Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I was told it is actually sins against the holy spirit and they are sins against the body. Promiscurity, masterbation, rape, homosexuailty etc. All sexual sins. Scripture tells us that the body is a temple of the holy spirit, hence why a sin against the body becomes a sin against the holy spirit, and not all sins fall into this class of sinning against the body. Is everything i have said correct? Onward christian souls. P.s. incase the replyer doesn't add, for those who don't know the chatechism states to be condemned we have to be unrepentent of this particular sin till we die.

cappie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Through its Catechism, the Catholic Church teaches that: "'Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgivness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.' [Mk. 3:29; Mt. 12:32; Lk. 12:10] There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. [John Paul II, DeV 46] Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss." There are six sins that offend the Holy Spirit. These are: (1) Despair, "By despair, man ceases to hope for his personal salvation from God, for help in attaining it or for the forgiveness of his sins. Despair is contrary to God's goodness, to his justice - for the Lord is faithful to his promises - and to his mercy." (C.C.C. # 2091) (2) Presumption of God's mercy, "There are two kinds of presumption. Either man presumes upon his own capacities, (hoping to be able to save himself without help from on high), or he presumes upon God's almighty power or his mercy (hoping to obtain his forgiveness without conversion and glory without merit)." (C.C.C. # 2092) (3) Impugning the known truth, (Clarification: To "impugn" the known truth means to attack it by word or argument, to resist it, to contradict it, or even to oppose the known truth or to challenge it as false.) (4) Envy the spiritual good of another, (Clarification: Regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians states, "All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually as the Spirit chooses." To envy the spiritual good of another is to question the Divine judgment of the Holy Spirit in His distribution of spiritual gifts. It is to be jealous of another person who has a gift different than one's own gift. Through envy, one rejects the gift that he has received from the Holy Spirit, determining in his own mind that the gift he has received is not good enough for him and he wants someone else's gift.) (5) Obstinacy in sin, (Clarification: To be "obstinate" means to resist the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, to be stubborn, to persist in sin, to be unyielding.) (6) Final impenitence. (Clarification: "Impenitence" means to be uncontrite, unrepentant, hardened, unconverted, to be without regret, shame or remorse.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
