and refuse the forgiveness Jesus offers to all mankind, but no unpardonable sin exists today. Every offense that can be committed is covered by Christ's atoning sacrifice."

agree. the word "blasphemy" there in Greek has a continual verb tense. it means that you're constantly "pushing Him away". if you push Him too far, then you're using a ten foot pole and you don't want Him near you. eventually, He's out of earshot and you never heed the call, as you stop hearing it.

Every offense is covered by Christ's atoning sacrifice, however, it is not automatic. The Holy Spirit is truly a gentleman and will not force His way on anybody. People have the right to accept or reject Him. To reject Him is to remain unjustified, unredeemed, unsaved, unpardoned. There is the unpardonable sin...to reject the Holy Spirit who leads us to pardon that Christ has provided through His sacrificial death on Calvary. Since salvation will never be forced on anyone, it is possible to remain unpardonable, if one refuses the gift of salvation which pardons us from sin.

Their is this group called the rational response squadf and their group is sorrounded by the verse in the bible in mark that whoever blasphemies the holy spirit will not be forgiven, so many ppl take this thing called blasphemy challenge saying they deny the holyspirit and God and jesus, what they dont know is, that verse is not talking about denying the existence of God, its talking about seeing the manisfestation of Gods power and calling it evil. and in todays world no one has seen the manisfestation of Gods power, it explaind more into that in the bible like jesus did miracles in front of the scribes the scribes called it evil and saying its done by a demon

Every offense except dying while not being saved (which Ive heard interpreted to be the blasphemy against the holy spirit). At least that's what alot of theists say.

I guess they're saying that if you reject the Holy Spirit you're a sinner. While I may or may not forgive you, God always will as long as you receive His Salvation.

Conflicts with Mark 3:29, which was written after Jesus died.
