I know Jesus Forgives but I'm not sure he will forgive me after this act.

[GoodbyeSin]

I would like to begin by saying that Jesus does forgive us of anything we seek forgiveness for and repent of, but he will NOT forgive blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, nor will he forgive anybody who receives the mark of the beast, any such people will go to eternal hell with no exceptions whatsoever.


I would appreciate it very much if you could help me out in my situation as I feel constant worry about it and also I feel stupid for what I did.
I'm aware of the Biblical book of Revelation's and particularly about the mark of the beast during the End Times and great Tribulation. I know that the Antichrist will try and get as many people as possible to receive a mark (his mark, the mark of the beast) in/on the right hand or in/on the forehead that no man may buy or sell saith he had the mark which is the name or the number of his name 666. I understand anybody who accepts this mark will go to hell, no if's about it, they will go to hell 100% guaranteed.
I believe a lot of today's technology could be a stepping stone towards, be the forerunner of or be the actual mark in the future on the right hand or forehead used for buying and selling and mainly the purpose of the mark will be worshiping Satan.

What I would please like your your advice on is this.

I was at home just over a month ago and the UPC barcode on a cardboard retail packaging caught my attention, I ripped the barcode from the box and held it for about 1 minute barcode side touching my forehead for about 1 minute. I knew it was wrong when I was doing this stupid act and in my heart I knew I shouldn't have done it. I don't know if it was my own stupidity or a demonic influence leading me to do this, I'm not sure.
I have OCD and when I do things once I feel the tendency to have to do it again. so I did it again a couple more times with different items with UPC on them, held the barcode side touching my forehead for a few seconds.

Last time I did it was just a little more than one month ago , I have asked for forgiveness from Jesus and repented and will forever stay repented from it, I feel so stupid for doing it and I truly asked for forgiveness from Jesus.
The said act is something I want to know if Jesus has forgiven me of and is something I certainly want to forget and leave in the past but I need to be sure of God's forgiveness first.
Now though that I'm trying to move on and forget about it I just get the worry in my mind that Jesus may not forgive me for this. I'm not sure where the worry is coming from or if it is Satan putting doubt in my mind trying to make me think Jesus won't forgive me.
It keeps me awake 2 months later, I still worry about it constantly day and night, It's really getting me down.

I just want to move on and strengthen my life with God but feel this worry is hindering my progress with Jesus.
Do you think this act is something Jesus forgives me from?

Hi friend. Can you explain what the point of this was? I don't even think this is a sin, just a silly pointless act. What was your intention here? Do you have a relationship with Christ?

I don't understand, exactly what was the sin?

 

[GoodbyeSin]

I don't understand, exactly what was the sin?

Hi

I think it was as sin because I knew what I was doing felt wrong as I was doing it, I know that UPC barcodes can also represent buying and selling and it is possibly a stepping stone towards the mark of the beast as we draw closer to the end of days.
Some say a UPC barcode may even be tattooed on hands and foreheads as the future mark of the beast.

I just want to know if Jesus has forgiven me and forgets about this stupid act?

First, Welcome to TJ GoodbyeSin!

The mind construct is very hard to understand at times, as I'm sure you already know. As you already know what you did was wrong, but wrong as in what Brother Chad said. "Silly pointless act." No you haven't given yourself the mark of the beast, or were saying that you wanted the mark of the beast (though you don't say why you did what you did), or were testing God in some fashion?

To ease your mind you might you might go back to the store and pay for the box that you ripped the bar code from, unless you happen to have been carrying tape and put it back on? Maybe? I didn't think go. Apologize, tell them even though they probably would classify it as a write-off, and things like that happen even as they unload the food items to shelves. If you tell them that it's because you really feel bad about which most people wouldn't. Just tell them you'll feel better. Also, that you're a Christian. Which of cause will explain a lot to them, since most folks think we're crazy anyway! Just remember you want to ease your mind. I don't think it's the sin, but it's Eschatology - Study of End Time Events working on you.

End time events are interesting to get involved in as a study, but can get you going around in circles and you don't want that. Live for today. Grow in His word so that you can spread the Gospel, and hopefully, keep some of the many from Eternal Hell. Put your focus on Heaven since you're a Born Again Believer, that's where you'll be going.............until then feel free to ask any questions....things like this that are on your mind and you're having issues with. Though, I'd probably move those over to the "Counseling" section or the "Bible Studies" part.

Hope I was able to help a little.

Since you said it, I will agree that this was a stupid and pointless act.
In that regard, God forgives stupid acts as readily as he does sin, you must forget it and move on.
I would encourage you to stop doing silly things. I could put a thousand barcodes on my forward and think it mighty silly but never consider it an affront to God, just stupid, as you say!
Aside from the silliness, I would consider it an issue why you thought God would not forgive you for it. Sounds like your faith is not where it needs to be. Here is a reason why: In Jesus you don't find forgiveness, in Jesus you are forgiven. There is a difference and you should know this! If you don't, maybe this is what you need to be discussing!

Thanks for your reply.

The bar code I held to my forehead was from an item I had already purchased and it was in my own home. I don't really know why I did it, I just know and knew before I did it that I shouldn't do it

 

[RJ]

I would like to begin by saying that Jesus does forgive us of anything we seek forgiveness

I just want to know if Jesus has forgiven me and forgets about this stupid act?

Conflicting statements!

 

[rag4aCrown]

GoodbyeSin;
greetings in the Lord Jesus;
replying to the OP; it appears that you tried to mock God and as you were God convicted your heart for doing so; or you would not have known you were doing wrong. Amen. God chastens those He loves. You got a spanking from the Lord and your heart is greiving because of it. You are witnessing your punishment for the mockery (sin), which created separation from God. God forgives you, and eventually you will forgive yourself. You have caused youself to be cast into spiritual prison. You are being tried by the Fire. The is a great battle ahead of you; hang on, dont let go of Him. The devil will continue to try to create doubt, he wants you to quit. DON'T QUIT. The devil is a liar, a cheat and a theif. Stay in the Word, read, read, read. Pray with the Word. When you come across a part where they pray, you pray what they pray. Amen. You will shed tears for your actions, I assure you. God is cleansing and purging you. The Lord has shown you mercy by convicting your heart. He also forgives you. Amen
All praise, glory and honor be to God. Amen

I would like to begin by saying that Jesus does forgive us of anything we seek forgiveness for and repent of, but he will NOT forgive blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, nor will he forgive anybody who receives the mark of the beast, any such people will go to eternal hell with no exceptions whatsoever.

I realize some people teach there are some sins Jesus didn't die for and some he can't forgive, but this is untrue. There is no sin Christ cannot forgive.
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" 1 Cor 15:3 (KJV)
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 (KJV)
There are just too many scriptures which say otherwise, that Christ can forgive and cleanse any sin. You misunderstand about the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit and taking the mark of the beast. Christ can forgive any sin, but some sins men are held to account for in this life: God does not wink at them and let them go till the Day of Judgment. Such is the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. One must immediately repent of this horrible sin or face the imminent judgment of God. God will forgive, but repentance is always required.
When God pours out his judgments in the very last days, he is still wanting men to repent of their blasphemes and wicked deeds, including taking the mark, but a Christian who takes that mark must deny the Lord Jesus and turn publicly from the faith....this is not a light sin.

 

[RJ]

but a Christian who takes that mark must deny the Lord Jesus and turn publicly from the faith....this is not a light sin.

I see a few things here:

• Any sin is forgivable, except one!
  
• Being saved means receiving the Spirit of God in you
• If you deny Jesus Christ and thus God's free gift of grace, you do not receive the Holy Spirit in you, thus you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit , a sin that God can / will not forgive.
• I personally don't think a true , Born Again, Christian could deny Jesus Christ and turn from the faith....could you?

RJ - can you expand on this? Are you saying that if someone did deny Jesus Christ, and then at some point after that realized their mistake and repented and accepted Jesus, that God would turn away him or her?

You have said something that goes against other scripture, saying there is an unforgivable sin. Jesus did not say this sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven. Here are his words:
"28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: (being in danger of is not the same as receiving eternal damnation - there is hope of escape) 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit." Mark 3:28-30 (KJV) He says, "All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men." Does this mean that all sins that all men ever commit will be forgiven? No, it certainly does not, because men must repent and turn to the Lord to find pardon for their sins and we know by what Jesus said, "Few there be that find it" (eternal life). Jesus is talking about God's temporal forgiveness toward men where he does not bring immediate judgment upon them. In this regard, God forgives all sins of men, not bringing his judgment upon them in this life. But he makes one exception: the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. When it comes to this particular sin, he brings quick judgment upon such souls. This is a temporal judgment in this life. An example would be Annanias and his wife who lied to the Holy Ghost and were immediately killed or judged by the Lord. But even this horrible sin Christ died for and can forgive, if men repent and plea for mercy. There is nothing too hard for the Lord.

In your last statement you ask if I think a born again Christian could deny Jesus and turn from the faith. The Bible says they can and thus there are many, many warnings for Christians to beware. One of the greatest concerns is false prophets and all the apostles and Christ warn of them and explain much about what they are like. Believing heresy can make the grace of Christ in your life of no effect, Paul tells us. In other words, believing lies about Jesus, which is what false prophets teach, will indeed cause you to deny the Lord and fall from the faith.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Gal 5:4 (KJV)
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of." 2 Peter 2:1-2 (KJV)
"For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire." 2 Peter 2:18-22 (NKJV)

 

[RJ]

You have said something that goes against other scripture, saying there is an unforgivable sin. Jesus did not say this sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven

• Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin."
• And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven (Luke 12:10).
  
• Each of these references to the statement made by Jesus verifies that Jesus did clearly state that there is a specific sin that “will not be forgiven.”
  
• So much for truth!

 

[RJ]

RJ - can you expand on this? Are you saying that if someone did deny Jesus Christ, and then at some point after that realized their mistake and repented and accepted Jesus, that God would turn away him or her?

• Not quite sure how you come up with this, but NO I am not, that completely goes against the gospel.
• And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven, Luke 12:10 and Mark 3:29 . Each of these references to the statement made by Jesus verifies that Jesus did clearly state that there is a specific sin that “will not be forgiven.”
• Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit simply means that you are a person who, in the end, have rejected Jesus Christ. In other words, you die unsaved and with out the Holy Spirit in you. Anytime prior to your physical death you can repentant , accept Jesus and be saved!

I came up with it because you said it -

• "If you deny Jesus Christ and thus God's free gift of grace, you do not receive the Holy Spirit in you, thus you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit , a sin that God can / will not forgive."

Even your last two bullet points above conflict. In the second one you quote that "...to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven", but in your last bullet you state "Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit simply means that you are a person who, in the end, have rejected Jesus Christ." and as long as you repent before your physical death you will be saved. This is very confusing to me. You say that blaspheme of the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. You say that blaspheme of the Holy Spirit simply means rejecting Jesus Christ. You say that if you repent of that any time prior to your physical death and accept Jesus you will be saved. It can't be both. Either it's unforgivable or it's not.

I am not attacking you or trying to debate. I am asking honest questions because I would really like to know the answer. On one hand hand you seem to say it's forgivable and on the other hand you say it's not. If it is not forgivable and someone thinks they may have blasphemed the Holy Spirit in the past, then there is no reason for them to seek Christ from this point on; they are doomed to eternal hell. Even if they want to, repenting and bowing to Christ and asking for forgiveness is hopeless, so they may just as well wallow in the darkness and let their flesh enjoy the ways of the world. I don't want to believe that is true. What about people that had been atheists or even Satanists?? Certainly someone worshiping Satan will have committed blasphemy. Can they not repent and come to Christ and be forgiven?

I am sorry that you are confused with this. but there is no conflict or contradiction here.
Let me try and explain each verse and see if I can ease your confusion:

• Luke 2:12 And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven... some translations say that: " every matter of sin can be forgiven" including rejecting Jesus or God. How is it forgiven? Well, anytime before you die and you repent, accept Jesus work and come to God (believe), you will be saved
• Mark 3:29 And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven JohnP, look at this way, it is kind of a play on the word Blaspheme :

1. You die a believer, having accepted Jesus / God and receive the Holy Spirit inside you....i.e., you have not rejected or Blasphemed the Holy Spirit! Remember, as a believer, you have the Holy SPIRIT inside you! -or-
2. You die a non-believer, having NOT accepted Jesus / God and have NOT received the Holy Spirit in you...i.e., you have rejected or Blasphemed the Holy Spirit.
3. A believer = a person who has NOT rejected or Blasphemed the Holy Spirit. If you die in this condition, you will go to Heaven.
4. A non-believer = a person who HAS rejected or Blasphemed the Holy Spirit....if you die in this condition, like an Atheist, you will die spiritually and you go to Hell and not Heaven.

I am sorry, I don't know how to explain it any better! But, if need be, I will try again.....God Bless!

I think I know what you are saying - If you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit and die in that condition you will go to Hell. If you repent and accept Christ before you die, you're forgiven. That aligns to what I believe. Thank you for clarifying.

 

[RJ]

If you repent and accept Christ before you die, you're forgiven. That aligns to what I believe. Thank you for clarifying.

Yes, you understand. But to be more precise, the finished work on the cross is what allows you to be forgiven. " He died once for all"! Once you repent and accept Christ as your Savior, you receive his forgiveness and are saved by receiving the Holy Spirit in you..." a deposit by God for future hope"! God Bless
