Few days ago i was with some Christians engaged in discussions when one of the men shouted on another to be careful what he is saying before he commits an unpardonable sin. That touched me and that is why i wish members of this forum to help by explaining in detail what constitutes an unpardonable sin.

I think it is sinning against the Holy Spirit or something.

If the OP were another person, I would have replied saying what I believe. But I have known ogoamaka99 to be a troublemaker, so let me chill on the thread a bit.

unpardonable sin is sin against the Holy Spirit.
Read Matthew 12: 31, 32.

@alexleo
You answered correctly as someone has told me BUT HOW CAN SOMEONE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT?.

unpardonable sin would be falling for the christian belief structure. It is certainly an insult to intelligence

the christian god is supposed to be like an old girlfriend I had who wouldn't let me end our relationship on a happy note. He gets really bitter if you break up with him. "Really God, it's not you, it's me. . . "

I guess I didn't get the memo

There is one sin that a person will never be forgiven for a sin so great so huge in magnitude that there is no pardon just eternal punishment and doom in hellfire what is this unpardonable sin ? SHIRK which means to associate partners with Allah and a good example of this blasphemy is the trinity

That means my VISA to HELL is stamped for all eternity then is it not

Here are the sins against the Holy Spirit that cannot be forgiven-

When one has experienced the power of God to save from sin and later turns back to say that there is nothing like salvation or begin to practice atheism. But let me quickly add that an atheist who was born into a christian family and did not experience the power of God to save from sin in his life before becoming an atheist still has a chance to be saved. If you check you will discorver that atheists who were once truly born again christians are far worse than those who never experienced born again and they hardly think of repentance when once they ve reached that stage. Because their conscience has been sealed. But those who went into atheism without any record of ever being saved has the chance. I have seen a lot of them repent, we have a lot of them in my church too.
when one who was once born again turn around to say that the bible is a lie, that there is no God or does not believe in the trinity.
when a pastor or a christian says that the Holy spirit told him something when in the actual sense the Holy spirit did not tell him anything. For example, If a pastor comes out and announce to his members that the Holy spirit told him that all of you should make a 1000 naira offering when actually the Holy spirit did not say anything or those of them that has prayer houses who tells people that the Holy spirit said you should buy this and that when in the actual sense the Holy spirit did not say anything.
when someone speakes in tongue that is not of the Holy spirit and claims his speaking in tongues is of the Holy Spirit.
When someone uses the occultic power to do miracle and claims its from the Holy spirit.
When someone claims the Holy Spirit revealed something to him when in the actual sense the Holy spirit did not reveal anything.
Generally when you lie against the Holy spirit by claiming what he did not tell you or reveal to you.
When one makes a carricature of the Holy spirit or the bible because it is written that all that is written in the scriptures came from the Holy Spirit.
Finally, let me say that God has a way of doing his judgement and his mercies endureth forever. If any man comes to him in a repentant heart, I believe he will forgive but from what we see, People who has reach that level of sining against the Holy spirit usually die in sin because their heart is so much hardened that their is no room for repentance. It happens.

@Alexleo
As long as you do not allow your zeal becloud your message, you are not a bad poster after all

The sure way you can commit unpardonable sin from your explanation is by rejecting the identity of the Holy Spirit to a point that you die in that state of rejection. (which makes sense, how can you repent when you are dead)

Besides, I'd say it is impossible to once be 'born again' and then choose against this. It is impossible. It is like living in Siberia for seven years and just out of the blue decide that Siberia does not, never had and never will exist.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

The sin which the Pharisees had been committing was that of maliciously and stubbornly ascribing to Satan those works which they well knew could only be performed by divine power.

Blasphemy!!

Tell me, how can someone purposely knowingly ascribe to the devil what one believes to be God's? I don't get it. Plus let's not forget the dudes are priests and they couldn't have thought things like the devil is as powerful as God.

MURDER, [i][/i]

[b]Yes, it is possible to knowingly ascribe God's work to the devil. The pharisees and Saducees wanted the people to remain enslaved to religion, following the law to the letter and not by the spirit. Have you not read how they only put on holiness for show? They were hypocrites. They knew by what power Jesus was performing those miracles but were not happy that he did not do things their own way. He ate with sinners and tax collectors; the Pharisees and Saducees wouldn't. They were burdened people with religious practices and prevented from having a proper relationship with God. They were standing in the door of heaven and preventing others from going in. They were envious that the power of God was being manifested in someone that did not do things their own way and tried to discredit what the work of God that was being done through him! Many people today knowingly discredit God's work because they hate, envy or disapprove of the people through whom the work is done or want to keep others enslaved![/b]
