All sins are forgivable, it is up to Jesus to decide. Only he is the judge, not anyone else. But he mentioned two things. These are my interpretations, please check the texts out for yourself:
1. Publicly calling what God does, or calling him evil when we know better - this is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit mentioned by Christ. This is in Matthew 12, verse 22 onwards.
2. Being persistently bitter and unforgiving toward others who wrong us. Our own forgiveness is not reasonable if we will not forgive others, Matthew 6v14~15. This might be contingent on being asked for forgiveness by someone who wrongs us, I think so, but I am not sure.

Sinning against Gods Holy Spirit - Matthew 12:31&32. Or the willful practice of sin. Hebrews 10:26.

in ordinary terms God is definitely-known with if we've dedicated an unforgivable sin (Romans 14:12) as reported in the Bible (Matt. 12:31, 32; Mark 3:28, 29; Luke 12:10). "Blasphemy against the spirit" comes from an exceptionally wicked heart (Hebrews 3:12) it is purposely and willfully attempting to oppose God's holy spirit. To willfully oppose God's holy spirit we would could have an precise know-how of the actuality of God's be conscious as shown by utilising the apostle Paul who replace into shown mercy via fact he blasphemed till now he got here to be attentive to the actuality (a million Ti a million:13; Hebrews 6:4-6; Hebrews 10:26).

The only sin that is unpardonable is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. You can find that in Mark 3:29 and in Luke 12:10. You should also look at 1 John 5:16-17.

Mark 3:29
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.
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.
Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is not the same as saying he doesnt exist. This is done when you call the work of the Holy Spirit the work of Satan.

If a person denies and rejects God until their death, which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and dies in their sins without repentance and accepting Christ as their Savior...then it is unforgivable.
It's why it is so important for everyone to make the most of today while it is today...to seek Christ while they have the time, because no one knows when their time will be up. Without God as the center of their life, they are simply living on borrowed time from the very God they rebel against and reject. It is only by His mercy that they have even a single minute free of the eternal punishment we all deserve.
Take Care and God Bless.

No, of course not. The Bible states that blashphemy is an unforgiveable sin, but also states that any sin can be forgiven. It's a matter of the state of the heart. If a person is genuinely sorry, it does not matter what he or she has done, the Bible states that God will forgive these sins and "wipe them clean". Otherwise, you'd have people who had committed blashphemy who figured the rest of their lives were doomed anyway and became throughly wicked. It doesn't work that way.

Yes there is Jesus said that all sin can be forgiven except one - blasphemy against the Holy Spirit it is an eternal sin. See Matthew chapter 12 verse 31.
Hope that helps answer your question.

For the born-again child of God, there is no unforgivable sin. All sin was forgiven at the cross. When Christ Jesus said, "It is finished" (John 19:30), that statement meant that the penalty for all sin was paid in full. The word translated "it is finished" is the Greek word “tetelestai.” That word was used in several ways. It was used to stamp "paid" upon a receipt, and it was also the stamp put on a criminal's charges once he had completed his sentence. A "tetelestai" was nailed to the door of his house proving that he had indeed paid in full for his crimes.

The Bible says that the sin against the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven..in this world or in the next. No one seems to know exactly what it is. I sure hope I haven't commited it.
