If you chose to isolate and disregard my positions, citations and questions, then it will quickly become obvious you are agenda driven, and not a truth seeking teacher of the word.

Let’s move on from this thin defense shall we before it is too late, and without the provocation lest they see that your only too anxious to burn this bridge and not just avoid the truth you’re having difficulty accepting.

If I am the one in need of correction, then the patience of your last post will show us the fruit of the Spirit in the next. For He is also the God of all justice.

God bless you for it.

“Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. “Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.



This passage is the only point of contention that you make that appears to raise a concern because Jesus references the age to come, as well.

It may help to note that this reference is only found in the Book of Matthew, which was written by the Jew Levi, and written, ostensibly, for the Jews. It's the most "Jewish" of the Gospel accounts.

Recognizing that, one clear point to address this is that the cross was firmly placed between two covenants: The Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant.

It may well be Jesus was simply warning those who were attributing to the devil what He was doing, because of the mandate which Israel insisted upon in their hearts that Messiah would prove Himself with signs and wonders, they would completely be disqualified from salvation after the cross, even though it would still take 40 more years before Jerusalem's destruction in 70AD.

In other words, those who spoke out against His works would be stuck in their condemnation after the cross, even though other Jews, who did not commit this sin, would come to know the Lord before the destruction of Jerusalem.

i hope its ok for me to ask questions

Of course, ask away -- everyone here is very, very happy to answer them.

when Jesus died on the cross he died for our sins was that all sins

Yes, for all sins.

or is there an unpardonable sin ?

I wish I had $1 for every time that question has been asked here. Matthew 12:31-32 indicates that there is an "unforgivable sin," but is a little hazy on what it is. The consensus is that if you're worried about it, then you haven't done it -- that the "unforgivable sin" involves such a serious and self-aware rebellion against God that the person doing it has moved past the possibility of repentance.
