The Unpardonable Sin?
There is one sin that is unforgivable. Do you know [specifically] what that is? and do you know why?
Was it only available to commit during Jesus lifetime, that sin which the Jewish religious leaders did commit?
So what is the unforgivable sin, and explain it so I understand it clearly.
If you have the full knowledge of who Jesus Christ (by the revelation of the Holy Spirit) and you still reject Jesus...this is the unpardonable sin. Why? Because
(1) you are rejecting the full truth the Spirit has revealed to you, 👉but for the Jewish leaders in the verse you are concerned about... it was that they equated the Holy Spirit (who was IN Jesus) with Satan so they were committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, because what Jesus did was by the Power of the Holy Spirit. If you already have all the truth that God can give you to make a decision about who Jesus is and your response to him, nothing more (knowledge) can be given to you to because there is nothing more.
And also (2) because if one stays in "Unbelief" there is no other possibility for redemption available to you. There is no other redemption available because it is only in Jesus. Those who claim to know Him & "walk away" trample on the blood of Christ.
- “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
- “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all …” (1 Timothy 2:5)
- “… whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:15-16)
(3) if you know the truth about Jesus but wont come to Him to have your sins forgiven, then your sins will remain unforgiven and you will die in your sins, and in "unbelief". Those who are still found in their sins after they died will spend eternity in Hell. This is the truth of Scripture’s revelation. If you refuse to believe, you will die in "unbelief" and damnation is all that awaits.
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned. (Hebrews 6:4-8)
How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29)

Today people are ignorant of what this sin really is, and therefore not committing it, though some would try if they could, but not if they really knew the truth - then they wouldnt! Cause they couldnt! ie. The truth would compel them to come to Christ. :)
So if you feel convicted, if you do not have all knowledge about Jesus, even if you walked away from the church or faith, if it was due to lack of knowledge....there is still hope for you.
Get right with God today, and never turn back
For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a man's misery weighs heavily upon him. Ecclesiastes 8:6
Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul. (Matthew 16:24)
