How far should forgiveness go?

[Believer-in-Christ]

Is there a point where God just cannot forgive?

 

[coyoteBR]

Well, His Commandment is for us to forgive always... that's a demanding goal for our startarts... but I imagine God, in His Endless Justice, Fairness and Goodness, Would not find anything unforgiven.

 

[QuePasa]

The eternal sin, rejecting the Holy Spirit, is unforgiveable.

 

[Madcoil]

Nah, he'll forgive that too. Just you wait and see. I know, I know, rain of fire and eternal whatnot, but underneath all that hellfire brimstone macho let's turn them into clay and drop the sky on their city, he's a bit of an old softy.

I'm not sure if it's rejecting but instead blasphemy. Not trying to be a pain.

Christ does say something about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost...

 

[Onesiphorus]

I wouldn't limit Him. There's not a whole lot He can not do.

But I'll leave that up to him to decide what that is.

I have researched the unpardonable sin and that is "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit"...many people have been afraid that they have committed this sin (including myself)...I never said anything bad, but I had unwanted bad thoughts about the Holy spirit pop up into my head after reading that (physcological)..many people have that happen and I really beat myself up over it, but the fact of the matter is, Billy Graham and many other well known ministers have researched this, while the EXACT interpretation is debateable. The only unforgiveable sin is basically forever rejecting Christ and not having faith in him. Christ will never turn anyone away who comes to him, no matter what they have done. =)

romans 5:20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

mark 3:29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

But the question is, how do you blapheme against the Holy Spirit? I know, the first time I read this verse I was afraid that I had committed that sin. But the fact it, we blaspheme against the Holy Spirit by the way we live. By not accepting Christ. If we live a life not in christ, we will not recieve the Spirit, and we will not be forgiven... (because of this sin)
God bless!

 

[Soc12]

God will always forgive, but only when the person being forgiven is truely sorry.

There is only one unpardonable sin and it breaks down to ending life without accepting Jesus.
