    What is the sin that will never be forgiven?

    Posted by Lev/Christopher on December 24, 2009 at 12:44pm
    in Theology

    What is the unpardonable sin?
    Quick-read this article:
    Jesus is quoted in the Bible — in Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29, and Luke 12:10 — as saying that all manner of sin and blasphemy can be forgiven except the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. What is this unforgivable sin, commonly called the unpardonable sin? Who is guilty of it? Answer: The primary meaning applies only to those who said Christ's miracles were the work of the Devil, but the same destiny of eternal damnation applies to all who reject Christ today.

    Christians sometimes get worried when reading the Bible that they might have committed what is commonly called the “unpardonable sin”, or the “unforgivable sin”.

    The Bible quotes Jesus Christ (in Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29, and Luke 12:10) as saying that this sin, which Jesus calls the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, will not be forgiven either “in this world” or “the world to come”.

    This has to be the ultimate sin — a sin so bad that God won't forgive it, thereby sealing the perpetrator's fate and hurling whoever commits it into eternal damnation in Hell.

    Good news for Christians

    However, there is good news for Christians: You cannot commit this unforgivable sin. There is also good news for non-Christians: You can avoid the punishment that applies to this sin if you take the right action to head it off. Here is what the unpardonable sin is all about.

    The Bible actually tells us what this sin is. In Matthew chapter 12, we read that Jesus cast out demons from a man who was unable to see and speak. The eyewitnesses were amazed, and began to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

    The Pharisees of course had seen Jesus work numerous miracles and do wonderful deeds without seeking anything in return. If anyone should have recognized the work of God in this it should have been them. But the Pharisees were so full of hate and were so anti-Christ that they totally misrepresented Him as being the instrument of God's miracles. Even worse, they accused Him of being an agent of Beelzebub, the prince of demons.

    And then came Jesus' powerful and insightful statement — that every kingdom that is divided against itself comes to ruin. He said that if Satan were casting out Satan, he would be destroying himself, which makes no sense.

    This left the obvious, and correct, conclusion that Jesus was casting out demons by the Spirit of God, and “the kingdom of God is come unto you” (Matthew 12:28). Yet the Pharisees were accusing Jesus of having an evil spirit in Him.

    Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

    It is clear from the passages in Matthew 12, Mark 3, and Luke 11-12 that Christ's reference to the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost was swift condemnation of the unbelieving Pharisees. They had attributed to Satan what was in fact a wonderful miracle of the Holy Spirit.

    The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit — the unpardonable sin — was the Pharisees' unforgivable allegation that Jesus was doing the work of Satan and not of God.

    Christians who worry whether they have committed the unpardonable sin certainly haven't. Their concern over doing spiritual wrong stands in sharp contrast to that of the Pharisees, who despite the strongest evidence rejected the true source of the miracles and even lied to try to turn others against Christ as well.

    God will forgive murder, adultery, theft, and any other sin we confess and turn from. So we can be sure that if we are truly repentant God will forgive us.

    Can anyone commit the unpardonable sin today?

    Many Bible commentators have pointed out that the incident involving the blind and dumb man was the only one in the Bible in which any of the Bible writers mention the unpardonable sin.

    They point out that none of the Bible writers mentions this blasphemy against the Holy Spirit anywhere else. Therefore, they reason, it seems to apply only to those who were involved in accusing Jesus of doing Satan's work when He cast out the demons and healed the man who was blind and dumb.

    This incident then, seems at least to be the primary meaning of the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is the sin that will not be forgiven. It is not possible to be part of that group of denying Pharisees today, so we cannot commit that unpardonable sin today.

    Consequences are still there

    However, we should be aware that the punishment awaiting those who committed the unpardonable sin — eternity in Hell — will also be the fate of many others alive today.

    We may not blaspheme the Holy Spirit like the Pharisees did, but the same punishment awaits those who reject the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the agent in conviction and conversion, and you cannot be born again without the Holy Spirit (John 3:5; Romans 8:11). There can be no pardon for those who totally reject him and die in their unbelief.

    Eternal punishment will not be the fate of anyone who has received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, but it will be the fate of those who are hardened and unrepentant of their sins, who are not born again. (“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.)

    We each have the choice of being either hardened or pardoned.

    What do you think?


    Lev,

    My testimony about this thing is that in my walk as a young man of about 12 years old, I was tormented by worry that this would happen to me or even had happened to me.

    I was reading my bible one night, remembering that time, and YHWH, by Yahushua of YHWH who is the Holy Spirit of Binding Power of Love even of all creation, spoke to my Heart and asked if I would be willing to follow Him into what He had planned for my life. Seeing in reading of His Word that Yahushua was crucified and suffered greatly and that speaking of YHWH to me was concerning His plan to follow Him even if it cost me my life. My initial response to Him was No. But in repenting afterwards telling Him Yes.

    During that time was the most severe testing I could describe of this very topic you have posted. And YHWH in His great wisdom has put many through this very thing to test us and to make us into the way of Heart that He has planned. Through overcoming by the very same Power of the Life of the Blood of the Lamb, the Holy Spirit given to all who would ask of our Father by His Yahushua, I came to the place in that walk where it is known within the very being inside that Nothing Can Change The Aleph-Taw, that Emet(Truth) is Rock Solid, Unchangeable, Unmoving in purity, Powerful Life of the Word, that Root of the Inward man that can never be changed, Holding on to and submitted to Being One with our Elect Messiah as His Body and we Elect by Him, of that Faith that comes by hearing His Voice!

    The enemy testing us would have us believe a LIE. Yahushua in the face of any LIE from any of the shadim/demons, man following or from the accuser himself, can never be changed!!

    Yahushua is being the Aleph-Taw of Living Life, the Emet who is Alive, the Torah of that Way, that Truth and that Life the Path of Life, the One who is Being I Am Being All Things Made to the Light of All Mankind by the Power of YHWH, in perfect sameness, yesterday, today, and forever!

    Once going through that fire of testing and it may take some time, it leads us to understand that Rock of our Salvation that will Never be Broken nor Changed, nor in the Hand of our Father there is Nothing that can Pluck us out of His Hand. We have overcome by our Testimony of Life and that Is in the Blood of the Lamb! We cannot commit that crime of blasphemy who are in that Life we have of the continual blood flow that is poured out daily upon the Living Temple! We can be tested but always overcome! It is impossible to fail where there is remission of sin by that same Power!

    Now, whenever the enemy pops up that thing he is put underfoot and stamped by that Rock that crushes his head and we know that NOTHING can change that Righteousness placed upon the Altar of our Heart, our Yahushua by the Holy Spirit of Love and that Overcoming Power of Life who is THE SOLID ROCK!

    It is a shame that there would be any who give up on that continual blood flow of Life upon the altar of the Heart by the flatteries of the beast or of the attraction to the things of this world by walking away from Spirit and Truth. We who have been tested with that ultimate test and have overcome by the Rock of Truth that cannot be changed by a LIE, have a blessing that comes from our Father that cannot be had any other way.

    There is Power in that Life of the Blood of the Lamb!

    It is real and something we feel, know, we love and are filled to overflowing of that Oil of Spirit and Truth and that burning fire is not only in our Lamp but burning all around us where others can see and feel and come to that great Light of the World! And we just can't help from telling somebody about it! It is so good!

    Blessings, and may we all be blessed by that overcoming Power of our Father who gives even more than we could even think or ask.

    Just adding, if the way to have remission of sin is by the Holy Spirit of our Father given by our Yahushua of His Life of His Blood, if there is no remission of sin upon the altar of the heart of those who would not believe, and are attributing that remission of sin to wickedness as to deny the YHWH part, the Holy Spirit of our Messiah who is the Unleavened Bread, how could any then have remission of sin?

    There is no forgiveness where the way to have it is denied and that LIFE is not flowing upon the altar of the heart. But, to those who have believed in Messiah and have received Him of that Life of the Holy Spirit of YHWH, we are become the sons of YHWH Elohim.

    Shalom!

    Yeshua says this particular sin, which I believe to be called the "blaspheming of the Ruach HaKodesh" (not quite sure what this means) is not to be forgiven "in this age/world, or in the next".
    Well, this age would be the one we're living in now - the next age would be the Millenial Kingdom.
    And the age AFTER THAT is the 8th Day - wherein that sin might be forgiven ??

    Interesting...never thought of it like that. That might even be a hint at universal salvation.
