Jesus said no man (or woman) can come to me except my Father draw him. John 6:44. If God is calling you then you can repent. Blasphemy of the holy spirit won't be forgiven. God would respect someone who questioned His existence but then proved it more so then someone who just say they believe it just cause they were taught it. Hang in there your on the right track!

Yes. There are absolute, eternal laws that exist in the universe. You break them at your own peril.

In the Christian Bible, yes and no\nYES: Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10, blaspheme against the Holy Ghost \nNO: Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things. \nDon't know of other religions having an unforgivable sin

Some will call this a contradiction.  It is not.\nJesus says that God forgives all sins, but one (though I believe it is two).  The one Jesus references is to sin against the Holy Spirit, which is God.  I also believe suicide is unforgivable, as you are murdering and cannot ask forgiveness for it.\n\nPeter says that through Christ, you can be forgiven things that Moses' law could not forgive.  Tell me where Moses' law talks about sinning against the Holy Spirit.  It does not.\n\nClear?  You have to read the words...not the footnotes or interpretations.

It would be a sin if I was religious, which i'm not. Anyway, I wouldn't care, because I wasn't the direct cause of the "murder". If I unknowingly caused a chain of events leading to a "death", it would be considered an accident, not murder. It's all about intentions.

Yes, Somewhere along the way some people have been misled about the 10 Commandments...They are not unforgivable sins..everyone has and/or will break one or all of them. All we have to do is repent (admit we were wrong, ask forgiveness and make an honest effort not to do it anymore...\nWhere does this belief come from? I had a friend tell me he would never be in heaven because he had broken one of the 10 commandments...God knew when he created them we are not perfect, they were meant to show us our sin so we could repent.

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.

Temptation itself is not a sin.  Giving into that temptation is a sin. God gave us free choice.  We are free to make bad choices and therefore free to sin.  God is perfect but we are not.....)(

Jesus made the answer to your question clear when he said "all manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven among men.....(Matt.Ch.12 V31-32 being blasphemy against the Holy Ghost which involved a 2 fold Heavenly witness)as this is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness, then suicide is forgivable. Hope this helps.

Good morning God_shew!\n\n1. If we not not aware of someone's sins, then there is no way to actively forgive them...However, we should always have the spirit of forgiveness, and be ready to forgive...\n\n2.Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is not referring to parental or governmental authority.  It is referring to calling the Holy Ghost the devil...and accusing the Holy Ghost of being evil...\n\n3. There is only one Jesus Christ, but it was predicted that false Christs would appear. God will only forgive due to Jesus Christ, no false christ will move God to act\n\n4. an unpurged conscience is necessary for spiritual freedom and release from bondage...this is the job of the Holy Spirit...we cannot have perfect faith in God and continue in sin we have not repented of....but we should have a heart that is ready to repent, and be open to the wisdom of the Holy Spirt, and he will lead us into the truth..\n\n5. If we have charity (love) in our heart for both God and our fellow man, God will help us remove any problems with unforgiveness...God understands our hearts, and helps us with our mistakes...God's love inside us will motivate us to repent of sin, and then we will be free from law of sin and death...

It would forever bother me not to try something new and even later on fail, which I could overcome and accept, than not to have tried at all.\n\nIt can be the greatest sin of all. The sin of regret.

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......

God would never command such a sinful act that pleases you so selfishly from His people.\n\nPeace.

any one of the 7 deadly sins, or to disobey any one of the 10 Commandments. And then there is the sin that can't be forgiven, the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit ( which happens after probably a life time of indifference to God). Also, participation in the black arts would be a sin.

"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven" (Matt. 12:31). What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Why is this an unpardonable sin? \n\nWhat is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit?\nThe word blasphemy (blasphemia), "impious and reproachful speech injurious to the divine majesty" (Thayer), in this context denotes an attitude of "defiant irreverence." The scribes who accused Jesus were guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit because they defied the truth. They treated his miracles with something worse than indifference; they blasphemously attributed them to Satan. They were like those condemned by Isaiah the prophet (5:20): "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Philo thus commented that those who blaspheme against the divine and ascribe the origin of evil to God and not man can expect no forgiveness. By accusing Jesus of being in league with Satan when he was really acting through the power of the Holy Spirit, they had blasphemed the Spirit, hardening their hearts against the Spirit's influence. \n\nWhy is This an Unpardonable Sin?\nJesus said that every other sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven. "And whoever shall speak 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 . . ." (Matt. 12:32). Christ referred to himself as the "Son of Man" to emphasize his humanity. To speak evil words against Jesus as a man working among men, though deplorable, was an evil that could be forgiven. The Son of Man in his earthly ministry was as liable to misunderstanding and ill treatment by others as any new messenger. When the source of evil speaking against Christ is ignorance, misconception, or ill-informed prejudice, then that blasphemy is as pardonable as any sin. Men could repent of their careless neglect of his work or their mistaken opposition to it, and when they did repent, they were forgiven. There are many examples in the New Testament of people who first opposed Jesus but later turned to accept him. Peter, perhaps through fear, denied Jesus in his hour of trial (Mark 14:71-72), but he found forgiveness, and when he was restored he was able to strengthen others (Luke 22:31-32). Paul marveled at the mercy extended to him even though he had been "a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor" (1 Tim.1: 12-16, emphasis mine, dwp). The apostle described himself as the "chief of sinners" to show, in fact, the perfect patience of Christ as the Savior of all. \n\nThe person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, how ever, places himself beyond the reach of forgiveness. This is true because the Holy Spirit is the agent in the revelation of divine truth (2 Sam. 23:2; John 15:26; 16:13; Eph. 6:17; 2 Pet. 1:21). It is only through the work of the Spirit that we come to know of God, our sins, the atonement provided through Christ, and our need for repentance and obedience. Blasphemy against the Spirit is unforgivable because its source is a heart of malice, selfish preference of wrong over right and evil over good, and a willful refusal to believe. The Pharisees had revealed that their hearts were evil, and Jesus called them a "brood of vipers" (Matt. 12:34). Such a perverse spirit consciously and deliberately rejects the truth and thus the salvation it brings. "Either in this age, or in the age to come" (Matt.12:32) simply means "never." In Mark's account, Jesus called it an "eternal sin" (3:29). As long as a person persists in this state, genuine repentance is impossible. There is no room in this person's heart for penitence, which is a prerequisite for forgiveness. His sin is unpardonable simply because he is unwilling to trav
