Question

Seeing as how I've already blasphemed the Holy Spirit, should I just go ahead and live however I want?

Answer 1

No man is without hope.

Answer 2

No, it's not a good idea, just think of how many people would be royally ticked off at you (especially family members) if you did whatever the heck you wanted without regard for anyone but yourself.  Remember, those are the people that you have to live with, so if you do something that would cause them concern or harm, they are more and likely going to make h**l look like a vacation resort.  Besides, who is to say that you will continue to think along the lines you are thinking at this time, and who knows.   Besides, it's not for us to judge each other or our ownselves to h**l, that is the Lord's job, and you never know what will happen.

Answer 3

Sure.  But bear in mind that it's only unforgivable if you don't ask for forgiveness.  

The unforgivably blasphemous sin is to tell God that you are too sinful or too perfect or too drunk or too busy or too anything to be forgiven.

Since we have free will, God doesn't force things on us that we don't ask for.  So:  you don't ask for forgiveness, you don't get it.  Ergo 'unforgivable'.

But then once you ask for it, you're no longer committing that unforgivable sin, so you then live however you want in love.

Answer 4

i think so, yes, just don't be messin' 'round 'ol people in the hood y'know!

and dont come messin' round the coppers, they'll want ya ded that's fo' sure... >_<

Answer 5

repent. there is still time.

Answer 6

That's the general idea.  Within reason, of course.  Each of us must live within the boundaries of our moral code.  More often than not, those boundaries are encompassed by those of societal norms.  Whatever floats your serotonin boat is usually OK by me.

As an atheist in all seriousness, I'll pay for your blaspheming carcass.

Ooops, I mean "pray".

Sorry, my bad.

Answer 7

ASK GOD 4 FORGIVENESS!! .. and learn from your sins lady!!  

Answer 8

What was stopping you from living however you want in the first place?

Answer 9

How do you know that you've already blasphemed the Holy Spirit?  I bet you don't even know what that means.

Answer 10

Yeah, I do all the time.

Answer 11

The Fundiegelicals led me to believe you already did!  It's all so confusing sometimes...

Answer 12

According to the religion, I don't think you can do it in disbelief.  

Answer 13

Might as well.  You're going to the Special h**l mentioned in Firefly.

Enjoy your eternal torment with child molesters and people who talk in the theatre. ;)

Answer 14

Whether or not an individual chooses to follow a religion, he or she likely has a personal moral code. If living "however you want to" involves criminal acts or other examples of immorality, then you will probably find that your conscience will nag at you, regardless of your rejection of religion (or in this case, a claim of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, often considered the "unforgivable sin"). One doesn't need to be religious in order to be moral.

Answer 15

As long as your freedom doesn't get in the way of someone else's freedom.

Answer 16

Yes, but no telemarketing.

That would earn you a place in a special "h**l's h**l".  

Answer 17

no and please dont brag about sinning..

Answer 18

You will never be forgiven, you are forsaken by God.

What does it mean to blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

Edit and let us know.

Answer 19

It would seem you already are.  At least saying whatever you want.

Answer 20

Bill Cosby will never forgive you.

Answer 21

You can always ask for forgiveness and live your life differently. I would guess that the answer you want is Yes, go ahead and live as you wish. Nothing that's said on this list will change your heart anyway.  

Answer 22

Yes, it does. Go out and be the best Atheist/Christian hater you can be. Sad to say that because you made this mistake you'll end up in h**l someday, but go ahead. I hope God has at least some mercy on you.

Answer 23

Yeah. I mean - worse case scenario you either land in prison (if you break a societal law) or if h**l really exists (heh - we know better) then you end up with all the intelligent, free-thinking people. At least we'll have interesting conversations for all eternity.
