That ONLY the Elect and ONLY during the reign of the Anti-christ, can one commit the unforgivable sin, [blaspheme against the Holy Spirit]...Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
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.
12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Mark 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 .
Not allowing the Holy Spirit to speak thru them [elect], that's the unforgivable sin.

It really is not hard to understand, you just have to study the "wisdom" in the written words that's all, once you have that then every thing else just falls into place for you God bless.

Why is it so hard for YOU to understand that the human species isn't just one big ant heap? Currently there are about six and a half billion (that's billion with a B) humans on the p lanet and while we have many things in common as a species, each one of our brains, and minds are unique. We don't have the same history, the same upbringing, the same culture or the same belief system. We are individuals and we simply don't all see things the same way. You can quote scriptural passages all day long, and repeat them over and over like a polly parrot, but if another person does not share your belief in that stuff, doesn't a ccept it and simply doesn't relate to it in any way, it isn't a matter of "understanding"; it's an issue of personal opinion and personal choice. I've travelled the world, and at one time or a nother I've lived among people of just about every different culture, skin color, social status and belief system. There was often much I didn't "understand" about the other person's way of thinking and believing, and certainly they didn't always understand mine. But you just have to recognise that people are multifaceted, they have preferences and dislikes about a great many different things in this life. I never decided I liked or disliked a person just based on one issue... whether we happened to share the exact same personal belief. The way to truly get along with your f ellow human beings, whoever they are, is to concentrate on things that you DO share in common. Focus on them, and don't get "all bent out of shape" over other things where you don't see eye to eye. YOu not only can't "save the world" you have absolutely no right to try to get into another person's life and into his head and attempt to re-design his thoughts, views beliefs and opinions to match yours.. As I said to somebody else recently, if w e all w ent around believing we had the right to intrude on others that way, we would no longer have a truly free society, and w e could no longer claim to defend the right of each and every individual to be the master of his own thinking and believing. I wouldn't want to live in any society like that, and I don't think you would.

The unpardonable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. To blaspheme means to speak against. Those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit speak against his witness of Jesus Christ. This sin can be committed by anyone at any time. Misrepresenting the Holy Spirit and his ministry is also a blasphemy.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is misappropriating grace, declaring what is holy as unholy, denying the works of God.

I get it...
Blaspheme the Holy Spirit and you will NOT get into Heaven. It is the ONLY unforgivable sin.

Why on Earth would you believe such nonsense? How can you rationally justify taking such a ridiculous position? It make no sense to believe the myths of people who lived several thousand years ago.

All these verses are in precise talking of steadfastness, and firm faith. Jesus said “it is your faith which healed you” So you have to have develop firm faith and conviction.

Because it is not true. I do not buy into your hellfire and brimstone mentality. You are free to live in fear but I have no need.

its hard to understand because you posted scripture and not your own words or someone elses that knows what they are talking about.
