Absolutely terrified I did this. I've gone to bed sobbing for months and months now saying "Lord forgive me I'm so sorry, please forgive me, and everyone like me, we didn't know! Lord have Mercy!" Then I do a the divine mercy prayer with my rosary beads and St. Anthony's litany of the Lost almost every single day. Please pray for me and people like me! Amen! 💔😭

[@mariagarr9946]

Thank you for asking for forgiveness for everyone including yourself. You have a good heart for thinking of everyone and not just yourself.

[@johnp.6043]

The scriptures put in context will explain the meaning of the unforgivable sin. Mark 3:29-30: ( Jesus is speaking directly to the scribes) ; but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: vs30 because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. ( The context is vs30 notice it says “ they said” ( the scribes) “ he has” (Jesus) an unclean spirit. Another word’s Jesus is speaking about the scribes what they said about him, that he had a demon. It would be impossible to blaspheme the Holy Ghost in this Church age today, unless Jesus was standing in front of you to make that accusation directly to him. I hoped this helped. Get saved today. The Gospel 1Cor. 15:1-4 Ephesians 2:8-9 Roman’s 4:4 Having Faith alone in Jesus Christ,that he died, buried and rose on the third day. And in Romans 3:25 for he is a propitiation through Faith in his blood to wash all your sins away. It is not by our righteousness, but Jesus righteousness that we may have eternal life. By his grace alone, in Faith alone, in Jesus alone. Blessings!

remember 1John 1v 9 if we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness . so just praise God for forgiving you and move on . Dont let the devil make you eternally guilty. God is not a liar he does what he says. he has forgiven you

[@CollinKillian]

Sounds like attention seeking, hanging on to sin after asking for forgiveness is akin to not asking forgiveness at all. Pray once, go to confession and then let it go..

I would take this teaching just a half step further. God doesn’t just sit around waiting for us to ASK for forgiveness. He OFFERS us the forgiveness won for us by the suffering and death of Christ. But He has given us free will, and therefore will not force us to accept the forgiveness He offers to us. Sorrowfully, those who refuse the forgiveness of God are necessarily, by their own choice, lost.

[@umzambia132]

When asking for God's forgiveness, can someone be forgiven by God if they repent in the privacy of their home or does forgiveness only happen when one confesses their sin before a priest?

[@tsujin_tsunami]

@@umzambia132 it has nothing to do with a priest. If you ask at home then you are forgiven. And when you pray do it through Jesus not Mary. She didn’t die on the cross for you.

[@franp5607]

The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against that Holy Spirit...i.e. taking the credit away from The Holy Spirit and giving it to someone or something else. If you're panicked and worried that you have blasphemed The Holy Spirit, relax....you haven't! People who blaspheme The Holy Spirit do it intentionally...don't care that they have.

[@briannavlopez]

I'm 15 and a young Christian. Im absolutely terrified I committed the unforgivable sin. I suffer from these terrible thoughts saying mean things about the Lord, the Holy Spirit or Jesus. When I'm having a mind attack, I tend to whisper Good things for example "Jesus is good" or the "Holy Spirit is good" but sometimes I dont know if I accidentally get my words mixed up and say the bad thoughts. I get so much anxiety from it, I cry, my body shakes and I immediately Pray and Repent. I'm just so scared. I've gotten so much anxiety from this. This is probably the most scariest tying I've felt. I've prayed to God to take the thoughts away, I know I need to trust Him but it's so hard at times, I know I sound like a terrible person for saying that but I mean I always worry aswell my heart isn't soft enough or that I'm not forgiven. Please if someone could reach out it would dearly help me.

[@Jc-ee3kq]

It does not sound like you are intentionally turning your back on God. Bad thoughts happen with everyone. It's how you act on those thoughts. I hear in you that you believe in God and have remorse when you sin. Try to move on to positive thoughts and positive activities when you find your mind wandering in the wrong direction. Get a good book on religion that interests you and have that on hand when you need help. Or go to this KZbin site for more Catholic content. kzbin.info

[@christophersnedeker2065]

I have mental illness and I go through something similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSTe6CuYq-AjNk he said the unpardonable sin is permanent rejection of the truth the holy spirit witnesses to because they love that which is evil. Not just saying something flippently like "I blaspheme the holy spirit" or "I hate the holy spirit" it's called and eternal sin, not a momentary one. Today they were trying to tell me the intrusive thoughts ment I blasphemed the and for a second I tried to silence them by thinking "if I were to intentionally try to blaspheme the holy spirit it'd look like this" and for a split second I was about to intentionally think the thought "I blaspheme the holy spirit" and mean it but I stopped myself before the thought was complete. I was still scared because I wondered if the intention to do it for a split second itself counted as doing it. Though I suppose even if I did intend to do it attempting or intending to do something is not necessarily the same as actually doing it.

[@taylorwise2096]

Wicked thoughts are bound to pop up in your head every now and then, we live in a world of sin. Just know that God is bigger than any of what may go on in your mind. The fact that you feel sorry/guilty about this shows your true nature and your feelings for God. Just pray and know that God only wants the best for us, I’ll keep you in my prayers ❤

[@Billyjoe78517]

I struggle with this as well. I also have other ocd tendencies, and have been considering seeing a psychiatrist about them. Maybe you should too? I’m trying to come out of these thoughts as well. I had clawed my way to believing and loving God through his grace, but I realized that I had trouble believing in Jesus for some reason. This lead to intrusive thoughts about the divinity of Jesus, and it made my faith worse. There are a few things I think about when I get scared, they sometimes help, they sometimes don’t, but either way they are true: you don’t go to hell on a technicality, God loves you so incredibly much, more than you could ever imagine, and that persistence in prayer leads to God. The gospel this week was a parable from Jesus talking about the widow and the unjust judge. Jesus says that a widow sought judgement from this unjust judge, but the judge was unjust and ignored her. This judge neither feared God nor respected his fellow man. However, after a long time of pestering from the woman, he finally gave in, saying “I should render just judgment for her, lest she come back and strike me”. What more will God, who is just, do for those who cry out to him? Cry out to God for everything, he listens.

The thing that also supports this a bit is a passage from the gospel of john. One of the pharisees (the people that jesus was addressing this sin to because they were badmouthing jesus' spirit) actually came to him at night and asked how to be saved, and jesus did not deny him. He even told him about the holy spirit and how to be baptized in the spirit. Literally the first thing jesus tells him to do is basically repent. (I'm not sure if this takes place AFTER the warning jesus gave or before but if it was after, this is more proof)

Great video! I'm very happy to have found this channel (which I'm surprised isn't more popular) because I love both coffee and the Catholic faith. 😎 ☕ ✝️ There are two points that I would like to add that I think may also be beneficial. One is that God will judge each of us justly. That is to say, God is unlike a human judge in that He will not judge superficially or based on misunderstanding or error, but will reward us each according to what we deserve. Romans 2:6 God "will repay each person according to what they have done." (cf. Job 34:11, Psalm 62:12, Proverbs 24:12, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 16:27, Revelation 22:12) However, we also know that God is merciful and desires to forgive us if we ask for forgiveness and forgive others. James 2:12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (cf. Ezekiel 33:11, Matthew 5:7, Matthew 6:14, Matthew 7:2, Luke 15:11-32, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Peter 3:15, 1 Timothy 2:4, Revelation 2:21) If we combine these two facts, I think that we may be assured that in the worst of all possible cases, God will give us exactly what we deserve, but if He does not, it will only be because He has decided to judge in our favor because of His divine mercy. Therefore, as Paul says: Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Carla and just today I was questioning my faith and I was wondering the Orthodox Jews said that a false prophet would come out and say that he is the son of God and do what do magic things of the devil to convince people and in revelations it says that the antichrist will do magic in front of everybody and that would claim to be god so I was wondering didn’t Jesus do these things that the Jews predicted I thought that I had said Jesus was of the devil and I was terrified up to that point I was having actually thoughts of being a atheist but I realized my wrongs and asked for forgiveness I didn’t say Jesus was of the devil but I was wondering why others did think that he was. I don’t know everything but I would say pray to god talk to fellow believers I think the fact that you know you did something wrong shows that you are sorry talk to god he loves you and will not forsake you

@Carla You can’t commit it on accident, so you didn’t commit it.

[@veryhappy2681]

I did something very similar when I read that passage I said something out loud about the Holy Spirit that sent terrible fear and has plagued me for years… It did make me more serious about my faith and my priest told me that people who commit this type of sin couldn’t care less they have no interest at all and no fear at all about sins, and that if it was that easily stumbled into the devil would’ve had many many many people accidentally stumbled into the sin … even if you read the requirements of a mortal sin it requires full knowledge and for consent… a clear decision and even with those requirements forgiveness is still available in the end mercy is greater than judgment and mercy will have the last word and anyone who desires to be forgiven can only have that desire by the prompting of the Holy Spirit… my pre-said one sure sign that a person has not committed the impartinable sin is the very fact that they are frightened by such a sin …

[@christophersnedeker]

I honestly have a moment when I fear I might have committed it, Ihave had deep moments of joy when I thought I had a mystical experience of God. But later in a moment of deep pessimism I think I believed it was a deception of the devil. I fear this may have planted a mustard seed of anti faith in my soul that will never permit me to fully trust God again. But I've had moments when the feeling comes back and I feel that joy again, and this gives me hope, I wouldn't be feeling the holy spirit again if the holy spirit and I were no longer on speaking terms would I? But part of me fears it may be like a ball bouncing up a little shorter each time until it comes to rest on the ground. But I must hope on, there may come a day when my faith fails me, but that day is not today.

You can't just isolate Matthew 7 21 and then jump to John 39 Easy believers and hypergracers do this all the time, the isolate the part about "did we not do miracles in your name?" And say "see they're Lordship salvationists trying to get into heaven by their good works" but it's so ironic because if you continue to read Matthew 7 it says "therefore the one who hears my sayings and does them is the wise man who builds his house on the rock and the one who does them not is a foolish man who builds his house on the sand" The point is even if you perform miracles in the name of Jesus but don't do the things Jesus told you to do you're wasting your time.

He loves you so much that hes waiting for you to turn to him. He wants a relationship with you. And Jesus loves you and he wants a Relationship with you, and he died on the Cross for you because he loves you so much. For God so love the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Have a true relationship with Jesus and be truly in for Christ. The Bible says if you Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and you believe in your Heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be Saved, do that while your Praying, for by Grace we are Saved through Faith and not ourselves, for this is a gift from God. And accept him as your Lord and Savior while you are Praying to. And Repent these sins like lying, homosexuality, adultery, lust, taking God's name in vain (oh my this and I swear to this), cheating on somebody with another person, Doing evil, murdering, killing, worshiping and believing in false gods and idols, etc. And if you get left behind after Jesus comes back, you will have to go through the Great Tribulation, and it's going to be terrifying after Jesus comes back, the anti christ will be revealed and the mark of the beast will be introduced all over the world, the mark of the beast number is 666 DONT TAKE IT, it's an unforgivable sin and you will go to hell if you take it, God wont forgive you after you take it, you will have to die for Jesus during the Tribulation, God bless you. And Hell is NOT a party. It is full of torment, and suffering, and lake of fire burning, and a lot of demons down there for eternity, there's terrifying demons down there that you can never imagine. Please repent before it's to late, God bless. And repent these sins like lying, homosexuality (being gay and lesbion).

No that's silly

[@AdvancedMarketingGro]

There is NO SUCH THING as an "Unforgivable Sin" in this lifetime. No such Biblical doctrine... THE SO-CALLED "UNPARDONABLE SIN"...ONE OF SATAN'S GREATEST LIES! 1. Nowhere in the Bible is the term "unpardonable sin" mentioned or used; an "unpardonable sin" towards a person while alive on earth IS NOT a biblical doctrine, and its use is teaching FALSE DOCTRINE. 2. Concerning... “Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." - Matthew 12:31-32 Assumption; the root of many false doctrines; Jesus DID NOT SAY the sin against the Holy Spirit was UNFORGIVABLE, He said; "it shall not be forgiven him" ...either in this age or in the age to come." Why would it not be forgivable? Are not all sins forgivable? The answer is simple; a person who has spoken against the Holy Spirit (i.e.; REJECTED THE HOLY SPIRIT), and if therefore has a permanently hardened heart, WILL NOT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS because of the hardness of their heart. The sin of speaking against the Holy Spirit would remain UNFORGIVEN, BUT NOT UNFORGIVABLE FOR ANYONE ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS. God cuts them off and turns them over to a hardened heart, but that DOES NOT MEAN that the sin against the Holy Spirit was "UNFORGIVABLE." If I bought you a are car and handed you the keys and I said "it's yours, drive it anywhere you want." If you refused to drive it, IT IS NOT UNDRIVEABLE because you didn't drive it, but it would remain UNDRIVEN by you because you refused to drive it. A BIG DIFFERENCE! NO SIN, INCLUDING SPEAKING AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS ACTUALLY UNFORGIVABLE... "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound," - Romans 5:20 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9 A person has a hardened heart when, or after, they reject the Holy Spirit over and over again (possibly even after one time...only God knows). When their heart has rejected God (rejected the Holy Spirit) too many times, they risk a heart that can no longer say YES to the Holy Spirit, thus, in effect, in their heart, they speak against the Holy Spirit and CANNOT ask for forgiveness. Does God cut certain people off? YES!... "And the LORD said, My spirit SHALL NOT always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." - Genesis 6:3 Jeremiah 7:15-16 - "And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." Hosea 4:17 - "Ephraim is joined to idols, Let him alone. Their drink is rebellion, They commit harlotry continually. Her rulers dearly love dishonor." "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" - Romans 1:28 NOTE: "God gave them over to a reprobate mind" ...GOD CUT THEM OFF, GOD GAVE THEM OVER to a reprobate mind. IN John 12:39 NOTICE THE WORDS "COULD NOT," not "would not," BUT "COULD NOT."... They had hardened hearts making it IMPOSSIBLE to believe on Jesus Christ. They had, in their hearts, spoken against the Holy Spirit making it for them IMPOSSIBLE to ask for forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come. John 12:39... "Therefore they COULD NOT believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." Just as it was prophesied that it would happen... "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him." - John 12:40-41 Speaking against the Holy Spirit is REJECTING the Holy Spirit to the point where God will cut a person off and NO LONGER STRIVE WITH THAT PERSON. It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that if you have even the SLIGHTEST desire or inkling toward God YOU HAVE NOT COMMITTED THE SO CALLED "unpardonable sin" because it's not an unpardonable sin, NO SIN IS UNPARDONABLE IN THIS LIFETIME!

[@spacegeneral8630]

Hebrews 10 TIES INTO jesus' statement. To understand WHY blasphemy of the holy spirit is unforgivable, we must first understand hebrews 10: the scripture says that continuing in unbelief is terrible. They say apostasy is condemnable after learning of the truth, as in they say "once baptized and assured christhood, how does one return to ignorance. They are refusing the father, son AND holy spirit. They refrence a certain blasphemy ("insult the spirit of grace"), and they use it in a context of wrongful rejection. The pharisees rejected the truth after being shown. THAT'S WHY HE SAID "all blasphemies and sins will be forgiven but the blasphemy of the holy spirit won't be. AN ABUSE OF THE TRUTH "spirit is truth" WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY THE TRINITY.

I am sorry for all my sins that I can recall and those that I can't recall. I want to do better, however after the crazy life I have tried to live, I feel so far and astray that I am the sheep that doesn't belong with the flock... Like Peter, I'm just a stupid man...

I felt like I committed this sin. I was in a state where I was pretty much upset that why were we made if god knew we'd fail and I was asking him this I'm not gonna lie. I felt like because I asked him this and questioned him that I committed this sin. I remember shadowboxing(yes as in fighting) that I was fighting both Jesus and Satan. I thought about and truly imagined I kicked Jesus away and punch Satan in the face and from there on I was just idek. Later throughout those days I asked God to forgive me and that I was sorry. I didn't ask God to forgive that same day and I don't know if because I waited a couple of days for forgiveness that,did I create this sin?

Today they were trying to tell me the intrusive thoughts ment I blasphemed the and for a second I tried to silence them by thinking "if I were to intentionally try to blaspheme the holy spirit it'd look like this" and for a split second I was about to intentionally think the thought "I blaspheme the holy spirit" and mean it but I stopped myself before the thought was complete. I was still scared because I wondered if the intention to do it for a split second itself counted as doing it.

Blaspheming the Spirit is thus a failure to repent and ally oneself with Jesus. Since this can always be done during one's life (cf. 20:1-15), blasphemy against the Holy Spirit must be a final refusal to repent, or final impenitence. I saw this on Catholic site And It is Also in Catholic Teaching Should be Final Impenitence That is Refusing God’s mercy Even to Your last breath, I recommend you ask Good Catholic Priest in Confession, he can help you

Meaning God is love and His love is eternal forgiveness beyond space and time bcos our soul is eternal not subject to time. My question is very sensitive and it needs broad answer and my question is IF THE SOUL WAS IN HELL AND HE REPENTS, HE REGRETS WHAT HE HAD DONE AND GOD'S FORGIVENESS... NOW WILL GOD OR THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL FORGIVE HIM?" Kindly explain and expound your answer and take time and make it complete not subjective relative answer. Thanks a lot.

[@melitonrioferio5444]

If any Priest or CatholicLifeTV Admin cannot answer my inquiry, never mind just ignore it. Thanks

[@CatholicLifeTV]

Thanks for the question. You are right that God does desire all to be saved. So, a soul that is in hell is not there because God desires it to be there, but because the soul chose to turn away from God. When our life ends we are no longer in time, therefore we no longer have “time” to repent.”

[@melitonrioferio5444]

@@CatholicLifeTV, I did not understand your answer bcos it was not properly explained and not clear when you said "the soul is hell is not there", maybe you mean the soul that is in hell, right? Secondly, you said the soul, in his/her end has no time to repent, I beg to disagree bcos I had experienced my relatives, my parents in their last hour they pray and ask for forgiveness to God before they depart their temporary body. Thirdly, you mentioned that the fallen soul chose hell, meaning full knowledge, right? But how can be in knowledge when the fallen soul was blinded, deluded by illusion and by the darkness of ignorance? That is why when one committed a mortal sin, the soul destiny is in hell, he is blinded, deceived cheated by Satan, deluded by illusion. And repentance and regrets always comes in the last not when we committed a sin, realization always comes in the end,right? In the parable in the Bible, Luke 16:28 that the rich man repents and tell Abraham to warn his 5 brothers so that they will not come to that place of torments. Again, he repents. Question: if God desires everyone to be saved, how can we reconcile that there is no mercy for those who repent after the death of their temporary body even when they are in hell? My I ask any Priest to give their comments bcos it seems that your version is not from the Church Magisterium version, you did not give any reference from Magisterium but only your own opinion and interpretation like what the Protestants are doing they keep on speculating concocting interpreting without proper guidance from Church Magisterium Authority.

Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

Only one. John 3:18. Believers are no longer condemned, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, (First Corinthians 15:1-4) for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVETH to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Acts 16:31. John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that BELIEVETH on me HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Romans 3:26-28 There will be no boasting in heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved, through Faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.

I believe its not correct. All those who blaspheme jesus can still be forgiven but not so for the sin against holy spirit. Pls seek the Holy Spirit n he will enlighten

[@abrahamphilip6439]

Grieving the Holy Spirit. Grieving the Holy Spirit comes by certain acts, which amounts to enslaving the spirits. For Sodom by their acts , their spirits cried out to God & God utterly destroyed the flesh Even as the men of Sodom (souls) chained for Judgement just as the angels who left first estate, another act that grieved the Spirit. Now loosed a little & they take many with them. For warned Jesus " Remember Lots wife, not just to Sodom but COMPLACENCY towards, for a complacent one is already a Sodomite reserved for Condemnation/Judgement . Even as over 70 % of the population of America which Biblically, Prophetically and Spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, are in.

Nothing is outside of God. Our bodies, our breath, our thoughts and our souls all exist within God. There is nothing in Creation that is unknown, or even surprising, to God. He does not “control” us, because He has given us free choice, but He knows all, He hears all, and He Loves all.

6:17 Your example I think the writer shows a comparison and highlights to mark Jesus as Christ; however, trinity doctrine holds the personas as different, and one as Not the other so blaspheming Jesus at the cross is no good for the Unforgiveable sin mention not only that Jesus is not the Holy Spirit/ Holy Ghost [and not that the Trinity doctrine is sound], but that Jesus explicitly covers that even mocking the person of Jesus is not unforgiveable--Matthew 12: 32...you have to keep the distinctions and not phone it in. They are not interchangeable, although if they are all equal in the same substance-'though what substance and where is God in the substance because God is spirit and the three are intimated to be God but it doesn't seem to say so.-this aside Let's switch them out and see how wrong you are to say Jesus is not the holy spirit but Jesus, the HS, and God the father are one [but they are not because they are often distinct in separateness --Jesus' water baptism they were together in the scene yet they were Not one. Revelation the lamb as if slain took the book with seven seals sealed from the one on the throne...God is with Jesus yet God is Not Jesus. And to continue as you would have it--interchangeable; then, God, the Father is crucified and dies on the cross, now you've killed God the one God who cannot die. Although you just killed Christianity's validity-Ernie Moore Jr. Consider three councilpersons, each with the same powers and authority, yet the whistle blows and they go to different homes with different families and live differently and have different lives--they are one in Authority but they have distinct functions although one in Purpose, Power is delegated to better do the Work and all that is to be done-they each have their own delegated responsibilities with the same level of authority.-Ernie Moore Jr. You need a different example of someone committing the referred to so-called unforgivable sin. Jesus might have the Holy Ghost [which was given-up on the cross after a yell that quickened the dead], might might be assisted by, might be with the Holy Ghost yet Jesus is not himself that. Jesus is Not the Holy Spirit nor the Holy Ghost.-Ernie Moore Jr.

[@christophersnedeker2065]

Not necessarily, the holy spirit is a witness and the blaspheme against the holy spirit is the permanent decision to deliberately reject the truth it witnesses to. It's called an eternal sin, not a momentary one.

[@SarahHodgins]

Not exactly...you have to be really against the Lord like the Pharisees were and be unwilling to repent

[@B.S._Lewis]

That doesn't make sense. Once you commit a sin you've committed a sin. Unpardonable means no amount of repentance will grant forgiveness after crossing the point of no return of committing the sin.

[@amyyennguyen]

Where in the bible does it EXPLICITLY state the words 'unpardonable' or 'unforgivable'? These are man made terms. Plus, this isn't a single sin itself, rather it is a condition of the heart. Remember that the scripture cannot be broken, and God's word does not contradict itself. There's many verses that support that we are cleansed from ALL sin and righteousness. It doesn't make sense that Jesus would die on the cross for all sins and then make an exception for one sin. What blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, is not one single sin that is committed in a whim, but rather it is having a hardened hard that constantly resists the Holy Spirit. You don't have to think very hard, why would God make the 'unpardonable sin' so easy to commit? It's not a slip of the tongue, it requires defiant irreverence against God up until the day you die.

[@husq48]

The Unforgiveable Sin is that grave sin one fails to confess... that is the sin one knows but refuses to confess. God cannot forgive that which one will not confess.

[@prince2132]

This is false teaching. If you sin against Holy Spirit then you have no forgiveness either now or in future. Jesus said it plainly but you like people make it complex and twist the word of God for your sake. Sin against Holy Spirit is very serious. Jesus Himself told if you make fun of Jesus its forgivable but if you make fun of the Holy Spirit present in Jesus you will not be forgiven either now or in future. Jesus with the help of HS healed that person. But some made fun of the HS saying its demon. This is why Jesus told to them instantly that those people have no forgiveness. In the old testament blasphemy of God is very serious and they are killed instantly and in the same way blasphemy of HS is very serious too.
