Matthew 12:31
"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."
The question then is what is blasphemy? The dictionary definition is: "A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity."
This does not really explain much so let me add some of what I have seen in a ministry for those who have been abused. Many of these people have contacted me and were very angry and they stated God did not exist because He was no there when they were being abused. Many of these made statements that could be considered to be the unpardonable sin, or blasphemy but they do now have a relationship with GOD.
What then is the unpardonable sin if many can do what most would call blasphemy and still "get saved" I contend that is rejecting the payment that Jesus made for our sin throughout life. If one dies without trusting Christ that is the unpardonable sin.
I also assure anyone reading this that is worried that they have committed the unpardonable sin, if you are worried about it...you did NOT do it! I do believe that some could still be alive and have committed this sin because they said their last NO to GOD. God says HIS Spirit will not always call us. It is possible for the next time we reject the call to salvation, that it could be our FINAL ANSWER!

The bible states that the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. God does not tell us specifically what it is so when you commit this sin you will not recognize it thus not be able to reconcile with Him. You're soul will be damned to hell for eternity and there is no way out of it.
Suicide is thought of being an unforgivable sin merely because when you kill yourself you are dead and can't ask for forgiveness. The Church teaches that when you commit suicide that your soul will face Jesus Christ and it's up to your soul to reconcile at that point. If you have fed your soul thru out your life in the belief of Jesus, your soul will tell Jesus it believes and ask that He forgive you for committing suicide and Jesus will decide what to do with you. If during your life you reject Jesus, your soul will also reject Jesus and Jesus will decide what to do with you. So, suicide can be forgivable according to the Lord.
It's blasphemy against the Holy Spirit that is 100% non forgiveable.

blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is the only sin that will not be forgiven.....
Remember that Samson committed suice. It all depends what the intention is. The same situation can mean completely different things to a good heart and a bad heart.
A good heart does good with compassion without expecting anything in return.
A bad heart does good with a hidden agenda because it want to come out gaining something at the end.

the bible says that the only sin that will not be forgiven is blaspheming the holy ghost. as for suicide goes well if u die fast and never repent then i really feel u stand a good chance at hell. however if to try to committee suicide and suffer for i time and truly wish u could take it all back and repent then heaven is where u might get to be but no one can say 4 shore. i would never risk it though. I cant wait to see the face of god what aday that will be. when my Jesus I shall see

I can remember the stories in the Bible about the people who had their debts forgiven, but then turned around and did not forgive those who owed them, then the righteous judge threw them into outer darkness forever because of it. So, I think one unforgivable sin, besides blaspheming the Holy Spirit, is the sin of unforgiveness. The Scripture says to pray "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive the trespasses of others". Also in Mark 11, if we do not forgive, God will not forgive us. Something to think about.

Sin against the holy ghost Matthew 12:32. And sucide is one because you can't say sorry Lord for my sin after killing yourself. So it's unforgivable.

well suicide is murder and no way to repent from it so no forgiveness. but the unforgivable sin is turning away the Holy Spirit

The unforgivable sin is to be human. Our choice or his and one way to save ourselves. However we have to seek the answer before it can be revealed to us. For his kingdom is eternal and we will lye in ruin if we choose wrong.
