What is the unforgivable sin?

[tonychanyt]

There is only one unforgivable sin: A person commits it when he defiantly refuses the Holy Spirit for all time.

Numbers 15 (NIV):

30 But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD and must be cut off from the people of Israel.​

Sinning defiantly is associated with blaspheming the LORD. It is a person who hardens his heart against the LORD. It foreshadows Jesus' concept of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Some scribes were defiant despite Jesus' patience with them

1 John 1:

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.​

Admit that you have sinned, then you will be forgiven. If you don't admit it, then it is not forgiven.


Luke 12:

10 everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.​

What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit that will never be forgiven?

Matthew 12:

22 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”​

These Pharisees have hardened their hearts so much that they stubbornly attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to the evil spirit.

31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.​

Stubbornly calling the Holy Spirit evil will not be forgiven because they refused to correct themselves.

32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.​

If a person keeps calling the Holy Spirit evil, he cannot be born of the Spirit. The Spirit will not dwell in him. He cannot be born again. It is self-condemning.

Mark 3:

28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30for they were saying, “He has an **unclean** spirit.”​

They stubbornly accuse the Holy Spirit in Jesus as unclean. In general, anyone who stubbornly refused the Holy Spirit commits the unforgivable sin. He has condemned himself unless he repents.

...The unforgivable sin of Matthew 12, is a national sin that the nation of Israel, was only able to commit. It was never an individual sin committed by individual people.

...Plus the sin was only able to happen, when Jesus was present at His first advent offering The Kingdom of God to Israel.

...It was committed by the nation when they rejected Jesus as The promised Messiah on the basis of Jesus doing His miracles not by the power of God (The Holy Spirit) but by the power of demons specifically the prince of demons beelzebub.

Going to guess you know that... no one knows we only lol guess and debate, speculate as to what it is. Who was He talking to what happened just before that.. you get a clearer picture. Or you could just ask Him that lives in us that talks to us all the time
