You mean denying the Holy Ghost (i.e. hating the light, not merely being ignorant of it)? No. One can never be forgiven because they are eternally blind to God and eternally hateful of all that is good. Very few people are like this.

Do you believe you can? I'm afraid a question like that is really up to you. There are no accidents or coincidences in the Universe so if someone committed a supposed 'eternal sin' it would have to be part of the great universal plan, wouldn't it?
I'm not condoning actions which hurt others, I'm simply saying everything happens for a reason, and as we can't see the outcome of situations before they happen, we cannot know what effect any action will have on the future.

Anyone can be forgiven. Murderers, Thieves, anyone. God sent his son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin. If you haven't seen the passion you should watch it but it still doesn't even come close to how much it really did hurt. The bible says that when he was hanging on the cross you couldn't even recognize that he was a human because he was beaten so badly. But do you know who he did that for... yep it was you and me and everyone. This is how I remember the plan of salvation and forgiveness. A Ask for forgiveness! B Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ! C Confess that he died for you sin and was raised again!
And if you are saved he will forgive you all the time, for the big things and the little things. 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I will be praying for you!

People who fear they may have committed 'the unforgivable sin' or an "eternal sin" should be take courage from the thought that their very fear is strong evidence that they have not done so. Those who are approaching the unforgivable sin are those who no longer even think about repentance and feel no need for it. The great news is forgiveness is open to all that who asks!

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Luke 12:10 "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will NOT BE FORGIVEN."

There really isn't an eternal sin. Once you turn from your sins and ask God for forgivness, he totally forgets that it was even committed.

Yes, by repentance. When he realizes his sin, he prays God for forgineness and uses the remaining days of his life to do the Will of God for compensation. It is wrong to think that after begging for forgiveness he can keep on sinning again.
