I committed the unforgivable sin but I am deeply regretful, am I without hope?

[helpmeplease]

I know this gets posted often but I really am concerned I committed it. I was baptised a year ago, and was deeply
blessed by God - however, as I was used to chaos in my life I started to get suspicious about the blessings and started rebelling against the will of God; it got to the point where I received a vision from my Holy Spirit and many promptings, but I still did not heed its warnings. One day I heard a prompting that it would leave forever if I did not follow it, and I brought it up with a priest who told me to put it aside. I was torn between following my Spirit or the priest and at the last moment I felt it leave; I honestly consulted a priest about this again after it happened and the priest told me to put it aside, and I actually verbally agreed with the priest that it was from a questionable source when deep in my heart I knew it was very likely from my Spirit. Since then I’ve felt empty evil and soulless and have been having trouble feeling any emotion. I am deeply remorseful for having ignored my Spirit’s promptings.. is there any hope at all for me to turn back to Christ???

I seriously doubt you have committed that sin. Especially if you are remorseful of it. That sin is a very difficult one to commit.

First off, you need to see a TRUE visible miracle from God.
THEN you need to tell everyone what you all saw was done by devil power and not from God.
And I believe there was a 3rd condition: that the purpose of telling people it was from the devil (when you really KNEW it was from God) was to keep people away from the Gospel.

That is from the various contexts where it is mentioned in the Gospel narratives.

Thank you, this helped me a lot. I regret all the things I have said and done as well as my stubbornness and rebellion in the past and will always cling onto the hope that God is the God of the impossible ie that He will find it in His loving heart to forgive me on Judgment Day. I can’t go back to the past so I can only try to live a virtuous life starting from today, I sincerely hope it will be enough but am resigned to my fate if it isn’t

The very fact that you are concerned about having committed the "unforgiveable sin" proves that you have not. It is when there is no such concern, no desire at all for forgiveness, that sin becomes unforgiveable. When a person's heart is so hard and cold toward God that they believe His power is actually of the devil and say so (which is what the unforgiveable sin actually is), they don't worry that they've said something wrong. Why would they? They believe in their cold, dark hearts what they've said and feel no qualms about it. But that's not you. Here you are stressing about it, which no one who was truly guilty of the "unforgiveable " sin would do.

Since then I’ve felt empty evil and soulless and have been having trouble feeling any emotion. I am deeply remorseful for having ignored my Spirit’s promptings.. is there any hope at all for me to turn back to Christ???

We can't sin against God with impunity. There are always consequences to our sin - sometimes very grave ones. Always when we sin, we cut ourselves off from fellowship with God and all the good things that He is: peace, joy, righteousness, love, etc. But we'll also grow hard and cold toward God the longer we remain in sin, finally becoming so hardened toward Him, so seared in our conscience as a result, that we can't distinguish right from wrong and forget about God completely. Again, this clearly isn't you - yet. But you are experiencing what God promises always results from sin. How to return to fellowship with God?

1.) Repent of your sin.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NASB)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

Revelation 2:4-5 (NASB)
4 'But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
5 'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first...

Revelation 3:2-3 (NASB)
2 'Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.
3 'So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent...

In the exposing light of God's word, recognize the lies you've told yourself that bring you into sin and reject them for what God says is right and true. Change your thinking about (repent of) what you've been doing, submitting yourself to God's truth.

2.) Confess your sin.

1 John 1:9 (NASB)
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

In prayer to Him, agree with God that your sin is sin and that your sin is always, ultimately against Him. Admit that what you've been doing really is sin. When you do, God promises to apply the forgiveness all of His children already have in Jesus to them, cleansing them from the stain of their sin.

 

[Anaphora]

Only Gods elect can commit the unpardonable sin, mark chapter 13 and Matthew chapter 10. John chapter 15, the spirt of truth will guide those Jesus has chosen. Some people have spirit of stupor. You committed possible sin out of ignorance. Many churches lie to people. Hosea chapter 5 or 6, priests practice absolution and make money off sins. Only Jesus can forgive sins by repentance. Just repent and move on. James chapter 1, pray to God for wisdom and knowledge. Study the bible.

 

[D-D-W]

If I confess this sin in the confessional and it is forgiven could I consider myself forgiven??

YES!!!

I havent felt forgiven each time I went to confess

Forgiveness is NOT a "feeling." Feelings can lie and the devil uses them to try and beat us down.

The unpardonable sin is a 2 way street. When the holy spirit thru Jesus was doing miracles the religious leaders said that Jesus was using the devils power to do these things.... this is blasphemy of the Holy spirit..... but it works two ways.... in that day they said the power of satan was doing good things basically... but there is a far worst blasphemy today when believers go to such a teacher as Kenneth hagan or rodnay howard browne and their slain in the spirit or drunk in the spirit...... there people are overcome by devils and made to laugh out of control and cant stop and sliding out of your chair onto floor or held to the floor for hours.... these people believe this is the holy spirit but it isnt.... so what have they done? They have attributed the work of the devil to the Holy Spirit....

And when that devil overtakes them and they willingly recieve it while believing in their hearts its the Holy Spirit they are done in my opinion.....

Ask forgiveness right at the source... Jesus...who is faithful and true to forgive.
If you feel sorry for what you've done then ask once and be done with it... since he already tells you straight out He will forgive you then take him at his word and dont doubt lest you make him out a liar.

 

[Zeth4500]

as i see it, when you admit your fault and you intend to do better- thats plenty. you will be punished accordingly to how well you stick to your promise. intention is important to god, god knows your intentions.

Much to be done here.

The issue of who is doing what and by what power:

Those accusing Jesus of using Satan’s power.

The religious leaders in Jesus’s day thougjtthey were doilingthe right things. They were not doing the right things.

The religious leaders blind accused Jesus wrongly. Jesus was doing the will of his Father correctly.

Satan wants people to think he is Equal to God. Satan is evil and not good.

I feel exactly the same way. Like a sinner. I want to confess but, I don’t know where to begin. i am hoping to find someone older and of spiritual authority to confess to from this site. I am seeking a phone confessional. Is that even a thing people do?

feel free to direct message me if you can help….anyone.

We take this to the Lord in prayer with a humbled heart of confessing our sin to Him as only Jesus can and will forgive us. Just go to Jesus in prayer as man can not give us absolution from our sin.

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When I think of Blasphemy the holy spirit I think it falls under the umbrella of cannibalism, stuff like that.

It's those who know the truth, but turn away from it by seducing spirits calling the doctrines of Christ doctrines of devils which is the blasphemy against God's Holy Spirit.

1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

People like Hitler are the ones who have committed blasphemy. He had demons that he didn't want to be delivered from. Hard core Hindus that eat people and sit on dead bodies and women worship a God of their menstrual cycle and putting blood on everyone, sacrificing anything and everything, animals included when the bible clearly tells us not too. People who do not want to be delivered from demons because they love them. We were born in the image of god. Some people are born into cults and religions that are very disturbing, but only God knows everyones hearts and men can not hide from God. So it is different from everyone in some ways. The Bible says we are without excuse.

 

[gordon777]

If I might answer for us, knowing the bible.

Notice how the Pharisees make accusation against Christ that through the devil He is casting out devils.

Jesus answers against that lie, how to spoil a strong man, ( the devil in man) a stronger than him, has to bind him first. ( Christ is binding satan in man and then casting him out.)

Jesus points out what sin to say that Christ has and does what He does, with an unclean spirit. ( that is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.)

Revelation further clarifies for us, that it is the beast and they of the synagogue of satan, that give blasphemy, the beast has heads with names full of blasphemy and opens his mouth in blasphemy against God.




Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.


Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.



Clearly the Pharisees did not believe in Jesus as He had testified, so blasphemy o the Holy Spirit is on those who never believed, and so they do not want to repent.



John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.



But if a brother never really believed, they might want to repent, they might want to place their trust in Christ, then it can be asked for them that sin not unto death ( who never truly believed yet) and life can be given for them. ( all unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death, it is those who never really believed yet, but who can come to God, as God wants them who He draws to them, and they never were blaspheming and mocking Christ in His words.


1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

He knows your heart. Can't stress that enough to people. Glad you received him into your heart and life.

Yes the scriptures testify the truth to us, not man, they tell us accurately what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, so we know who mocks God and who is not that insincere.

EVERYBODY TRY READING PLEASE..


Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
