Why Is It Unforgivable To Sin Against The Holy Spirit by naijaclass(m): 9:04am On Sep 18, 2022
In Christian hamartiology, eternal sins, unforgivable sins, unpardonable sins, or ultimate sins are sins which will not be forgiven by God. One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.


Bible scholars please throw more light to this

Forgiveness lies at the full will and discretion of the offended!

Which is why the Bible counsels that you should not offend anyone, else, you would be in trouble and perish thy own life.

As righteous tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil PURSUETH IT TO HIS OWN DEATH (SELF-CIDE IN LATIN "SUI-CIDE" )

Sin against the Holy Spirit is not the sin many people take it to be. For instance, it is not merely going against God as in not obeying the commandments of God. It is a willing and continual rejection of the Gospel of truth. It is deliberately resisting the commandments of God.

For instance, an evangelist came to you and after your time together you realised that fornication can lead you to hell. Now what are you supposed to do? to keep away from the act, isn't it? But you kept away only for a while and then returned to the act. You have not sinned against the Holy Spirit yet.
But if you continue to live in that sin and death meets you, the sin will not be forgiven. You have sinned against the Holy Spirit.

Let me give you another example of sin against the Holy Spirit in Acts 7:51, it reads,

"You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you"

This statement was made by Stephen to the council of Israel called Sanhedren. From their forefathers till the time they had been killing the people of God for their selfish reasons. They were not ready to change their ways so they resisted the Holy Spirit by their hardheartedness.
It is this hard-heartedness to yield to the Holy Spirit that constitutes sin against the Holy Spirit.

The Lord Jesus Christ told the pharesees that sin against the Father and the Son can be forgiven but sin against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven either in this world or in the world to come, why because such sin is deliberate rejection of the truth, they weren't ready at all to listen let alone repenting from their evil.

Don't get it wrong, there is no sin GOD cannot pardon, sin against the Holy spirit is a sin of deception of oneself, example is Ananias and Sapphire, they deceived themselves, they died instantly, the bible says she that lives in pleasure is death when she is alive, that blasphemy against the holy spirit exactly but self-deception

The unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Blasphemy includes ridicule and attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to the devil.

Some pastors and men of God are guilty of this! They speak and defraud unsuspecting members of the public their hard earned money using holy spirit, saying that the holy spirit said when he didn't.

When you sin against God, his son( Jesus Christ) would beg on our behalf thereby making the sin against God to be forgiveable.

When you sin against Jesus Christ, his blood would beg on our behalf thereby making the sin against Jesus Christ forgiveable.

When you sin against Man, and you pray to God or Jesus Christ for forgiveness, they'll forgive you thereby making the sin against Man forgiveable.

But when you sin against the Holy Spirit, no one would speak on our behalf before the Holy Spirit thereby making the sin against the Holy Spirit unforgivable.

Like someone said earlier and I quote
It is better to believe and later find out that you've been deceived than to ignore and later find out what they've been telling you to be true

Sin against the holy spirit does not mean you start telling the holy spirit your fada naw undecided

The sin against the Holy Spirit is termed blasphemy. The kind of blasphemy is not the one that some people are quick to kill cos someone misspelt the name of their dead god.
It has to do with disregarding or denying the existence or power of the Holy Spirit. Technically, it means you deny the very essence of your salvation and hence, no magic anyone can do to help you.

Religion is a bunch of fairy tales ... Wake up ..imagine you die and missing out on life because you were preparing yourself for the mansions in the sky.

Nah this life we know. Live now.... On your own terms. Disconnect yourself from the collective mind.

You are just acting out your programming thinking you are an individual and a person as the society you were born dictates..

I always love to ask religious people this.... If you were not introduced to your religion from the womb, would you be of the religion you hold so close?.

Yes that was a good rant ! I quiet enjoyed it. Till next time folks.
