I am scared I have committed the unpardonable sin as I was so anxious to be open to my faith with people that I struggled to speak. I was afraid of people and what they would think of me despite my pursuing of my faith. please help me. especially since Jesus said Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels -Luke 9:26. I am so anxious in spreading the gospel that I am in distress about it even though I know it is good and right to spread it, I want to. please help!
 
Are you scupulous?

You have not committed an unpardonable sin. Talk to your pastor about it; he will help you.
 
  1. Talk to your priest
  2. The verse you cite isn’t the one that generally deals with the “unpardonable sin”
  3. As long as you are alive and can repent from a sin then sins aren’t “unpardonable” (see what Maximilian said above).

Then you haven’t committed the unforgivable sin.

The unforgivable sin aka blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is impenitence up to the moment of death.

You’re not dead + you’re penitent = you haven’t committed the unforgivable sin.
 
The unpardonable sin is to not be sorry for your sins :). You have till your last breath to repent so you are okay.
 
Technically if your having any thoughts about it it is better to say the actuall scripture out of your mouth, you want the demons to hear but not loud enough that everybody hears you unless you need to speak up.
 
Hey, OP Pathway2, I know we have chatted before.

Would you want to explain why if you are an Anglican, you have asked Catholic questions on here several times? You do know that the people responding are Catholics and are mostly going to give you answers from the Catholic perspective, right? Which is not the same as Anglican?

We’re not experts on Anglicanism.
Are you converting, or just looking for the Catholic viewpoint? It might help folks to understand and answer better if you explain.
 
I am interested in Catholicism. I have questions have that is the protest over. Was the protest needed in the first place? I think as I growing christian, I must have a clear understanding and a better approach of what is Catholic church and will I find Christ in the church. what will help me grow in the faith… should I become Catholic.
 
This is just a personal opinion so take it for what it is worth to you.

I personally believe that maybe the only person who ever committed the unpardonable sin might have been Judas. Judas may have killed himself because he believed that he had committed a sin so great, that even God could not forgive it. That would be a sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit; to consider one so great a sinner that he or she is somehow beyond God’s mercy.

Of course, I also think that Judas might have been acting out of sense of justice as understood at that time, “an eye for an eye” Judas may have been offering to God, himself as a sacrifice to atone for the sin committed in handing Jesus over to the authorities. Actually, we don’t know. Will find out in good time.

We would love to have you become Catholic of course 🙂 We’d like it if everyone was a Catholic. It’s your decision to make whether to convert to Catholicism.

But whether you wish to do that or not, you are welcome here as long as you are respectful in your posts, and you are always respectful, so it’s no problem.

I just asked because there was some concern that you were getting answers from Catholics that would be appropriate for a Catholic. If you would like to know about the correct Anglican practice, then you should reach out to the clergy and staff at your Anglican church, or ask on an Anglican forum, because you will mostly get answers pertaining to Catholicism here. If you understand the answers are Catholic and you’re fine with that, then it’s not a problem 🙂

Many people who aren’t Catholic ask questions here because they want to know the Catholic answer, so they understand Catholicism better.

You may be right…

I always feel sorry for Judas though because he hurt his friend, really all of his friends, and he knew he did that and he fell into despair.
It’s also very likely that Judas did not fully understand who and what Jesus was when he made his bad plans.

I like to think if there was any possible way for God to forgive Judas, He did so. We will only find this out if we make it to Heaven ourselves.
 
Thank you. I understand, In fact I recall when talking to a Anglican priest and he said something of that God would be searching back for me even if I am lost. I am feeling better from the experience. I get moments where I am afraid I have committed the unpardonable sin. Thank you
 
what do you think would have happen if Judas instead of taking his life.Went back to Jesus and begged for forgiveness. What do you think would have happen?
 
If he was truly sorry (which Jesus would have been able to know whether he was or not), then Jesus would have forgiven him in an instant.
Jesus loved Judas just like he loves every sinner.
