If u read Deutronomy and Leviticus, the are punishments attached to sins one commits depending on the gravity of their sins. E.g An adulterous man or woman caught in the act, would be stoned to death.
In those two books, that’s only for harlots who wouldn’t let their fathers collect brideprice for “giving their bodies to men”. If she isn’t a harlot, then brideprice would be collected and case solved.. If she was married, then it’s an offense to the husband who has paid bride price, even if it was rape.

In the OT woman was seen as a property or mere object, the act didn’t even matter, whether married, unmarried, forced or consensual, only the brideprice. So say something else.

By grieveing Him, quenching Him, Blaspheming Him. Don't even go there. It's damn dangerous. The punishment, sorrow attacted to Sinning against the HolySpirit is inescapable. That was why Jesus warned those accused Him of using Satanic Power to wrought miracles of sinning against the HolySpirit. The Sin against the HolySpirit is unforgiveable.

Hmmm, so the sins are:
1. Lying to, or Testing the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3, 9);
2. Resisting the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51);
3. Quenching the Holy Spirit (1Thes. 5:19 – extinguish, suppress, stifle, thoroughly neglecting the operations of the Holy Spirit);
4. Grieving the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30 – offending the Holy Spirit, making him sad or sorrowful);
5. Insulting the Holy Spirit (Heb. 10:29 – outraging the Spirit of grace, persistent sinning with full knowledge and no desire to repent);
6. Blaspheming the Spirit (Mat.12:31-32 – ascribing the work of the Holy Spirit to the Devil, rejecting the testimony of the Holy Spirit. It also connotes speaking evil of the Holy Spirit and misusing his name.


But all these are sins we all are guilty of. I mean, we all resist the Spirit at one point or the other, we suppress the good thoughts from the Holy Spirit and sin persistently, we blaspheme by saying things we’re ignorant of, about the Holy Spirit, we misuse everything in this world including His name. At the forefront are pastors/preachers most especially, and then people who are not yet Christians also.

So does it mean that God has canceled us already? And we can’t be redeemed?

Sins against The HolySpirit isn't that common. In most cases, we sin against God The Father or God The Son. Jesus warned those folks accusing Him of using Devilish power abt sinning against The HolySpirit. Do u know why? The HolySpirit is the worker of those Healings and Miracles Jesus performed. Now, regarding ur question. We may one way or the other sin against the HolySpirit but Note: When we say, Sinning against the HolySpirit is unforgiveable means that His punishment for sinning against Him is inescapable and no amount of plea would stop it. For example, if a person(just like Ananias Saphira) sins against the HolySpirit and gets killed by Him, that person will be doom after this life but if the person's punishment do not result to physical death, he or she may be spared. Using the Isrealites as a case study. Most times, they grieved the HolySpirit and tested or tempted Him. In some cases, the punishment was death. I.e He killed them, in some cases, He only punished them(not physical death although). But don't pray or wish to sin against The HolySpirit because it can be very disastrous. The sad part of it is that, He might decide not to spare u. He might even decide to extend ur suffering as long as He wants. Among The GodHead, He is very, very Special. E.g read abt how He hardened the Heart of Pharaoh because He just wanted to deal with him. And don't even pray or wished that He hates u. In summary, sin against The HolySpirit is unforgiveable. No amount prayer or plea would stop or reverse punishment. And if the punishment is physical death(like Anania and Saphira), that person is doom forever.

It's been a while my princess, lot of them know me but they had a total misconception about me, many even feel i just want to disgrace them whenever i try to TEACH them, that's why i asked him if he wanted man's opinion or Jesus' order.
According to Jesus Christ of Nazareth there is no sin that's unforgivable except sin against God's Holy Spirit! Matthew 12:31-32
This means all other sins are equal before God since they're all FORGIVABLE.
What they need to ask is
What is the sin against God's Holy Spirit?
Or
How can one Sin against the Holy Spirit since we can't see the Holy Spirit?
But i'll reserve the answer since they don't care to know! smiley

because God forgives all sins except the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit
doesn't mean that all sins are equal to God

God would hate a man robbing and shooting another man more that He would hate a man assaulting another man by punching him. and if God is more angry about one sin over another, then all sins are not equal to God etc. etc. etc.

God was more angry with judas betraying Jesus than the sins of many others,
God doesn't have all sinners hang themselves

Pro 6:16  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 
Pro 6:17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 
Pro 6:18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 
Pro 6:19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Who said John19:11?

Jesus answered him: “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been granted to you from above. This is why the man who handed me over to you has greater sin.” John 19:11

All humans are born sinners {Romans 5:12} so Pilate and all of us have inherited sin through Adam, we also sin due to our imperfect state this is why Jesus died to redeem us.
But there is a type of sin that is UNFORGIVABLE {Matthew 12:31-32} this is the sin that both Pilate and Caiaphas committed.
Pilate (a Roman governor) is convinced that Jesus did nothing worthy of death yet he gave way to the pressure from the Jews {Matthew 27:24-26} but Caiaphas committed the greatest sin in the history of imperfect humans because himself and all the members of first century Jewish high Court knew very well that Jesus was the promised Messiah (Christ) as he performed everything the scriptures said about the Messiah. But because of their own position in the politics among the Jews they conspired to have Jesus killed despite the fact that Nicodemus keep asking them rhetorical questions evident that Jesus hasn't done anything worthy of their evil schemes! John 7:50-51

Please read the below and see how Caiaphas the high priest that year committed the UNFORGIVABLE sin!

So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Sanʹhe·drin together and said: “What are we to do, for this man performs many signs?  If we let him go on this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” But one of them, Caʹia·phas, who was high priest that year, said to them: “You do not know anything at all, and you have not reasoned that it is to your benefit for one man to die in behalf of the people rather than for the whole nation to be destroyed.” He did not say this, however, of his own originality, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation, and not only for the nation but also to gather together into one the children of God who were scattered about. So from that day on they conspired to kill him. John 11: 47-53

So my friend we are still saying the same thing, the one and only sin that's greater than others is the sin against God's Holy Spirit. Everything Jesus did was backed up by the spirit of the God of the Jews and they all attested to it {John 11:47} their move to stop the works Jesus is doing wasn't against the man Jesus rather it was against the spirit of their God working through Jesus! Matthew 12:31-32

Do u find it difficult comprehending a simple English Language? Why avoiding the point: The one who handed me over to u have the greater sin? U said All sins are equal, i just proved it to u they aren't equal from that Scripture. When u sin against God the Father or The Son, u may be forgiven but not against The HolySpirit. Even in the Old testament, Leviticus and Deut, mentioned punishments based on the gravity of sins committed. All sins are not equal but all sins are the same. I'm talking abt gravity of sins and u are talking abt something different.

I want you to know this first that the one and only innocent blood ever shed on this planet is the blood of Christ Jesus, apart from Jesus we are all sinners {Romans 5:12} and the wages of sin is death! Romans 6:23

That's why Apostle Paul was forgiven despite killing Stephen, both Paul and Stephen were born sinners so their death is certain whether through murder or old age they will die.

As for Annanais and Saphira they sinned against God's Holy Spirit that's why the Holy Spirit struck them dead. The Apostles gave their consent to the idea raised by some brothers in the first century Christian congregation so whoever is not OK with that idea shouldn't join in the arrangement but the couple pretended as if they're ready to participate then they lied not to man but God's Holy Spirit that's working in the congregation of God!
So their sin is weightier than that of Paul who shed innocent blood thinking he's working for God! smiley

Re: All Sins Are Not Equal. by ochibuogwu5: 11:09am On Aug 15, 2022
Sin is produced by the flesh, all sin leads to eternal death (hell-fire) thus
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

According to human beings, effects of sin varies hence the classification of sin but not in the eyes of God because with God, all sin is produced by the flesh

*Anybody* who commits any type of degree or quantity of sin is *a slave to sin and a slave to sin does not have any permanent position in the household (Christ/Eternal-Life/Heaven) of God*
Thus
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.


All forms of unrighteousness is *wickedness before God*
thus
1 John 5:17 *All unrighteousness is sin:* and there is a sin not unto death.


*Any human being* who commit sin *is not born of God* just like Jesus never committed sin from His conception till His ascension; the same Jesus lives in our new creation life by faith in His death on the Cross of Calvary and His resurrection life as born-again hence we have the duty to yield to HIM to express HIMSELF through our whole being (spirit, soul, body and circumstances) fresh each second by faith and the help of His Holy Spirit
Thus
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.


Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?


This every second submission to the person of Jesus Christ Crucified to express HIMSELF through our whole being is done *by faith through the help of the Holy Spirit* and it is *the actual application of the Power of Jesus death on the Cross of Calvary and His resurrection Power in our daily faith-walk with God* which Jesus defined as *carrying our CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOWING HIM*
thus
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.


2 Corinthians 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

This daily application of the Cross of Jesus Christ in our daily faith-walk with God is made much real, flexible and achievable through the *overflowing provisions of Jesus mercy and grace*
Thus
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, *I will have mercy, and not sacrifice*: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.


Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, *that He might have mercy upon all.*


Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, *which according to HIS ABUNDANT MERCY hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead*, 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.


1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

In the bible passage above, a sin not unto death depicts *a sin someone commits while still alive* which is still forgivable hence we can pray for such a person and share the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified with him/her then restore such a person to reconcile with God while a sin unto death is a sin that a person commits until biological death *without repentance* hence such a person does not need any prayers because he/she had condemned himself or herself
thus
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: *but he that believeth not is condemned already*, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: *and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.*



Sin against the Holy Spirit is just like continuing in sin till biological death, this is because God refusing to forgive any human being who repents of any type of sin while on this earth contradicts the purpose of sacrificing His Son on the Cross to *redeem all mankind from sin* thus "This is the grace of God; that Jesus tested death for every human being" (Hebrews 2:9)

And Matthew 9:13 we have seen previously where Jesus states His purpose of coming to this earth which is *to bring sinners to repentance*


Jesus warning about sin against the Holy Spirit is that *such a person denies himself/herself the capacity to believe in the responsibility of God that helps any human being to respond to God's forgiving-ability* while still wearing this our earthly body having been given the privilege of hearing the gospel hence such a person has condemned himself already (John 3:18 and John 3:36). This is because the coming of Jesus in the human body and His gospel has brought human being into a full contact of the Holy Spirit expression without measure thus
John 3:34 For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: *for God giveth not the Spirit BY MEASURE unto HIM.*


The people in the old testament had encounter with the Holy Spirit *in a measure* and the gospel and the coming of Jesus Christ Crucified was given to them *in signs and types and shadows* hence even in their graves which is the world beyond this our earthly existence they still had the privilege of hearing the gospel preached to them by Jesus which brought them access to God's mercy and forgiveness thus
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 3:19 *By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;* 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.


1 Peter 4:6 *For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead,* that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.


Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, *He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.* 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)


So the reality of God to forgive sin beyond this age/world is making reference to those who did not have a face-to-face encounter with Jesus Christ Crucified, His gospel and the Holy Spirit current dispensation which is unlimited in expression like miracles, convicting the human heart and drawing souls to personal encounter with Jesus Christ Crucified without any preacher(Holy Spirit without measure) because the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified is the *only standard by which God brings any human being to righteousness* hence He will be unjust to judge any human being without first giving such a person the privilege of encountering this gospel thus
Matthew 24:14 And *this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;* and *then shall the end come.*

It's been a while my princess, lot of them know me but they had a total misconception about me, many even feel i just want to disgrace them whenever i try to TEACH them, that's why i asked him if he wanted man's opinion or Jesus' order.

According to Jesus Christ of Nazareth there is no sin that's unforgivable except sin against God's Holy Spirit! Matthew 12:31-32

This means all other sins are equal before God since they're all FORGIVABLE.
What they need to ask is
What is the sin against God's Holy Spirit?
Or
How can one Sin against the Holy Spirit since we can't see the Holy Spirit?

But i'll reserve the answer since they don't care to know! smiley

Why not answer the question if you're truly a Christian? Jesus said "sin against the holy spirit is unforgivable" {Matthew 12:31-32} and an interested follower asked:

Instead of answering him you started blabbing:

OK i answered:
MaxInDHouse:

And instead of giving the correct answer if i'm wrong you turn the whole thing into a joke.

Chinonye is right, you have no idea on how to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ:

Jesus said:
"teaching them" Matthew 28:20

In what way are you a Christian if you can't answer the question an interested person asked regarding what Christ said? smiley
