Jesus forgives all sins, if you believe in him and ask for forgiveness. Or so Christians say.That is unless you blaspheme against the Holy Spirit by declaring that Jesus' miracles work the work of demons, black magic, or other evil forces.According to Christian doctrine, once you say such a thing, there is no longer any hope of salvation or redemption. You are eternally and irreversibly doomed.So really, shouldn't Christians claim Jesus forgives all sins except one?Can any theology nerds explain why this sin specifically is irredeemable?What happens if an atheist edgelord says it one time but then converts to Christianity 50 years later? Maybe he doesn't even remember he once blasphemed against the Holy Ghost. Is he still doomed? Why does he deserve forgiveness less than a mass murderer or child rapist or cannibal?
>>18362080blasphemy against the holy spirit refers to the act of having a FULL knowledge that you are currently facing God's glory, but still choosing to reject itIt is a sin reserved for the folks who have seen Jesus' miracles and still choose to have him killedGod cannot forgive it, not because he couldn't, but because you did it with a FULL conscience. No forgiveness without guiltThey feel no guilt; therefore, they cannot be forgiven
You can't commit the unpardonable sin in this age, Old Testament doctrine is not the same as NT.Salvation in this age cannot be earned by your works (Eph. 2:8-9). All of God's love, in this age, is vested in the righteous life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Apart from Christ, God loves no man (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8); apart from Christ, the sinner abides in God's wrath (John 3:36)Rom. 3:23-25: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”1 John 5:7: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”Salvation is by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9, given by God, Romans 10:8 & 17) only in the one, final, effectual sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:8-12) dying in your place (1 Cor. 15:3-4) as a substitutionary offering for sin (Rom. 5:1-10). His blood atonement made for you is finished, so if you have received the Lord Jesus by faith (John 1:12) in your heart, you're forgiven of all your sins and are saved, once for all; finally and forever! (Rom. 8:38-39, Romans 4:5)The gift of salvation can't be earned, it's a gift: Eph. 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Rom. 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Confess The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in prayer, that you trust in Him, not your own works. He atoned for your sins on the cross.www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntcProof that the Bible is the word of God:https://truthischrist.com/seven/fcbaptist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Bible-proof.pdf

This is not in the Bible, it is from the Apocalypse, blasphemy
>explain why this sin specifically is irredeemableBecause it offends Jesus way more than if you were to insult him personally.Think about it, this is the dude who is going to personally judge everyone who ever lived.He arbitrarily decides who gets to live with him forever, has promised certain things to his church, and may forgive you even if you say all sorts of bad and offensive things about him personally, cause it's really not an ego thing for him.But once you morally impugn the power of the Holy Spirit (specifically, crediting the enemy for these supernatural things manifested through certain works of grace), the gloves come off.It doesn't have to make sense to you.That's just how he feels about it, so that's what gone happen.You really don't need to understand any more than that. Don't cross that line and know better, fair warning. Simple as.>if an atheist edgelord says it one time but then converts to Christianity 50 years laterSays what?It's not about really the words coming out of your mouth.It's about intention, knowledge, responsibility. Malice even. Anyways it doesn't really matter if this hypothetical fedora meant it in a hostile way and intended to deceive others despite knowing better, if he really believed in the truth and fundamental goodness of Jesus' message then he should live regardless according to Christian virtues even if he were damned anyways. If he were merely pursuing some reward as a primary motivation, rather than following Jesus, then he wouldn't be in it for Jesus himself but for what he thinks he can get from him.It sounds harsh, but if he really did do that unforgivable thing he wouldn't be capable of living that way in the first place.Because honestly, the way it's possible for men to live that way is through the power of the Holy Spirit to begin with.
>Bible says something pretty straightforward>Christians explain it away claiming it doesn't really mean what it says because it is patently absurdLike clockwork.
