Have you blasphemed the Holy Ghost on purpose?

Update:

thelocalatheist: That's my issue in a nutshell. What does "blaspheme the Holy Ghost" actually mean?

Update 2:

My question is about "the unforgivable sin." Is it to know Who God is and to willfully oppose His Holy Spirit? Or is it to merely "speak a word against Him," whether you believe or not? This warning was given to religious leaders who said that Jesus did miracles in the power of Satan.

Update 3:

ishlanier: Thank you. Now that some unbelievers are aware of this, how will they be able to resist demonstrating their unbelief by purposefully committing this "unpardonable sin"? What better way to prove you don't believe than to do the one thing that cuts you off eternally from any hope of salvation?

Update 4:

jp: I'm sure the ones Jesus was addressing when He spoke this imprecation did not know they were doing it. I don't think "ignorance of the law" gets you off on this one. Hey, I'm just discussing this, not claiming to actually know anything about it.

Update 5:

Q and Bugsie: I assume nothing of the sort.

    "NO" even when I was totally out of it spiritually! And I thank God Himself for that because if you ask this question you probably know that according to the Bible, Jesus Himself says this is the one sin you will "NOT" be forgiven for! You can blaspheme God Himself and Jesus, (the son of man) and be forgiven, but not blasphemy of the Holy Spirit!

    Mark 3:29 "but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation" --

    Luke 12:10 "And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

    I have even been idiotic enough to "literally" stand in the middle of a raging Florida thunder storm a furiously angry young man, shook my fists at God and cursed at Him! I would "NOT" encourage someone to be so foolish. God had a use for me and so "HE" chose not to make me a "Fried Fool" as I think back on this time. He was being extremely merciful! I just didn't understand why He allowed me to experience my dad's suicide and other traumatic events in my youth. Now I have a better understanding and I have His forgiveness.

    Do you believe what you read in the Bible? "I DO"

    Hello, This case of blasphemy is a specific one, called “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 12:31. In Matthew 12:31-32, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by the demon “Beelzebub” (Matthew 12:24). Now notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what they did to commit “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.” So this blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. Cheers, Michael Kelly

    I haven't.

    To blaspheme against God or the Holy (Ghost) Spirit is to cuss or say anything in disrespect. It is the only sin that is unforgivable.

    Luke 12:10 (KJV, King James Version)

    And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

    Luke 12:10 (HCSB, Holman Christian Standard Bible)

    Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

    To blaspheme against the Holy Ghost is to have been given a testimony...a sure knowledge...from the Holy Ghost, and then to deny it.

    Purposely...no. It is the one unforgivable sin...therefore, I would never feel clean and spotless...IOW forgiven of my sins...if I had.

    Well you assume we all have religious understanding.

    So if we do, and blaspheme, then yes it is on purpose.

    BUT, if someone is not religious, then they can not insult what they do not know.

    But for me !!!! OH MY NO!!! By the way there is no such thing as a ghost! It Is Gods Holy spirit!

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes I have. I'll do it now! I deny the existence of the Holy Ghost. I also deny the existence of god, jesus, heaven, hell, noah's ark, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and all the other figments of man's imagination.

    Sure, in the eyes of Christians I've done it everytime I have said I don't believe in God.

    Never blasphemed

  • 1 decade ago

    Yeah I wanted to see if I would really get struck by lightening. I didn't.

  • If you consider saying that I don't believe in your trinity as blasphemy, then yes.
