People committing eternal sin on YouTube

The Blasphemy Challenge is a website that invites people to submit video testimonials denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Those who do will get a free copy of the documentary, The God Who Wasn't There.

You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: "I deny the Holy Spirit."

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but he won't forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you're taking here.

Just saw the Blasphemy Challenge report on Boing Boing and thought it was hilarious. However, as a former Christian and current Discordian, I’m quite concerned that those poor souls participating in the Blasphemy Challenge have been deceived by the contest’s requirements and are not actually signing over their souls in an irrevocable manner. The requirements of “Unforgivable Sin” are simply not met by the act of denying the existence of the Holy Spirit.

A quick study of some related text (Matthew 12:22-31) will show that eternal damnation may only be assured by attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to the work of the Devil. The passage is centered on unbelievers telling Jesus that he was possessed by an evil spirit, and that he used the evil spirit to cast out another evil spirit. Jesus replied, telling them very specifically that they had just committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, as it was the Holy Spirit that empowered him, not Beelzebub.

If you’re going to blaspheme, do it properly! This “I deny the Holy Spirit” stuff is for pansies.

Thanks for the fun link!

my soul is in turmoil.
i was reading the bible to get closer to got, & im afraid it had the opposite effect on me.

i read the part about the apostles, (paul) in which there was a couple who sold their house to raise funds for the church, but they kept the money instead.
paul spoke words to them & they both dropped dead.

i was confused & disturbed by reading this.

from what i knew of the holy spirit of jesus, was that it was forgiving.
i recalled the story of the adulteress who was dragged in front of jesus by an angry, accusing mob.
they told him the bibles punishment said was she was to be stoned to death.
jesus replied, "let the sinless among you cast the first stone".
then he wrote in the sand.
when he looked up he saw they were all gone, & he said does no-one accuse you?
she said no lord.
jesus said, 'neither do i. go and do not sin"

i could not believe that if paul had the holy spirit, he could be so unforgiving & judgemental.

i said he was lacking the holy spirit, & if he indeed did have the holy spirit, & acted that way, then the holy spirit was f*****.

this is eating away at me now, as i fear i may have thrown my soul into hell with the unforgivable sin.
i am in despair, & dont know what to do.

did i commit this unpardonable sin?
please pray for me.
