Christ seems like a pretty forgiving God.. But I sometimes wonder being a christian myself if there is a amount of sins that God just finally says.. Okay, I have forgiven you so many times for this, or that! This time I am not! I know I have wondered if the Lord always forgives.. Even Hitler, and all the various serial killers in this world?

Blasphemy against holy ghost and murder.

Forgive means that you accept the atonement of Christ, repent and God forgives you of the sin meaning you don't have to suffer the punishment for it. Otherwise, the law is in full effect and you have to suffer the punishment.

Many Christians have heard that there is an unpardonable sin and live in dread that something grave that they have done before or after conversion might be that sin. Their fears are unfounded. While there is an unforgivable sin, it is not one which a true believer in Jesus Christ can commit.

The one sin which God cannot forgive is mentioned in Mark 3:28-30 and Matthew 12:31-32. Jesus had been performing miracles, including driving demons out of people by the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of recognizing the source of Jesus' power and accepting Him as God's Son, the religious leaders accused Him of being possessed by the devil and driving demons out in the power of the devil. Jesus responded by saying, "I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

The sin of the religious leaders, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, was a refusal to accept the witness of the Holy Spirit to who Jesus was and what He had come to do, and then submit their lives to Him. Jesus said concerning the Holy Spirit, "When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment" (John 16:8). They chose rather to reject the Spirit's witness to their sin and to Jesus and accused Him of being demon possessed!

The point for us is that if we have received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we have not blasphemed the Holy Spirit; we have accepted His witness. One study Bible explains it as follows: "To commit this sin one must consciously, persistently, deliberately, and maliciously reject the testimony of the Spirit to the deity and saving power of the Lord Jesus." If a person keeps doing that until death, there is no hope of forgiveness and eternal life in heaven. Once again, the unpardonable sin is not some particularly grievous sin committed by a Christian before or after accepting Christ, nor is it thinking or saying something terrible about the Holy Spirit. Rather, it is deliberately resisting the Holy Spirit's witness and invitation to turn to Jesus until death ends all opportunity.

In order to experience God's peace, we must come to Him, trusting His promises. Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." In 1 John 1:9 we read: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Jesus Himself assures us, "Whoever comes to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37). Our God is a compassionate and merciful God. He desires that no one should be lost, but that all should come to salvation through repentance and personal faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord (2 Peter 3:9; Acts 2:21).

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is the unforgiveable sin.

In reality, he can't forgive anything, on account of him being dead.

Christians don't agree about any "unforgivable sin" - otherwise, I'd just commit it and let them now, thereby cutting off at the stem any conversion attempts.

Christ forgives anny sins that people makes, expect if you harm annyone onpurpose. in that situation it's doesnt matter if christ forgives you or not, it depends on the one who you victimized. If he forgives you then you are off the hook, because you commit a sin to him, not towards God or christ.

Gee, all this time I thought it was the Ten Commandments and a few added amendments.
My opinion on this matter is: We are in his state of Grace, but WE ALL will be judge on our conduct and actions when the time comes. I think of it as being on patrol with an extended court date.
Just my opinion and point of view.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and Apostacy.

Hebrews 6: 4-6

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because[b]to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.


Those of us who have left the Church can never come back.

Where sin(law) abounds, grace(no sin) much more abounds, till in the end already written there's no menton of law(sin), since even mention of law imputes sin and death. Selah.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
