need information on sins and forgiveness?

Question

me and my wife have been having a discussion about God and what we've read and learned in church she says that there are 7 unforgiveable sins and i told her that i've always been taught that Jesus died on the cross to forgive mankind for all sins not all but 7 and we would like to know other peoples opions

Answer 1

No, there is one sin that is not forgiveable. That is "blasphemy of the holy spirit", which is the utter rejection of God. Nothing is not forgiveable if one confesses it to God. If, of course, a person doesn't care and dies unrepentant, they will not be forgiven (this also includes their rejecting Jesus as savior).

Answer 2

Authentic sorrow (perfect contrition) for sins, plus true repentence, is what's typically necessary to receive forgiveness from God.

This has been the case since Satan rebelled, and it's not likely to change, any time soon.

Most of us are not very good at either of these things, because we enjoy our sins way too much, so whether we actually receive forgiveness is always a matter for speculation, and it's something we won't really know for sure, until Judgment Day.

The Catholic Church has a sacrament ... the sacrament of reconciliation ... that provides additional graces, and that absolutely eliminates nearly all of the uncertainty.

As for the unforgiveable sin ... there's only one ... blaspheming the Holy Spirit ... and it's not an easy sin to commit.

In fact, one would probably have to spend a lifetime rejecting God's grace to become capable of it ... and then, even the most insincere act of contrition would likely eliminate the possibility.

Answer 3

Many people fear a list of seven sins that God supposedly will not forgive. This list is known as the “seven deadly sins.” Is the idea of “seven deadly sins” Biblical? Yes and no. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares: “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: (1) haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked schemes, (5) feet that are quick to rush into evil, (6) a false witness who pours out lies, and (7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” However, this list is not what most people understand as the “seven deadly sins.”



Most people understand the list of the “seven deadly sins” to be: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth. Although each of these are undeniably sins, they are never given the description of "the seven deadly sins" in the Bible. The traditional list of the “seven deadly sins” can function as a good way to categorize the many different sins that exist. Nearly every kind of sin could be placed under one of the seven categories. More importantly, however, is that we realize these seven sins are no more “deadly” than any other sin. All sin results in death (Romans 6:23). Praise be to God, that through Jesus Christ, all of our sins, including the “seven deadly sins,” can be forgiven (Matthew 26:28; Acts 10:43; Ephesians 1:7).

Answer 4

No, all of are sins have been washed away with his blood that was shed on the cross when he died for you and me you are right. And how does that make any sense that only 7 are unforgetable they are all forgiven the moment we
A-Admit that we are sinners.
B-Believe that God died for our sins and rose again on the third day.
C-Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and you will be saved-romans........ 10:10 And also confess your sins and they will *ALL* be forgiven!
JOHN 3:16 will rap all of this up and become clear!!!
In his name,
Sarah

Oh yeah---blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is never accepting Christ as your personal Savior and Lord. Without Christ, no sins are forgiven.

Answer 5

Jesus died on the cross for our sins and to give us apersonal relationship with him all sin is sin there are two unforgivable sins they are blashphemy of the holy ghost and suicide you are the temple of the holy ghost and you are not your own you were bought with a price so if you kill yourself you can not recieve forgiveness for that,blasphemy of the holy ghost is unforgiveable any thing else is forgiveable read Psalm 51

Answer 6

Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy again the Holy Spirit. Everything else is forgivable, if you repent and ask forgiveness.

Answer 7

There is only 1 unforgivable sin. . .and that is to deny Jesus Christ once you have known Him and His Divinity.
There are 7 deadly sins as taught by the catholic church, but they are deadly if you don't control yourself.

Answer 8

Which sin was Jesus blood not good enough for? The only deadly sin is the sin of not believing in Jesus. All other sins have been paid for in full. all you have to do is accept the gift.

Answer 9

All sins are forgiveable, but all carry a different price. If the sin is particulary bad, like murder, rape etc the person would need to devote the rest of their lives to serving god and begging for forgivenss. Lesser sins like telling a lie etc can be forgiven by hail marys, praying simply confiding in a priest.

Answer 10

Matthew 31 "Every sin or blasphemy can be forgiven – except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which can never be forgiven.

Thats the only one.
