inurmind: I'm don't know but shouldn't the holyspirit actually tell you these things and not wait for you to start guessing games?

ATMC: By refusing to accept d message of christ to which d holy ghost bears witness.
By the way, if you are a christian, you can't sin against d holy ghost because you already accepted d message of christ

savcy:

True. But I could use information from other xtians on ds matter,dont u think so?

savcy:

This means alot of us xtians have sinned against d HolySpirit because in one time of our lives we have rejected d gospel.

savcy: How can one sin against or blaspheme the HolySpirit?

inurmind: I don't know but shouldn't the holyspirit actually tell you these things and not wait for you to start guessing games?

Yooguyz: the sin against the holy spirit is when you attribute a sign e.g miracles, to the devil..or you knowly call a miracle fake when you know within you that it's real and from God, then you're blasheming against the holy ghost

Ojay.com :
The sin against the Holy Spirit simply means "persistent sin",Mark 3:28-"All" sins shall be forgiven&blasphemies... So wat is dis sin dat can't be forgiven when all blasphemies can b forgiven,lemme give u a simple illustration,God says thou shalt not steal, u know its wrong to steal but u keep doing it denying d Holy Spirit in u(who have given ur life2Christ) because its d Holy Spirit dat converts souls dats y if u perform d highest feats/preach d sweetest sermon ever to an unbeliever he won't budge until d Holy spirit has touched his heart,its not an act of man,dats y our Lord Jesus Christ said in John 12:36-40 esp v40 says He hath blinded their eyes&hardened their heart so they won't believe(no matter what)...lest they b converted&i should heal them(hey mahn I didn't write it);So when u continue living in sin e.g stealing&without repenting until death,u are now in a position not to b forgiven because after death..Judgement(no repentance in d grave). Dats y all manner of sin can b forgiven as long as d sinner repents genuinely(Matthew 12:21&22-u can even sinn against d Son of man& be forgiven),dats y David said in Ps 51 take not Your Holy Spirit away from me.Its the Holy Spirit dat convicts u of sin not ur conscience,dats y a believer can commit&feel bad but d heathen don't.

Summary: anyone who lives in sin&dies without repenting/being forgiven has sinned against d Holy spirit&because d person is dead he can't repent or ask for forgiveness,therefore he can't b forgiven.

Hope dis helps.#pardon d typos

shinealight: Permit me to provide an insight into how Man sins against the Holy Spirit.
The first point to note is that, in the Trinity of God, the Holy Spirit is responsible for Creation as He is the Executive Arm of the Trinity (i.e. He executes the the Directives of the Almighty). The Holy Spirit is therefore the King of Creation because the entire Creation came into existence out His Radiation when the fiat 'Let There Be Light' was given by the Almighty Father. You can now understand that the Holy Spirit has woven His Will into Creation and this Will manifests as the Laws of Creation. Every violation or contravention of the Law of Creation is therefore a breach of His Will, or in other words, a sin against the Holy Spirit which will have consequences. Every time Man breaks the Laws, there are always consequences. That is why the Lord Jesus taught us that 'What you sow is what you reap'. If you sow goodness/kindness, you reap good; if you sow evil/envy/jealousy, etc - you reap evil. Also, as an endowment given by the Holy Spirit, every human being carries within him certain latent pure qualities which he is meant to nurture and develop during his sojourn here on earth. Those human beings who get here and decide to bury those latent 'pure qualities of the spirit' or decide to indulge in animalistic or materialistic endeavours which serve to dull the qualities of the spirit that he brought along to the Earth, are actually sinning against the Holy Spirit as they have refused to utilise profitably the talents they were given by the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus explained this clearly to us in the Parable of the Talents in which the talent was taken from the man who buried his talent and was given to the man who had utilised his profiably. What are those Laws of Creation which we humans break every day and which carry consequences that tie us down to the World of matter, preventing us from ascending? That should be our next topic to explore!

IZUKWU: By lying against the holy spirit and lying in the name of the holy spirit . It seems to me that there is a level you will reach in God to be able to commit this particular sin. Imagine those pastors called by their greed and stomach and they will say that God is calling them into ministry and full time and they will start looking for where to get magic with which to be doing miracles and confusing people so that they will be able to gather members .now imagine another minister actually called by God into ministry and full time and he is struggling and instead of depending and relying on God,he goes the way of what i described above. The holy will be more furious against the latter than the former , why ? Because he has known the original and yet went and embraced the imitation. The second minister knew the truth and have tasted it and he knew the fake . So when he willfully refuses to repent and continue in his errors ,if will be left with a condemned mind. My two cents though.

Bidam: that is greiving the Holy Spirit bro...(eph4:30-31).

Bidam: bro..u might do well to write in clear sentences..not all of us understand abbreviations..but from wat i gleaned from ur post u argument is that lying against the Holy Spirit can be forgiven..have u thot about the case of Ananias and sapphira? Wat happened to dem? Instant judgement becos they lied against the Holy Spirit..(act5:1-10).these are believers who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted of the word of God and the powers of the coming age(heb6:4-6)...as far as am concerned it was deliberate,willful, blaspheming the person of the Holy Spirit..when the church rise up in the Power of the Holy Spirit with all round gifts and manifesting the fruits of the Spirit also no force in hell can stop them just like the acts of the apostle judgement shall begin from the household of God..satan is having a field day now becos he knows believers are not right wit God..with u and me comming to agreement and understanding the will of the Father, the church cannot be perfected..satan knows this..hence he attacks churches within..he even counterfeits miracles with lying signs and wonders..but his time is short..there is already a great awakening in the Body of Christ..the knowledge of the glory of the Lord is taking over the Earth as waters covers the sea.

*Kails*:



so in other words the holy spirit is a conscience?

otherwise can someone explain to me what it is, if not as i described above??

Sorry for the typos. read 2samuel6:7.the man was also struck dead immediately so is dat also in your definition a sin against the Holy Spirit? Look mahn,ananias&his wife were fraudulent as to concerns their offerings and d anger of God was also kindled agaginst them...wonderful,now do you mean to tell me that SINCE THEN no one has lied in the House of God&has committed such an offence or even more deadly ones? Have u ever heard of armed robbers operating in a Church? How come nothing happens there immediately? It is God's will to decide to take away dat person's life immediately or not.d example I gave in 2samuel 6,there are other people that touched that ark like the philistines&the babylonians&every other set of people dat conquered israel&made away with it y were they not struck dead immediately? I honestly hope for your sake that you understand that "things" happen in churches,people commit unthinkable blasphemies&abominations but still God doesn't act immediately UNLESS He chooses to. looking@d example u gave again If I pledge 1million naira to God&i bring less(when I have the 1m)are u saying judgement will b passed on me right away&i'Ll b struck dead? My broda if u believe say it works dat way..gud luck to u,I'm not sayin its rite to short-change(remember its after death comes judgement not d other way around),judgement will begin@d house of God yes not when d. People are still alive naa,it simply means many are called bt few are chosen,the ones that are likely to go to Heaven will b from d House of God(the righteous will enter heaven first b4 the wicked will b destroyed). Bro, I'm not against u,@least 4rm wat u said someone shouldn't lie in church,dats marvelous bt pls don't tell anyone once they've done that they've been condemned/can neva b forgiven because dats simply wat u are implying,d people will walk(if they're not struck dead immediately)for the rest of their lives seeking for forgiveness&wont get it? Bros dat can neva b true,sin has its consequences bt it doesn't mean it can't be forgiven.

Geegee145:
Now, this is what I think.
I have read so much about this particular sin.
I THINK(opinion) you blaspheme The HOLY SPIRIT by
1. Lying : When someone says evil things or false things about the HOLY SPIRIT
2. Ascribing the works of JESUS CHRIST to the devil and vice versa
3. Rejecting Jesus and The Conviction by the HOLY SPIRIT
Now anybody who has committed this sin will have hardened his heart and would never ask for forgiveness
If you read the Bible carefully you would see that the Pharisees had stiff necks
