Is there such a thing as the unforgivalbe sin?

Answer 1

Q. What is the unpardonable (unforgivable) sin?


A. The verses in question which address this subject are found in the gospels of Matthew and Mark as follows:

"Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be the Son of David?" But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Beel'zebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons." Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand; and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beel'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
"But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (Matt 12:22-32, RSV)


"And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beel'zebul, 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." (Mark 3:22-29, RSV)

From these two sections of scripture we can ascertain what Jesus was speaking about; the sin against the Holy Spirit. He was specifically addressing the Pharisees who accused Him of performing miracles by the power of Satan rather than by the power of God, that is, the power of the Holy Spirit. This is one category of sin which will not be forgiven if someone persists in this type of accusation or blasphemy. Which basically amounts to giving Satan the credit instead of God. This is one type of unpardonable sin.

the comparable argument (by Hume) that states that there would properly be no actual organic regulation (perfect and incorrect geared up into the international by God and obtrusive to all and sundry) additionally destroys any desire for empirical technology. Hume argued against Christianity by asserting that the argument of God's life from the universality of organic regulation won't be able to be. guy's ability to observe the international is inner and incorrect. someone's senses are imperfect and extremely fooled. The reason and result (deterministic) habit of the universe could be ASSUMED and might't be shown. -- The validity of technology is an assumption. yet, there remains a universality of what's seen incorrect or "sinful." each usa has rules against stealing and homicide. additionally, sin isn't in basic terms a contravention against God as some have incorrectly posited. Sin is a contravention of the organic order. It has it very own geared up in organic effects. The Christian assumption is that the international is designed around love -- that the international became designed for human beings to place others in simple terms before themselves. Sin is a putting oneself interior the midsection of the universe somewhat than God or others. Such selfishness finally ends up in homicide, stealing, hatred, wars, etc. whilst the Christian foundation for the middle reason for sin is according to revelation from God, the outcomes (the sinful acts) are universally defined and self sustaining from a perception in God.

Answer 4

Sin is an outdated concept.

Religion makes people morally lazy. It promotes a spoon-fed list of rights and wrongs. It is a list of what is right and wrong, according to an old book, and totally misses out on the why something is right or wrong. When talking to religious people about morality, you frequently can't get them to explain why something is wrong other than "God said so". And they're actually satisfied with that answer! It doesn't even occur to them to think about how something might be beneficial or detrimental to society. They don't even think about what things are better or worse than other things. According to their books, backtalking your mom is just as bad as mass murder.

It is true that if you don't have the same rules force-fed to everybody, they will come up with their own set of morals. However, they do that anyway, as is evidenced by the wide range of religions and religious branches. Just this week, Virginia Episcopalians broke off from the main Espicopalian church over the issue of whether gays should be allowed to run their churches.

And it is actually good that everybody has different moralls. We would be stagnated as a society if everybody agreed on the same list of rights and wrongs. They tried that in the Middle East with Islam, but that's falling apart now. Instead, there should be a free market of ideas. If a line of thought is good, it should stand on its own merit, not just because some people have been manipulated to believe it.

So, no sin is unforgivable, because men are the ones doing the forgiving. We have a great capacity and range of levels of forgiveness and morality. What one person won't forgive, another will agree with.

Answer 7

The "unforgivable sin" has already been done and we cannot do it again. You cannot have done anything that can not be forgiven. If you believe Jesus did and will do what he says he will do, you are fine. God doesn't hold a grudge; talk to Him about it.
