The true meaning of the unforgivable sin

[lastsecman]

The unforgivable sin is related to totally rejecting God, not something that can be 'committed' (putted an effort into doing) so easily by a true believer in God.

Man, It is beyond me how any person could praise anyone but God after feeling the power of the holy spirit or being baptized by Him. When a person commits a sin they shouldn't even try to hide it, but rather call out to the Lord and share it openly with Him, repenting, and praying that He helps them to overcome sin in the future. Call out to the Lord and He will come.

If you see any brother commit a sin unto death........Latter on in the chapter John tells us to stay away from idols..... Good insight.I find it interesting that there are many that say tongues have passed away, Healing has been passed away, this was for that time only, and this time only. Making the Power of the Holy Ghost out to be about zero............Lots of knowledge, no power..........God is no respecter of persons. If he did it from someone in the bible, He will do it for you. Jesus has never changed.Jesus Is Lord.

There are plenty of people out there who choose other gods because they condone their sin. Even changing the word of God is following after other gods. There are plenty of people out their who want to change the word of God to fit their perverted definition of love.

True, but that's still not THE unforgivable sin.

Unless you change the words of God in the book of Revelations in writing, then your name would get blotted out of the Book of Life

That's not THE unforgiveable sin either. No one can not do this sin at all yet.It won't happen til in the future.

Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. You can do this sin. God warned them not to do it in the old Testament, and again we see the warning in the new Testament. Adding things to the bible like the Apostles have been done away with, or The Bible teaches that there is no hell is adding or taking away things from the word. People that call themselves Pastors are doing these things today. This sin is very dangerous because there are those that distort and teach wrongly the Word of God today. That was the devils first trick, distorting what God Told Adam and Eve. "Surly God did not say you would die?......"There is no mention of someone doing this and not being able to be forgiven though. So this would be forgivable if someone changed and repented for misleading the people. Jesus Is Lord.

Yes God told them not to add or take away His Word, so that sin is forgiveable. No one on Earth yet, can commit THE unforgiveable sin, because it is not that time yet. When it comes to that time, it's only in the future.P.S. Only the Elects can commit this sin.

When your heart turns to God would He abandon you?Only when you totally reject God would He abandon you.So the unforgivable sin is related to totally rejecting God, not something that can be 'committed' (putted an effort into doing) so easily by a true believer in God.

That's it!!!It took faith to and an act of will to get born again, it is going to take faith and an act of will to reject all the Holy Ghost had for you, and that you no longer want Jesus. This only counts once you have come to the knowledge of the truth of what your really giving up.Good thread.Jesus Is Lord.

That is not the unforgiveable sin. Bible says ALL sins are forgiveable... In fact it is impossible to commit this sin in present time.The unforgiveable sin is...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.Matthew 12:32 - And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come....Mark 3:28 - Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:Mark 3:29 - But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation....Luke 12:10 - And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven....When is THAT time coming? In the future.(lastsecman;64378)
When your heart turns to God would He abandon you?Only when you totally reject God would He abandon you.So the unforgivable sin is related to totally rejecting God, not something that can be 'committed' (putted an effort into doing) so easily by a true believer in God.
Hebrews 13:5 -Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.For this time being, the unforgivable sin is impossible to commit in today's and past days. It only comes in the future. And only the Elects can commit this sin.

What is the unpardonable sin and how can I be certain that I have not committed it?It is sobering to realize that the One who introduced the subject of a sin that can never be pardoned is the only Person in the world who is capable of forgiving sin — our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of all men.In Matthew 12:31,32, the Lord Jesus declared that "blasphemy or speaking profanely against the Holy Spirit" is the sin for which there was neither forgiveness in this world or the world to come. Thus, whoever is guilty of committing such a sin is "subject to eternal condemnation" (Mark 3:29, NKJV).It is vital that we understand the role of the Holy Spirit in God’s plan of salvation in order to grasp the Savior’s meaning of how one sins against the Holy Spirit. Only through the ministry of the Holy Spirit can a person know conviction of sin (John 16:8), be drawn to God (John 6:44; Revelation 22:17), and receive a revelation of the saving work of the cross of Christ (1 Corinthians 1:18; 2:14).Those who deliberately reject the only means by which God’s grace is mediated to lost sinners remove themselves from the only source of pardon provided by divine mercy. When Christ is willfully rejected, the Scripture states, "There no longer remains a sacrifice for sins" (Hebrews 10:26). Such a sin is called unpardonable because the basis for pardon has been rejected.Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is described as "insulting the Spirit of grace" (Hebrews 10:29). For when a person with full understanding of what he or she is doing "tramples the Son of God underfoot, and counts the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing," the Holy Spirit is denied the opportunity to administer the grace and pardon of Christ.Regarding the unpardonable sin, J. Oswald Sanders wrote in his Bible Studies in Matthew’s Gospel: "These things should be noted: (1) It is a calculated sin, not one of impulse. (2) It is a sin of knowledge, not ignorance, but a sin against spiritual knowledge and light (Hebrews 10:26,32). (3) It is not an isolated act but a habitual attitude. (4) It is a sin of the heart, not merely of the intellect or the tongue. (5) It is a sin of finality — complete rejection of Christ." The harsh term "blasphemy" indicates a deliberate and godless rejection of the saving power and grace of God.Unfortunately, the devil has led some people to believe they have committed the unpardonable sin. People who are fearful they have committed such a sin would do well to heed the words of William Barclay: "The person who cannot have committed the sin against the Holy Spirit is the person who fears he/she has, for the sin against the Holy Spirit can be truly described as the loss of all sense of sin" (The Gospel of Matthew, Volume 2, p.50). The capacity to have concern regarding whether or not one has committed the unpardonable sin is a certain indicator the person has not done so.1 Corinthians 3:16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Note 7 at 1 Cor. 3:16: One of the greatest differences between the New Testament believer and the Old Testament believer is the fact that New Testament saints are the temple of God. God Himself actually indwells us. In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God would come upon men and anoint them for service. He even came within Old Testament prophets to inspire them to write the scriptures, but this was temporary. In the New Testament, the Lord indwells us through the new birth and we become His permanent abode (see note 26 at Jn. 14:16, p.491). During the days of the Old Testament, man made God an elaborate temple in Jerusalem and God said He would cause His name to dwell there so that men could pray to Him in that place (2 Chr. 7:12-16). But now, in the days of the New Testament, God does not dwell in a building made by man's hands. He now lives in the hearts of those who make Jesus their Lord (Rom. 10:9). This is why there is no need for fancy buildings for the New Testament church to meet in. The building is no longer the temple of God. The believer's spirit has become the temple of God. However, the New Testament is clear that Christ, by the Holy Spirit takes up permanent residence in all believers If we had a real revelation of the reality of Christ in us (Col. 1:27), it would drastically change our attitudes, emotions, and actions. This is not speaking of God totally damning someone who defiles the temple of God. However, no degree of punishment from God is desirable and therefore, this is a very stern warning to those who would defile the body of Christ through their wrong teaching. Therefore, Paul's teaching here about defiling the temple of God is speaking specifically to an individual about doing something to defile himself, and it is rather a warning against anyone defiling the church with wrong teaching. This would include Paul and Apollos (1 Cor. 3:5-6), but it also would refer back to those individuals who Paul rebuked in the first chapter for causing division in the body at Corinth. This is a warning, especially to ministers, that they had better make sure they are speaking God's Word for they will have to give an account to God.
