Question about the unforgivable sin!?
110180
Jesus actually said:\nMatthew 12:30-32\n30 Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters.\n31 Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.\n32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.\n\nSo Blasphemy is not the unforgivable sin, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.\nBlasphemy of the Holy Spirit is:\n1) Seeing the Works of God, and attributing them to Satan.\n2) Constantly refusing to allow God access to your heart and life (refusing to admit your constant need for God's grace and mercy, freely provided through Jesus Christ).\n\nIf you are still worried about whether or not you have committed the unforgivable sin - You haven't yet! It's when you no longer care whether you have or not!

My friend,  the thief on the cross next to Jesus was told that he would be in paradise that very day with the LORD so yes.....those that have committed  horrible crimes can and will be forgiven if they sincerely repent.  GOD does however know if they are indeed sincere.  \n\nJohn 3:16 says "whosoever"  There are no exceptions given.  This goes along with...God is not willing for ANY to perish but for ALL to come to repentance...again there are no exceptions. \n\nOne word of caution....we are not promised a tomorrow and according to Hebrews 9:27 we have one life and after this the judgment so do not count on a second chance or waiting until the last moment so you can "enjoy" life until then......

I do not think so..I believe that there is no sin in this world that cannot be forgiven..as long as you believe in yourself that you are repenting for those sins..and even so..The big man above is really forgiving and he loves us all no matter what..

It depends on what you mean by cursing God.  If, by that, you mean inserting the word "God" before an explative (it doesn't have to be profane), no.  Although that is a sin (using the Lord's name in vain), it is not blasphemy against God, which is the only unforgivable sin defined in the bible.\n\nBlasphemy against Jesus is a sin, but even that is forgivable (Mathew 12;31-32).\n\n"31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."\n\nBlasphemy against the Holy Spirit would be something akin to declaring that the Holy Spirit (God) is actually Satan, or one of his demons.  Or saying that God is evil.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,\n \nThere is only one sacrifice that was made for our sins,and that was Jesus on the cross. Those who think that becoming saved gives them a free ride to sin all they want are total and complete fools.\n\nYou say that you read your bible, This too is one of the scriptures that you will eventually come to read.\n\n Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.\n \nWhen Jesus said "Go and sin no more" That means if you have repented of a sin, you know that it is wrong and un rightous in the eyes of the Lord. You have acknowledged it as such. So why on earth would you go out and re commit the same sin that you have acknowledged to Jesus as being unrightous in His eyes? His love and  mercy is pricless as is His forgivness that came with a price that He paid and not one that you or I paid.\n\nYour question makes a person wonder if you even understood what the commitment and covenant that you make with Jesus, when or if you become born again, and accepted Jesus as your savior really means. It means "Go and sin no more".

Now you are free to live and full and happy unimpaired life. \n\nEnjoy it my friend.\n\nAll a person has to do is look at a child and you can blatantly see right there in front of you that the child is innocent. Right from their little toes to the tips of their hair. Seriously...Original sin?\n\nYou really think God (if he exists) would be that mean as to start us off in life with a ticket to hell that can only be reversed by baptism...So what happens to all the babies who die in childbirth, or coat death before they can be baptized...Are they burning in hell?\n\nCause if they are, then that just furthers my conviction that if there is a God, he's a megalomaniac bully with a *cough* 'God-complex'...Yes I did just pull that pun, see me I'm funny...right?

If someone pays my fine, even if I do not like that person, then the government can no longer demand payment from me.  If Jesus paid my debt, then God can no longer demand it from me.  How could God still punish sinners after Jesus died for us all\n\nThe Bible says that Jesus was a ransom sacrifice who died to set us free (Mark 10:45).  Is this ransom paid to God or to the Devil?  If to God, then why did God kill his own son to set us free when he could have just set us free and keep his son?  If the ransom was paid to the devil, then how could the devil be on such great bargaining terms with God to demand his very son?\n\n\nThe question arises that Can't God just forgive Christians and not have to kill Jesus? \n\n\nthe expected answers will be here i.e. "love , love, because of love".... \n\nhow about this love of God ...\n"O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?- Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together." (QURAN 82:6-8)\n["Say: "O my Servants who have excessively wronged their own souls, despair not of God's Mercy: for God forgives all sins for He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.\nTurn to your Lord (for forgiveness) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that you shall not be helped." (Quran 39:53-54.)]\n\n(QURAN 85.14) "He ( Allah ) is the Forgiving, the Loving, And He is the Oft-Forgiving Full of loving-kindness"\n\nonly Islam has solutions for the problems raised above.\n\nAllah knows best

Galatians 2:17\n17"If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!\n\nSIN.\n\nThe Point of it all is SIN, and yes Sin is serious! We need Christ's forgiveness!

There is only one unforgivable sin and that is rejecting Jesus Christ.  "He who has the Son has life and he who does not have the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him" (Jesus Christ) That is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit when you reject the message that the Holy Spirit is here to share with the whole world.

The bible says there is only one unforgiveable sin.  Blasphemy of the holy spirit....which is the utter rejection of God and His son.  If a person was a believer in Christ as his savior, his salvation was not negated that day if he chose to jump out the hundreth floor of the world trade center, rather than wait to be burned to death.  My heart still goes out to those people, thinking about them.\n\nHow you die does not determine your eternal fate.  Who you say Jesus is, determines your eternal fate.

The REAL issue is this: if God made us, and doesn't want us to sin, then he must have made a mistake, because according to christians, we do sin. If God did make us right, then sends us to hell for being imperfect, when he's the one who made us that way, then he's a sadistic a-hole. \n\nSo which one is he, incompetent or sadistic?\n\nMaybe there's a third option. There's no such thing as sin. Everything we go through down here is a lesson to learn.

What a wonderful question.....NO!!!....Sin is something that although is inherited from our forefather, is totally against all the God stands for.  To me, people who think that repentance gives them the right to continue living the way they want as opposed to the way the Bible says we should are living in deep denial..........What's the sense in asking for forgiveness if you're just going to turn around and repeat the offense again....Also, how sincere is an apology when you continue to repeat the same behaviors that you apologized for in the first place?

Hi Rodney. Good evening/day.Very good subject! First of all, in case anyone does not know what sin is, let's define it.  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. or MKJV- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness-1John 3:4. Myself included, we need to ensure that we know what sin is so that we can be sincerely repentant and strive to not commit sins. You are correct everyone sins, that is why Jesus - the perfect Son of God who was sinless died for our sins and rose from the dead. Second, the word rapture is not in the Bible. Jesus will return to raise the dead and claim those of us who are saved. John 3:13 says  -And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. May God Bless  you.

DEFINITELY!!!\n\nWe are told in Matthew that we are turned over to the tormentors\nwhen we refuse to forgive. \n\nPeace of mind is impossible, if we are holding unforgiveness in our hearts.

flatlinzreborn is right. The first sin was disobeying God. Regardless of what that fruit was.

What is sin?  \n\nSin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).  \n\nWhen we sin, we transgress the law, break one of the ten commandments.  We cannot perfectly keep the ten commandments using only our human effort and will power.  That is the reason for grace (unmerited pardon) which allows us to recieve salvation as a gift by grace through faith.  It is a gift we can keep or we can throw away.  Accepting salvation we become the workmanship of Christ created unto good works (Ephesians 2:8-10).  Through faith.  What kind of faith?  There is a dead faith and a live faith.  Faith without works is a dead faith (James 2:26).  \n\nContrary to what commercial Christianity would claim, the commandments have not been abolished.  \n\n"He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him" (1 John 2:4).  \n\nWe will all be rewarded according to our works (Revelation 2:23, 18:6, 20:12, 20:13).
