matthew 1231 and so i tell you every sin and every blasphemy will be forgiven men but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven32 any one 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
To quote matthew 12:31-32 is saying that not all sins are forgivable.Doesn't that go against what Jesus said when he stated that all who ask will be forgiven? And everything we've been taught, that if we sin, and we admit that sin, and repent, we will be forgiven of that sin?

It can only be committed by God's Elects. This can only be done once. God's Elect will be on trial when the Anti-Christ (Satan) comes and claim to be Christ and spake as a dragon and he will speak deceitful things.Jag

So what do you mean God's Elects? or, who do you mean by God's Elects.

There are two other verses which also mention a unforgivable sins. "For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame," (Heb. 6:4-6) "For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries," (Heb. 10:26-27). In the case of Heb. 6:6, repentance is an impossibility with those who have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit and then have fallen away. If this repentance is impossible, then so is forgiveness. Likewise, in Heb. 10:26, "if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins." The universalists want to have the sacrifice of Jesus cover, pay for, and remove the penalty of all people's sins who have ever lived. But, according to this verse, there is a point when the sacrifice of Jesus is no longer available to a person. Conclusion Therefore, the teaching that everyone will eventually be saved cannot be true. * This age and the to come are two over-arching categories that divide human existence. * Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in the age to come. * At the end of this age, "the age to come" begins and it has no end. * Heb. 6:6 and Heb. 10:26 also show us that there are conditions of non-forgiveness.
But I have a question?What if a person would realize his mistake. If he knew the truth, and chose to do bad, or to sin, and then realized this, and repented, and did his best to curb temptation, is there no salvation for him?If we are saying that, then Jesus' claims are contradicted? or Jesus' claims contradict. Either or.

You are correct -it sounds like a contradiction: how could it be that God will ALWAYS forgive the repentant sinner, and yet He talks of a sin that is unforgivable? I think the only explanation is that someone who sins against the Holy Spirit would never repent. Obviously since God is all knowing, everything in advance, He knew this to be true.

I believe that the unforgivable sin, blasphemy of the holy spirit, is to reject Christ, If you reject our Redeemer how can you be redeemed?If you don't believe Jesus paid the price for our sins, then you are still in your sin, unforgivenheb 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
In the case of Heb. 6:6, repentance is an impossibility with those who have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit and then have fallen away. If this repentance is impossible, then so is forgiveness.Likewise, in Heb. 10:26, "if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins." The universalists want to have the sacrifice of Jesus cover, pay for, and remove the penalty of all people's sins who have ever lived. But, according to this verse, there is a point when the sacrifice of Jesus is no longer available to a person.
This is knowing Christ and turning from him, its the same sin, rejecting Jesus. This I believe to be the unforgivable sin

To quote matthew 12:31-32 is saying that not all sins are forgivable.Doesn't that go against what Jesus said when he stated that all who ask will be forgiven? And everything we've been taught, that if we sin, and we admit that sin, and repent, we will be forgiven of that sin?
Matthew 12:31 "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."Jesus is telling you that all manner of sin is forgivable, except the sin committed by elect of God when he refuses to allow the Holy Spirit of God to speak through him when he is delivered up in the time of the end. This sin is spoken of in Mark 13:11; "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought before hand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.".Matthew 12:32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."You can call Jesus Christ what ever you want to, and even deny Christ before men, and upon repentance that act of sin will be forgiven of you. When the Holy Spirit of God wishes to use you, Jesus is warning you against not allowing Him to use your mouth, for He will do the thinking, and do the premeditating for you. When Christ healed the blind and dumb man, he both saw Christ, and spoke of Him. He spoke of the good news that Christ brought to him. This denying of the Holy Spirit then, is the unforgivable sin that only God's elect can commit. Now lets look at the verses in Hebrews,and they are not unforgivable sin versesHebrews 6:1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,"Therefore when you fall back into the teachings of milk, milk and more milk in Word, you leave the foundation that we are to be in. We are to strive to bring ourselves to perfection, and this word "perfection" means "maturity" and it does not mean being perfect. In the flesh body you will never reach perfection, but you can come to full age of maturity with the discernment of the Word of God. Paul is asking, do you have to have repentance taught to you every week? Can't you get it through to your mind that when you sin, and you know you have sinned, then you repent? The "foundation" is the constant reminder to "be saved", and it is drilled over and over. Faith becomes dead works when people do not obey Christ and seek to go deeper into the Word of God. Paul is about to tell us of a sin that God is very unhappy with in Christians lives. Hebrews 6:2 "Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."Notice here that the "doctrine of baptisms" is plural. These are the four most taught subjects in most all churches today. Paul is saying once your baptized, you are baptized so move on to something deeper. Once you have been anointed of God as a Christian, accept it as a fact, and move on to deeper things. "Resurrection of the dead", to a Christian is common knowledge and you don't have to be taught such again and again, for it is accepted as fact. We are not saying that you move to better things, for this is the foundation that you start with, but do not spend all your life studying only the milk of the Word. You know that there is an eternal judgment that judgment comes after the Millennium age, where all mankind will answer for the things they have chosen to do in their flesh life, and for the unsaved of this earth age, it will be by their works done in the Millennium age of Christ's kingdom. Hebrews 6:3 "And this will we do, if God permit."This is what we will study, and do when God opens our eyes to His truths. Hebrews 6:4 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,"We are not talking about any language here but the acceptance of Jesus Christ, when the Holy Spirit has enlightened them to the truths of God's Word. Paul is talking about the warm love of the Holy Spirit of God coming into ones life, and that person tasting of the many blessings that can only come from the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 6:5 "And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,"This is directed to those that have read and studied to know the depth of the entire Word of God. We are talking here about the plan of God from Genesis to Revelation, and to know the Word to the point that God can talk to you through that Word. This applies to very few people today, even in the ministry. These sins are not the unforgivable sin. The "powers of the world to come" is the world age that is coming very shortly, the Millennium age. If you understand that future world age when Jesus Christ will be here on earth ruling over his kingdom, then you will understand the world age that was, and the fall and destruction that came. We will all be in our incorruptible bodies, with clear minds, able to see exactly what led to the world age that we are in today. We are talking about three different world ages "cosmos" [periods of time], not different earthly bodies. Hebrews 6:6 "If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame."Do you understand what was said here? If all you teach is salvation and baptism and the entire group that you are teaching has already accepted Christ and tasted of the Word and has been saved once, then you are putting our Lord's sacrifice to shame. Then when you have some man of God get up before that group and all he teaches is salvation and baptism; that is blasphemy. If there is one person unsaved in the room then it is okay, but not when it is known that every individual has been saved, and been baptized. Why? Christ does the saving, and after one is saved, all it takes is repentance. Man will always slip in his flesh life, and he will also need repent to the Father in Jesus name after he has sinned, for we will all fall short. The freedom that we have in Christ is to be able to repent as our sins come to our attention, and not be tied to the guilt of those sins. Hebrews 10 is speaking of the same thing as Matthew,and that is blasphemy against the Holy SpiritHebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"This is the key, "if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth." How many people do you think have the knowledge of the truth? The truth is the Word of God, every last verse of it. We are talking about the unforgivable sin. That unforgivable sin is turning your back to the Spirit of God when that day approaches. When Satan is on earth and the Holy Spirit wants to speak through you when you have the full knowledge of the truth in your mind. There will be no forgiveness for your refusing to allow the Holy Spirit to use you. For that act there is no sacrifice for that sin. Very few people that call themselves Christians today have that knowledge of the full truth. In that day when Satan rules, God is going to place a stupor [or slumber] on those in ignorance, to close their minds to the truth for their own protection. However God's elect, and certain others will be sealed in their minds with the truth, and know Satan for who he is and will not be deceived. This verse is directed to those elect that have received the knowledge of the truth, and are expected to allow the Holy Spirit to use them and speak through them.Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: But whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit."This is what Paul is speaking of in Hebrews 10:26. When you accepted the body of Christ and you know what is going to happen, as it is written in His Word, the Spirit of God has given you the insight. After this if you fall off to the son of perdition, knowing who he is, there is no forgiveness. Don't get all frustrated over this, for though the ignorant will fall for Satan, those in the know the truth will know who he is, and Satan will be an abomination to us. Hebrews 10:27 "But a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries."Who is going to be devoured? "The adversaries" are going to be devoured. Satan is the adversary, as well as his fallen angels, and all them that will follow him. Therefore don't bow a knee to him, and let Christ use you to stand against Him. Some of you have a destiny and you have know that there is more to God's Word then you were taught, and you are beginning to wake up to the truth as that day of the Lord approaches. Sure each of God elect look forward to that fearful day of judgment, for that is the day of Jesus Christ return and our rewards. That is the time we shall receive not only our incorruptible bodies, but also our immortal bodies that will never stand in judgment. Paul spoke of this in I Corinthians 15:50-55, when the sting of death shall be no more. Not in the physical, nor the spiritual death of the soul, as recorded in Revelation 20:14.The "fiery indignation" that shall come is the Holy Spirit. On that day of Jesus return the Holy Spirit will warm us and give us comfort, whereas to those that took up their mark of Satan in the great tribulation [deception] it will burn them with shame. This is why the story was written of the three men in the fiery furnace in Daniel 3. It is to let you know that it doesn't matter what happens, you will be protected by the Spirit of God. If God is with you, and you are on His mission, not one hair on your head can be singed.

That is exactly the point Peacebewithyou on the surface it seems to contradictory but how can this be as there are no contradictions in Gods word. So lets look closer at this verse31 and so I tell you every sin and every blasphemy will be forgiven men What does this say in the first part ? Every sin and Every blasphemywill be forgiven so if every one will be forgiven then the second part of this verse must refer to a special sin of blasphemy committed only at a certain time.but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven32 any one who speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven This says the same type thing as the above verse All words spoken against Christ will be forgiven (if asked)but anyone who speaks against the holy spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come We see that this sin will never be forgiven even in the next age so surely this is a very serious sin as Satan himself is the only one who is already judgedSo one must be in full knowledge of the Lord (as Satan) before one could deny his spirit and receive such a penalty.When has one in scripture ever received the gift of the Holy Spirit? In the book of Acts on Pentecost Day.Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Do not take this for the false tongues some claim to speak today this was the cloven tongue of fire of God himselfa miracle so great we still honor Pentecost Day today This was understood by all. This only happened once in the past and will happen once in the future)So then this must be going to happen again a time when the Holy spirit is poured out unto true believers to prophesied to the people Gods truththis is what Jag mentioned above. Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. This is the Elect being called up and put on trial by Antichrist in front of the people They are NOT to PREMEDITATE what they will say because the Holy spirit will speak(prophesize) through them. If one of these Elect having the full knowledge of God denys the Holy spiritto speak they commit the unforgivable sin. This can only happen to those chosen at that time.

I think it is related to the Lake of Fire in Revelations,or maybe it's about a spirit imitating the works of the Holy Ghost."But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."(Revelation 21:8)"And the beast was captured, and with it the FALSE PROPHET who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur." (Revelation 19:20)

"But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.' When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it. The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him."(Acts 5:3-6)

Mightybear and lastsecman you guys are free to think what ever you want but this is what scripture says it is when the holy ghost/spirit speaks through us sense it is in the time frame of future or a continuing thing there is only one other time this happens besides Acts 2and so I tell you every sin and every blasphemy will be forgiven men the ones you guys are speaking of will be forgivenexcept one anyone who speaks against the holy spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come first we would need to know when we are doing if its unforgivable that means it isnt covered under Christs blood thats pretty serious stuff. And will only happen in the future with the full knowledge of the one doing it.Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. This is the Elect being called up and put on trial by Antichrist in front of the people They are NOT to PREMEDITATE what they will say because the Holy spirit will speak(prophesize) through them. If one of these Elect having the full knowledge of God denys the Holy spiritto speak they commit the unforgivable sin. This can only happen to those chosen at that time.

I want to point out something with the unforgivable sin. A sin has to be asked for forgiveness before forgiveness is given. NonChristians don't ask to be forgiveness because they don't believe in the forgiveness in the first place. This sin will be asked forgiveness of, but it will not be given. It will be committed by Christians.

God did not say "neither shall you touch it it, lest you die" (Genesis 3:3) Eve said that.Genesis 2:16-17 - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.There is a major difference between thou shalt surely die, And "lest you die"Eve misquote it.JagLovest ye in Christ Yahshua, Lord and Saviour of the world.

Hi ps77,
matthew 1231 and so i tell you every sin and every blasphemy will be forgiven men but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven32 any one 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 To quote matthew 12:31-32 is saying that not all sins are forgivable.Doesn't that go against what Jesus said when he stated that all who ask will be forgiven? And everything we've been taught, that if we sin, and we admit that sin, and repent, we will be forgiven of that sin?
Unless otherwise instructed, there are some sins that require judgment.Those that receive the mark of the beast cannot ask for forgiveness. Once that choice is made and have it done, I doubt they will even think twice about it to ask for forgiveness. All those that receive the mark of the beast are destined to the lake of fire.The sin against the Holy Spirit is speaking a word against the Holy Spirit. This has nothing to do with denying to speak as one is led by the Holy Spirit to speak, because it is addressing speaking a word against the Holy Spirit, not quenching the Spirit. Believers are instructed not to quench the Holy Spirit, thus it goes to show that one can quench the Holy Spirit; otherwise, why be instructed not to? Fear, pride, or anger could lead a person not to speak as the Holy Spirit lead them to speak, thus quenching the Spirit, but one can turn to the Lord Jesus for courage to speak if one is being led to speak by the Holy Spirit. It is speaking a word against the Holy Spirit that requires judgment.Now to the sin itself when Jesus said it in reference to the Pharisees that were calling good, evil as in calling the Holy Spirit being of the devil for casting out devils. They were committing the unpardonable sin, which would lead one to think that they would never accept Jesus as their Saviour. Now a person sinning could call good evil without committing the unpardonable sin, although they be sinning still; it was speaking a word against the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Triune God, that was the unpardonable sin as referencing the good works being done by the Holy Spirit in Christ as being works of the devil.1 John 5: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.So when Ananias and Sapphira lied about what they were going to give, they did it to deceive God. They did not have to give what they had proposed to give to God, but they actually thought they could lie to God from what they wanted to give from selling their property.Acts 5: 1But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. Thus the unforgiveable sin against the Holy Spirit by speaking what they would do in giving from the sell of this property and thinking they could lie to God about holding some of that price back for themselves, led them to the judgment of unto death as a sin unto death... for those that are in Christ are to be true when speaking to God as in they cannot lie to God.This sin doesn't necessarily mean judgment of hellfire, although if one has never received Christ.. they are already condemned as the Pharisees were speaking a word against the Holy Spirit in Jesus by referencing the works being done as being of the devil, but they did not immediately die, but for the believer... judgment has to come as a sin unto death, but it does not mean hellfire because of the will of the Father.John 6: 36But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day....63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.John 17: 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.Thus I am led to believe that when a believer speaks a word against the Holy Spirit, it is punishable as a sin unto death.... not unto hellfire. Any further judgment will probably be forthcoming... short of hellfire. Those that receive the mark are destined to hellfire which I would believe a believer would not receive that mark... but Judas probably would.1 Corinthians 3: 10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.....13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; 22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; 23And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.Thus Ananias and Sapphira thought they were being wised in their own eyes in lying to God in building on that faith in their relationship with Him, and thus the sin unto death.. their temple which is their body of the Holy Spirit... is destroyed as in they died. They have suffered loss through the fire of His wrath, but they are Christ's and their dead works are burned up, but they shall be saved so as through fire for Jesus shall not lose one... save the one named Judas whom was written that he did not believe anyway.I believe the Lord led me to share this through the Holy Spirit within me and so I thank Jesus for this post that we may be edified in the knowledge of Him and have peace through His Word, and yet be warned of the consequences thereof as we trust Jesus to lead us away from temptations and keep us from falling for He shall present us faultless as our hope in Him purifies us as He is pure. Jude 1:24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.1 John 3: 3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
