The Unforgivable Sin: Have You Blasphemed Against the Holy Spirit I get comments from people who just can't believe my stories. If they would bother reading the comments of people who've experienced the same as I have, then maybe they wouldn't be so skeptical. As I grew up in the church, this verse was one of the bible verses that terrified me the most. Because no one KNOWS what it means. When you read or hear peoples' theories, you must realize they are all guesses. No one KNOWS what blaspheming against the Holy Spirit means. And no one KNOWS why, out of all the "sins" in existence, this one is the only one that is unforgivable. Of course, I, being the diligent disciple that I was, desired to please God completely one hundred percent of the time. But I never knew if I was successful.  I even remember anxiously talking to my pastor about it. His response was basically, "Well David you never know, do you? You'll just have to stay on your toes at all times!" And he had me! Right where he wanted me. An obsessively obedient and submissive servant who could never do enough for his master. Am I alone here?
