the unpardonable sin

[aitm]

Does anyone think they've committed the unpardonable sin that's mentioned in the bible? 

It seems to be attributing Jesus's work to a demon.

meh, god condoned murdering babies and raping little girls, I am not to concerned about sinning, hell I can't even take a free candy bar….

Giving a serious answer ... no.

The unpardonable sin is rejecting the Holy Ghost.  You can reject the Father and the Son all you want .... but not the Holy Ghost.

That is how I understand it. Isn't suicide another? A lot of Christians seem to think so.

From what I've read, most Christians nowadays believe that a person who "believes" they've committed an unpardonable sin hasn't actually done so, because they seek repentance.

Assuming an omnipotent, omniscient god, all sin is god's responsibility anyway.

Depends on the denomination. Many Christians see all sins as equal in the eyes of the Lord, and have different ways for atoning for them. A Baptist would just have to personally ask forgiveness on their own time, whereas a Catholic actually has to go in person and ask a priest for forgiveness. A lot of non-denoms would just say the answer is to accept Jesus into your heart and hope for the best. So even among Christianity, it varies.

Asking a bunch of atheists if they sin is kind of like asking a mormon to recommend the best brand of lox to go with a bagel.

GSOgymrat ... Christians consider suicide to be murder.  And if you kill someone else, you have a chance to repent ... but not if you kill yourself.  So it becomes unpardonable at least by narrowly logical people.  Assuming G-d is omnipotent ... then nothing is unforgivable in principle.  And yes, probably in context, saying that Jesus was doing demonic things ... was a sin against the Holy Spirit, rather than sinning against the Son ... because how can good things be evil.

I looked at a naked lady and didn't marry her. .

I take it that you did this 2,000 years before you were born.

I don't see the point, but anyways: I reject the Holy Ghost.

See ya'll fuckers in Hell.

Most people don't realize it ... but most languages are gendered.  The Holy Ghost in both Hebrew and Greek is female .. basically G-d's daughter.  Can't say I could reject G-d's daughter, but that is just the way I am wired ;-)  The Shekhinah/Hokhmah or Presence/Wisdom is also female in both Hebrew and Greek.  G-d's wife.

I farted in a lift once, with a child in a pram.

That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. You basically did the kid a favor.
