Question about not trying to offend the Holy Spirit

[sidetrack]

There’s probably been times when we’ve been angry at God and/or Christ but we know ultimately that they can forgive us.I’ve often heard though that the one unforgivable sin is to offend the Holy Spirit.Does this mean that offend the Holy Spirit is acutally the one certain way to end up in “the bad after life”?.Let me give a few examples of how offending the Holy Spirit might happen.The Holy Spirit is sometimes representing by a white dove with a like an aura of light around it.Let’s say someone is having a bad and in a fit of anger go about talking scathingly about everything they see including a certain portrait of a white dove with a glow around it.They take a close a closer look at that portrait and they see a plaque underneath that say “The Holy Spirit’s presence”.They then realize what they did and how grevious it is.Are they no beyond forgiveness and going to end up in “the bad afterlife”?.Another one.Someone is looking at a portrait of the Holy spirit when all of a sudden something they strongly dislike get’s in front of them and they start swearing off in their mind *while *still looking at the portrait of the Holy Spirit.Is that another unforgivable offense?. Thank you very much so for your time.

The unforgivable sin is not asking for God’s mercy, being impenitent at death. It is not a sin that we can just commit during our lifetime that bars us from Salvation. Trust in God’s mercy and you will always be forgiven from any sin.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, as I understand it, is when you attribute what is from God to Satan or something not-God. Basically, it means telling people evil is good and good evil.

you did not describe the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit at all. That is refusal to ask forgiveness of one’s sins.

Blasphemy of (against) the Holy Spirit, as we understand it, is totally and irrevocably unforgivable, right?

Well, CCC passages should help in your answer:

1857 For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."131

1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: "Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother."132 The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.

1859 Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes knowledge of the sinful character of the act, of its opposition to God’s law. It also implies a consent sufficiently deliberate to be a personal choice. Feigned ignorance and hardness of heart133 do not diminish, but rather increase, the voluntary character of a sin.

1860 Unintentional ignorance can diminish or even remove the imputability of a grave offense. But no one is deemed to be ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are written in the conscience of every man. The promptings of feelings and passions can also diminish the voluntary and free character of the offense, as can external pressures or pathological disorders. Sin committed through malice, by deliberate choice of evil, is the gravest.
