Which sin does not lead to death?

Question

1 John 5:17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

No one gave me a specific sin like adultery or something like I was hoping with some evidence to support so I'll put this to vote.

Answer 1

i think if you read around it and know the rest of the bible it might be referring to sin that can be forgiven so it is still not unto a final eternal death if forgiveness is asked. the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.

Answer 2

John speaks of prayer and two types of sin. (1 John 5:16, 17.) “A sin that does not incur death” is not willful, and it would not be wrong to pray that the repentant wrongdoer be forgiven. But it would be wrong to pray concerning “a sin that does incur death” because this is willful sin against the holy spirit, for which forgiveness is impossible. (Matthew 12:22-32; Hebrews 6:4-6) Such sinners go to Gehenna, experiencing eternal destruction in “the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) So while God is the final Judge, we do not risk displeasing him by praying for a sinner when the evidence indicates that he is guilty of willful “sin that does incur death.”

Hence, “if anyone catches sight of his brother sinning a sin that does not incur death “second death” he will ask, and God will give life to the "sinner,” saving him from eternal destruction. Of course, “all unrighteousness is sin,” or a missing of the mark as far as God’s righteous standards are concerned. “Yet there is a sin that does not incur death” because it results from our imperfection, we are repentant, and the sin is covered by Christ’s sacrifice.

Answer 3

A sin which does not lead to death is a sin which is committed by a Christian as he struggles to live a godly life.



When a believer sees a fellow believer struggling against any such sin we are to intercede for our brother for God's forgiveness. God has promised to hear and answer our prayer.

A person who willfully sins - in other words, a person who consciously chooses to sin and does not care about the consequences - is impossible to bring back to God (Hebrews 10:26-31). Such an attitude is called blasphemy (Numbers 15:30-31). Notice that not only is the person cut off from God's people, but his guilt remains with him. Korah's rebellion against Moses is an example of this type of attitude (Numbers 16:1-35). Korah and his followers died because they chose to break God's Law and would not turn from it, even though they were warned.

Another passage in Hebrews also speaks to this point. When someone is taught God's Word and then turns their back on their only source of salvation, there is nothing left to bring them back to God (Hebrews 6:4-6). Peter, when discussing this same point, says leaving is worse than never finding the truth (II Peter 2:20-22). The reason is simple, if you have never learned, there is a hope of teaching you about the truth, but if you have already learned the truth and have rejected it, what more can anyone do?

Answer 4

Any sin that doesn't lead to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

I suggest you get intimate knowledge of the Holy Spirit, so that you can stop doubting the truth of God. Then you would fully understand how that sin could ever possibly be committed.

Incidentally, "death" in that verse is not talking about physical death, it's indicating spiritual death, as in good bye eternal life.

Answer 5

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit : "What is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?" Answer: The concept of “blasphemy against the Spirit” is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. The term blasphemy may be generally defined as “defiant irreverence.” The term can be applied to such sins as cursing God or willfully degrading things relating to God. It is also attributing some evil to God, or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This case of blasphemy, however, is a specific one, called “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 12:31. In Matthew 12:31-32, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by the demon “Beelzebub” (Matthew 12:24). Now notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what they did to commit “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.” This blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. As a result, this particular incidence of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth—He is seated at the right hand of God. No one can witness Jesus Christ performing a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. The closest example today would be attributing the miracle of a redeemed person’s changed life to Satan’s power rather than to the effects of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The blasphemy of the Spirit today, which is the same as the unpardonable sin, is the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. Continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s promptings to trust in Jesus Christ is the unpardonable blasphemy against Him. Remember what is stated in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Further on in the same chapter is the verse “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him” (John 3:36). The only condition wherein someone would have no forgiveness is if he is not among the “whoever believes in Him,” for it is he who “rejects the Son.”

Answer 6

Sins of someone that are saved, besides greiving the Holy Spirit or Blasphemy.

Answer 7

The only unpardonable sin, is blasphemy against the HOLY SPIRIT. Because, without the HOLY SPIRIT there is no salvation.

Answer 8

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Every sin leads to death without Jesus. But that was why Jesus died on the cross to take away all the sin we have ever committed. But unless we repent to God and acknowledge that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sin then we will go to hell when we die. But there is hope:)

Romans 10:9-10, "That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

Answer 9

The "sin" of donating money to churches which pay not any taxes and are supported by those who do pay property taxes. This sin does not lead to death but to everlasting life. So give all the money you can give to your church with their paid pastors (it IS a business) and this will get you into heaven guaranteed.

Answer 10

The forgiving one,s,the one,s forgiven by God only.
