I Never want to Blaspheme The Holy Spirit. Psalm 19:13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin.
Levy LB only those who credit righteousness to anything/anybody other Than God is already a blasphemer. It’s not the words it’s the heart. Blame God for all evil because he is using it to GROW HIS CHILDREN . Just like Jesus. Trust Him!!! Greg Laurie is without understanding, a modern day Pharisee who is guilting people with false ministry rhetoric to fill his pockets!!! He is rich and Jesus AND the disciples were poor except Judas!!! Greg has a greater Judgement!!! Good Seeds are being sanctified or grown to Gods purpose and precepts. Not a man. You must read your Bible with your heart for life. In the beginning God created... Evil was part of creation. God HAS A RIGHTEOUS PLAN. 🙏🔑✌️
@@rachelg.cuesta1436 (Romans 3:4) “Let God be true and every man a liar…” To rightly divide The Word it is unwise to neglect it. Not Knowing The Word friend is not Knowing Jesus. Beware of wolves in Sheep’s clothing. Read your Bible as it were your source of fresh air in a room filled with toxic smoke. Prayer is key to peace…🙏🔑✌️
So what Greg Laurie says in 43 minutes all boils down to, "Dying in UNBELIEF." That is The Unpardonable Sin! Why? These people have REJECTED God's Free 🎁Gift of Salvation by GRACE alone, through FAITH/BELIEF alone, on the Finished WORKS that Christ alone did FOR US AT THE CROSS! "For by GRACE(No WORKS) are ye SAVED through FAITH/BELIEF; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the (free) Gift🎁 of God:" "NOT of Works (we CANNOT WORK for it; we CANNOT PROVE it by a CHANGE in our outward behavior; we CANNOT MERIT it; we CANNOT EARN it; and WE CERTAINLY DON'T DESERVE IT), lest ANY man should boast."

@@philipbuckley759 Dear Phillip, Didn't the Lord Jesus Christ die for ALL of your Sins? If by FAITH you BELIEVE that He did this FOR you, then WHY would you NEED TO FORSAKE YOUR SINS when you BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ Died and shed His Blood and PAID for ALL of your Sins, IN FULL? ps. That tells the Lord Jesus Christ that what He did for you on the Cross wasn't good enough and that you are still going to ask for forgiveness and forsake. your sin(s); and by the way, Lord Jesus, NICE TRY."
True. Perhaps I didn't really lose all belief, for a moment perhaps my mind didn't believe but my heart still knew the truth and that's why I immediately changed my mind. Or perhaps I did lose all belief for a moment but quickly came to my senses. Either way I should just be thankful God and The Holy Spirit are leading me in the right path and that I didn't harden my heart to a point of no return. Thank you for your encouraging words! :)
Your salvation is totally dependant on what Christ did for you and NOT on any works you may or may not be able to do. " ..not of works lest a man boast, but the gift of God"
Keep Preaching Fire and Brimstone Pastor Greg Laurie! I also never want to Blaspheme meaning dishonor the Holy Spirit because it's unforgivable . I am so glad that have Jesus Christ in alive in my life ! God Bless you!
one thing i think of is: even if it were possible for a person to sell their soul to the devil, it honestly begs the question: Why on earth would anyone ever want to do that anyway?
For sinful desires like huge amounts of money, fame, power, the list goes on. It's all meaningless though say you sold your soul too Satan then an hour later you get into a car accident, then you got nothing but darkness for all time.
No .... Not end of story! ACTUALLY THE REASON THEY ARE HERE IS EITHER THRY ARE UNDECIDED OR JUST LEARNING..... A STATEMENT LIKE THAT COULD HURT OR EMBARASS THEM TO THE POINT THEY DONT COME BACK....... IN THAT CASE YOUR PROPHACY WOULD COME TRUE. PEACE N BLESSINGS
Unpardonable Sin - to constantly deny keeping in the Spirit of Love, to disbelieve that Christ came in the flesh (well documented by the Romans) and to lie with strange flesh (embodied and dis-embodied Spirits).

A Christian cannot cause another christian to lose his salvation or cause that Christian to go to hell. God has never been about religion, but rather about a personal relationship with Him through salvation alone in Jesus. It is not of works but rather of grace. Therefore, a so-called Christian (who had religion & not a relationship) may find himself saying. Lord, Lord & Christ telling him to depart from Him because He never knew him.
@JoBernard12oxen - to cause someone to lose their faith or belief in God doesn't mean they lose their salvation. The NT also states that if we could lose our salvation, then Christ would have to die daily & that this doctrine puts what Christ did for us to shame. We are told that our names are engraved in God's hand. He has better things to do then constantly scratch out & re-engrave our names everytime we committ a sin. If you believe you lose your salvation, then you make God a liar.
at the time 2005-06 when i did this i didnt know 'all' the scriptures concerning this sin. 'And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.'and also in Mark 3 and Luke 12 it says basically 'you blasphemy God, youll be forgiven; (cont..)
@@ephrataguracha6403 God brings about the repenting- a change is lifestyle. ( John 15) you repent in the sense of having a " willing mind". God helps you make that change... He does ask you to do it...because you cant..and thats works salvation. He guides you
God is love but He is also just and can not tolerate sin. None of us deserve any more than to die in our sin. You're around today because He decided to save Noah and his family. The fact that we are still around today was a monumental act of grace and love. God saw that you were worth it. God loves you too and wants to have a personal relationship with You. Read more of the bible. I will pray that one day you and I will be praising God together in heaven. Romans 8:28
Boring pastures is Catholic religion pretty much, it's an extremely boring event to go too church I hated going too church as a kid was born into a catholic home, it was all pegan nonsense, always felt like going too sleep, but when I would read the bible myself my heart would sore with gratitude.
For the Atheist, It's always been easier to just dismiss things out of hand simply because they don't want to deal with those things. But all the dismissing in the world will not help whenever the moment of truth comes. Just because you don't understand something doesn't negate the truth, or veracity of it. I'm a Christian and there are many. MANY things that I don't understand about God, I'll not pretend that I do. But I'm not going to throw everything away just because I don't understand.
God is real. he the one true God father, son and holy spirit. God created the whole world, and all the living things in it, He created the whole universe and created us in his own image. There is only one way to god and that is throught Jesus Christ saviour and friend forever. you will only be saved if you are a christian. the fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace,faithfulness Galatians chaapter 5 vs 22. my advice to people who are not christian is to repent before its too late, Richard
Doubt isn't unforgivable. If you see bible verses that seem to say you can't be forgiven or if people insinuate you've done something unforgivable, don't panic. There's a lot of complex biblical contexts that go on. Over time once you study you'll get it. It's normal to feel this way when you first start out in your walk and you'll get it quite often. If you're worried about whether or not you're saved, study 1 John. Also look at Luke 12:32 if you need reassurance.
If you would open your blind eyes for 5 minutes you would see God is everywhere and very real. When you stand before God will he accept you like you accepted him or will he deny you like you denied him? Life is short. Accept Jesus today because you never know when you will take your last breath.
@kamicka23 If there is any question between you and I about who is false or true it can be easily answered in this basic universal biblical pattern: false prophets have always maintained that God's people can continue in sin and be saved: that is exactly what your position is, The bible says if God's people willfully continue in sin they are rejected of God; that is a common biblical pattern Rev.3:5 & 22:19 Christians can be blotted out of the Lambs book of life "after" being written in it.
Saul Was transformed by the Holy Spirit and became the voice of the new testament. The same can happen to you. You are still alive, right? You are still able to ask forgiveness? There is still hope for you Jason. Let God heal you. I Corinthians 15:10
I got you some verses I have found encouraging. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to [a]bear it." Corinthians, @ I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. Jeremiah, @ It's also encouraging that John Bunyan, who wrote the second most read christian book also struggled with blasphemous thoughts and whether he had blasphemed the Holy Spirit when he first became a christian. Also, what the Pharisees who blasphemed the Holy Spirit and the several other people in the Bible who were pronounced unforgivable all had in common was that they had stubbornly hardened their hearts and disobeyed many times. “He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy.” Proverbs, 29:1 I hope this is helpful and I will pray for you all. May god grant you the grace to put on the helmet of salvation and to keep it on. Lastly, keep reading lot's of Bible and think about it a lot because a lot of the problems we have are results of starving for more of God's Word. "whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither"- Psalm, 1:2-3
I was raised a Christian and accepted Jesus into my heart a few years ago. However about 1 year ago I was going through a period of doubt and was watching videos of Christians and atheists debating I was thinking of one debate in my head and reached a point where I thought "this makes no sense! God cannot be real" and then said aloud "I just became an atheist" I immediately felt sick and said "No I'm a Christian." I have felt terrible about this ever since, did I blaspheme the holy spirit?
No, you just had a moment of doubt. What made you sick? If you had hardened your heart you wouldn't have felt sick. You would have felt rage against God.
Hi I feel like I did the unforgivable sin as this was I had blasphemous thoughts and now I it at the point I do movements, facial expressions or make a noise I get cuss word in my head, smiling, or laughing and now I feel like hold my thought for too long and I can't seem to care help me anyone understand I'm scared
God forgives us all its better to not curse. But once were saved i believe were always saved. Once saved always saved im a Christian. Forever its not in the bible about. Losing your salvation. People that teach that are false teachers. Do the research ask your pastor. Before telling other people i like greg Laurie s message praise Jesus
Jeffrey Cox there’s the parable of the lost sheep? I guess if God found that sheep and then it decided to deny Him that could be a good representation of the unforgivable sin.
Blasphemy-speaking against-(this speaking is not verbally per say, it is in actions) blasphemy is not merely rejecting the teachings of the Holy Spirit, [which we all have done]: blasphemy against the spirit always, “always” involves others, that is to say: Christians that deceive other Christians to deny the Lord unto their condemnation; the Christians that caused another Christian to be lost can not be forgiven for they are held responsible for the souls that are lost by their false teachings.
@JoBernard12oxen - Everyone can fall from grace ( even with family members or friends),but that is not the grace of salvation. As for Gal. 1:6- There are many false doctrines & churches in the world today, that don't teach the word of God. But rather instill their own convictions of what they think the word means. These people are not the children of God but rather of satan. Trying to divert them from the true word. I will not now or ever lose my salvation. I have His word for it.
Taking up your cross and following Jesus never saved one person. That is discipleship, not salvation. Acts 16:31 is salvation by grace. John 6:40. First John 5:13 based on John 1:12. Judas followed Jesus but never believed He was the Messiah. The thief on the cross just believed and was saved. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing. The GIFT of God is eternal life, Romans 6:23 But, you have to believe it to receive the GIFT. John 3:16-18 John 6:47 Most will never believe it. Few there be that find it. We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. But, Romans 4:6-8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth righteousness without works, Blessed is the man whose sins are covered, Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. All believers have His righteousness imputed to them by faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing. The second we believe we are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.
Notice the other reference to the virtual impossibility of offending one of Gods children: Matt.18 Jesus says except you become like this little child you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven: he uses a child to fix a spiritual picture, but then uses the spiritual child (Christians) in the description toward them which offend (cause a Christian to stand apart from Christ). The consequences of which are inseparable from the condemnation which is caused by the one invoking the departure.
Friend, human heart is very evil no matter its an Atheist heart or Christian heart. Because Christians or Non Christians live in this world. For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:16. Only difference is that Christians have Power of Holy Spirit to win the spiritual battle while Non believers loss every day. God is good, He shows His mercy to all man including most harden heart person.
Thank you for your response. I guess I'm just worried that even for a moment there I truly lost my belief in God. And that is unforgivable. And even if I repent now I will be denied, like Esau was. It mentions Esau in Hebrews saying he found no place of repentance though he sought it with tears. Does that mean his repentance was denied or that he did not truly repent?
It means that he wasn’t able to find repentance. God NEVER rejects genuine repentance. Repentance is basically doing a 180 degree turn from sin to God. He didn’t repent. Esau loved the world too much. Ask God for belief and faith. If you repent from the “Unforgivable Sin” then you weren’t even guilty of it in the first place. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable, not because it is “unforgivable.” Actually, it is because the person no longer has the desire to repent of that specific sin. The Holy Spirit guides you of sin and drives you to repentance. So in turn, blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because it is disabling you to repent. What the Pharisees did, is the most blasphemous statement you could make. God does not reject anyone who repents of this sin. But, the person is so hardened, so unwilling, that they do not repent. It’s a belief similar to: “Even if God came down, I’d STILL unbelieve.” God forgives every sin if we repent of it. 99% of the people that commit this sin absolutely loathe him. They don’t ask for forgiveness. The simple sign is, if you are worried you have committed this sin, then you most definitely haven’t, because you are evidencing the absolute opposite attitude needed to commit this sin in the first place. Blasphemers have been forgiven. Peter was, 3 times. You can’t come to God unless the Spirit draws you to him. So if you find yourself repenting, asking for forgiveness, you weren’t guilty of the sin in the first place. For the scripture is supposed to comfort the frightened, and to frighten the comforted. Also, if you have faith, there’s a big sign you haven’t. God doesn’t give faith to someone he doesn’t forgive. I would say that Hebrews 6 described the sin that they did the best. They tasted the power to come, which was the miracles, they fell away, they said NO. And notice what it says, it is impossible to renew them to REPENTANCE, not forgiveness. Repentance allows forgiveness, so if you are repenting of this sin, you never committed this sin anyway.
@Ayedavanita7 The word repentance or repent is not always connected to sin. For example. God repented that he created man on the earth. Repent just simply means " to turn, to change ones mind. To change ones opinion, attitude..thought" its that same as say in a persons youth they thought one way on something but age and maturity has changed them( repented) its a changed mindset. God brings about the repentance in the sense of change of life style. John 15 We repent mentally " a willing mind". God brings about the change of lifestyle physically speaking The verse in matthew where the unpardonable sin is mentioned. Points out that Just as Satan's kingdom isnt divided...neither is God's. A person wouldnt be seeking forgiveness if they committed the unpardonable sin....because they wouldnt care if theyve committed it or not...in a word " indifferent" inconcerned.
@JoBernard12oxen - That verse refers to someone who backslides. Nowhere in those verses does it say you lose your salvation. Read Heb. 6:4-6 -states that IF it were possible for someone who once got saved, to regain their salvation if they sinned, seeing that they crucify themselves to the Son of God again & put Him to shame. Meaning Christ would have to be crucified over & over again for your sins. (Once you lost your salvation, you couldn't get it back). Therefore, you CANNOT lose it.
Does anyone know or believe that if we say that the Catholic church is false or. Not following the commandments.. Is that a form of blasphemy.. I feel bad about it for judging so I will repent.
Only God could show a person that they need Jesus. If a person doesnt believe then it is up to the Holy Spirit to show that person that they need Jesus. If that person doesnt want Christ and salvation then it could be that their name simply isnt in the book of life and never could be saved
@kamicka23 May I suggest you view "The Biblical Plan of Salvation", this is a critical lesson which I believe will change anyone that believes faith is merely believing on Christ, those that hold an idea that salvation can not be lost need to see this video, both parts. I would also invite you to pause the video on the presentation part to get some of the details if needed.
I would probably live the same way if I were a Christian, it’s not that it would interfere with the way I live. It seems like Greg doesn’t understand the nature of truth, evidence, or love for that matter. All the things he mentioned doesn’t cause unbelief are precisely why I don’t believe. I see a book of contradictions supported by almost no evidence, talking about a God that is petty, unjust, and doesn’t offer real love and forgiveness. Belief is not a choice if you don’t deluded yourself and understand the nature of truth. Like someone said, thank God I’m an atheist. If I believed this were true it would be like living in a celestial North Korea.
@God is Good If I do see him, I will. Who in their right mind would determine someone is deserving of eternal torture based on something you have to take on faith with no evidence? If this is the most important truth, why would you be forced to take it on without evidence, sounds like some sort of sick game. You could be a good person with a good heart and still be tortured because you couldn't believe an unreasonable belief? Alternatively you could be wicked and be saved simply because you're irrational. That is a very unjust thing for a supposedly good God to do. If I gave you a multiple choice test with all the answers left blank and told you that you had one shot otherwise I will torture you, would I be a just test giver?
Sir, Is this possible for a Man to blaspheme Holy Spirit today. I mean if some one knows Holy Spirit very well then such person never blaspheme Him but if some one never know the Spirit of God then how it can be possible to blaspheme Him? In time of Jesus only Religious Jews were in such position to blaspheme Holy Spirit because they knew Jesus was casting out demons by the Power of Holy Spirit. Today only Christians are in such Position to blaspheme Holy Spirit because only Christians know Him.
A person who blasphemes is a person that doesnt care not only that they have but they dont know know him. Only the spirit can draw you and bring you to know christ. Only the spirit can reveal who Jesus is- Christ. An person who has committed the unpardonable sin doesnt care that they have committed it and doesnt care who Jesus is. In a word..theyre " indifferent". In the beginning of the book of Galatians the apostle Paul says he blasphemed but was forgiven because he did it ignorantly. Reading this and the account of as a Pharisees of pharisees and his persecution of the church before converting should shed some light.
i said 'what i said'. i think maybe the Holy Spirit was taken from me then.it also talks about '..in this age and the age to come'; so someone in the next age (after death/ return of Jesus/ New Jerusalem) is completely able to blasphemy the Holy Spirit. only born-again believers will make it to the next age right? the others will be in ****. also, i was having a hard time in life and Attempted Suicide and that night i lay in bed and the scripture 'its an eternal sin' sharply and vividly(cont.
@MarkTyner If you had lost him you wouldnt be here, you wouldnt be seeking the Lord's face. A person who has commited the unpardonable sin wouldnt care...they wouldnt be seeking truth, they wouldnt care if they have committed the unforgettable sin. Ihave been told this many times..the Lord knows your frame and that we are dust. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and Dont lean on your understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6. We feel many thinks in life and interpret ourselves by those feeling. The devil loves to torment and keep ppl in doubt. You being here and seeking out God and his forgiveness should be clear to you that you arent doomed. Only the Lord can draw ppl to himself through the Spirit..Just as the verse that was read my Greg in this video, the devils kindom isnt divided against its self....so why would God's kingdom be? God draws ppl to himself ...you seeking is the drawing. Like what ive been having to do. Forgive yourself. God is mire willing to forgive you, then you are to ask him. Forgiving self is the hardest part.
You shouldnt take anyone for their word so you should check it out for yourself, but i know its a pain because translating one language to another you cant expect everyone to know the original languages grammar but if you look at youngs literal translation its more clear in those verses.
you blasphemy Jesus, youll be forgiven but if you blasphemy the 'Spirit' you wont be!think about it, you hear people, maybe even yourself, blasphemy God and Jesus all the time, but 'not the Spirit'. also, i had a supernatural? experience during that time 05-06 where it felt like every cell in my body exploded all at the same time; like from the top of my head to the soles of my feet electricity (pure energy) went thru my body. this experience could have happened the day after the night (cont..)
So I think, in modern time its not possible to Blaspheme Holy Spirit by unbelievers. But a True Christian is in a position to blaspheme Holy Spirit. Just like a Teen age rebellious son can abuse his dad rather than a evil teen age boy living on the street or out side house. So I think, a True Christian should be alert all the time and should be prepare for any kind of evil thoughts which may raise in his heart against Spirit God. Because blaspheme raises in Spirit Realm, Christian live in Spirit
No you think a true Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, who does things by the Holy Spirit could blaspheme the Holy spirit? No, I would argue that no a true believer cannot.
Adam Nichols I agree there are evil forces acting in the world as well that especially can’t wait to attack us that are saved. God knows our hearts Jesus will forgive us if we ask humbly and believe..
@JoBernard12oxen - Chptr 3 is refering to the rapture of the church. Those that are in that church already have their robes of white because they accepted Him, but there were those in that church who had not accepted Him or his word. It is to them that He is referring that if they don't accept His word, that He will blot their name out of the book of life. Note that this is not the Lamb's Book of Life. Be careful of what you are accusing concerning chpt 22 - it means a reward, not the soul.
Folks, I committed this most torturous sin. I was saved, truly filled with The Holy Spirit and went into sin, with a final wilfull blaspheming God. If you truly have committed this, you will know it most assuredly. You will receive a spirit of torture, just like happened to Saul, and just like also happened to Judas, who released he was damned and committed suicide. I wish I had never been born.
Jesus was accused of actions that influenced others unto condemnation: this is blasphemy. Jesus further ask if I cast out by Beelzebub whom do your false healers (children) cast them out? And why does he say they shall judge the Pharisees? Because when the false healers are condemned of God for their false miracles, those same false healers will accuse the Pharisees of putting them up to it; now it will be “impossible” for the Pharisees to escape the blame and the same condemnation.
@kamicka23 you should note that Christ conversation about blasphemy only included those false teachers that seduced his spiritual children "Christians", that is, Christ care for Christians is so great that should anyone cause them to commit apostasy (which by the way is always Christians standing apart from Christ) and be condemned, it is impossible to escape condemnation for having cause condemnation; consider the figurative use of the term Jezebel in Rev. 2:20 causing saints to worship vainly
The unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by rejecting the truth of Jesus Christ is Lord, if you are not born again with faith in accepting Jesus Christ and you die that way you have committed the unforgivable sin. Accepting Jesus is turning from your sin to him. From that moment on, when you sin, you must repent and be cleansed. One cannot just obtain fire insurance from Jesus Christ and then sin on purpose so that grace will abound in your life. Bryan Fulwider, A famous Christian radio evangelist has just been busted for the sexual abuse of a child over five years. Do you really think that he is going to be going to heaven just because Jesus died for his sin and he accepted Him many years ago? Only if he truly repent and is absolutely disgusted with himself over what he has done, will Jesus forgive him and accept him. No professing Christian would ever sexually abuse a child!! Sexual sins are an abomination to God!!
@JoBernard12oxen - Well, I sure hope for your sake, that you're not caught in the middle of a sin when you die.Rom.6-read the whole chptr. & 1Jn1:8-10. If we say we have no sin, then the truth is not in us. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar & His word is not in us. Therefore, by your belief, if you sin, you lose your salvation. And if you committed a sin that you're not aware of or forgot to ask for forgiveness, what then? You go to hell for a forgotten sin?
Yeah if he did all that I doubt he would have any desire in his heart to know God. How would he get away with the crimes? They would have him lock down for the rest of his life? Chose God now or before it's to late. You will stand before him one day. If you reject him he will reject you. It's your choice.
I realize your comment was 6 years ago and that you most likely are not going to answer me back but anyway, how can I read it in Hebrew when I don't speak Hebrew and if I did I don't know where to get a Hebrew copy, so why don't you just post it here and Translate for us
So, either we accept your extortion or else. "Or else" seems pretty good, given that when someone murders 40 or 4,000 people, slaughters 20,000,000 innocent animals in a meat-food factory, sets 10 bombs in schools and churches but says: "I'm sorry, Jesus Christ--forgive me" and can get away with these crimes. That may make sense to the professional Christian.
if you hate, without a cause....it is murder, if you lust it is adultery......sin is deeper than we can understand, and so if forgiveness....just dont live in your sin...
@JoBernard12oxen - This is not a question of who is right, but rather that God is true & just in His word. We are told eternal life. Not if we live a perfect life will we make it to heaven. That is works & not grace & we are saved by grace & not of works. Even Paul had sin in his life. Do you think that he is in heaven or hell? We are told - whosoever believes will have eternal life. God does not go back on His word or His promises. Not the God I serve.
And why is it so called "Atheist' come on to a page like this which really has NOTHING to do with the subject of Atheism, or the existence of God at all and start talking about this subject which has NOTHING to do with the subject at hand?I see this kind of thing all over UA-cam. Can't we just stay with the subject at hand, which is the unforgivable sin? I wrote what I wrote initially because of that reason. Isn't it a matter of respect to do that, and stay on the course of the subject at hand?
It's somewhat disconcerting and a bit odd that you, someone totally unknown to me, happen to know what's gonn' to happen to me." As the late Tom Lantos used to say: "I don't buy eeeet."
you dont need to know anyone....you just need to know the Bible...and say, if this is true, and you are in this arena....or situation, then this is what the Bible says that will happen, to you....
And if you read my post in it's entirety you will see that I addressed this issue. Having said that, Can we please get back with the subject at hand, which is the unforgivable sin, and NOT atheism?
@kamicka23 Heb.3:12 Take heed, brethren (Christians), lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb.4:1 Let us(Christians) therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us(Christians) of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Heb.3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; we are accepted "IF" we continue in faith. Faith is proving our love for God to the end.
@Ayedavanita. I dont know your situation prior to saying that. But everyone battles moments of doubt or confusion mus understanding. The key word for those whove commutted the unpardonable sin is indifference. You would be here seeking if you had need to worry... Those who've commited the unpardonable first dont ealuze theyve committed it and dont care. Theyre indifferent. The kingdom of Gidisnt divuded against its self either. The Lord through the Holy Spirit wouldnt be drawing you. You wouldnt be concerned about this.
Hey buddy, you didn't. That's not what it is. And don't worry about the debates, they're pretty good once you understand more in scripture. I don't resent atheists at all since they're usually wonderful people. They're arguments are rooted in reason but because of modern christian culture that turns scripture into strange abstract poems, it can be a source of confusion if you haven't gotten the bigger biblical picture. I love atheists but trust Jesus over their arguments. No contest.
Gee, only "one family". Seems like this omniscient, omnipotent god of yours who is claimed to be all loving, all good and knows in advance the outcome of his creation, could have done a much better job of creating so he wouldn't have to kill most every living thing!
Why not just tell us what the hebrew translation really means instead of telling us to go read it? I for one don't know Hebrew and am not real good at picking up foreign languages. I rely upon others who can to help me out.
@kamicka23 The NT is complete with examples of Christians which caused other Christians to lose their salvation: II Tim.2:17-18 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. John in III John warn saints not to follow evil leaders like Diotrephes, which was only leading the Christians into blindness. In Rev.2 and 3 Nicolaitans are evil brethren
Now there are false teachers out there teaching false doctrines & deceiving believers & non-believers through their false doctrines. Due to these false doctrines, yes, his doctrines can send a non-believer to hell & into condemnation,but not the Christian. Because the Christian cannot lose his salvation.Yet, still,God in his mercy, will send the true word to the non-believer so that he has the opportunity to accept or reject the gift of salvation. The teacher will be held responsible, absolutely
If you meant it of course it's unbelief. But from what you're describing you are obviously worried so it's an indicator that you probably just had some personal spack about something and said it out of anger. If you were really an unbeliever you'd be completely bitter about God and hate hearing about it. But you seem to be wanting to know if you can be forgiven from it. A real unbeliever wouldn't want that. Search for 'True and False Conversion' by Ray Comfort
A person can harden their heart so badly that God will say ok and enough is enough and let them stay hardened. The book of life already has everyones name that is saved. It could simply be that an athiest name is not written in the book of life because they could never be saved
URGENT!!- PLEASE READ. i am a born-again Christian (i know im born-again b/c i have experience the Holy Spirit) and i believe i have committed the Unforgivable Sin. one night laying in my bed i was tempted (i felt the temptation in my mind and body) and i "spoke out-loud" these words: 'i blasphemy the Holy Spirit' and 'F*#* the Holy Spirit'. i didnt really mean it but again i think i did. right after that i said these words: 'the Spirit has to stay w/ me, You have to stay w/ me.' (continued..->)
You have not committed the unforgivable sin, the unforgivable sin is not cursing the Holy Spirit. Confess your sin and repent of it and God will forgive you
You have been forgiven, this happens when the devil does not want you to be saved he wants you to lose hope, but you know better the Lord understands your heart friend He will forgive you
"The depths of the ocean" That ocean got very, very deep when your loving, forgiving god allegedly flooded the entire Earth killing every one except the very lucky Noah's ark passengers. If that's your version of love I sure don't want to know what the hate version is!
You should def read the entire text how it says,"All flesh had become corrupt" and research exactly what that means. You are very far off in your point of view
You may say that you are open to the idea of "God", but if you claim to be an Atheist you are not open, because you don't believe that one exists. You can't "prove" the non existence of God, can you? Wouldn't the proper term to be used in this case be "Agnostic",which means simply that you don't know, or don't have enough information to come to a logical conclusion? People have been going around and around about this subject for years,and nobody is any closer to solving the problem than before.
@saveyoursoulyt So much for thinking, instead you choose to jump straight to the evidence of instinct... not very very convincing to anybody but perhaps yourself. Lets hope you do better on the next assignment: According to the bible Adam and Eve were the first people on earth. They had the sons Cain, Able (and Seth), and from there the world got populated. Now the question is: who did Cain and Able have children with?
LOL! Yes...Adam and Eve were the first human creations...but the Bible does not say they were the only humans. Or as some say...they married their un named sisters...there were more children besides the twins Cain and Abel.
@JoBernard12oxen - Thanks, but I prefer not to watch false doctrines that call God a liar. We are told that whomsoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God, whom God raised from the That if we repent from our sins & turn from our ways, that God is just to forgive & forget them. We sin every day, but as born again believers, we strive not to sin. I would suggest you quit watching things that are destroying your faith in what God can do & has done for us.
I love this sermon Pastor Greg. This is great. I ask that you pray for me. I have anew Neurologist, he is going to find something to control my tremors. from my TBI. I have been taking Clonazepam. really bad in NY right leg. it came from my TBI. I have had 4 Neurologists and they all give it to me. please let am praying games with my life. God Bless. my arms and hands do it too.
I brought up the subject of atheism ONLY because it's all over the board. I wasn't the first, But hopefully you will be the last. OK, Back on topic then, which is the unpardonable sin.......
19:05....The statements made with regard to why people reject Jesus are simply not true. There are plenty of agnostics/atheists in the world who have done research and come to a conclusion. I'm sure there are some who want to live however they want to live, but you can't blanket them all that way. That's simply being dishonest about the nature of doubt.
We all know deep down inside that God is very real. The only reason we are seperated from God is because of our sin. There is a ton of proof everywhere you look that God is very real. First place I'd have someone look is at their moral compass. How do we know murder is wrong? How do we know stealing is wrong? Then I would show them the scientific impossibility that all this we have here in this galaxy could not have come from an explosion. To create something out of nothing is logically impossible. I do believe that our moral law is written on our hearts. Anyone who does not believe willfully doesnt believe.
@kamicka23 The bible says Gal1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: that the Christians can be removed from grace and worthy to be called condemned for following a false gospel, Heb. 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, a Christian "can" fail of the grace of God. I notice you use a lot of ideas but not scripture and when you use scripture you pervert it , not considering other verses on the topic
@saveyoursoulyt Great! I am glad to get you started. First thinking for yourself assignment: Compare the stories about Jesus in the bible to some of the other competing figures preseeding him; Mithras, Horus and Osiris. Ask your new thinking self is coincidence or plagiarism?
I Never want to Blaspheme The Holy Spirit. Psalm 19:13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin.
Levy LB only those who credit righteousness to anything/anybody other Than God is already a blasphemer. It’s not the words it’s the heart. Blame God for all evil because he is using it to GROW HIS CHILDREN . Just like Jesus. Trust Him!!! Greg Laurie is without understanding, a modern day Pharisee who is guilting people with false ministry rhetoric to fill his pockets!!! He is rich and Jesus AND the disciples were poor except Judas!!!
Greg has a greater Judgement!!! Good Seeds are being sanctified or grown to Gods purpose and precepts. Not a man. You must read your Bible with your heart for life. In the beginning God created... Evil was part of creation. God HAS A RIGHTEOUS PLAN. 🙏🔑✌️

So what Greg Laurie says in 43 minutes all boils down to,
"Dying in UNBELIEF." That is The Unpardonable Sin!
Why? These people have REJECTED God's Free 🎁Gift of Salvation by GRACE alone, through FAITH/BELIEF alone, on the Finished WORKS that Christ alone did FOR US AT THE CROSS!
"For by GRACE(No WORKS) are ye SAVED through FAITH/BELIEF; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the (free) Gift🎁 of God:"
"NOT of Works (we CANNOT WORK for it; we CANNOT PROVE it by a CHANGE in our outward behavior; we CANNOT MERIT it; we CANNOT EARN it; and WE CERTAINLY DON'T DESERVE IT), lest ANY man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9❤😊

@@philipbuckley759
Dear Phillip,
Didn't the Lord Jesus Christ die for ALL of your Sins? If by FAITH you BELIEVE that He did this FOR you, then WHY would you NEED TO FORSAKE YOUR SINS when you BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ Died and shed His Blood and PAID for ALL of your Sins, IN FULL?
ps. That tells the Lord Jesus Christ that what He did for you on the Cross wasn't good enough and that you are still going to ask for forgiveness and forsake. your sin(s); and by the way, Lord Jesus, NICE TRY."
True. Perhaps I didn't really lose all belief, for a moment perhaps my mind didn't believe but my heart still knew the truth and that's why I immediately changed my mind.
Or perhaps I did lose all belief for a moment but quickly came to my senses. Either way I should just be thankful God and The Holy Spirit are leading me in the right path and that I didn't harden my heart to a point of no return. Thank you for your encouraging words!
:)
Confess all your sins to God and repent. No turning back but move forward and always turn your eyes to Jesus 🙏
what does repent mean, or entail....
@@philipbuckley759 To turn away from your sins wholeheartedly.
I love God!!! I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and cannot wait to see my Lord in heaven 🙏
Your salvation is totally dependant on what Christ did for you and NOT on any works you may or may not be able to do. " ..not of works lest a man boast, but the gift of God"
so what about the ones that live, in their sins...
Keep Preaching Fire and Brimstone Pastor Greg Laurie! I also never want to Blaspheme meaning dishonor the Holy Spirit because it's unforgivable . I am so glad that have Jesus Christ in alive in my life ! God Bless you!
one thing i think of is: even if it were possible for a person to sell their soul to the devil, it honestly begs the question: Why on earth would anyone ever want to do that anyway?
For sinful desires like huge amounts of money, fame, power, the list goes on. It's all meaningless though say you sold your soul too Satan then an hour later you get into a car accident, then you got nothing but darkness for all time.
You are not judged for every word you say if you have been forgiven. The bottom of the SEA! REMEMBER? You are wiped clean if forgiven.
Yes. When the Lord forgives our sins, they are completely wiped out and the Lord forgets about them. The forgiven sins are not remembered.
This sin only to unsaved people so rest assured my Brothers and Sisters in Christ you will never commit this sin your souls are locked in!
Do you believe in Jesus as your lord and savior and admit your a sinner? If so then your going to Heaven. If not your going to Hell. End of story.
No .... Not end of story!
ACTUALLY THE REASON THEY ARE HERE IS EITHER THRY ARE UNDECIDED OR JUST LEARNING.....

A Christian cannot cause another christian to lose his salvation or cause that Christian to go to hell. God has never been about religion, but rather about a personal relationship with Him through salvation alone in Jesus. It is not of works but rather of grace. Therefore, a so-called Christian (who had religion & not a relationship) may find himself saying. Lord, Lord & Christ telling him to depart from Him because He never knew him.
@JoBernard12oxen - to cause someone to lose their faith or belief in God doesn't mean they lose their salvation. The NT also states that if we could lose our salvation, then Christ would have to die daily & that this doctrine puts what Christ did for us to shame. We are told that our names are engraved in God's hand. He has better things to do then constantly scratch out & re-engrave our names everytime we committ a sin. If you believe you lose your salvation, then you make God a liar.
at the time 2005-06 when i did this i didnt know 'all' the scriptures concerning this sin. 'And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.'and also in Mark 3 and Luke 12 it says basically 'you blasphemy God, youll be forgiven; (cont..)

Philip Buckley turn to god and turn away from your sin (forsake it). Ask God for forgiveness and CONFESS YOUR SIN
@@ephrataguracha6403 God brings about the repenting- a change is lifestyle. ( John 15) you repent in the sense of having a " willing mind". God helps you make that change... He does ask you to do it...because you cant..and thats works salvation. He guides you
Ask for forgiveness...believe into him
Whoever has the Holy Spirit will not Commit the unforgivable sin.
God is love but He is also just and can not tolerate sin. None of us deserve any more than to die in our sin. You're around today because He decided to save Noah and his family. The fact that we are still around today was a monumental act of grace and love. God saw that you were worth it. God loves you too and wants to have a personal relationship with You. Read more of the bible. I will pray that one day you and I will be praising God together in heaven. Romans 8:28
Boring pastures is Catholic religion pretty much, it's an extremely boring event to go too church I hated going too church as a kid was born into a catholic home, it was all pegan nonsense, always felt like going too sleep, but when I would read the bible myself my heart would sore with gratitude.
For the Atheist, It's always been easier to just dismiss things out of hand simply because they don't want to deal with those things. But all the dismissing in the world will not help whenever the moment of truth comes. Just because you don't understand something doesn't negate the truth, or veracity of it. I'm a Christian and there are many. MANY things that I don't understand about God, I'll not pretend that I do. But I'm not going to throw everything away just because I don't understand.
God is real. he the one true God father, son and holy spirit.
God created the whole world, and all the living things in it, He created the whole universe and created us in his own image. There is only one way to god and that is throught Jesus Christ saviour and friend forever. you will only be saved if you are a christian. the fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace,faithfulness Galatians chaapter 5 vs 22. my advice to people who are not christian is to repent before its too late, Richard
Great !!! Amen... they want to do whatever they want
Thank you Greg
Doubt isn't unforgivable. If you see bible verses that seem to say you can't be forgiven or if people insinuate you've done something unforgivable, don't panic. There's a lot of complex biblical contexts that go on. Over time once you study you'll get it.
It's normal to feel this way when you first start out in your walk and you'll get it quite often. If you're worried about whether or not you're saved, study 1 John. Also look at Luke 12:32 if you need reassurance.
neither1 john...nor the gospel of luke ==> are TO US ! so why lead someone there ?
If you would open your blind eyes for 5 minutes you would see God is everywhere and very real. When you stand before God will he accept you like you accepted him or will he deny you like you denied him? Life is short. Accept Jesus today because you never know when you will take your last breath.
@kamicka23 If there is any question between you and I about who is false or true it can be easily answered in this basic universal biblical pattern: false prophets have always maintained that God's people can continue in sin and be saved: that is exactly what your position is, The bible says if God's people willfully continue in sin they are rejected of God; that is a common biblical pattern Rev.3:5 & 22:19 Christians can be blotted out of the Lambs book of life "after" being written in it.
Saul Was transformed by the Holy Spirit and became the voice of the new testament. The same can happen to you. You are still alive, right? You are still able to ask forgiveness? There is still hope for you Jason. Let God heal you. I Corinthians 15:10
I got you some verses I have found encouraging.
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to [a]bear it." Corinthians, @
I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. Jeremiah, @
It's also encouraging that John Bunyan, who wrote the second most read christian book also struggled with blasphemous thoughts and whether he had blasphemed the Holy Spirit when he first became a christian.
Also, what the Pharisees who blasphemed the Holy Spirit and the several other people in the Bible who were pronounced unforgivable all had in common was that they had stubbornly hardened their hearts and disobeyed many times.
“He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy.” Proverbs, 29:1
I hope this is helpful and I will pray for you all. May god grant you the grace to put on the helmet of salvation and to keep it on. Lastly, keep reading lot's of Bible and think about it a lot because a lot of the problems we have are results of starving for more of God's Word.
"whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither"- Psalm, 1:2-3
I was raised a Christian and accepted Jesus into my heart a few years ago. However about 1 year ago I was going through a period of doubt and was watching videos of Christians and atheists debating
I was thinking of one debate in my head and reached a point where I thought "this makes no sense! God cannot be real" and then said aloud "I just became an atheist"
I immediately felt sick and said "No I'm a Christian."
I have felt terrible about this ever since, did I blaspheme the holy spirit?
No, you just had a moment of doubt. What made you sick? If you had hardened your heart you wouldn't have felt sick. You would have felt rage against God.
It’s a scary feeling right. ?
Hi I feel like I did the unforgivable sin as this was I had blasphemous thoughts and now I it at the point I do movements, facial expressions or make a noise I get cuss word in my head, smiling, or laughing and now I feel like hold my thought for too long and I can't seem to care help me anyone understand I'm scared
you explain so well, enjoying watching , by the way you remind me at Stiven Siegel (even your voice)
God forgives us all its better to not curse. But once were saved i believe were always saved. Once saved always saved im a Christian. Forever its not in the bible about. Losing your salvation. People that teach that are false teachers. Do the research ask your pastor. Before telling other people i like greg Laurie s message praise Jesus
Jeffrey Cox there’s the parable of the lost sheep? I guess if God found that sheep and then it decided to deny Him that could be a good representation of the unforgivable sin.
AMEN
How many times has the LORD said...John 3:21....
Blasphemy-speaking against-(this speaking is not verbally per say, it is in actions) blasphemy is not merely rejecting the teachings of the Holy Spirit, [which we all have done]: blasphemy against the spirit always, “always” involves others, that is to say: Christians that deceive other Christians to deny the Lord unto their condemnation; the Christians that caused another Christian to be lost can not be forgiven for they are held responsible for the souls that are lost by their false teachings.
Thank you Greg!!!
@JoBernard12oxen - Everyone can fall from grace ( even with family members or friends),but that is not the grace of salvation. As for Gal. 1:6- There are many false doctrines & churches in the world today, that don't teach the word of God. But rather instill their own convictions of what they think the word means. These people are not the children of God but rather of satan. Trying to divert them from the true word. I will not now or ever lose my salvation. I have His word for it.
Taking up your cross and following Jesus never saved one person. That is discipleship, not salvation. Acts 16:31 is salvation by grace. John 6:40. First John 5:13 based on John 1:12. Judas followed Jesus but never believed He was the Messiah. The thief on the cross just believed and was saved. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing. The GIFT of God is eternal life, Romans 6:23 But, you have to believe it to receive the GIFT. John 3:16-18 John 6:47 Most will never believe it. Few there be that find it.
We have to be as righteous as God to go to heaven, and no one is. But, Romans 4:6-8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth righteousness without works, Blessed is the man whose sins are covered, Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. All believers have His righteousness imputed to them by faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing. The second we believe we are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.
Notice the other reference to the virtual impossibility of offending one of Gods children: Matt.18 Jesus says except you become like this little child you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven: he uses a child to fix a spiritual picture, but then uses the spiritual child (Christians) in the description toward them which offend (cause a Christian to stand apart from Christ). The consequences of which are inseparable from the condemnation which is caused by the one invoking the departure.
Friend, human heart is very evil no matter its an Atheist heart or Christian heart. Because Christians or Non Christians live in this world. For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:16. Only difference is that Christians have Power of Holy Spirit to win the spiritual battle while Non believers loss every day. God is good, He shows His mercy to all man including most harden heart person.
Thank you for your response. I guess I'm just worried that even for a moment there I truly lost my belief in God. And that is unforgivable. And even if I repent now I will be denied, like Esau was.
It mentions Esau in Hebrews saying he found no place of repentance though he sought it with tears. Does that mean his repentance was denied or that he did not truly repent?
He was asking Issac to take back his promise from Jacob, and asking for repentance for giving his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup.
It means that he wasn’t able to find repentance. God NEVER rejects genuine repentance. Repentance is basically doing a 180 degree turn from sin to God. He didn’t repent. Esau loved the world too much. Ask God for belief and faith. If you repent from the “Unforgivable Sin” then you weren’t even guilty of it in the first place. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable, not because it is “unforgivable.” Actually, it is because the person no longer has the desire to repent of that specific sin. The Holy Spirit guides you of sin and drives you to repentance. So in turn, blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because it is disabling you to repent. What the Pharisees did, is the most blasphemous statement you could make. God does not reject anyone who repents of this sin. But, the person is so hardened, so unwilling, that they do not repent. It’s a belief similar to: “Even if God came down, I’d STILL unbelieve.” God forgives every sin if we repent of it. 99% of the people that commit this sin absolutely loathe him. They don’t ask for forgiveness. The simple sign is, if you are worried you have committed this sin, then you most definitely haven’t, because you are evidencing the absolute opposite attitude needed to commit this sin in the first place. Blasphemers have been forgiven. Peter was, 3 times. You can’t come to God unless the Spirit draws you to him. So if you find yourself repenting, asking for forgiveness, you weren’t guilty of the sin in the first place. For the scripture is supposed to comfort the frightened, and to frighten the comforted. Also, if you have faith, there’s a big sign you haven’t. God doesn’t give faith to someone he doesn’t forgive. I would say that Hebrews 6 described the sin that they did the best. They tasted the power to come, which was the miracles, they fell away, they said NO. And notice what it says, it is impossible to renew them to REPENTANCE, not forgiveness. Repentance allows forgiveness, so if you are repenting of this sin, you never committed this sin anyway.
@Ayedavanita7
The word repentance or repent is not always connected to sin.
For example. God repented that he created man on the earth. Repent just simply means " to turn, to change ones mind. To change ones opinion, attitude..thought" its that same as say in a persons youth they thought one way on something but age and maturity has changed them( repented) its a changed mindset.
God brings about the repentance in the sense of change of life style. John 15 We repent mentally " a willing mind". God brings about the change of lifestyle physically speaking
The verse in matthew where the unpardonable sin is mentioned. Points out that Just as Satan's kingdom isnt divided...neither is God's. A person wouldnt be seeking forgiveness if they committed the unpardonable sin....because they wouldnt care if theyve committed it or not...in a word " indifferent" inconcerned.
@JoBernard12oxen - That verse refers to someone who backslides. Nowhere in those verses does it say you lose your salvation. Read Heb. 6:4-6 -states that IF it were possible for someone who once got saved, to regain their salvation if they sinned, seeing that they crucify themselves to the Son of God again & put Him to shame. Meaning Christ would have to be crucified over & over again for your sins. (Once you lost your salvation, you couldn't get it back). Therefore, you CANNOT lose it.
So sad to see many atheists and ex-Christians in this world. Just want Jesus to return soon and destroy Satan! Amen!
So can Christian's commit the unpardonable sin?
interesting question...
Does anyone know or believe that if we say that the Catholic church is false or. Not following the commandments.. Is that a form of blasphemy.. I feel bad about it for judging so I will repent.
Only God could show a person that they need Jesus. If a person doesnt believe then it is up to the Holy Spirit to show that person that they need Jesus. If that person doesnt want Christ and salvation then it could be that their name simply isnt in the book of life and never could be saved
I wonder does thought count towards (filling up the book upon which you will be judged) ?
Sitto Niko Christians don’t have judgement day
@kamicka23 May I suggest you view "The Biblical Plan of Salvation", this is a critical lesson which I believe will change anyone that believes faith is merely believing on Christ, those that hold an idea that salvation can not be lost need to see this video, both parts. I would also invite you to pause the video on the presentation part to get some of the details if needed.

I would probably live the same way if I were a Christian, it’s not that it would interfere with the way I live. It seems like Greg doesn’t understand the nature of truth, evidence, or love for that matter. All the things he mentioned doesn’t cause unbelief are precisely why I don’t believe. I see a book of contradictions supported by almost no evidence, talking about a God that is petty, unjust, and doesn’t offer real love and forgiveness. Belief is not a choice if you don’t deluded yourself and understand the nature of truth. Like someone said, thank God I’m an atheist. If I believed this were true it would be like living in a celestial North Korea.
@God is Good If I do see him, I will. Who in their right mind would determine someone is deserving of eternal torture based on something you have to take on faith with no evidence? If this is the most important truth, why would you be forced to take it on without evidence, sounds like some sort of sick game. You could be a good person with a good heart and still be tortured because you couldn't believe an unreasonable belief? Alternatively you could be wicked and be saved simply because you're irrational. That is a very unjust thing for a supposedly good God to do. If I gave you a multiple choice test with all the answers left blank and told you that you had one shot otherwise I will torture you, would I be a just test giver?
I will pray for you dan. Ok have a nice day
@@jeffreycox558 I appreciate the sentiment, thanks.
Sir, Is this possible for a Man to blaspheme Holy Spirit today. I mean if some one knows Holy Spirit very well then such person never blaspheme Him but if some one never know the Spirit of God then how it can be possible to blaspheme Him? In time of Jesus only Religious Jews were in such position to blaspheme Holy Spirit because they knew Jesus was casting out demons by the Power of Holy Spirit. Today only Christians are in such Position to blaspheme Holy Spirit because only Christians know Him.
A person who blasphemes is a person that doesnt care not only that they have but they dont know know him. Only the spirit can draw you and bring you to know christ. Only the spirit can reveal who Jesus is- Christ. An person who has committed the unpardonable sin doesnt care that they have committed it and doesnt care who Jesus is. In a word..theyre " indifferent".
In the beginning of the book of Galatians the apostle Paul says he blasphemed but was forgiven because he did it ignorantly. Reading this and the account of as a Pharisees of pharisees and his persecution of the church before converting should shed some light.
i said 'what i said'. i think maybe the Holy Spirit was taken from me then.it also talks about '..in this age and the age to come'; so someone in the next age (after death/ return of Jesus/ New Jerusalem) is completely able to blasphemy the Holy Spirit. only born-again believers will make it to the next age right? the others will be in ****. also, i was having a hard time in life and Attempted Suicide and that night i lay in bed and the scripture 'its an eternal sin' sharply and vividly(cont.
@MarkTyner
If you had lost him you wouldnt be here, you wouldnt be seeking the Lord's face. A person who has commited the unpardonable sin wouldnt care...they wouldnt be seeking truth, they wouldnt care if they have committed the unforgettable sin. Ihave been told this many times..the Lord knows your frame and that we are dust. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and Dont lean on your understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6.
We feel many thinks in life and interpret ourselves by those feeling. The devil loves to torment and keep ppl in doubt. You being here and seeking out God and his forgiveness should be clear to you that you arent doomed. Only the Lord can draw ppl to himself through the Spirit..Just as the verse that was read my Greg in this video, the devils kindom isnt divided against its self....so why would God's kingdom be? God draws ppl to himself ...you seeking is the drawing. Like what ive been having to do. Forgive yourself. God is mire willing to forgive you, then you are to ask him. Forgiving self is the hardest part.
You shouldnt take anyone for their word so you should check it out for yourself, but i know its a pain because translating one language to another you cant expect everyone to know the original languages grammar but if you look at youngs literal translation its more clear in those verses.
Well I can tell you if you don't accept Jesus as your lord and savior you and admit your a sinner then yes I can tell you what will happen.
you blasphemy Jesus, youll be forgiven but if you blasphemy the 'Spirit' you wont be!think about it, you hear people, maybe even yourself, blasphemy God and Jesus all the time, but 'not the Spirit'. also, i had a supernatural? experience during that time 05-06 where it felt like every cell in my body exploded all at the same time; like from the top of my head to the soles of my feet electricity (pure energy) went thru my body. this experience could have happened the day after the night (cont..)
So I think, in modern time its not possible to Blaspheme Holy Spirit by unbelievers. But a True Christian is in a position to blaspheme Holy Spirit. Just like a Teen age rebellious son can abuse his dad rather than a evil teen age boy living on the street or out side house. So I think, a True Christian should be alert all the time and should be prepare for any kind of evil thoughts which may raise in his heart against Spirit God. Because blaspheme raises in Spirit Realm, Christian live in Spirit
No you think a true Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, who does things by the Holy Spirit could blaspheme the Holy spirit? No, I would argue that no a true believer cannot.
Adam Nichols I agree there are evil forces acting in the world as well that especially can’t wait to attack us that are saved. God knows our hearts Jesus will forgive us if we ask humbly and believe..
@JoBernard12oxen - Chptr 3 is refering to the rapture of the church. Those that are in that church already have their robes of white because they accepted Him, but there were those in that church who had not accepted Him or his word. It is to them that He is referring that if they don't accept His word, that He will blot their name out of the book of life. Note that this is not the Lamb's Book of Life. Be careful of what you are accusing concerning chpt 22 - it means a reward, not the soul.
Folks, I committed this most torturous sin. I was saved, truly filled with The Holy Spirit and went into sin, with a final wilfull blaspheming God. If you truly have committed this, you will know it most assuredly. You will receive a spirit of torture, just like happened to Saul, and just like also happened to Judas, who released he was damned and committed suicide. I wish I had never been born.
Saul turned into Paul God saved him you can be forgiven repent
Jesus was accused of actions that influenced others unto condemnation: this is blasphemy. Jesus further ask if I cast out by Beelzebub whom do your false healers (children) cast them out? And why does he say they shall judge the Pharisees? Because when the false healers are condemned of God for their false miracles, those same false healers will accuse the Pharisees of putting them up to it; now it will be “impossible” for the Pharisees to escape the blame and the same condemnation.
@kamicka23 you should note that Christ conversation about blasphemy only included those false teachers that seduced his spiritual children "Christians", that is, Christ care for Christians is so great that should anyone cause them to commit apostasy (which by the way is always Christians standing apart from Christ) and be condemned, it is impossible to escape condemnation for having cause condemnation; consider the figurative use of the term Jezebel in Rev. 2:20 causing saints to worship vainly
The unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by rejecting the truth of Jesus Christ is Lord, if you are not born again with faith in accepting Jesus Christ and you die that way you have committed the unforgivable sin. Accepting Jesus is turning from your sin to him. From that moment on, when you sin, you must repent and be cleansed. One cannot just obtain fire insurance from Jesus Christ and then sin on purpose so that grace will abound in your life. Bryan Fulwider, A famous Christian radio evangelist has just been busted for the sexual abuse of a child over five years. Do you really think that he is going to be going to heaven just because Jesus died for his sin and he accepted Him many years ago? Only if he truly repent and is absolutely disgusted with himself over what he has done, will Jesus forgive him and accept him. No professing Christian would ever sexually abuse a child!! Sexual sins are an abomination to God!!
@JoBernard12oxen - Well, I sure hope for your sake, that you're not caught in the middle of a sin when you die.Rom.6-read the whole chptr. & 1Jn1:8-10. If we say we have no sin, then the truth is not in us. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar & His word is not in us. Therefore, by your belief, if you sin, you lose your salvation. And if you committed a sin that you're not aware of or forgot to ask for forgiveness, what then? You go to hell for a forgotten sin?
Yeah if he did all that I doubt he would have any desire in his heart to know God. How would he get away with the crimes? They would have him lock down for the rest of his life? Chose God now or before it's to late. You will stand before him one day. If you reject him he will reject you. It's your choice.
God didnt harden pharaoh's heart, read the passage in hebrew and understand the idiom being used and active verb
I realize your comment was 6 years ago and that you most likely are not going to answer me back but anyway, how can I read it in Hebrew when I don't speak Hebrew and if I did I don't know where to get a Hebrew copy, so why don't you just post it here and Translate for us
So, either we accept your extortion or else. "Or else" seems pretty good, given that when someone murders 40 or 4,000 people, slaughters 20,000,000 innocent animals in a meat-food factory, sets 10 bombs in schools and churches but says: "I'm sorry, Jesus Christ--forgive me" and can get away with these crimes.
That may make sense to the professional Christian.
if you hate, without a cause....it is murder, if you lust it is adultery......sin is deeper than we can understand, and so if forgiveness....just dont live in your sin...
@JoBernard12oxen - This is not a question of who is right, but rather that God is true & just in His word. We are told eternal life. Not if we live a perfect life will we make it to heaven. That is works & not grace & we are saved by grace & not of works. Even Paul had sin in his life. Do you think that he is in heaven or hell? We are told - whosoever believes will have eternal life. God does not go back on His word or His promises. Not the God I serve.
And why is it so called "Atheist' come on to a page like this which really has NOTHING to do with the subject of Atheism, or the existence of God at all and start talking about this subject which has NOTHING to do with the subject at hand?I see this kind of thing all over UA-cam. Can't we just stay with the subject at hand, which is the unforgivable sin? I wrote what I wrote initially because of that reason. Isn't it a matter of respect to do that, and stay on the course of the subject at hand?
It's somewhat disconcerting and a bit odd that you, someone totally unknown to me, happen to know what's gonn' to happen to me."
As the late Tom Lantos used to say: "I don't buy eeeet."
you dont need to know anyone....you just need to know the Bible...and say, if this is true, and you are in this arena....or situation, then this is what the Bible says that will happen, to you....
@@philipbuckley759 9
And if you read my post in it's entirety you will see that I addressed this issue. Having said that, Can we please get back with the subject at hand, which is the unforgivable sin, and NOT atheism?
@kamicka23 Heb.3:12 Take heed, brethren (Christians), lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb.4:1 Let us(Christians) therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us(Christians) of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Heb.3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; we are accepted "IF" we continue in faith. Faith is proving our love for God to the end.
So even though I said aloud to myself "I just became an atheist". That's just doubt and not full unbelief?
Atheists know there is a God the creator....they just chose not to worship or praise God. They are a form of anti- Christ.
Sharon SMITH some atheists just don’t fully understand yet, but one day a lot of the will become Christians hopefully
@Ayedavanita. I dont know your situation prior to saying that. But everyone battles moments of doubt or confusion mus understanding. The key word for those whove commutted the unpardonable sin is indifference. You would be here seeking if you had need to worry... Those who've commited the unpardonable first dont ealuze theyve committed it and dont care. Theyre indifferent. The kingdom of Gidisnt divuded against its self either. The Lord through the Holy Spirit wouldnt be drawing you. You wouldnt be concerned about this.
Hey buddy, you didn't. That's not what it is. And don't worry about the debates, they're pretty good once you understand more in scripture. I don't resent atheists at all since they're usually wonderful people. They're arguments are rooted in reason but because of modern christian culture that turns scripture into strange abstract poems, it can be a source of confusion if you haven't gotten the bigger biblical picture. I love atheists but trust Jesus over their arguments. No contest.
Gee, only "one family". Seems like this omniscient, omnipotent god of yours who is claimed to be all loving, all good and knows in advance the outcome of his creation, could have done a much better job of creating so he wouldn't have to kill most every living thing!
Why not just tell us what the hebrew translation really means instead of telling us to go read it? I for one don't know Hebrew and am not real good at picking up foreign languages. I rely upon others who can to help me out.
@kamicka23 The NT is complete with examples of Christians which caused other Christians to lose their salvation:
II Tim.2:17-18 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
John in III John warn saints not to follow evil leaders like Diotrephes, which was only leading the Christians into blindness.
In Rev.2 and 3 Nicolaitans are evil brethren
✝️🧎♀️
Now there are false teachers out there teaching false doctrines & deceiving believers & non-believers through their false doctrines. Due to these false doctrines, yes, his doctrines can send a non-believer to hell & into condemnation,but not the Christian. Because the Christian cannot lose his salvation.Yet, still,God in his mercy, will send the true word to the non-believer so that he has the opportunity to accept or reject the gift of salvation. The teacher will be held responsible, absolutely
If you meant it of course it's unbelief. But from what you're describing you are obviously worried so it's an indicator that you probably just had some personal spack about something and said it out of anger. If you were really an unbeliever you'd be completely bitter about God and hate hearing about it. But you seem to be wanting to know if you can be forgiven from it. A real unbeliever wouldn't want that. Search for 'True and False Conversion' by Ray Comfort
another one man show....the church....
A person can harden their heart so badly that God will say ok and enough is enough and let them stay hardened. The book of life already has everyones name that is saved. It could simply be that an athiest name is not written in the book of life because they could never be saved
URGENT!!- PLEASE READ. i am a born-again Christian (i know im born-again b/c i have experience the Holy Spirit) and i believe i have committed the Unforgivable Sin. one night laying in my bed i was tempted (i felt the temptation in my mind and body) and i "spoke out-loud" these words: 'i blasphemy the Holy Spirit' and 'F*#* the Holy Spirit'. i didnt really mean it but again i think i did. right after that i said these words: 'the Spirit has to stay w/ me, You have to stay w/ me.' (continued..->)
You have not committed the unforgivable sin, the unforgivable sin is not cursing the Holy Spirit. Confess your sin and repent of it and God will forgive you
You have been forgiven, this happens when the devil does not want you to be saved he wants you to lose hope, but you know better the Lord understands your heart friend He will forgive you
"The depths of the ocean" That ocean got very, very deep when your loving, forgiving god allegedly flooded the entire Earth killing every one except the very lucky Noah's ark passengers. If that's your version of love I sure don't want to know what the hate version is!
Nice try! Next time read the whole background and the reasons why God flooded the earth, until then do not speak
You should def read the entire text how it says,"All flesh had become corrupt" and research exactly what that means. You are very far off in your point of view
You may say that you are open to the idea of "God", but if you claim to be an Atheist you are not open, because you don't believe that one exists. You can't "prove" the non existence of God, can you? Wouldn't the proper term to be used in this case be "Agnostic",which means simply that you don't know, or don't have enough information to come to a logical conclusion? People have been going around and around about this subject for years,and nobody is any closer to solving the problem than before.
@saveyoursoulyt So much for thinking, instead you choose to jump straight to the evidence of instinct... not very very convincing to anybody but perhaps yourself. Lets hope you do better on the next assignment:
According to the bible Adam and Eve were the first people on earth. They had the sons Cain, Able (and Seth), and from there the world got populated. Now the question is: who did Cain and Able have children with?
LOL! Yes...Adam and Eve were the first human creations...but the Bible does not say they were the only humans. Or as some say...they married their un named sisters...there were more children besides the twins Cain and Abel.
@JoBernard12oxen - Thanks, but I prefer not to watch false doctrines that call God a liar. We are told that whomsoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God, whom God raised from the That if we repent from our sins & turn from our ways, that God is just to forgive & forget them. We sin every day, but as born again believers, we strive not to sin. I would suggest you quit watching things that are destroying your faith in what God can do & has done for us.

I love this sermon Pastor Greg. This is great. I ask that you pray for me. I have anew Neurologist, he is going to find something to control my tremors. from my TBI. I have been taking Clonazepam. really bad in NY right leg. it came from my TBI. I have had 4 Neurologists and they all give it to me. please let am praying games with my life. God Bless. my arms and hands do it too.
lol to the "thank god i'm an athiest."
So your not a Christian mr eddie. Have you ever read the bible. Ok then well i hope you find God in your life. I will pray for you ok im Jeffrey
I brought up the subject of atheism ONLY because it's all over the board. I wasn't the first, But hopefully you will be the last. OK, Back on topic then, which is the unpardonable sin.......
19:05....The statements made with regard to why people reject Jesus are simply not true. There are plenty of agnostics/atheists in the world who have done research and come to a conclusion. I'm sure there are some who want to live however they want to live, but you can't blanket them all that way. That's simply being dishonest about the nature of doubt.
We all know deep down inside that God is very real. The only reason we are seperated from God is because of our sin. There is a ton of proof everywhere you look that God is very real. First place I'd have someone look is at their moral compass. How do we know murder is wrong? How do we know stealing is wrong? Then I would show them the scientific impossibility that all this we have here in this galaxy could not have come from an explosion. To create something out of nothing is logically impossible. I do believe that our moral law is written on our hearts. Anyone who does not believe willfully doesnt believe.
@kamicka23 The bible says Gal1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: that the Christians can be removed from grace and worthy to be called condemned for following a false gospel, Heb. 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, a Christian "can" fail of the grace of God. I notice you use a lot of ideas but not scripture and when you use scripture you pervert it , not considering other verses on the topic
try focusing, on the subject, at hand.....
@saveyoursoulyt Great! I am glad to get you started. First thinking for yourself assignment:
Compare the stories about Jesus in the bible to some of the other competing figures preseeding him; Mithras, Horus and Osiris. Ask your new thinking self is coincidence or plagiarism?
