Blasphemy against the Spirit
- Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven (Matthew 12:31)
Is the sin of attributing to Satan
- But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man drives out demons only by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons." (Matthew 12:24)
What is the work of the Spirit of God
- But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:28)
We really do not know why Jesus said this sin is unforgivable.
With love in Christ.

The unpardonable sin is sinning against the Holy Ghost, which is that after YOU come to the knowledge of the truth & you know it is Truth & you turn away from it & make fun of it, Then God will turn your mind over to a reprobate mind, I have had many ask me, How do I know if I commited that sin, My answer has always been this, If you have commited that sin, God will Never again deal with you in anyway, Because it takes the conviction of God to save you, therefore if you or me have ever committed that sin, we would never have a desire to talk about God. It is one thing to walk away from truth & another thing to walk in it for a while & then turn your back on it, Because then you have trodden the blood of Christ under your foot & there remained no more sacrifice for sins. So Friend since you asked this question shows me that you have not commited this sin.

Jesus Said he'll send the holy spirit to his disciples that will teach us all things and bring to mind all he has taugth. So the unfigavible includes a deliberate sin against the holy spirit or a deliberate sin after having received the accurate knowledge from studying God's word. A person who commits sin against the holy spirit or the outworking of God's spirit, does so knowingly and unrepentantly. Such a sin cannot be forgiving just as Jesus says (matthew 12: 32) Note that this sin against the holy spirit is notr the inherited sin from our first parents, but a willful practice of sin which leads to death without ressurrection(1\john3 :6 - 9) Such ones, God judges them and removes his spirit from them and we are not under any obligation to pray for such unrepentant ones (Hebrews 6 : 4 - 8 and 1John 5 : 16,17) So although God is slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness he does not give exemption form purnishment to sin of deliberate wrongdoers. Also note that a person might greive (sin) against the holy spirit but can find forgiveness if such trully and repentanltly recovers from following a bad course of life.

All sin is forgivable. The only sin that is mentioned that cannot be forgiving is the grieving of the Holy Spirit. Meaning basically you ignore the promptings of the Holy Spirit long enough that you don't hear him anymore and what is wrong seems right to you and what is right seems wrong to you. The way that Jesus reaches us on earth now is through the Holy Spirit the comforter. Remember that he warned also the Pharisees in Matthew that they should be careful that they don't grieve the Holy Spirit, by there actions they were attributing what is good as evil and what is evil as good because they refer Jesus as having the devil.

There is no sin that is unforgivable. Yes, some sins are worse than others (like murder,rape,etc) but all sins are forgivable. God is a just and merciful God. He has a very big heart and will forgive anyone of any sin as long as they are truly remorseful and change their ways.

rejecting the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sinful condition. People either accept or reject.

There is only one sin that is not forgiven and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit would be to mock the Holy Spirit, etc.

the unforgivable sinis to worship God wrongly and to misinterpret the meaning of each messiah's message to humanity. each one bring a new message to renew our worship of god and hence we must interpret them properly. to think that one religion is better than the other is also unforgivable. all religions carry the same message - love and worship of god! so pl dont screw things up!

Whatever you don't happen to agree with at the time, and only if it is convenient at that time.
