I too have a question if you don't mind.
Where in the Bible does it mention what will not be forgiven? And, what is it?

Boy am I glad this question came up. In Matthew 13:31, Jesus said "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."
The reason I'm so excited about this is because, in my opinion, blasphemy against God is the one sin that cannot be forgiven because it is the one sin that cannot be committed.
Blasphemy means to speak ill of someone when one knows the truth about the one being spoken against.
Therefore, to speak ill of God (Holy Ghost) when one knows the truth about God is an impossibility. Because, to know God is to love God. When a man speaks ill of God, it is proof that the speaker does not know God. Therefore, blasphemy does not apply. The guy's too ignorant of God to blaspheme against Him.
Therefore, to someone who speaks ill of God, I would not say to him that he blasphemes, I'd just say to him that he's ignorant.

That is very interesting thank you.
I looked up the definition of the word blasphemy and got:
blas·phe·my [blásf?mee] (plural blas·phe·mies) noun
1. disrespect for religion: disrespect for God or sacred things
2. something showing disrespect for religion: something done or said that shows disrespect for God or sacred things

This is how I got it, Aaron: A sin is a conscious and deliberate act to cause harm. That's what I've discovered is the succinct way of putting the definition of 'sin' from my research. One cannot sin if one is unaware. This statement is upheld by the Catholic Church herself in her stand regarding those who are unaware of the doctrine of Christianity.
If blasphemy is a sin, then it must be that the person who commits blasphemy knows the truth and is speaking ill of a person when he KNOWS that what he's saying is not the truth, and intends to cause harm to the person of whom he speaks.
When a person knows God, in my opinion, based on what I've learned about God, it's an impossibility to try to cause harm to God when one knows the truth about God. Therefore, the folks who go around speaking ill of God don't know Him and are not aware of the implications of what they're doing.

Thanks, Aaron.
Eye-opener, isn't it, when one takes the time to sloooooowwww down to reflect on what something means?
Sure helps.
Can you imagine how many people are out there in the world, doing their very best to be good, and fearing to the point of tribulation that they cannot be good because they may be sinning and not knowing it?
Goofy!!
