Answer 1

according to the Bible, only one type of sin cannot be forgiven : Deliberately and repeatedly denying the Holy spirit's conviction of sin....this is the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit...

the sin of taking the Name of the Lord in vain is not the unforgivable sin.....though it is one of the commandments.....

Answer 2

LoL. All these hard, long answers. Actually its a simple answer. Read Acts 5:1-10.

It tells the story of Ananias and Sapphira, a husband and wife who had "an item" they sold and then donated the money to the local congregation, declaring that they had given all they had gotten for their fields to the congregation. The Holy Spirit then informed the Elders of the Congregation of the lie. Upon hearing from the Holy Spirit, the Elders confront Ananias about the lie and he denies the truth of the Holy Spirit, dropping dead instantly.

Later in the day, not knowing what happened to her husband, Sapphira shimmy's in and Peter asks her "so Sapphira, did you and Ananias really get this amount for the field you sold?" She answer "yes", then Peter asks her why she and her husband felt the need to test the Sprit of Jehovah when the very feet of the people who buried her husband were standing at the door? She drops dead instantly.

So this is a blasphmy against the holy spirit. Lying to the elders of the church when there is no need. God would have accepted any amount from Ananias and Sapphira and been happy with that amount, after all, it was their money and would have come from the goodness of their hearts. So why lie?

Answer 3

Jesus mentioned the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit when the Pharisees were accusing him of casting out demons by Beelzebub (the devil), there are many like Nicodemus who recognized that Jesus could only do the works he was doing because God was with him, that's why Jesus told them that the very works he does testify about who he is and in another part he says if they don't believe in him because of what he says they should believe in him because of the works they see. The Pharisees and the people of Israel knew that only the Messiah would be able to do the works that Jesus was doing (Mark 2:12), One time when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees they said to him "are you calling us blind?' he said "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." This is what he meant is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, The pharisees knew exactly what they were doing when they called the Spirit that Jesus was working through the spirit of the beelzebub and saying he had a devil when in fact they knew like Nicodemus that it was the Spirit of God was working in him, that's what blaspheming the spirit of God is and it could only be done by a willful act and not an accident, the diference between that and blaspheming the Lord is that which Saul did before he was known as Paul the apostle, he admitted that he blasphemed but God forgave him because he did it in ignorance and not knowingly 13 "Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief." (1 Tim 1:13) If you have any questions about my answer feel free to contact me

Answer 4

It is the rejection of Christ and the salvation plan through him.

There are many verses that work together to form this belief, and I will try to find them, until then, let me put it out there like this.

Biblically, when one becomes "saved", accepts Christ and the salvation plan, the "Holy Spirit" comes to live within him. To blasphemy the holy spirit, is to reject Christ, reject the Holy Spirit, that is unforgivable. Some believe it is not rejecting Christ, but rather accepting him, and then at some point turning away, hence also refusing the Holy Spirit.

Now, all sins are forgivable, but that one. Biblically, the only way into heaven, is to accept salvation, hence being forgiven of all sins. By deduction, and the salvation plan itself, it can not be unforgiven of a Christian, as they have accepted the Holy Spirit.

Hope that makes sense.

Answer 5

10 And everyone that says a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but he that blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven it.

Luke12:10

26 For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition.

Hebrews 10:26, 27

Answer 6

Great question!

I have wondered so often about the "unforgivable" sin that Jesus spoke of. He said it is "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit".

I just went to wikipedia and it defines blasphemy as "defamation of the name of God"

THAT EXPLAINS WHY GOD DOES NOT REVEAL HIS NAME!!

He is always referred to by a title. All the names in the Bible for God are translations of an attribute of God. OR say God name is really "Jehovah". And we know Jesus' name is Jesus. But there is no mention of the name of the Holy Spirit..Why? maybe it's this.

We can't possibly commit the unforgivable sin if we don't know how!

Yea!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for making me find out!

Answer 7

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN is when you get SAVED (Born-Again) grow in Spiritual Matter's High Enough to be able to commit the Unpardonable Sin, then commit it----which is walking away from JESUS on Purpose not wanting HIM or Salvation any more. Baby Christian's cannot commit this SIN.
HEBREW's chapter 6 verse's 4,5,6----for it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once ENLIGHTENED (GOD show's them that they are LOST), and have TASTED of the HEAVENLY GIFT (asked JESUS to come into their HEART and SAVE them), and were made partaker's of the HOLY GHOST (asked GOD to FILL them with the HOLY SPIRIT), and have TASTED the GOOD WORD of GOD (Grew Spiritually by READING the WORD of GOD, it's in the BIBLE), and the power's of the world to come (this is a PERSONAL thing, you will know when you have felt the POWER of GOD in Gathering's and Assemblie's of the CHURCH(Body of CHRIST), IF they shall FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto Repentance------.

The UNPARDONABLE SIN is not regular old SIN's like---cheating, lying, murder, rape, being gay, drunkeness, fornicating etc..

The Unpardonable Sin is when you get Born-Again (Spiritman Recreated) GROW in Christ (climb up the Mountain of TRUTH) and then WALK AWAY FROM JESUS ON PURPOSE. You have to go up High Enough on the Mountain, so that if you JUMP-OFF, the Fall will kill you (mess-up your Spiritman so that you are LOST Again BIG TIME).

Blasphemy of the HOLY SPIRIT:
1. You never get Born-Again and leave the EARTH for GOOD.
2. You get Born-Again and Speak against the HOLY SPIRIT.
If you see Miracle's being performed and don't understand what is happening, better to BE QUIET about it, then SAY anything, it might be the HOLY SPIRIT doing the Miracle's. You won't be forgiven of the Talking against the Spirit of GOD when you get to HEAVEN. (loss of reward's and other thing's). Just be quiet, till you learn to "try the Spirit's to see if they are of GOD".

Alot of Children of GOD have committed Blasphemy in Ignorance, What-ever !!, they'll find out about it when they get HOME to HEAVEN.

UNPARDONABLE SIN: IF you still want to go to HEAVEN, still want JESUS and all of SALVATION-----YOU HAVE NOT COMMITTED THE UNPARDONABLE SIN------People who have done this DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT JESUS NO MORE----Yea, I think I ran into one Person who had done this, Sad, it happen's occasionaly. IF you are Born-Again, when you SIN, RUN to JESUS, not away from HIM. If you keep on playing around with SIN after your SAVED, it could draw you away from JESUS ever so slowly, till you get HARDENED and commit this SIN. But all of the LESSER SIN's mentioned above, can be forgiven, but you will REAP what you have SOWN (consiquencie's of sin) Hope this helps. Ditto !!!

Answer 8

BLASPHEMY

blas'-fe-mi (Greek [blasphemia]): In classical Greek meant primarily "defamation" or "evil-speaking" in general; "a word of evil omen," hence, "impious, and irreverent speech against God."



(1) In the Old Testament as substantive and vb.: (a) (Hebrew [barakh]) "Naboth did blaspheme God and the king" (1Ki 21:10, 13 the King James Version); (b) (Hebrew [gadhaph]) of Senna-cherib defying Yahweh (2Ki 19:6, 22 = Isa 37:6, 23; also Ps 44:16; Ezek 20:27; compare Nu 15:30), "But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand (i.e. knowingly and defiantly), .... the same blasphemeth (so the Revised Version (British and American), but the King James Version "reproacheth") Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people." Blasphemy is always in word or deed, injury, dishonor and defiance offered to God, and its penalty is death by stoning; (c) (Hebrew [charaph]) of idolatry as blasphemy against Yahweh (Isa 65:7); (d) (Hebrew [naqabh]) "And he that blasphemeth the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death" (Lev 24:11, 16); (e) (Hebrew [na'ats]) David's sin is an occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme (2Sam 12:14; also Ps 74:10, 18; Isa 52:5; compare Ezek 35:12; 2Ki 19:3 the King James Version; Isa 37:3).



(2) In the New Testament blasphemy, substantive and vb., may be (a) of evil-speaking generally, (Acts 13:45; Acts 18:6); The Jews contradicted Paul "and blasphemed," the Revised Version, margin "railed." (So in the King James Version of Mt 15:19 = Mk 7:22; Col 3:8, but in the Revised Version (British and American) "railings"; Rev 2:9 the Revised Version, margin "reviling"; so perhaps in 1Tim 1:20; or Hymeneus and Alexander may have blasphemed Christ by professing faith and living unworthily of it.) (b) Spea king against a heathen goddess: the town clerk of Ephesus repels the charge that Paul and his companions were blasphemers of Diana (Acts 19:37). (c) Against God: (i) uttering impious words (Rev 13:1, 5, 6; Rev 16:9, 11, 21; Rev 17:3); (ii) unworthy conduct of Jews (Rom 2:24) and Christians (1Tim 6:1; Tit 2:5, and perhaps 1Tim 1:20); (iii) of Jesus Christ, alleged to be usurping the authority of God (Mt 9:3 = Mk 2:7 = Lk 5:21), claiming to be the Messiah, the son of God (Mt 26:65 = Mk 14:64), or making Himself God (Jn 10:33, 36). (d) Against Jesus Christ: Saul strove to make the Christians he persecuted blaspheme their Lord (Acts 26:11). So was he himself a blasphemer (1Tim 1:13; compare Jas 2:7).



The Unpardonable Sin:

(3) Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: "Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come" (Mt 12:31, 32 = Mk 3:28, 29; Lk 12:10). As in the Old Testament "to sin with a high hand" and to blaspheme the name of God incurred the death penalty, so the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit remains the one unpardonable sin. These passages at least imply beyond cavil the personality of the Holy Spirit, for sin and blasphemy can only be committed against persons. In Mt and Mk a particular case of this blasphemy is the allegation of the Pharisees that Jesus Christ casts out devils by Beelzebub. The general idea is that to attribute to an evil source acts which are clearly those of the Holy Spirit, to call good evil, is blasphemy against the Spirit, and sin that will not be pardoned. "A distinction is made between Christ's other acts and those which manifestly reveal the Holy Spirit in Him, and between slander directed against Him personally as He appears in His ordinary acts, and that which is aimed at those acts in which the Spirit is manifest" (Gould, Mark at the place). Luke does not refer to any particular instance, and seems to connect it with the denial of Christ, although he, too, gives the saying that "who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven." But which of Christ's acts are not acts of the Holy Spirit, and how therefore is a word spoken against Him not also blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? John identifies the Holy Spirit with the exalted Christ (Jn 14:16-18, 26, 28). The solution generally offered of this most difficult problem is concisely put by Plummer (Luke ad loc.): "Constant and consummate opposition to the influence of the Holy Spirit, because of a deliberate preference of darkness to light, render repentance and therefore forgiveness morally impossible." A similar idea is taught in Heb 6:4-6, and 1Jn 5:16: "A sin unto death." But the natural meaning of Christ's words implies an inability or unwillingness to forgive on the Divine side rather than inability to repent in man. Anyhow the abandonment of man to eternal condemnation involves the inability and defeat of God. The only alternative seems to be to call the kenotic theory into service, and to put this idea among the human limitations which Christ assumed when He became flesh. It is less difficult to ascribe a limit to Jesus Christ's knowledge than to God's saving grace (Mk 13:32; compare Jn 16:12, 13). It is also noteworthy that in other respects, at least, Christ acquiesced in the view of the Holy Spirit which He found among His contemporaries.

Answer 9

Mark 3:20-35

The crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself." And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against 'himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.
"Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"—for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."
And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."
About eight years ago a young woman came into my office at Bethel, extremely distressed over this issue of the unforgivable sin. She told me how one day when she was a young teenager she got so angry at her mother who was a Christian that she locked herself in her room and used every swear word and oath and foul language against the Holy Spirit that she could think of. That day was seared into her conscience and came back to haunt her again and again. She wanted to know if she had committed the unforgivable sin. It is not a merely academic question. What could be more terrifying than to believe you are beyond forgiveness and bound for eternal misery with no escape?

Let's ask three questions to our text: 1) Is there really an unforgivable sin? 2) If so, what is it? 3) How should we live in view of it?

1) Is there really an unforgivable sin? Note verse 29, "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin." Three observations: first, the forgiveness in view is God's forgiveness. The sweetest news for a sinner is that God has forgiven him, that God no longer holds his sins against him. But the worst news in the world is that God will never forgive you. God is the one to reckon with. What men think about our sin is relatively unimportant. What God thinks is infinitely important.

Second, Jesus says that God will never forgive a person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit. When a human says, "I'll never forgive you," we may go on with life: there are others we can turn to; and "never" really doesn't mean never. But when God says, "I will never forgiven you," then there is nobody to turn to in all the universe and never really means never. If God says to you, "Never will I forgive you," then a million ages from now his verdict will be like granite. His sentences are as unbreakable as his pardons.

Someone may say to you, "Literally Jesus simply said that forgiveness would not be given 'unto the age,' meaning in this age; but in the future age pardon can be found." This is not what Jesus meant. Matthew 12:32 makes his meaning more precise, "Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come." When Mark 3:29 calls blasphemy against the Holy Spirit an "eternal sin" it means a sin that God will not forgive to all eternity. If all the mountains on the earth were wearing down at the rate of one millimeter every thousand years, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would still be unforgiven when the face of the earth is as smooth as a billiard ball. It is an eternally unforgivable sin.

Third, therefore the person who commits this sin is guilty forever before God and under his wrath without end: "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness; but is guilty of an eternal sin." If forgiveness is withheld for eternity, guilt is sealed for eternity. God is never neutral to sin. He either forgives it or punishes it. There is no neutral middle ground of indifference. Not to be forgiven by God forever, is to suffer his wrath forever. To reject the doctrine of eternal hell under the wrath of God is to reject the forthright teaching of our Lord Jesus. Mark 3:29 is one of the clearest passages in the Bible to the effect that there will be those shut out of forgiveness, bearing their guilt forever. And it is the teaching of Jesus, who loved us and gave himself for us!

So in answer to the first question, yes, there is an unforgivable sin. Jesus calls it an eternal sin, one that never has forgiveness, one that sends a person into eternity to bear his guilt under God's wrath forever.

2) The second question: What is this sin that is beyond forgiveness? Against verse 29: "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness." The unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. But what is that? Verse 30 makes clear that Mark wants us to understand blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in relation to the scene in verses 20-27. Verse 30 gives the reason why Jesus brought up the issue of an unforgivable sin: "for they had said (or: were saying), 'He has an unclean spirit."' That points us back to verse 22: "The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, 'He is possessed by Beelzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."' Note very carefully: Jesus does not say that these scribes have committed the unforgivable sin. He hears them attribute his power over demons to Satan instead of to the Holy Spirit and he says, "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness." It is a warning to the scribes. Maybe they have committed the unforgivable sin, maybe they haven't. But when they see the work of the Holy Spirit and call it the work of Satan they are at least on the brink of never-ending guilt. Perhaps they have even fallen over the edge.

Why do I hesitate to equate what the scribes said with unforgivable blasphemy? I hesitate because Jesus invites me to with verse 28. "Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter." Literally: "All things will be forgiven to the sons of men, the sins and the blasphemies whatever they blaspheme." No exceptions are mentioned. The key to understanding the unforgivable sin is how verse 28 can be stated so absolutely ("all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven") and yet verse 29 can say that there is a blasphemy and a sin beyond forgiveness.

What does verse 28 mean? Mark makes it plain that sins are forgiven only if a person repents. Mark 1:4, "John the baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." Mark 1:14,15, "Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel." (See also 4:12; 6:12 and Acts 2:38 and 5:31.) In order for anyone to receive forgiveness of sins, they have to repent—that is, to turn from sin to God and trust his grace and follow him. So when Jesus says in Mark 3:28, "All sins will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they utter," he means, all sins and blasphemies from which you genuinely repent.

Why then in verse 29 does Jesus seem to exclude one sin and one blasphemy from this promise: the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? I think the reason is that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit puts you beyond repentance and therefore beyond forgiveness. Verse 29 is not an exception to verse 28. Jesus is not saying, All blasphemies that you repent of will be forgiven except blasphemy against the Spirit. He is saying, all blasphemies that you repent of will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven because it puts you beyond repentance—you won't be able to repent of it. If a sin makes it impossible for you to repent, then that is an unforgivable sin, because forgiveness is promised only to those sins from which we genuinely repent (cf. 4:12).

But why does this one particular sin, this one blasphemy, make it impossible to repent and be forgiven? What about blasphemy against the Son of God, or God the Father or angels or scripture, or the church? Why do these not put us beyond repentance and forgiveness? Why only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? I think it's because of the unique and decisive role the Holy Spirit plays in our salvation. If we look to God the Father and then turn from his glory to embrace sin that is bad. If we look to his Son Jesus Christ whom he sent into the world and then turn away from his glory to embrace sin, that is doubly bad. But in either case there is hope. The Father has planned redemption, the Son has accomplished redemption. This wonderful redemption is outside ourselves and available to us if we repent of our sin and turn back to Christ in faith. But it is the unique and special role of the Holy Spirit to apply the Father's plan and the Son's accomplishment of it to our hearts. It is the Spirit's work to open our eyes, to grant repentance and to make us beneficiaries of all that the Father has planned and all that Christ has done for us. If we blaspheme and reject the Father and the Son there is still hope, for the Spirit may yet work within us to humble us and bring us to repentance. But if behind the Father and the Son we see and taste the power of the Holy Spirit and reject his work as no more precious than the work of Satan, we shut ourselves off from the only one who could ever bring us to repentance. And so we shut ourselves off from forgiveness.

Let's take one more step before we define the unforgivable sin. Some people say that the unpardonable sin is continual rejection of the Holy Spirit until death. And thus only death puts a person beyond forgiveness. I think that is wrong for two reasons. One is that in Matthew 12:32 Jesus says, "Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or the age to come." If the possibility of forgiveness were taken away only after death then Jesus would not have said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable in this age as well as the one to come. Another reason is 1 John 5:16 teaches that there is a sin unto death which is pointless to pray about. It puts a person beyond forgiveness even in this life. Therefore the unforgivable blasphemy against the Spirit is not simply a lifetime of resistance against the Holy Spirit.

What then is it? The unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an act of resistance which belittles the Holy Spirit so grievously that he withdraws for ever with his convicting power so that we are never able to repent and be forgiven.

3) Our final question is: How should we live in view of this possibility? The fact that there is an unforgivable sin—that there comes a point in a life of sin after which the Holy Spirit will no longer grant repentance—that face should drive us from sin with fear and trembling. None of us knows when our toying with sin will pass over into irrevocable hardness of heart. Very few people feel how serious sin is. Very few people are on the same wavelength with Jesus when he said in Mark 9:43, "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire." Instead, many professing Christians today have such a sentimental view of God's justice that they never feel terror and horror at the thought of being utterly forsaken by God because of their persistence in sin. They have the naive notion that God's patience has no end and that they can always return from any length and depth of sin, forgetting that there is a point of resistance which belittles the Holy Spirit so grievously that he withdraws forever with his convicting power leaving them never able to repent and be forgiven.

They are like the buzzard who spots a carcass on a piece of ice floating in the river. He lands and begins to eat. He knows it is dangerous because the falls are just ahead. But he looks at his wings and says to himself, "I can fly to safety in an instant." And he goes on eating. Just before the ice goes over the falls he spreads his wings to fly but his claws are frozen in the ice and there is no escape—neither in this age nor the age to come. The Spirit of holiness has forsaken the arrogant sinner forever.

You have heard the warning. Now hear the offer of grace. "All sins will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they utter." I urge you in the name of Christ: if by God's grace you can repent today of you sin, do it now, because you may not be able to tomorrow.
