The unforgivable sin

[Hello]

HelloI wondered is the unforgivable sin a one off sin?If somebody attibutes works of The Holy Spirit to the devil have they commited it or do they have to do it more than once?If somebody says it can they repent of it' or if they write it down say in a letter to someone or something if they destroy the letter and repent can they be forgiven?Also does it have to be done deliberately with intent?Thankyou

There is only one sin so-to-speak that sends one to hell. That's not being covered by the blood because it was rejected. There's a point where a person rejects the Spirit so often that God just gives up on them and let's them have their own way. The act of calling Jesus Satan is just the outward sign that there is something terribly wrong with that person's spiritual life.Such a person never ever wants to come to God again, as their heart is hardened as the scripture says. If anyone ever worried about committing that sin, then it is a sure sign they didn't! A callous person would not care.

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.

Good post, Jordan! That is definitely true. I think a lot of people worry needlessly about this sin when they should just be thankful they have the Lord NOW while this is yet the Day of Salvation. I hope this person does not go to a church that instills this kind of needless fear.

Hi Hello..let me see if I can explain..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.This is repeated twice for emphasis If we look closely at the verses here they are sort of two sections and on the surface theyseem to be almost contradictory read the parts I put in green above. It clearly says ALL forms of blasphemy will be forgiven men .....ALL Forms ALL men will be forgivenSo what is this second part that says one is not only unforgiven but will never in the world or the next ever be forgiven ... That is the same sentence that was given Satan how can this be that if someone blasphemies the Holy spirit they receive the same sentence as Satan.... that's as bad as you can get... this is very serious in Gods eyesand he said it twice to make sure it was heard... Everyone saved has the Christ spirit in them yet every man is forgiven all form of Blasphemy. So what are we talking about?? Lets set a little foundation here first... lets understand this is a future event ..Second..No man has yet ever been judged not the Pharisees or Sadducee's not Judas no one and they wont be until the Great white throne Judgement which is after the millennium So what does blasphemy against the Holy Ghost/spirit meanWhen are we told of the Holy Ghost/Spirit coming on to men in an important event??The answer is on Pentecost Day.Acts tells of this Holy Ghost and what it is and what happens when it comes on you Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 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. This was a great miracle and it only happens twice in the Word of God regardless of men say this only happens two times in scripture once on Pentecost day and once in Mark 13:11Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. So this verse places us in the latter days because first the Gospel had to preached around the World this is our time setting 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 a time in the future when the Elect are called up put on trial before Antichrist(Satan) do not premeditate what you will say the Holy Ghost will speak through you if you deny this with full knowledge of what you are doing to save your physical life you will lose it as you have Blasphemed the Holy Spirit/ Ghost. This is the unforgivable sin it can only be committed once and only by the Elect (called up ones) (For an better understanding one might think of this sin as something that would be equivalent/compared to ..IF.. the Apostles themselves had commited blasphemy against Christ after they were given full knowledge on Pentecost Day)PS I know some are just plain going to disagree that's fine, But please if you want to debate me, dont reply unless you have scripture to back you up, Not just with opinions.We've heard them all before, you cant disprove scripture with opinions

Great post Christina. So far it only happened once. A much better post than mine, but we still agree.

Well you gave the scripture I gave the explanation but yes we agree:)
