Answer 1

John said: “If anyone catches sight of his brother sinning a sin that does not incur death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, yes, to those not sinning so as to incur death. There is a sin that does incur death. It is concerning that sin that I do not tell him to make request.” (1 John 5:16) Jesus also spoke of sin that “will not be forgiven,” that is, sin against the holy spirit.

Does this mean that all who are expelled from the Christian congregation for sinning unrepentantly have committed sins that “incur death” and thus should not be prayed about? This would not necessarily be the case because in some instances such transgressions are not sins that incur death. In fact, it is difficult to tell if they are. A typical example is King Manasseh of Judah. He erected altars to false gods, offered up his own sons in sacrifice, practiced spiritism, and put a carved image in Jehovah’s temple. In fact, the Bible says that Manasseh and the people did “what was bad more than the nations whom Jehovah had annihilated from before the sons of Israel.” For all of this, Jehovah punished Manasseh by sending him as captive in fetters to Babylon.

Were Manasseh’s sins, gross as they were, the kind that incur death? Apparently not, for the account goes on to say about him: “As soon as it caused him distress, he softened the face of Jehovah his God and kept humbling himself greatly because of the God of his forefathers. And he kept praying to Him, so that He let himself be entreated by him and He heard his request for favor and restored him to Jerusalem to his kingship; and Manasseh came to know that Jehovah is the true God.”

We should not jump to the conclusion that a person must be guilty of sin that incurs death solely because he is expelled from the congregation. It may take time for the true heart condition of the individual to be revealed. In fact, it is often stated that one of the purposes of disfellowshipping is to cause the sinner to wake up and hopefully to repent and turn around.

Since the person is no longer in the congregation, any change in heart and attitude may be observed first by those close to him, such as a marriage mate or family members. Those observing such changes may conclude that the transgressor did not commit a sin that incurs death. They may be moved to pray that he may draw strength from God’s inspired Word and that God will act toward the sinner in harmony with His will.

Answer 2

At 1 John 5:16, 17, John evidently refers to willful, knowing sin in speaking of “a sin that does incur death” as contrasted with one that does not. (Compare Nu 15:30.) Where the evidence indicates such willful, knowing sin, the Christian would not pray for the one so offending. God, of course, is the final Judge as to the heart attitude of the sinner.—Compare Jer 7:16; Mt 5:44; Ac 7:60.

Answer 3

In another passage, Jesus said that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost "hath never forgiveness."
In the new testament, Matthew 6:13,14, the words of Jesus indicate that refusal to forgive others will result in not being forgiven by God.
According to Matthew 25, the refusal to care for the poor does result in damnation.
Temporary errors are not sins that lead to death.
God shall judge every man according as his work shall be.

Jesus asked the Pharisses in at least three places, Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?
The only reason for any prohibition in the bible, why any thing at all is called a sin in the bible is because that sin can or will result in the destruction of human life.
Charity shall cover the multitude of sins because real charity seeks to save life, and not destroy it.

The old testament speaks of "life for life." The real reason an "unbeliever" would go to hell would be because that person deliberately and knowingly destroyed the lives of others.
I base this on several other passages in the old english bible.

Answer 4

The unpardonable sin of Mark 3:28, 29.

Answer 5

I believe he's talking about the only sin that can't be forgiven which incurs death (eternal)

The sin that can't be forgiven is :

Matthew 3:28-29

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.

God bless!

Answer 6

The sin that assures death is the Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 7

There is really only one sin,desire which caused humanity to believe we are separate and apart from God, all other sin emanates from this one. Quit claiming I have a desire to do my will. Accept all desire as Gods will, do Gods will in all that you do. practice unity awareness, all this is God. Even if you don't understand, God does. GIVE GOD YOUR SENSE OF SELF. "God dwells within you as you"

Answer 8

Apostasy, that is openly rejecting or betraying Christ specially after being a follower once. Like Judas Iscariot.
