in hebrews 6:4 are they recrucifying christ because they are persecuting him and acting against him, and while they do that they cannot repent, or are they trying to repent after blaspheming his spirit and they cannot because his sacrifice was only once for the sins of the world, as if there is a sin beyound that.

I would like to go back to the oldest available greek text to make this clear.

A person who has committed the unforgivable sin does not want to stop what he is doing/thinking. He may repent, but then he goes back to doing/thinking the same sinful thing, not out of weakness or inherited imperfecion, but on purpose. It is impossible for him to truly repent and turn to do good because he truly wants to sin. He chooses to not truly repent.

Christ's sacrifice is for sins of ignorance, weakness or inherited imperfection. It is not for sinning, asking forgiveness and then purposely sinning over and over again. One doing this is, in effect, trying to sacrifice him again.

We all do things that are wrong that we fully meant to do, but after experiencing the consequences or looking at the matter closer, we are truly sorry. For this type to be unforgivable, the person's dominate attitude must be that he really would like to do the bad act/have the bad thought, if he could.(2 Peter 2:20-22) God's patience will eventually wear out with this type of person.

This is the sin of apostasy. They are in a sense recrucifying Him. Because they are bringing shame and reproach to Jesus all over again. It is shameful to Christ when you declare to be Christian and then fall away. Man can not bring another man guilty of apostasy back into communion with God. Only God can do that. Most of the time, the man who committed this sin is not willing to accept God's invitation back. So, by the grace of God, they can repent...but choose not to. They have a hardened heart that will not yield to the will of the Father.

Again the interlinear:

"Impossible for the ones once for all having been enlightened having tasted and of the free gift of the heavenly and partakers having become of spirit holy and fine having tasted of God saying powers and of being about to come age and having fallen beside, again to be renovating into repentance, putting on stake again to themselves the son of the God and ones making to be show beside"

Simple. The sin of unforgiveable blasphemy is to those who are too lazy to take responsibility for their own "sins" and feel they can escape it by this ignorant belief the murder of a holy one "will."
