The unforgivable sin

[petra99]

Hello,

I have read a lot of interpretations of what exactly the unforgivable sin really was, but I still have not come across one that addresses my situation. This has tormented me for 30 years. I was saved when I was about 6 years old. When I was about 9 years old I swore at the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and told them to get out of my life forever. It was just my temper speaking and it has bothered me ever since, stopping me from growing in my faith which I really am trying to do. Was this the unforgivable sin I committed? Please help. Thank You.

the unforgivable sin i think is just rejecting Jesus. It is not something done accidently it is something done unpurpose

[tigger398]

if you did the unforgiveable sin it wouldn't bother you so much. You wouldn't care. So I don't think you did it and satan is just lying to you.

No you did not commit the unforgiveable sin because you are bothered by having done this thing. The unforgivable sin is really tied to hardness of heart and that is not your case.

One bit of advice i really like... When Satan reminds you of your past; remind him of his future!

Pet, if you've asked for confessed this sin before the Father, repented, and asked Him to forgive you, He has. He'll never remember it or bring it up to you again, and if someone is bringing it up, it isn't God. It's Satan. Rebuke the thought in the name of Jesus and speak out loud that that memory has been covered by the blood of Jesus. It is no more.

What you are suffering from is not the unforgiveable sin, it is a trick of the enemy called condemnation he continually condemns our actions to God and us in order to cause us to feel hopeless and unforgiveable. To counter that God grants us the Holy Spirit which is about conviction not condemnation. Scripture also says to resist the devil and he must flee Take this struggle to the cross and leave it there. Turn your back on condemnation and face your convictions. If you have asked for forgiveness and have been honest about it it is done so go forward in joy. God Bless

Paul said "1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief."

So if Paul obtained mercy, we can too.

Please don't let the enemy use this against you any longer.

[petra99]

I thank you all very much for your replies. I have repented over this many times but the enemy kept putting doubts in my mind. I will now claim victory over this and not let satan use this against me any longer.

Thank you all!

This does tie into the thread about the Whole armour of God. This is where the Sword of The Spirit - the Word - is of most use to us. Knowing God's plan and the nature of satan gives us the foothold to deny condemnation.

One way of knowing if you are being Condemned or Convicted is in the nature of the two.

Condemnation (from Satan) is general and says "You are wrong or bad."

Conviction (from the Holy Spirit) is specific and says, "What you did is wrong or bad.

For there is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. (rom. 8:1)

Is man damned only for the sin of rejecting Christ.

Men were originally damned for the first transgression, and if Christ had never come, they would have to pay the same penalty for sin as they will finally pay if they reject Christ. (Gen. 2:17; 3:1-19; Romans 5:12-21).

Rejection of Christ, then is not the penalty for eating of the forbidden fruit. The sin of rejecting Christ only seals their doom (John 3:16-18).

The word "sins" is used many times as the basis of mans judgment and punishment (Lev. 26:1-46; Isa. 59:2; Jer. 21:14; Hosea 12:2; Amos 3:6; Rev. 2:23; 20:11-15). If men were damned only for rejecting Christ, then this would be the only sin they would ever have to face at the judgment, but this is not true. Men will give account of every idle word and every sin (Matt. 10:41-42; 12:36, 37; 16:27; Rom. 1:29-32; 2 Cor. 11;15; Rev. 20:11-15; 22;12).

Christ died to make an end of sins and cleanse from all sin, and not only for the one sin of rejecting Him (Dan. 9:24; Matt. 26:28; 1 Cor. 15:3; Gal. 1;4; Heb. 1;3; 2:17; 9:28; 2 Pet. 2:24; 3:18; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 1;5). In other words, God will forgive all sin upon repentance and acceptance of Christ. The unpardonable sin would be the total rejection of Jesus Christ and the absolute refusal to ever repent of this sin.
