take away their sins.
hey how do you manage to sleep, etc. what do you do to live on earth?
what would you recommend to someone if they had done this sin?
Romans 5:8: “I loved you at your darkest.”
Tammy, you believe in Christ being the Son of God. Your very concern about your “sin” and your eagerness to share it and your attempt to comfort and encourage another shows that the COMFORTER is working from within you, without you even realising it. YOU HAVE NOT COMMITTED THE UNPARDONABLE SIN! The devil has mislead you into this misery.
If you think that you have committed the “unforgivable sin”, there are two questions that you need to ask yourself.
1. Do you feel convicted about your sin?
2. Are you capable of repenting for your sin?
The bible is very clear that once you reach the point of no return in relation to the unforgivable sin, the Holy Spirit that is within all of us will withdraw from you completely; you will never feel convicted about your sin and you will be incapable of repenting. I’m not talking about pride getting in the way or feeling so ashamed that you can’t bring yourself to repent for it because you automatically assume that God won’t forgive you. I mean that it will be physically impossible for you to repent.
Our God is so merciful, gracious and Lovable, brothers and sisters let us be steadfast in the Lord.
whenever you sin or think that something is really going wrong in our lives, we should freely run to Him for help. In. Isaiah 43:25 God says that He forgives and cleanses us of our sins without any punishment in return. if only you can repent sincerely from your heart. God is evermore merciful and gracious. that situation you are into, do not worry further, ask him for forgiveness and try not to venture into sin again. ask for his holy spirit to guide you. we serve a Loving father
I repeated something sombody (that was really horrible) said trying to tell my grandmother and I am so distraught and stressed out. I’m 14 years old. Please help! Have I committed the unforgivable sin?
No, you have not. Saying something bad is not the unforgivable sin. God loves you and always will.
I’m Horrified because I’m not Horrified, I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong in the past, I’ve been worried for a while that I have committed the Unpardonable sin because I have Intrusive thoughts (I have really bad Anxiety.) and whenever someone says something that is against god or anything In my head I instantly repeat it over and over and keep telling myself that I haven’t committed the unpardonable sin, but then after reading a couple of these posts my fear of this was slightly reduced, but then at the end of the post it states that “If you are afraid of committing this Sin then the Holy Spirit still resides in you.” and It’s very difficult to explain, but I’m scared and I’m not scared at the same time, I feel as though all my repentance is just the will not to go to hell and suffer eternally, at the same time I keep telling myself that I have repented because I truly want forgiveness and to follow God’s plan, And I sometimes Cry about it, and force myself to think about how I’m gonna go to hell just so I feel scared and then I realize that it’s artificial and get distressed that God is not going to forgive me, and then saying to myself “You haven’t committed this sin…” Because I feel that I haven’t done anything but I could’ve because i’ve done all that in my head, and then that scares me even more because I feel like I have committed the sin by not being afraid, and I can’t stop because I constantly stress myself to always be scared, but I don’t want to be scared and when I’m not afraid I feel as though I’ve committed the sin, I also feel as though I’ve committed the unpardonable sin is because I went from Christian, to Atheist, then to Agnostic, and then repented and became christian again. After all that I forgot even what I thought I did in the first place, And I tell myself that if I am doing all of that then I care about it, and then I think about it and that it’s possible to just go on with my life without stressing about all of this… and then when I die I’ll go to hell and burn forever…and then at the same time I don’t want to constantly freak out about it and live my entire life in fear of going to hell… My Parents are Atheists and say that I should just live my life without worrying about it and being nice to people and being an overall good person, and I’m not old enough to go to church, so I just repent quietly in my room, Perhaps when I was younger I have sworn to god on things that may or may not have been true, and then I repeat those things in my head, and I would get scared. I feel like My heart just doesn’t want to Repent, it just wants me to be free of all the anxiety, and the stress, and the sorrow, and I then realize how much more of my life I have and I don’t want to live my life in fear that I’m not being serious about my repentance and I just want to go to heaven so I don’t have to suffer when I die, and I’m selfish and wicked..I was reading some of the comments, and when you said: “(1) don’t think they committed it, (2) don’t care that they have committed it, and (3) don’t care about being forgiven.” I thought for a second and decided that I don’t think I committed and constantly tell myself that god loves me and I’ll go to heaven, I keep telling myself deep in my heart I don’t care that I’ve committed it and it scares me so much…if thats true… and I really really care about being forgiven because I’m doing…all that…and it’s starting to make me depressed.. I’m 12, I can’t live my entire life feeling like this..I don’t want to ..
hey, do you have trouble sleeping much or not really?
You need to understand the fact that the fear of having committed the unpardonable sin is the manifestation of your concern about your salvation, about your eternal security, about eternal life. There is a big difference between a person who hasn’t committed the unpardonable sin and is free from the fear of having committed it, and the unpardonable sinner who has no fear about having committed it. The difference is that the unpardonable sinner has no fear because he doesn’t care that he has committed it; he KNOWS that he has sinned, does not want to be forgiven and he doesn’t care about it and does not even want to care. In stark contrast to that, a person who hasn’t committed the unpardonable sin and isn’t haunted by the fear of having committed it desires to be saved, desires eternal life and desires forgiveness; however sinful he maybe, he desires the love of God and desires to be made right in His sight. So don’t torture yourself by being afraid that you are not afraid. God wants you to know this, therefore I pass this message of the Comforter on to you.
So in my head i keep having blasphemous thoughts of the holy spirt and jesus, like its just random thoughts that pop in and out making jesus look/come across as something hes not or mocking them all. I have never ever said what these thoughts that popped into my head were and anyone who says what religion i am i say christian because i am. But because i have these thoughts is that the unforgivable sin or do you have to say it with your mouth what these are or do thoughts count the same as “speaking”?
Thank You,
For me the epiphany concerning unforgivable sin, and God’s love for us occurred after my grandchildren were born. When I spend time with them, and look into their eyes, I can only think of mercy and forgiveness for them. There is nothing that could separate me, and my love for those children. Nothing. Then I think of God’s promise to me that nothing will separate me from His love and forgiveness. God looks at me the same way I look at my grandchildren only with infinitely more love and forgiveness. If God loves me that much, even though I fail daily to walk in His steps, I can have the peace of eternally, secure, love in Him.
Yes! To think that God would hate us forever because of something we said or did (often in a time of anger or depression) makes God’s love lesser than human love.
So, is questioning in conversation what the pharasees said even if I didn’t believe it the same thing? I felt contempt toward Jesus, and kept questioning even though I had the feeling it might be blasphemous and had the though “I believe that jesus heals by the holy spirit” but kept debating/questioning, maybe even tried to throw the other person off their faith but didn’t outright say that I believed it (and don’t) until I realized it may be the blasphemy of the holy spirit and stopped. This came about by reading someone saying what the pharasees said, and I brought it up as a kind of conversation/debate.. like purposefully doubting. I don’t even know why. I had a lot of negativity toward God back then. Im terrified every day now.. feel like God is telling me I did do it in a strong way, but want forgivenesss so incrediblymuch. Ive felt apathy for a long time This is deadening me even more inside. I feel like all I can do is wait for a terrible fate at the end of my life and focus on whether I can get someone I know who is not doomed to pray for my family, so they don’t come to this. I guess there’s no hope.. I might have also said an insulting thing toward the HS before. more out of stress/impulse like, my mind/concious said something that irritated me and I replied angrily in return. don’t remember. please help?
”Miss Christina” your not going to hell, for one.
for two, the devil knows how to realy use it against you, and cause you to feel, and believe that you did it. in witch you did not commit it, if you did, why are you on here?…..that does’nt make sense. you would’nt be asking for forgiveness, and would’nt be feeling the way your feeling, the pharasees were not like that
you being in here means you did’nt commit it, your nether forgiven nor unforgiven meaning, it was the enemy that was attacking you. don’t know how he does it yet, but that’s what that means. theres a man by the name of ”Alan Horvath” check him out when you get the chance. SHALOM
p.s. remember if your concerned about it, and asking for help means your good, your not going to hell.
and oh yea if you still have The Fathers Spirit in you that means you still his child, witch means your still sealed.
we have to allways keep in mind when people like the pharasees that commit such sins the ”door has been shut on them” there fate has been sealed so there going to hell and they don’t care, nor are they even worried or concerned, (if you were like that), that would mean you would’nt be scared of going to hell, you would’nt be asking for help, you would’nt be worried, nor would you care. the door would’iv been shut on you as well, you would’iv looked at this place as meaning-less’ and say this website is ”this and that” you would hate this website. plus if you did, The Fathers Spirit would no longer be in you.
so be at peace my friend, i’ll be praying for all of you.
Hello, I am extremely worried that I have committed this terrible sin, I have strong anxiety and was really paranoid thinking that God might be hiding something from us or that the Devil was/is working with the Holy Spirit, I didn’t want to believe or think these things, I keep saying the devil is a liar and the Holy Spirit is the good of the world, Jesus is loving and so on. Today I am wrapped with guilt, worry and anxiety, I was praying asking God for forgiveness and help. I want to be somebody who God is happy with, I don’t want to offend anyone and am so scared and worried that I have committed this sin? I want Jesus to love me and I want to go to Heaven? I have strong anxiety about other things but this is my main worry, please help me
do you hav touble sleeping does your heart pound? reply, if so i am with you
i am not sure if I’ve committed this sin, i worry about it a lot and care and seek God. Have i?
My pastor says it’s refusal of the spirit saying ” spirit I will do it my way I don’t care what you say I will sin if I want no matter the shame you put on me I don’t wants God’s forgiveness. ”
Billy graham says ” it’s unbelife in Jesus not believing in his free gift of salvation and forgiveness. ”
But the question is how do they know it?
The way to know is to study the passage in its grammatical and cultural context.
But remember this: God always forgives all people of all sins.
HEY C4rismatic I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL MAN, IV HAD THAT BEFORE. YOUR NOT ALONE MY FRIEND.IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR BRAIN BRO. physical & spiritual thing going on.
hey ”Phill” if your scared then that means, you not have committed it. your ok my friend. i know the feeling its horrorble…rest assured your not going to hell.
Hi. I just really started going to church. I really originally knew next to nothing about my religion. I became paranoid when I feared I commitied this sin to the point ware I kept thinking several times and things kept popping up in my head. I prayed for help and it wasn’t until a while ago I felt relieved those word came back less and less the more I repented and prayed. I feel a lot better and my faith and God is at an all time high. I know I haven’t committed this sin. Thanks to your website talking to my paster and praying, but I litterly knew nothing about my religion. I just thought back to I time when me and my friend were texting random letters and sending them to each other and seeing what words auto correct would change them to. one of mine said “burn church” I didn’t ever know of this sin until recently and knew nothing about my religion I said to him you know I didn’t mean that he said yes and I never really thought about it until now I prayed God to forgive me for all of my Sins I don’t even know has many times but not once thought about this I had no intention to go against him and I repented for it not long after I thought of it but what bothers me is I didn’t know of this sin and wasn’t ever worried I honestly had absolutely no intention behind it and never thought about it have I commited this sin? I’m 13 and I’m not sure what to make of this
Thanks for your help
God bless you
Kelsey
What I’m asking is have I committed this sin the day I was texting and not even realize and am I forgiven if I prayed and asked for forgiveness know that I know?
You know what, never mind. The more I think about it the more I think I haven’t committed it, not only was it not on purpose. But the fact that I now know more about god, and the fact that I was able to recognize the fact that is was wrong even though this was months ago and wanted forgiveness and repented proves that I care and that I want to strengthen my bond with God proves that I care!! Thank you everyone for posting your stories and for this site to help me!!
God bless you

I have seen many i individuals that’s have struggled with this. It can sometimes be a little overwhelming to comprehend. But i have had my own encounters with ” unforgivable sins ” , my story may not be the ” new one ” or ” one that has never been told ” , but it’s one that can help many young teens. Growing up i thought God was punishing my sisters and i , we lost our mom , we never imagined loosing someone who kept a foundation of our home, it hurt , i questioned God , hated him , said i don’t believe in Him because he took the one woman that i didn’t think i could do without. Then years later , my grandmother passed , oh – did that put a tole on me spiritually. I told myself how can God break my heart , i thought he loved me unconditionally. !? He was being questioned like it was jeopardy show (-: . it took not only life experience to wake me up but it also took understanding. I honestly did not understand the bible , how he worked , nothing at all that would get me to come to God Side . Until one day i had witnessed something disturbing at my school. I prayed !!! i didn’t fully understand what i was praying for but i remembered saying ” God keep us at peace ” – several times ! I did , at that moment understood that god may not come when you want but he is always on time! 🙂 . i leaned not unto my OWN understanding but to His. I learned to NOT question is WORK! And most of all i understand that He wants something great as well. My mother and grandmother . i thought i was getting my first plan ticket to ” the bad place ” as what my sunday school teachers would say – but i was taught that God has a Pure heart and doesn’t bestow hatred upon his children and forgives us for all our sins! i hope my story motivates ans encourages you to give God a fighting change & step out onto faith . He makes the impossible possible and makes your rainiest days bright. Have a A BLESSED day . #TSSG
The unforgivable sin is when you know that Jesus is the savior and the way to heaven with certainty (say if God has spoken to you) and then commit a sin against him believing that Jesus is not the way to heaven. I have committed this sin. I asked for forgiveness from God after my divorce and God presented himself to me saying “I am”. I then committed adultery. God has left me. I no longer feel convicted of sin and all the love I had is gone. I’m eternally doomed. Please have faith in Jesus as he is the only way to heaven.
Nicole,
What you have done is not the unforgivable sin. You are already forgiven by God for these things. What is actually going on is that you continue to beat yourself up for the things you have done, thinking that God cannot love you or forgive you. But the truth is that He does love and forgive you, and wants you to forgive yourself as well.
Hi.
I remember reading Matthew 12. My parents explained to me about the unforgivable sin. My problem is when I worry about something or if I don’t want to do or say, I think about it. I feel afraid that I’ve committed it. Like you know, comparing the Holy Spirit’s power to Satan’s. I don’t want to think that, but I do. I’m scared. I don’t want to think bad stuff, and I want to learn how to control my thoughts. I don’t agree with what I think and I’m not even sure about anything about me anymore. I just want to make sure I stay with the Lord. That’s all.
That is also what happened to me I am 12 and the devil put it into my mind but I know it’s not true and don’t think it is and I was so scared because it happened like 2 days ago and I realized the problem is that you have to ask lord to free you this is the devil trying to make you miserable you need to have faith today I asked god to forgive me because I don’t know why it came into my head and I didn’t think god loved me but I told my dad what happened and he said that it is I felt you say notice say it to someone that it’s the truth that is what it means and I felt god in me today and he took away all my bad thoughts and now I know I am forgiven all you need to do is captivate those thoughts and say god free me because if you have committed the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit it’s not that god doesn’t want to forgive you it is that the person that has done it made up there mind and they don’t want forgiveness. So you have not done it, it is if you say it to someone and you say that it is exactly what’s the truth, the spirit is working inside you and trying to give you faith that is all that is holding you back
I’ve had my own problems with this sin, sucks like hell when you think you’ll never be forgiven. I had this problem just 2 weeks ago in fact. I read all over the Internet about this sin and started regretting it. For example, if I read the unpardonable sin is one where you say ABC (obviously it ain’t that I’m just giving an example) I would immediately think ABC. Then begin to think I’ve thought it, very silly actually. The devil would trick me into thinking I’ve committed it, and that would leave me depressed and scared. But when you think about it, it keeps messing you up. All you gotta do is take comfort in Romans 8:1. God,s love knows no bounds, and honestly even if you said something bad in your head about the Holy Spirit, you’ll be forgiven In fact you ARE forgiven. To stop these thoughts requires work from us as well. Fast, pray and read the bible daily. Because a saved Christian cannot become “unsaved” as Jesus promised eternal life.
Hi….
So, Months ago I repented and then months later I got baptised at the beginning of August this year. And there was happiness but at night, There was sinful thoughts in my mind, And the joy went away and I had that horrible feeling which was hard to explain. I felt a bit sad or miserable and then the next day, I felt normal again but there was still a bit of sadness at times. So when I confessed, I think the sadness went away. But what’s bothering me is that I’m not even worried and scared. I don’t even know if I care or not. I repented today and felt nothing and I don’t know, I’m real confused about this whole thing. I’m just emotionless now and I don’t know if I have stopped believing or not. I just feel empty inside and I remember when I was worried about losing my salvation. I might have committed the unforgivable sin but I don’t know…… And I don’t know if God is still with me anymore. Please help, I know I was saved but I have a feeling I have lost hope and salvation now.
Interesting that you mention nothing about Jesus. After all He is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him. He is the one who died on the cross for your sins and was raised for your justification. Baptism has nothing to do with saving you and reconciling you to God. You haven’t committed the unforgivable sin so quit worrying about it. Set your feelings aside and focus on the facts. Your feelings can mislead you, but the facts stay the same regardless of how you feel.
Look to Jesus! Believe the gospel!
The Gospel
1 Corinthians 15
1. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
Sorry, I was tired last night I didn’t even explain properly. What I meant was, Yes Jesus saved me months ago I remember that he changed my life. And I know baptism doesn’t save me but I did get baptised after I was saved. It’s just last night, When I heard about the unforgivable sin I started having that empty or far away feeling. But your right, My feelings have mislead me a few times and even last night! Thank you for explaining this to me I’ll try and remember to focus more on God and less on my feelings. 🙂
Holly its not about how we feel its the decision you made to accept Jesus so you are saved and you are now part of Gods family and the body of Christ.The enemy likes to play mind games to make us doubt our faith especially as a new believer.The word tells us that when we believe in Jesus we are saved.John 3:16 Personally i dont believe we can lose that as it is a free gift not based on what we do right or do wrong.As he died for us while we were still sinners..If we continue to sin after receiving the Lord he will definitely discipline us because he loves us and knows how destructive sin is in our lives.regards brentnz
Brentnz, Yeah through the months I have noticed what the Devil has been doing. I have been aware these days what’s been going through my mind and feelings all that nervousness and dirty thoughts was from Satan and I don’t let that bother me anymore. When I ignore him and focus on Jesus, Satan gives up. 🙂 Also thanks for explaining that I think I get it now!
Hey there jeremey i had.a.thought in my.head saying i.sell my.soul.then my.anxiety kicked.in i.got.really.scared because.i.believe in god.then i.said.i.sell my.soul to satan no.i dont.jesus will.protect.me.i feel emotionless.because off how muched ive.stressed i dont want.to.go to.hell have i commited the.unpardanabld sin?
Jack you cant sell what you dont have satan already had us under his control through our sinful nature once we give our lives to Christ we are Christs and then are protected from the enemy he also empowers us so we walk according to our new nature so we wont be influenced by satan.That is why we must be born again.You need to be saved by believing in Jesus Christ that he was the son of God and died for our sin then you wont be worried about what you think you have done or might do once you believe in him there is no doubt that you are forgiven and saved through the blood of Jesus.jOHN 3:16 say that if we believe in Jesus Christ Gods son we shall have eternal life.brentnz
I read and did the laws of attraction from the book “The Secret”. In the book said you can bring what ever you wish for to yourself by thinking positive thoughts and asking and then thanking the universe for what ever you wish for. I later read about blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I am
Very repentful _and repeatedly have asked god to forgive me. Am I destend to hell. PLease help!!!
Holly we are all the same we all struggle with our thoughts with guilt our flesh life but our walk with Christ makes us stronger.It took me a while but it is in my weakness that i am an overcomer as you are that is when i say Lord i cant do it and ask him to help empower me with his holy spirit and he does.I trust him to help me deal with temptations and also just daily life to help me with the work i do he is awesome.I used to give in to my old nature now i dont because it is the Lord who is helping me to be like him.You are holy and righteous not by what you do but because of what Christ has done for you. He has given you the same power to overcome sin as he has me just trust in the Lord with all your heart and see your identity is in him not ourselves .Let his life and his light shine through you.I believe that the Lord has awesome plans for you that is why the enemy is laying traps to distract you from the truth trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding i am trusting in the Lord that he will give you a breakthrough in this area.regards brentnz.
Hey Jeremy I have been struggling with this issue on the unpardonable sin for a while due to my suffering from PTSD caused by my moms getting sick from cancer and dying from it. I know that she was a Christian and so am I . I also suffer from anxiety due to my moms passing. I think I may have said somethings to God out of anger and ignorance that I am not aware of because of these experiences only to repent in tears. I feel so weak at this time and I need to know that I am forgiven. Can you give some advice on how to handle this situation?
respond as soon as possible because I am going through a really bad time.
Hey James,
It looks like Jeremy has answered concerns similar to yours above, so scroll up there and read them. It seems like Satan likes to attack Christians this way by causing them to doubt their salvation and ultimately doubt God himself and his love for his children. Salvation requires faith and we all need to continue to exercise our faith in God and his goodness until the day we die. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, so immerse yourself in his Word. I do that daily and it has worked wonders for me in many ways. The Word is the sword of the Spirit mentioned in Ephesians 6 which will help you defend yourself from the lies and attacks of the devil. If you confess your sins, God is faithful and just to forgive them. Do not doubt his faithfulness. This is not necessarily an easy solution because it takes effort and commitment. But then it doesn’t sound like you are looking for an easy solution. You sound like you want to get this problem solved at any cost. There is a way. Walk in it.
All I need to know is that I am forgiven, because I do deep down in my heart regret what I have said, and I do need to know that I am forgiven. I
That is not all you need to know which is why you must immerse yourself in the Word. But consider this. The Holy Spirit led you to repentance so that you could have forgiveness. Here’s a passage for you to meditate on in Colossians 1.
9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
James you are forgiven because the word says so.1 John 1:9New International Version (NIV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.Just believe… regards brentnz
I committed the unforgivable sin when I turned agnostic. I knew the bible said blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was unforgivable and ten years ago, I cursed Him to prove to myself I didn’t believe in Christianity. I said so many bad things about religion and God out of disbelief.
Now I know I was wrong and I feel so much remorse for hurting God. I have been suicidal over the guilt. I wish I could be forgiven but I know I damned myself to eternal torment. I feel like im already there. I just want to feel Gods love and forgiveness. I keep asking myself why did I reject God when all he wanted was my love??? And why did he open my eyes now to believe?
Since God opened your eyes to believe, then respond to his love and put your faith in Him. What have you got to lose? I hope his amazing love will encourage you to never turn your back on him again.
Hi I’m back! I just found out what the unforgivable sin really is and I was so scared to even think anything like that and the devil gave me some very horrible thoughts against the Holy Spirit which I right away said no that isn’t true and I never think or will admit that is true because it isn’t and so after that the devil took control of my mind and kept on saying you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit god doesn’t love you god won’t forgive you and I kept on crying and crying because I thought that I really did because of the thoughts that just came to my mind on accident that I never thought was true and I myself didn’t even know why it came in my head then yesterday I cried out to god free me help me lord and those bad thoughts from the devil that I didn’t mean go away but then again today in the morning the devil tried to take control of me again I have told my dad and he said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can only be done by words and that he knows I didn’t do it but yet again the devil still said no god does not love you and today I came to some realization and started to have faith in god and I felt him inside me and all the bad thoughts went away. But I still want to ask all of you on here what do you think for when I thought those horrible things I didn’t think they were true and didn’t know why it came in my mind do you think god has forgiven me?
I may be the one who committed this sin. I have, for a long time (2-3 months) let sin to reign in my life, and I did not even notice that I was in continual sin, even though I have been warned many times I took my backslidden condition lightly. I was indifferent and neglected my relationship with the Most High and although I felt I was doing okay, I deceived myself, I trusted my own heart (Pro 28:26). This happened to me before and now again,my soul feels so far away from the Father, I repented, I want to turn away from my sin, but its impossible because there’s no renewal! I have very little faith. Has God truly forsaken me forever? I hope not.
Sometimes I have these thoughts saying I don’t care if I go “there” because I don’t really know how bad it is and I pray to God saying I’m sorry for thinking that but the truth is, I’m confused. I’m confused if I’m say those thoughts because I don’t know how bad it actually is because I’m 10 or because I just don’t care. I want to go to heaven but I have these thoughts saying I don’t care if I don’t make it and I do. I have these thoughts saying blasphemous thoughts against the holy spirit. An example is one day i came across a video named “how to be stupid”and I immediately say in the front of my head “be the holy spirit” and I said “NO NO NO” have I actually committed the unpardonable sin because I’ve gotten so used to the ocd thoughts now I’m saying in the front of my head an I don’t mean them. My OCD thoughts used to be in the back of my head but now their in the front. Please help I’m ten and I have a long beautiful life ahead of me with the lord but I feel like I have blasphemed the holy spirit and I’m scared my future will be lonely and my lord and savior won’t be in it.
I also said one might “I blasphemany the holy spirit and I forgot If it was a blasphemous thought or not but it probably was because I was in a prayer asking God to forgive me for another different sin and I said it. Will he forgive for saying I blasphemy the holy spirit. ( the way I said it wasn’t like a confession but more of me saying something I’m proud of and I’m not proud to blasphemy against the holy spirit.
Also one night I said “The holy spirit is stupid” and then “it is” and I didn’t know if it was an ocd thought or not but I said it during a prayer and I didn’t feel sorry I told God that but I didn’t feel worried that I didn’t feel sorry but now, I’m kind of worried I have done blasphemy against the holy spirit but at the same time I don’t and it feel like I’m not scared that I have but at the same time I’m crying when I’m writing this because I’m worried. I’m confused with my emotions and I really don’t want to blasphemy against the holy spirit.
I was tormented when I thought as a teenager that I had committed the unpardonable sin… when I first accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior I was so happy and never wanted to sin again. Then when I ran across the unpardonable sin in the book of Matthew, I was terrified That I could commit this sin. Thoughts of cursing God would barrage my mind and I would cry. Then After reading about this sin I became obsessed that I may have committed it because of those cursing thoughts.. I thought I couldn’t be forgiven anymore and I reasoned that if Jesus said there was a sin that couldn’t be forgiven then the only way to find out of I was forgiven would be to know what that sin was and to see i hadn’t committed it. The thing was though, was that I wanted to know I hadn’t committed it, but I didn’t want to know what it was for fear I would then be thinking on it. Anyway, one day I went to my college library and saw an old bible dictionary and with trembling hands I opened it and read what the commentary said. It went on to say that the Pharisees were calling good evil and evil good and that they were calling Jesus not of God ,(I can’t even write what it says they were calling Him, because it bothers me and hurts me beyond belief), then I reasoned in myself and said to myself “oh my God, if they said that, what’s good? Why I says to myself love is good, and mercy and kindness and etc how could they call that evil, and just by reasoning about what they said, I felt that I had committed that sin….I was completely terrified and i ran out of the library saying to myself I’ll never be the same again because these words had tainted my mind and now they would haunt me…I hated this….I wanted God to know that I wanted to live for Him and Love Him like before I read this in that Bible commentary. I know it sounds crazy but all I could think about was that whenever anything good came into my mind, I thought about how they called it evil and I was afraid that because of that, that I was doing it….All I know is I want things to be as before when I first came to Jesus before finding out about thus sin.
Its been a couple of months since you posted but i post this as encouragement praying it will reach you if you need it. I too fled church when i discovered the unpardonable sin. It seems its a favorite strategy of Satan but its a last ditch desperation to cause you to flee.
Your walk during the good times must have been incredibly powerful as i believe this fear can be a final strategy of desperation of the evil one.
I lived it for 20 years outside of a Church (A fully secular life of sin)
If you do not already realize it you have all the power and authority Jesus, everything is in submission to the name of Jesus. It was won on the cross. Ask what ever you wish to leave in Jesus name and it is done. (and no you are not Demon possessed either- you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, another favorite strategy). In fact ask anything in Jesus name. It is already answered. Put on the full armor of God and it will protect you. God Bless in your walk and i look forward to seeing you in Glory.
Seda,
Do not be discouraged. I can say with full assurance that you have not committed the unpardonable sin. Jesus promised that he would never reject anyone who comes to him. That includes you! He loves you with all his heart.
I want you to consider something. Do you think that God knows the future? I expect you do. Do you think that when you first gave your life to Jesus he would know what you would say, think or do in the future? I expect you believe this too. So now consider this when you asked him to forgive your sins did he only forgive the sins you had committed up to that point or did he save you from all your sins…past, present and future? The bible tells us that he died for all of our sins and that when we put our trust in him we have past from death to life.
Yes Christians still sin, but our sin has been dealt with at the cross, where Jesus died for us. The scripture actually says that, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Cor 5:21 It may amaze you to think “how could I (with all my ugly sin) ever be the righteousness of God. What is more amazing is how could Jesus with all his loveliness and holiness be made Sin. You see that is Gods wonderful trade off through Jesus…the great exchange He took yours and my sin and gave us his righteousness. That is why were saved, not because we stopped sinning, but rather we were made into new creations.
One last thing I want you to do. Memorize this verse and say it out loud to yourself whenever you feel like God hates you or rejects you. Galatians 2:20 and 21 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”
This passage tells us that when Jesus died, we died and that he now lives inside us. It tells us that live by faith in his love and sacrifice for us and best of all that being right with God does not happen because we quit sinning, but rather because Jesus died for our sins and gave us His righteousness!
God Bless you and I pray that God will heal you of your fear of being rejected by Him, because he will never do that.
David
I’m very afraid sometimes I feel sorry and sometimes I do not.
I say grace before I eat and sleep but I always have blasphemous thoughts and I usually end up saying grace 10 ten times before I eat or sleep because I feel like God doesn’t approve of them or maybe I did it wrong. I haven’t been eating a lot recently and I have thoughts saying that satan is helping me with my health since I’m a little overweight and I keep telling myself I don’t want satans help and that I want Gods help but I feel like I don’t care that satans helping me. I don’t want to starve but I can’t go one grace prayer without blasphemy. Usually I say that starving me could kill me but I feel like I don’t care.
Hi David-
I assume you have discerned Seda may well be Trolling.
Amazing insight and speech and OCD understanding for a 10 year old!
Graceful response.
I wish i was not struck by fear at the discernment of almost replying from a compassionate heart to the stated issue.
I was answering a message when God halted me, had me delete it, simplify it, then scroll up and down and and emphasized the age in a passage i hadn’t read.
I am praying for the individual behind it, they are here and so is the Holy Spirit, i used to troll too carrying the Holy Spirit in blindness. I was curious and really wanted salvation but i trolled Christians too.
Let us join in prayer for them. I understand if you do not personally reply to this for obvious reasons.
Though you can address my fear of what i discern and Gods “late” intervention at the critical moment.
Wow. Praise God for your insight. I cursed God to his face after being rejected by the Church 28 years ago. I took the responsibility for that sin and every other committed for 20 years outside the church living a life of sin. The fires of Hell burned against me and my soul. However I was regenerate and didn’t know it.I was blinded, I had both warring natures. This article really resonated with me. I returned to the church 8 years ago. I am home with Christ now and i also thought i was hated. Praise God. It was a hard 8 years and i was still rejected once more but the victory was already one. It was a mess, sin after sin as the inner war was acted out in public and i was rejected again. But the Holy Spirit led me home. My heart now Praises the way i always wanted. I don’t have to look at Christians praising God while in my heart i believed that the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Father rejected me and my heart broke wanting to lift my hands. Come home you his children you are welcome, you are loved and you are his. Don’t listen to the lie any longer! If your heart wants to praise and your mind curses you are loved. Your are his. You are regenerate. Lift up your eyes and look to the cross. It was for you. Come home…I am now facing the end of the worst circumstances of my life.. and the beginning of the second worst. And God will provide and he is with me every step of the way. Come home to a father heart, a mother heart (no blaspheme here but we don’t hear enough of the mother wounding today). Come home you his beloved. Come home he knocks on the door of your heart. He waits for you to open the door. If you have, “it is done” as he said as his last words on the cross! Just let him work it out in the Spirit and he will guide you to new seasons and refreshment of spirit despite the world you are facing. He Loves you for his names sake. He does not abandon you to orphan hood for his Glory and his namesake, no matter the sin, no matter the curse or blaspheme, you have magnified his beauty, you have magnified his grace. Come home. He beckons. Fall to your knee and cry from the anguish in your heart..then let him lift your heart in Praise. Come home….I have prayed over this word, it is a profession and Revelation, to you who reads, this is for you straight from Gods heart to YOU. amen.
Forgiveness is so very important and you are absolutely correct. We are forgiven by God without any doubt. I think our humanity gets in the way of this because we feel like we should be punished for our detestable actions.
Satan and his army do such a terribly good job of convincing us otherwise. He loves to hold us down and keep us feeling guilty for years. Wretched being needs us all to tell him to go away and leave us alone!
Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling with these thoughts as well and kept remembering every single sin I committed before accepting Jesus and felt like it was unforgivable.
I met with many people because I was really terrified and had panic attacks, I thought I had sold my soul to the devil and stuff.
But I thought about something: if the unforgivable sin was something we could do, say or think once and then we could no longer repent and be forgiven no matter how much we wanted to then the devil would bring us all to do it so that we could no longer be saved.
But the truth is, and satan knows that, that if we are repentant and want to be made right with God and receive His forgiveness, then we can be forgiven! Even if what you did seems humanly unforgivable. And God wants to forgive you. That’s why He sent His son Jesus Christ. He did not do that for the righteous but for even the worst of sinners. Jesus paid the price for your sins so that God could forgive you, isn’t that amazing?!
The devil will however try to steal your peace, your joy, and will fill your heart with doubt. Don’t listen to him and remember what Jesus did for you.
Oh you of little faith, don’t you know you all are forgiven when you believe on Christ? But Charles! charles! I did a terrible sin i swore at the holy spirit, Blasphemed God! Charles!!! How can you say that? Ho-h-how can you say tha-… Because God’s word is his word. “Just as I swore in the time of Noah that i would never again let a flood cover the earth, so now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you.” – Isaiah 54:9 Paul teaches that the foundation of this amazing righteousness, is secured in the blood of Christ. The holy God who bleed as a man, became cursed, that we may be blessed. So this gives God the righteous foundation to forgive all ungodliness. Paul says “Let God be just and justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” I used to believe I was condemned, due to some leaders who have brought the law back into the church, in doing so fulfilled the curse written about in Jude, they have dishonored Christ. My friends I used to believe I had committed the unpardonable sin, if anyone thinks they have, I have more reason to, but Christ has restored me and brought me to his solid foundation. You are a house, if you define who you are based on what you do, what you say you have built yourself upon the sand, but if you believe in Christ to justify you even though you feel like you should be condemned. That is the true foundation of our faith, Christ and his sacrifice, let the curse remain on ministers or leaders or myself, if we preach to you confession of sin, therefore renewing sinconsciousness, faithlessness, self-righteousness, self-occupation.
“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have (Perfect tense) peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us (Perfect tense) into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand (Perfect tense!) and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” Romans 5:1-2, You might say, Wow, wow, wow settle down charlie, you have to obey, what about the commandments, what about things like Hebrews 10:26, wow, wow, wow. Excuse me, voice of unbelief, I did not make this up, this is the bible It just assured us 3 times of our position, and scripture cannot be broken. This is not my teaching.. Therefore if you try to legalize God’s grace, therefore no grace is no longer grace, and imply the work of Jesus Christ failed, then I want you to consider the damage you can to do to our young and sincere believers in this chat and yourselves as paul writes, “As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you embraced, let him be under a divine curse!” Gala 1:9 And again here, “All who rely on works of the Law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Gala 3:10, For we who are in Christ are saved and forevermore have peace with God 🙂 Please do not mis-represent God by giving the law to fellow believers, we all have this Hope, and hope is not the uncertain hope we illustrate in our modern language, “I Hope so! you never know.” No, the bible hope is different, it is a confident expectation of good. When we look to the future as in Roman’s 5:2 rejoice for we will share in God’s Glory, do not be afraid child of God, “we write you these things so that you may know you have eternal life” And how is this made possible, by us? or by another, yes another, Christ has completed all the requirements of the law, including blasphemy of the holyspirit, he never blasphemed, but was judged as though he had, hallelujah, rejoice, for Christ has redeemed us by faith!
Pastors and leaders, I plead with you not to meddle with the Grace of God and the Gospel of Grace. When uncomplete forgiveness is preached, the possibility of falling out of favor and relationship with God is preached, the sincere honest believers will believe what you say, and become so fearful of God. That they leave your churches frustrated and unstable, fearing God might smite them any moment. I believed this too, when I had thought I was cut off from Christ because of something I had said or done. Hence, I became so unsound, you would not be able to believe that what I am typing came from me.
I do not lie, Please for the love of God, preach full forgiveness of sins and not partial forgiveness.
Excellent comment, Charles. I agree with you 100%
Thanks for encouraging the readers here and those who struggle with the fear of this sin.
Glory to God! He brought me from such a dark place, Jeremy Myers what you are doing is so amazing, you were such an absolute blessing to myself a few years ago, only the presence of you, brought peace to my heart. I am afraid many pastors teach that you can be cut-off from Christ.
If you are reading this and wondering, is he for real? Yes.
the devil made me believe I had committed a sin strong enough to completely separate me from the love of God in Christ, I now know that the only sin that can separate us from Christ, is never receiving him in the first place. God is unjust in condemning you if you have believed in Christ, God cannot, will not, condemn Christ then condemn me, the law of double jeopardy would be broken. Does that mean we don’t do wrong? no, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves.” Nope we come into agreement with God by saying Christ Jesus has filled every requirement of the law! and my debt is paid, surely I will not condemn myself when God says I am “Justified.”
“He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD” (Btw Jeremy, that must make you and I the opposite! :)..)
There was one time in this episode of my life, when I believed I was forever condemned
this happened:
1.) The thought I could die in the “second death” and not burn in hell forever brought me relief and helped me sleep.
2.) My stress level’s were so high I could not sit still for 5 seconds without walking back and forth to relieve stress (That, and some construction work resulted in me not sleeping for about three days, and because of my stress levels the sleep I got was only about 6 hours, praise God I sleep like a baby now).
3.) I had an attempt of going and witnessing, during those three days when I had no sleep, Satan convinced me that god might see me, when those people became saved and remember me.
When the devil first told me the lie, I flipped open my bible to Matthew 12, oh man, I thought God was telling me to my face I was condemned. However I thank Him and I am grateful for this whole ordeal, it has made me such a stable person.
You could imagine what shock I was in, I was quivering, as I walked bawling my eyes to my parents. And I said to them “I think I committed the unpardonable sin” it was such a dark place, but now I know Jesus was there with me the whole time, I just didn’t see him, I was always relying on myself, and not Jesus, in a way I was self-righteous, instead of Jesus-righteous. I made that up. :D. Ohwell as we were crying, my dad wasn’t much help because he believes in a lot of law keeping when it comes to Christ, my mum was holding my hand as I was falling down the side of the couch, I felt like they were both righteous and here I am “a failure,” my Dad was crying looking at me and then looking at himself guiltily thinking he had failed. I left after mum gave me this indictment, “No, It cannot be, if you say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ you are saved!” after she said that, it was enough for to allow me to somber up and walk to my room.
Every day from there on out, was a crawl of searching scriptures, trying to crawl online to see if anyone was going through something similar, unless I was crazy, Hey! maybe I can create a community of fellow unpardonable sinners and we could comfort each other, these were all my thought processes. In fact this only scratches the surface of what I went through during this phase of my life,to add some more context, I tried committing suicide about 3 times.
:), thank you Jesus for saving me
Are you a pastor or leader who doesn’t believe what I say is true?
Thank you for sharing part of your story, and for providing encouragement for others who have experienced something similar!
This is very long! Please feel free to disregard this and I appologize. I personally feel alone in the fact that I want a relationship with Christ but feel no love for him. I think I may be agnostic but want there to be a God. I am 31 years old and I fly into these what I want to call satanic rages at him whenever I don’t get my way. That includes disappointment, making mistake, etc. I have pretty much been doing this my whole life. Just about everytime I make a mistake I will rage at Christ or God and tell them that because I had asked them a long time ago to keep me from screwing up on things, that I was being responsible in the beginning and that I don’t have the time or patience to be correcting mistakes. I had high hopes for myself and was homeschooled off and on as a child and upon recieving my Ged, enrolled in Community College and had high hopes of going to oxford, Yale, etc. Things didnt go my way as I had planned and I made some bad grades and had to take some courses over when I look back it was depression I think. I finally got my AA Liberal Arts degree @ 30. Partilally because I coudn’t do C’s. I had to make B’s or better. I don’t have a job and only worked one job in my whole life for a month @ age 18. I live with my mom because she is by herself as my dad passed away when I was 12 due to liver disease from drinking. They were concerned about my rebellious and disrespectful behaviour as well and my mom sometimes says I’m still like that. I have always prided myself on being high intelect and the thought of someone being over me like in a job bothers me and if it’s someone that talks down to me then I fly into unhealthy rages. I have had people tell me I see things certain ways because I’m young regarding my Libertarian political views. In short I have gotten no where in my life because I don’t want to be bound to authority and don’t want to pay taxes. everytime I get hard lessons I always tell Christ “how dare you allow this or bring this upon me” and rage on for a certain amount of time. I will also tell him to mind his own business and to come down here and face the same things I go through. I never learn and any kind of tough love back fires because of my rage. As a child I would curse my dad for paddling me or belting me and I could never conform. Here is the thing though, I have never harmed or threatened anyone have no desire to. I don’t have a criminal history either. Though I was a disturbed child, I never did anything that I really regret since I was 13 and was a minor. I still am in sorrow as an adult for what I did @13 and earlier that was disturbing though. Everytime a challenge comes my way, I will rage and say things like “If I wanted this to happen, I would have done this”. Whenever I had a tough college professor and couldnt pass the course I would rage @ Christ and complain to my mom and say things like I am better than this, I am better than the professor, etc, how dare they cross me. Whenever I didnt get my way and felt like I was being handed tough love, my response was if I wanted your crap, I would have been your daddy, I didnt put you here, keep it to your self”. Here is the thing, I had an irreversable vasectomy @ age 22 because I dreaded ever being a father and have never been sexually active either. I guess that is my whole problem. If I wanted to go through tough times, dissapointment, etc, I would have put those people here that were the cause of it. For example if someone were to tell me I cant do drugs, my response will be “speak for yourself” we are not conjoined in nature. If someone tells me I see things a certain way because I am young and one day I will see why we pay a certain tax, my response will be “oh so let me guess, you or someone of concern must be benefiting off it from my personal time and labor. I will say things like give me a dna test showing that I am the father of the majority who say I have duties to society etc and then I will take responsibility. I am sorry for being so long but I have real concerns over my faith and yet will have unconntrollable urges to attack Christ or God @ every inconvenience, challenge, dissapointment, etc. If I get told not paying taxes is theft, I will come back with you and those whom you are speaking for are thieves and even if you have good intentions, it’s still parasitical. I have hard beliefs of I didn’t create you, nor did I create your problems. The majority says I have to do something but nature is not forcing me it’s people grouping up to control me by threat of force to meet concerns of their own and not mine. In my mind, I am no majority, minority, just an individual who wants to enjoy his life and be free from that which I didn’t cause. I don’t wish people to suffer but I guess you could just say I don’t care enough to be ruled and make forced sacrifices for people I have done nothing to. I want to be saved and am scared for my eternal destiny but am so enraged and tell God that I am going to go have fun and do as I please but not doing harm to anyone. I tell him to clean up his own mess by coming down here and struggleng, taking orders, facing humility etc. Remember I am not a threat to anyone. It’s inner rage and I know its harming my health. I basically let Christ and God have it thinking I will ask for forgiveness later. But I dont want to keep doing this. I want to love him but I know I don’t and just want to keep from going to hell which is using him. Right this second I am fine but in 5 minutes could be cursing God out and mocking him etc. My blood pressure is usually soaring as well How do I help this? Is it too late for someone like me? The only time I am in a good mood is when I take narcotics and I know my rage and drug use is bad for me. I dont fool with really bad things like heroine or opiates. though and have drawn a line. I do I feel like I did something before I was born and this is my punishment. Has anyone been in this situation @ all? I feel like I was predestined for this. Would he still forgive me? I have asked him to help me stop this btw.
Can I ask you a question John, Do you know what repentance, repentance means? Simple, “change of mind.” John, I want you to change your mind, change your mind, God doesn’t assess you based on your sins anymore, “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Not one place in the new testament does it teach that Christians should confess to be forgiven, 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess knowing we have already been forgiven.” I believe your problem is not that you are too far gone (impossible for a born again son of God), but that you need to repent and believe right. As far as God is concerned the moments you blaspheme and say all kinds of evil things towards him, it ceases to exist in his eye’s of holiness according to what Christ has done. So put away this depressing notion that God is assessing you based on your performance, he is a father and you are his son. You don’t need to ask for forgiveness when you are Highly favored in Christ the beloved. Your standing is in Christ, God has judge you 2,000 years ago in Christ.
There is only one thing a believe should fear, “Fear that you have not entered into his rest.” Fear that you are not restful, can you ask yourself the question, am I at rest? because if you’re not, then you’re negating the finished work of Christ, and in the eye’s of God that’s pride. 🙂 I hope this helps. Peace and grace be multiplied to you brother
You have some bad ideas about God, regarding who He is, how He acts, and how He has organized the world. It is because of these bad ideas that you feel such rage. When life doesn’t go the way you think it should (because of the bad ideas about God), this leads to anger, frustration, and depression.
The solution is to rediscover God the way He really is … the way He is revealed in Jesus. I try to help people with this here on the site and in my discipleship group, but God will start to reveal this to you Himself as you ask Him to. But be patient … the road of rediscovery is long.
Thank you! Saddely I think I have sinned knowing I will be forgiven. I never admitted this to myself though. I need to work on that. I feel a bit better with this info as with having ADD have never been able to sit and read the Bible for very long or much of anything else for that matter! Thanks so much again!, John
John. Here is something for you to think about. You mentioned somewhere about being agnostic. This is a very natural state for a human being. We are born that way. Now consider this. Me personally, I am a born again, saved, filled with the spirit human being. And yet I do not believe in God. The real truth is – – -” He believes in me!” So much so that he gave his life for me on a cross for the sins I committed. And everyone else’s. Yours included. And he believes in you as he believes in me brother. Maybe stop trying to believe and let yourself be believed in instead. How does that grab ya?!! Cool or what! Aidan.
Hi can ask you something, i just wondering if i committing unforgivable sin and unpardonable sin, because, i have anxiety order that i suffered alot and i can’t even think concentrate and i feel nervous, depression, anxious, even i don’t feel heart beating and sometimes it hurt alot, that my mind is lost, i feel like i’m going insane and giving up, i panic alot, that no one understand my feelings, and i want to say something that i did’t mean to make fun of jesus buti’m becoming a christian now, but not saved can anyone help me thank you.
Jet Patrick Toal, hey man, first of all, welcome to the group, I am sure we all have felt like that from time to time. One way you can tell you’re a christian is that you are in a battle, and from what I have read, you are under going a heavy attack from the enemy, to the point where he has convinced you enough to believe that you have committed the unpardonable sin. (I too once believed I had committed the unpardonable sin, causing hypnophobia, I negated sleep for 3 days) There currently is no sin that can undo what Christ has done, just like there is nothing a sinner can do to undo what Adam and Eve did. When God says he knows who you are, he can not say “away from me I never knew you,” that would mean he never actually knew you. How do you know God still loves you, I mean seriously after everything you are going through in your life… you see the scriptures tell us that we know that God loves us, not because of what is happening to us, but because of what he did for us for all time. You are forgiven, you are loved, and cheer-up don’t wait for your circumstances to change, they won’t change until you start believing differently. God isn’t judging you, he isn’t assessing you, he’s not against you sometimes, and for you sometimes. -“This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.”- John 4:17. A better translation would be, “as Jesus is so are we” Next time you hear that voice, maybe it’s yourself condemning you, repeat this to yourself, “As Jesus is in heaven so am I before the father.” Again, if justification isn’t by faith and it’s by our works, then you will need to do something about Jesus’ own words, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:28 – Never Perish! Never!! EVER you are Saved! 🙂 You will never be condemned again.
Here is something for you to think about. You mentioned somewhere about being agnostic. This is a very natural state for a human being. We are born that way. Now consider this. Me personally, I am a born again, saved, filled with the spirit human being. And yet I do not believe in God.

I have tried to analogize this concept of forgivable/unforgivable sin. Let’s say you are in a room facing a light switch. The switch is in the off position and the room is in darkness. Let’s consider that the state of living in sin and unfirgiveness. Now say you get a bit scared or would like to know where you are. Reach out and flick the switch on. Now consider that the state of living in forgiveness. Notice you now have less fear and lo and behold light! You know where you are! Now consider standing there and refusing to reach out and flicking the switch. Totally your choice. Light or darkness. Knowing your surroundings or not knowing your surroundings. The actual decision not to flick the switch is that which is comparable to the unforgivable sin. It’s equivalent to unbelief. And the result is no light. Forgiveness. This is maybe to simplistic an analogy. I apologise if it is. I suppose every human has to enter the dark room and face the switch. And I believe every human will. And that is the real scarey part!!!! My advice. Reach out. Flick the switch!!
are you saying this living in total forgiveness? I hope so otherwise that’d be hypocritical. Rather stop accessing ones efforts and ‘switch’ your focus off of self and onto another, another’s sacrifice, another’s blood, another’s shame. It’s easier to be something you already are. I am Righteous. I am Justified, yes I do wrong, but my price is paid, I am a son and it the very midst of sin I am justified.
Hi Charles. Thankyou for the reply. I am not to sure what way you perceived my post. But yes. I am very much forgiven. And grateful for it. So much so that I find it frustrating that God’s forgiveness is there for everyone. And yet it is not accepted. Which in my eyes, and God’s eyes, is the unforgivable dillema. Without belief in jesus, forgiveness can not take place. And believe me. There was nothing I did to deserve it. Quite to the contrary. I am in the camp of “forgiven much”. There was no action on my part whatsoever. Purely and utterly God, s grace. I do not believe in God anymore. He believe, s in me. And mostly, if not always I do not know why. There is no equation, or alter call, or type of worship or ammount of effort which makes this forgiveness earned. It, s 110 percent grace. And the only way, truth and light of this grace is jesus. Amen.
Hey I really need help I’m now 15 years old recently read about the unpardonable sin which is blasphemy against the holy spirit I remember when I was really young I was less then 9 years old I didn’t know that much about Christianity I thought that God was the devil and he crucified Jesus I’m terrified that this was blasphemy against the holy spirit
No, I could explain to you all the verses that state why/how you’re saved, but that won’t help you need to believe Him despite your failures/failings, “For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.” Isaiah 54:9
Can you be punished without a rebuke? can God throw you in hell and not be angry with you? as the verse states.
No you will Never be condemned.
Is this answer for me?
Maya, I’m so sorry for all the pain you’ve been through. Anyone who confesses that jesus is God has eternal life? but you might say that’s great but what do I do? Jesus said If you wanna work the works of God, the work is this, “believe on the one whom he sent” you can’t be a good Christian and yeah you’ve failed a lot Maya but rise up sister Ive been there, I went through the same struggle, but God brought me through, I didn’t sleep for I was so angry at God but he brought me through, his mercy never fails. 🙂
I had a bunch of swirling thoughts yesterday. I suffer with two mental illnesses. I said out loud oh it’s not like I’m going to ask the Lord to leave me. Something like that. I asked for forgiveness. I’m scared that I may have asked the Lord to leave me.
Hello, the emails are not sending for “Are you afraid of the Unforgivable Sin? Don’t be. You have NOT committed it!”
I would like to receive them. Thank you
Hi there, I tried to signup to get the emails on the topic of the unforgivable sin but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Dear Pastor Jeremy,
Thank you for writing this content. It really has helped me tremendously. I have met a friend on Facebook who keeps talking convinced that he has crossed the line and also thinks he was never saved. But he also said he prayed to give his life to Jesus. Then he said he was tempted toward a girl that he liked and he said out loud that he would be willing to give up salvation to have her. He said that after that he felt suddenly like all the conviction went away – like as if God left him – and an increased overpowering sense of lust etc. Like no convicting power. But yet he’s been on Facebook trying to talk repeatedly to me and to others – he said he’s been trying for months – to find peace for himself and going in circles because he wants the conviction feeling again. No matter what anyone shares with him, he is convinced he went over the line. But he’s still worried. In your book you explained that. But I hesitate to send him your book without cautioning him to not misunderstand what you said about “no conviction or worry about sin” because he’s one to read into stuff that that must include him. Every bad thing must mean him. He also thinks he really never did give his heart to the Lord. But he wants the Lord. I think he was just wrestling with surrender like many of us do. Would you be willing to talk to him if he reached out to you?
Sincerely – Nick Pino
Hi Jeremy, I heard that you are a pastor and I really need one who could help me through what I just experienced today. Recently, I have been scared of committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I searched up my fear on the Internet and I was told that as long as I have faith and belief in Christ, it means I have accepted the Spirit’s testimony and which means I have not denied the Holy Spirit which means I did not commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I was also told that the fact I am scared and anxious means I have not committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, because those who have did not care whether they have done it or not. However, today I suspected I might have committed the unforgivable sin. I was in class doing an assignment when the ceiling fan in my classroom had been juttering and making weird sounds. It sounded like a spirit banging against the vents. Now, before I go on with the story, I would like to tell you that I have been having blasphemous thoughts that are intrusive and unwanted. These thoughts keep going into my mind and I knew they are the works of Satan and the Devil. I try to ignore them but they keep coming back. I have been having many worries as to whether I have offended God, whether I can be forgiven for these disgusting and blasphemous thoughts. Now back to the story when I heard the weird noises of the ceiling fan. At that time, a blasphemous thought intruded into my mind. The thought that I had was that the Holy Spirit was banging against the vents, and next moment, before I could control this blasphemous thought, another thought came in and this time it was of an evil spirit. I realized I had just associated the Holy Spirit with an evil one, and a sharp anxiety and panic filled my heart. The panic was unbearable. Next moment the worry and panic suddenly disappeared, and for the first time in weeks I stopped feeling worry. What happened? Did I just committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which explained why I did not feel concerned after that thought? I no longer felt any worry and I thought I must have done the unforgivable sin. I just associated the Holy Spirit with that of an evil one and my concern and anxiety of the sin disappeared, which means I must have done it. After school ended, I kept thinking “I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit” and I try to block out that thought but I didn’t know what to do. I am a freethinker who prays to God and I have also accepted Jesus as my lord and savior during one of my prayers of salvation. Please share your thoughts on whether I have done the unforgivable sin because knowing that I may have done something unforgivable, I have no will to focus on my life. I would really appreciate if you can reply.
Hey, my name is Charlie, I too used to believe I had committed the unpardonable sin, and it wasn’t a “thought” for me, it was words and actions. I was filled with the spirit at 18 years old, at 19 I started getting readdicted to porn I felt so ashamed, but I had to still go to bed knowing God is with me. This went on for sometime until, I became so upset I swore at God so much the next morning, I renounced my faith, and said “I renounce the Holy spirit”. This included burning a Bible. But the thing is, the spirit never leaves you, so I literally spent the next months in total anxiety thinking I was going to die or wake up in hell, I couldn’t even hold a conversation. I was so anxious about the unforgivable sin, I couldn’t sleep, imagine it! You are fully convinced you committed the Unforgivable Sin. So I took to researching, I needed to find hope, I vigorously spent the next 6 months studying the bible (also why I’m on this page, BTW I went through Many websites, God bless Jeremy for providing help). Before I talk about my research efforts, I’d like to mention I had such a critical fear of death, that I didn’t sleep, that’s all,,, I just… stayed awake. At one point I didn’t sleep for 3 days… No, seriously, its no laughing matter. Fear of death by sleep has a clinical diagnosis. I would also spend my nights pacing up and down the hall ways, praying begging God to forgive me for this sin, I felt hopeless, how can God forgive an unforgivable sin…
Many things happened, bad things, good things, and acts of penance, nothing worked…
I needed hope so, I researched, after reading Matthew 12 over and over again, everytime I read it my fears grew. I felt the fire of God’s righteous indignation burning in my soul, “how could I have done this?” I said to myself.
Then when all seemed lost, a man called Joseph Prince made a YouTube video [“can you lose your salvation? (truth about Hebrews 6) – 15 April 2012”]
“he who believes in him is not condemned”
“away from me I never knew you” (Jesus can’t say this to me, he’s known me)
All these amazing verses including Isaiah 54:9 “As I swore that the waters of noah would never flood the earth again so have I sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again.”
These verses kept coming…
And I gave in, what He has spoken cannot be undone, I am forgiven, it is no longer I who lives, but Jesus lives in me.
I hope this encourages you, and don’t you dare let any thought define who you are except for Christ and Himself alone.

I know exactly what it feels like, so getting some rest is very handy I must say. Trust me, if you need someone to cry on, my virtual shoulder is right here. Email me, or post a comment don’t be ashamed, I am all ears.
Dear Jeremy,
I have read this website and am still worried I committed the unforgivable sin. Years ago I was very angry about something (I don’t remember what) and I told my best friend “Jesus died for power and glory.” I was implying that Jesus didn’t love us and died for selfish purposes. As soon as I said those words I saw a magical sign on my hand that condemned me. I thought that it was writing from God and I eventually started to believe that I committed the unforgivable sin.
The reason why I keep believing I committed the unforgivable sin is that I saw a magical sign on my hand and also I said things (not just thinking them). Many people worry about committing the unforgivable sin just by thinking thoughts. Well I said words so I feel all the more guilty.
Is there still hope?
Thanks,
David
Jeremy seems busy to answer, but we both tend to agree
here are some verses for you to read
“he (anyone) who believes in me is not condemned, but he who does not believe in me is condemned already.”
“And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise the up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
So David your answer is no, you no longer currently stand in a repetition of repentance according to the old testiment, you stand in the grace of our Father. Your sin is ignored completely, according to God’s principles.
grace and peace be yours.

Any Questions about Hebrews 6 or Matt 12, are encouraged.
I am annoyed that the enemy has a grip on your life like this, please remember Jesus words, He will never leave you nor forsake you! Please remember the way Jesus loved Peter, after Peter had denied him while cursing and swearing, Jesus looked up at Peter as if to say, (I knew you would do this, but I loved you and always will)…
i always wanted to keep my heart pure, but i was raped & had an abortion and felt so horrible over it..i cried and begged for god to punish me in the most damning way..i asked to be sent to hell because that is what i felt i deserved.and i really meant it..for many years i kept the burden, now i have realized what true evil is. i know i wouldnt dare want my soul to be in hell. im scared and would never want to be unforgiven.. i have forgiven myself (and asked god to forgive me) for the 1st sin i did. im worried i will not be forgiven for asking god not to have mercy for my soul. what is the truth?
I was looking at a forum on the unforgivable sin and reading one young man’s post of how he had horrible blasphemous thoughts against the Spirit-I did not read it out loud but the devil was trying to get me to agree with the thoughts. Is this forgivable?
Hi I am a 13 year old Christian and I have committed the unforgivable sin I lost all my hope but i sin over and over again and I had two dreams and one was when I was going to preach but I was focus on different stuff that I should not have been focus on and by the time I got ready to preach it was to late i woke up with tears on my eyes and the second dream was I had a dream where me and my family were entering something but all my family entered except me because I was to heavy. and I kept sinning for mounts after that dream and Then I chose to sin instead of repenting have I made the unforgivable sin like when I think who I will become in future and all my dreams I tell my self how will I live with this so please let me know as soon as possible have I made The unforgivable sin?
Is Christian comedy counted as blasphemy against The Holy Spirit? Asking for a friend.
Hello I commented before but would really appreciate some answers regarding this sin. Sometimes I have thoughts where I am speaking to the devil and speaking a blasphemous statement or a reference to the Holy Spirit that I don’t agree with. At 14 years old I did say something out loud when I tried to pray and renounce the devil’s lies. I am terrified because I don’t agree with the thoughts and I am constantly trying to fight them off. I keep repeating that I love the Holy Spirit and am begging Him not to leave me. However these thoughts do not bring me joy and am constantly in torment because of them since they are contrary to what I believe to be true about God. I have been baptized and am scared that in the heat of the moment while praying these thoughts may come out of my mouth. Reading other people’s thoughts or comments online has increased my fear and I am trying not to look at videos regarding this issue on YouTube. While praying with my mom I did start speaking in tongues and I still have a desire to repent. I just need help on how to rebuke the thoughts and keep them out of my mind. I have tried memorizing Scripture but sometimes I am trying to overcome thinking several impure thoughts at once. It’s become very difficult and because of the fear that the Holy Spirit has left me I keep praying and crying to God daily trying to listen to sermons or worship music. I do care about whether or not I have committed this sin but I am terrified that the thoughts are so blasphemous that God won’t forgive me for having them in my mind in the first place. I know that thoughts don’t always reflect the truth of what I believe to be true about God and that fear and deceit come from the enemy. I desperately want my mind to be renewed and would appreciate some advice.
Then why does it say in the BIBLE, that there is an unpardonable sin? I am so afraid that I have said or thought something about the Holy Spirit that will condemn me. I am so scared. I want to go to Heaven. Please tell me what to do? The mean devil wants to hurt me.
One thing I like to do when this in particular doubt has come to me in the past is remember this verse.
“That 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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
I recommend deeply meditating on the truth of this verse, really don’t just read it once. The verse is indicating two things, that if you confess Jesus is Lord you are saved, and that people who commit the unpardonable sin (unless the bible contradicts itself) do not believe Jesus is Lord.
How do I no that god has forgiven me for the bad sins I have committed.And the people I have hurt.its been a few years since I did these sins but I still give myself a hard time over what happened.wil god forgive me.
We know by faith, and faith comes from hearing, hearing the word of God. Read this and listen to it and I assure you faith will come.
“That 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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
It looks like you do believe in God, and you are just struggling. The bible says, my people suffer for lack of knowledge, I pray you stop focusing on your sin, and give up that responsibility to Christ who suffered for it.
Daily, I live with constant, automatic, sudden, reoccurring fear about blaspheming/speaking evil about the Holy Spirit. Even thoughts about wanting others to commit it.
I’ve something similar to Tourette’s (hyperphonia) and no amount of therapy has helped because I have extreme speech impulsitivity.
Controlling my speech only via suckling on spoons/lollipops/ice cream.
I feel God doesn’t care about me.
I just want to make sure. But if unwanted thoughts like cursing and insulting god, jesus, and the holy spirit come in my head is it a sin? And will i go to hell? These thoughts always come to my head and im trying to get them out.
I feel the Same way because I’m worried as well because I was speaking with my relatives and brought to their attention I did not believe that Jesus said to turn the other cheek when someone hits you and I was just wondering if that’s a form of Rebellion refusal Denial and Blasphemy of the Word Of Jesus Christ
I want to know what the unforgivable sin is, and I pray God help me forgive myself as well .
i’ve been reading up on the unpardonable sin, and i deeply fear that i have. my condition is more serious. i struggle with sexual sins and i fear that the devil has persuaded me to reject the hope. i can feel the holy ghost trying to give me hope and peace and i turn it away asking why it would give me any peace or joy so soon after i’ve committed a serious sin. i know of the atonement and i’ve pushed it away. i don’t know who you are, but i’m trying to reach out to see if anyone has done the same things, and has any hope.
I have a concern about this due to the fact that I’ve been having Blasphemous thoughts and even some saying I worship the enemy or telling me to which I absolutely DO NOT and I have OCD which causes these thoughts to run rampant and has me almost believing that I’m doing it or that I believe in it but I want nothing to fo with these thoughts. I have been trying to rebuild a personal relationship with Jesus and God coming off several yrs of drifting which has shaken my faith. I truly believe that I have not committed any such thing and that I’m always forgiven and not forsaken just because of a few bad thoughts that I try to fight back but because of my status and OCD it’s a real struggle and makes me question it often. I believe Gods presence is always with me even when I do not feel it even though this makes me feel forsaken most of the time.
Some years back,I had a thought in my head, saying, “What if Jesus is associated with the “bad guy”?” Now that it came to my remembrance, O am full of dread and fear because I know that this is parallels to what the Pharisees did back then. And what’s worst was I don’t remember asking for forgiveness right away. In fact, the thought lingered in my mind before I dismissed it. I am afraid that God won’t forgive me anymore and that He won’t accept me when I come
to Him and ask for His forgiveness.
I was just listening to a video about the Unpardonable Sin and as I was sitting there I was in tears because I felt like maybe I have committed the Sin so as I listened the video got scary so I immediately asked Jesus Christ to forgive me if I have ever committed that sin I said something maybe a day or two ago I said to my family that I don’t believe God said not to fight back and my family agreed with and so that’s why I was worried that maybe I have committed that sin as well
Hi Velvet. No that’s not the unpardonable sin. The unpardonable sin is against the Spirit, for one. Second, you wouldn’t care if you had committed it or not. Your heart would be hardened to the point where you would go on day after day without a care of sin, Christ, or judgement.
Hope this helps.
I want God to reveal to me the things I’ve said so that I can clear my name and free myself of this Guilt or grievance in my Heart I’m not even sure if I’ve done this but I hope not because this is something that cannot In no way shape or form be forgiven and I’m intimidated because I’m in a state of Uncertainty I know that the Lord can forgive but I don’t want to upset him in this area
Hello. I loved your book and it gave me peace for a while, but something started bothering me recently: if blasphemy against the Spirit is truly not attributing the Spirit’s works to the devil, than how do you explain Mark 3:30?
Thanks in advance.
“for they were saying, ‘He has an unclean spirit.'”
The verb tense here and in v22, as well as instances of this accusation elsewhere in the gospels, indicate that this was a repeated accusation and a settled attitude that the scribes had. Earlier in chapter 3 we see that they already have their hard hearts set against him. They held on to this accusation and kept making it. That was the situation, so we can probably take Mark’s comment here as describing that, rather than him meaning something like “If you ever say these words even once then you’re doomed.”
Reading your posts have relieved me of almost ALL my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I would constantly question every little thing I(or my family) do just to make sure I don’t sin. I was obsessed with becoming perfect which left me feeling paralyzed and upset at night. Then I thought to myself, if God really loves me, why would he make me go through this for so long? I was mad at him but I didn’t want to be. Then I thought I had committed blasphemy just because I had doubts about my faith and if I was really saved. All the things I read, all the words people would say, I was terrified. I don’t want to be damned for eternity, even if I was I would still give it my all to love God and find the truth. Everything you’ve said makes so much sense. My parents are also Christians, except we don’t go to church(which I used to think was a sin), but only because a lot of them are pretty Catholic and they don’t teach what they need to. We used to go when I was younger, but my parents decided to stop relying on people and start relying on God and the Bible, which is the only perfect source in the world today. We have Christian homeschooling and although we’re all still learning, we definitely have a better understanding about it all. I’m very young and still have much to learn in my future, but I know my parents are proud that I’ve gotten this far in a short amount of time. Thank you for being a healthier guide on my mind. May God bless you and have a wonderful life❤️.
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:28-29).
Why does satan work on your mind that you have committed the unpardonable sin? I know it my heart I have not but my mind is telling me something else. I need peace about this.
I’ve been a Christian who’s been having doubts and weeding out some fears. the term blasphemy recently came up as a fear that been really bothering me. Currently it makes feel uncomfortable about the holy spirit. Been struggling with spiritaul anxiety and blasmenous thoughts. I’m afraid of committing it cuz I always thought it was one time thing of profanity. Guess this misunderstanding of what it is.
I beg whoever is reading this to reply back!
In Catholic belief are you forgiven if you blasphemy MANY times in your life but if you are very sorry about it are you forgiven? I know blasphemy is eternal but is it forgiven if you really mean that you are sorry?
Please don’t reply with Protestant beliefs because I want to know the Catholic version of my question
And I am sorry for my English and grammar.
Hi for about a few weeks now I’ve been getting immense blasphemous thoughts about GOD and the Bible and the Holy Spirit. Before this I was struggling with pornography but GOD delivered me from it. At the beginning of this year I decided to give GOD my all since I was living like a lukewarm Christian. I was baptized at 14 years and struggle with lust and pornography but repented everytime and moved on. I am now 17 years. When I learnt about the unforgiveable sin it was January and I was scared but after watching a video I felt relief and joy. When I got over this an incident occurred and I had a panic attack and fell unconscious. After that I was tempted for 3 days since to watch porn and failed I got depressed and was constantly repenting. I went through immense anxiety and worry for about 2 months after about cancer and failed GOD to lust and porn 4 more times. After this I went to a therapist and told her my problem and she told me porn is not a sin. I knew in my heart that she was wrong but still did it. When I was going to do it I had conviction towards this but I said repeatedly to myself that it was not a sin. The next morning I was angry at myself and didn’t felt conviction but later on the next week I got depressed because of what I did and cried out to repentance. The next month I been getting blasphemous thoughts and till this day I still have it. When I started getting this I was scared and remembered that if I am scared then I haven’t committed this but I didn’t feel reassurance later on I still get them and become they very disrespectful. I now get them and not feel conviction or fear over it. Did I commit the unforgiveable sin ?

I was saved at 21. I fell away from God and went into the world. I lived like there was no God . This was for 30 years. I am 63 years old and have repented to God many times only to experience fear. I am scared that I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit.
Hi Jeremy I’m worried I’ve committed the unforgivable sin i said something blasphemous in my head and I think I said a cuss word towards the Holy Spirit in my head and I struggle bad with intrusive thoughts is there any hope for me
I have thought about the unforgiven sin in my head , does that mean I am goingbto hell? I hate myself!
What is the unforgivable sin and how do I know I committed it and rejected Jesus?
Ever since I went to a General Confession (a year and a half ago) I have totally changed and think about God constantly and go to daily Mass. I soon the had daily thoughts about my Pastor. They are not sinful but I can’t understand why. Once I said out loud “Jesus, Mary a Joseph” and they disappeared But only for a day. I fear it is Satan but they hated continued. I am at wit’s end try to stop them. PLEASE help with your advice. THANK YOU
In Christ our Lord
