A:
The second commandment is first of all not to make carved images or any likeness of anything, and secondly not to worship that image. Whenever we take a photograph, paint a picture or erect a statue of a person or any living thing we are breaking the first part of the second commandment. Because of this, the Jews fiercely resisted any image being shown in Jerusalem, during the post-Exilic period and at the time of Jesus. Were we to worship any image we have, perhaps even a statue of Jesus, we would break the second part of this commandment. Blasphemy is not really prohibited by the second commandment.

Of course, this is merely a technicality. If you are a Christian, you know that to blaspheme is a sin. If you are not a Christian, you are not bound by the Ten Commandments, but you do know that what a Christian would consider blasphemy is insensitive.

Can You Commit The Unforgivable Sin?

A:The gospels say that only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgiveable. Why this should be so is not stated, since blasphemy even against Jesus is said to be forgiveable. Nor does it say what constitutes blasphemy against the Holy Spirit or how it is possible to blaspheme against him. It sounds good to have an 'unpardonable sin' but it may actually be a sin that is not possible to commit.

Can one reject or blasphemy against the Holy Ghost then ask for forgiveness and want it back into their lives and be forgiven?

This is what Jesus told us about the unpardonable sin in the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 12:31-32, " Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come". I would say this is fairly clear. Be careful.
