Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

the only sin that God will not forgive is blasphemy agaisnt the Holy Spirit, also known as the "unpardonable sin." Wayne Grudem in his Systematic Theology defines blasphemy against the Holy Spirit as "the unusually malicious, willful rejection and slander against the Holy Spirit's work attesting to Christ, and attributing that work to Satan." The idea of a sin so heinous it could not be pardoned is taken from several passages of Scripture (Matt. 12: 31-32; Mk. 3: 29-30; Lk. 12: 10; Heb. 6: 4-6; cf. 10: 26-27; 1 Jn. 5: 16-17).
It appears that the "unpardonable sin" consists NOT in doubting the truth about Jesus, nor of simple unbelief.
Rather, the unpardonable sin involves a hard-hearted denial or contradiction of the truth concerning Jesus despite the conviction of one's own mind that it is the truth. To illustrate:
The Pharisees had witnessed Jesus' miracles and works repeatedly. The miracles themselves attested to the authority and mission of Jesus. When Jesus healed a demon-possessed man in clear demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit, the Pharisees willfully rejected Jesus' authority and attributed the miracle itself to the devil (Matt. 12:22-24). Now to this kind of willfull hard-heartedness, there is no forgiveness for how can there be? If the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit to heal, kick out demons, raise the dead is not enough for these Pharisees to acknowledge that God is in Christ, what else is there? The Spirit's testimony cannot be improved upon. The Pharisees have put themselves beyond God's ordinary means of bringing people to repentance and faith.
Hope this helps.

Jesus said that 'blasphemy against the holy spirit' was unforgivable. And Paul said that there is no sacrifice for sins left for one who practices sin willfully despite knowing the truth. (Luke 12:10; Hebrews 10:26, 27)
this is a cut and paste okay,
Servants of God love what is good. But they must also learn to hate what is bad. (Psalm 97:10) That means avoiding certain practices that God hates. What are some of those practices?
2. Fornication: Sex before marriage, adultery, bestiality, incest, and homosexuality are all serious sins against God. (Leviticus 18:6; Romans 1:26, 27; 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10) If a couple are not married but are living together, they should separate or else get legally married.—Hebrews 13:4.
3. Lying, Gambling, Stealing: Jehovah God cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) Persons who want his approval must avoid lying. (Proverbs 6:16-19; Colossians 3:9, 10) Every form of gambling is tainted by greed. So Christians do not take part in any kind of gambling, such as lotteries, horse racing, and bingo. (Ephesians 5:3-5) And Christians do not steal. They do not knowingly buy stolen property or take things without permission.—Exodus 20:15; Ephesians 4:28.
4. Fits of Anger, Violence: Uncontrolled anger can lead to acts of violence. (Genesis 4:5-8) A violent person cannot be God's friend. (Psalm 11:5; Proverbs 22:24, 25) It is wrong to take revenge or to return evil for the bad things that others might do to us.—Proverbs 24:29; Romans 12:17-21.
5. Magical Spells and Spiritism: Some people call on the power of the spirits to try to heal sicknesses. Others cast spells on their enemies to make them sick or even to kill them. The power behind all these practices is Satan. So Christians must not take part in any of them. (Deuteronomy 18:9-13) Staying close to Jehovah is the best protection from spells that may be cast on us by others.—Proverbs 18:10.
6. Drunkenness: It is not wrong to drink a little wine, beer, or other alcoholic beverage. (Psalm 104:15; 1 Timothy 5:23) But heavy drinking and drunkenness are wrong in God's eyes. (1 Corinthians 5:11-13; 1 Timothy 3:8) Drinking too much can ruin your health and disrupt your family. It can also cause you to give in very quickly to other temptations.—Proverbs 23:20, 21, 29-35.
God hates drunkenness, stealing, gambling, and acts of violence
7. Persons who practice things that God says are bad will "not inherit God's kingdom." (Galatians 5:19-21) If you really love God and want to please him, you can break free from these practices. (1 John 5:3) Learn to hate what God says is bad. (Romans 12:9) Associate with people who have godly habits. (Proverbs 13:20) Mature Christian companions may prove to be a source of help. (James 5:14) Above all, rely on God's help through prayer.—Philippians 4:6, 7, 13.

If you are Catholic, I do belive there is such a thing as "Mortal Sin". I'm not sure where this is in the Catholic bible, but acts such as murder would be consdered one of them.
As for my understanding of God, he forgives all. He allows Satan to get into your head to committ the sins, so therefore he must forgive something he made happen. At least that is MY understanding of it...

If you've sinned, you cannot get into Heaven. Jesus died to take all the world's sin onto Him. With that said, the only way for you not to get into Heaven, is to not have asked for forgiveness of your sins.

none. god can forgive any and all sins.
Matthew 1:14 The angel announced to Joseph, "You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 26:28 "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
1 John 8-9 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
please note: no mention of any exception to God's infinite forgiveness, just as there is no exception to God's infinite Love.

I think if we truly repent, he'll forgive us no matter what. I don't have much time, but go to http://www.biblegateway.com/ and make your own searches for verses about that topic. Good luck!!!!

Judgment only exists in the physical world. The divine does not judge or forgive.
What will "judge" you is your own memories when you are in a state of being without your earthly ego and when you realize all are one. The memories of how you treated others, human and animal, are what determine whether you are in 'hell' or 'heaven'.

Blaspheming the holy spirit is the only unforgivable sin jesus describes until revelations and that sin is taking the mark of the beast
Mark 3:28-29 (King James Version)
28Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Revelation 14:8-10 (King James Version)
8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Edit:
I cant believe that christians did not know this! for all the "god is nothing but love" folks you better remember god is also going to be our judge. A loving god is also a just god, the statemets above are in the bible, i would suggest reading them in full. Blaspemy of the holy spirit is called an unforgivable sin by Christ himself and taking the mark of the beast during the tribulation time is also. Hopefully none of you would have to be here to choose martyrdom over the mark it is my most sincere wish that you would be raptured with the church as god has promised. But these are unforgivable sins said in the bible by Christ. they do exist, not all is forgivable.

nothing, theres nothing that god cant forgive, its us who cant forgive ourselves, were afraid to face ourselves, out of fear we justify our wrongs, or we compare ourselves to others just so we can say to ourselves that we aint that bad, face the things that uve done, admit that uve done it, resolved that u wont do it again, then face god, he will give u repentance, its only him who can give u that, repentance will set u free from ur former way of thinking, of living ur life, but he give it only to those who want it, to those who dont, he doesnt have to do anything, its us who will destroy ourselves
