Do many Christians believe anyone can commit a unforgivable sin

[JohnB445]

I have heard from ministers that this cannot be done today.

That in order to commit the unforgivable sin, Jesus must be physically present in front of you. And that you would probably have to do it deliberately and knowing what your doing.

I have heard that there is no unforgivable sin, and that even cult leaders who led others astray and even knew what they were doing can repent and be saved.

But what about those who purposely tried to change the Bible? What about those who society would consider monsters and the worst of the worst and are not forgiven by society.

Can someone like Hitler, or the worse person you can think of be saved?

Doesn't God have a line that cannot be crossed?

Thats the point of Christianity. That you can repent and be saved, because your death penalty was taken on by Christ.

The line that cannot be crossed is staying in the state of unrepentance.

 

[IoanC]

Isn't the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit? In other words, if you reject or modify The Divine Will which is being worked by The Holy Spirit, you are in danger of committing the unforgivable sin.

"Being in danger of committing the unforgivable sin" is against the teaching of the New testament (for example 1J 1:9) and it would produce fear, anxiety and depression, because of its ambiguity. Which is the opposite to peace and joy the apostolic Christianity brings.

Peace an joy without truth and justice doesn't quite work. God can produce fear and anxiety. They are ways to correct your behaviour. God is too great a reality, such that it is impossible to sin and not fear God as a result.

If something is unforgivable, then there is no way to correct it, thats the point of being unforgivable.

And this is not compatible with peace and joy of Christianity, its compatible with fear, anxiety and depression, only.

I don't think satan feared going rebel.

 

[IoanC]

I don't think satan feared going rebel.

No, he didn't. But it's only a matter of time until he realises his wrongs and he might indeed begin to experience fear for the first time. But there is no way back for him. He completely isolated himself from God. God did not send him away nor hated him. Unbelievably, it is satan's invention that he went farther than can be forgiven. It is a very clear and deliberate ideology he has invented. There is no room for interpretation and ambiguity. That is why hell and the unforgivable sin are not very impressive subjects because those who have invented them for themselves are very serious and pleased about their choices.

So it's possible to sin and not fear God.

And this is not compatible with peace and joy of Christianity, its compatible with fear, anxiety and depression, only.

If something is unforgivable, then someone has clearly gone way too far, knowingly, such that there is no excuse, nor doubt that they love sin more than virtue.

 

[IoanC]

It is possible, but it won't last forever. God may defend you from the consequences of your sin, but if there is no repentance forever and beyond, God can no longer defend you.

In order for someone to commit the “unforgivable sin,” that person would need to see or hear about a miraculous act of God. Then contribute it to something else.

The unforgivable sin is hardening your heart to God’s Truth. When one does, the Spirit has nothing to work with 1 John 5:6 Matthew 12:31 Hebrews 10:26 2 Thes 2:10-13. Sin against the Spirit is the unforgivable sin meaning when one has grieved away God’s Spirit of Truth.

John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The unforgivable sin is hardening your heart to God’s Truth. When one does, the Spirit has nothing to work with, 1 John 5:6
Matthew 12:31 Hebrews 10:26 2 Thessalonians 2:10

The Pharisees hearts were harden thus why they mentioned Jesus was a demon driving out demons. the statement of unforgivable sin is in direct connection to what they said a unforgivable sin.

Its not useful in any way to tell a person "you cannot be forgiven, bye". Therefore it must be a wrong doctrine. Christianity wants people to change, not to throw them away.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

Matthew 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

I suggest a prayerfully study on Truth in your bible

The unforgivable sin is sinning until death which translates to someone who does not repent from unbelief. In other words, there is no forgivness available or can any prayers be offered for forgiveness for the unbelieving dead. These are people who reject the Holy Spirit while alive. Rejecting His Holy Spirit is blasphemous against Him.

There is no or no one can commit an unforgivable sin. The nation of Israel did, when they rejected Jesus as the promised messiah based on the miracles Jesus did. Saying Jesus did miracles these by the power of a demon.

That's one understanding however common sense tells us anyone who rejects the Holy Spirit has also committed the unforgivable sin if they die in the state of unbelief.
"Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come” Jesus Christ of Nazareth

I suggest you stay within the context of your Bible. there's truth in context of why the statement was made. No need to go searching for another answer that has already been given in the context.
