I have been researching this mystery for me, quite some time off and on and have had help from many who differ greatly in their opinion of what it is, all blasphemy is frogiven, except of the holy ghost, but it was always unclear to me what it actually was.

Most who have studied it either think it is not possible in our time or think it is highly unlikely one has done it inadvertantly.(IMO)

Obviously everyone with faith can comprehend scriptures
drasticly different so my intention here is not to debate the validity of others comprehension of what it is, but I have read mainy beliefs on both sides and most who have studied it in detail give me the confirmation that it is "impossible" for us to do or highly unlikely that we can.

Anyway,this has been a heavy load for me in my struggle to explore other beliefs and options in faith since I did not want to do the unpardonable sin in the process of exsploration..or times I have lacked faith in God.

Here is someones very detailed "POSITIVE"comprehension that I feel is "PROBABLY" correct for others who may have had similar thoughts about crossing the line into the unforgiven,while searching for where "you" want to be in your beliefs.

As I said above, others can comprehend this mystery drasticly different, so this is just what I feel is true and very " ENCOURAGING "

Kind Regards

The Unpardonable Sin is not possible today. Now this may come as a revelation
to many but here is why I hold to this interpretation. As you read Matthew 12
you again come head to head with the confrontation of the religious leaders with Jesus.
The Pharisees will not open their hearts to the deity of Jesus, and the overwhelming proof
of miracles cannot convince a closed mind-not even the casting out of demons, and the miracle clearly visible to all, as the man spoke in his right mind after Jesus healed him. In this chapter Matthew quotes Isaiah to show that Jesus performed His miracles by the Holy Spirit and not himself. It was the Holy Spirit empowering Him to heal and raise the dead, and it was the Holy Spirit that was being blasphemed.

Yes, enter the son of man, the champion of the blind, lame, sick, possessed, poor, and gentile (Luke 4:18-19). Jesus would give these lost souls respect, honor and most of all, salvation. Yes, jealousy will now enter the hearts of the religious leaders and they will not stop in their scathing and ungodly remarks against Jesus and his democratic beliefs, not even to the point of calling Jesus the devil himself. Jesus makes it known that all sin can be forgiven, but the sin of the Holy Spirit cannot, when Jesus says cannot, that means it is impossible. But why will not Jesus forgive such a sin? Considering his sacrifice was perfect and complete, no sin can with stand the deep grace of God, cf. Romans 5:8-9. And the parable of the Good Samaritan is another wonderful story of love and forgiveness, which seems to point to God's ability to forgive even traitors. We also know that as one walks in the light they will be forgiven of all sin, cf. I John 1:7. The word all means either omission-ignorance-, or co-mission, headstrong. Therefore, God will forgive all sins expect the sin of the Holy Spirit? Why is this? Let us look further.

In Hebrews 6:6 the writer- I believe to be Paul, so he did talk on this subject- is clearly discussing the sin of the Holy Spirit, and claims that those who have been enlightened, tasted and been partakers of the power of spirit, but now have fallen back, cannot-there is that word again- be forgiven. Notice the parallel with Matthew 12? The reason is they cannot be forgiven is they witnessed and partook in the power of the spirit, they were eyewitnesses to the spirits power and deity-face to face-, and they still did not believe, or shrunk back from the deity. This is why both Jesus and Paul confer that one who commits such sin-Ist century phenomenon-cannot and will not be forgiven.

Never again will we witness the profound and great miracles that the first century did. Paul himself in Hebrews 2: 2-4 confirms at the time of this writing, that the power of the spirit had ceased. He states that the miracles were confirmed in the past-historical record of what took place in the past. And if you understand that only the apostles could pass this power on thru the laying on of hands (Acts 8:12ff), and when the apostles died, then so did the ability to pass the miracles on, cf ( Daniel 9:24-miracles and prophesy to cease in the fourth empire-Rome), then you can better understand the one time event of the unpardonable sin. It was not something that would take place throughout history, not any more than the sacrifice of Jesus would happen over and over again, cf. Hebrews 9: 28.

Therefore, the sin of the Holy Spirit is not possible today because the direct operation of the Holy Spirit has ceased-not indwelling however, cf. Acts 2:38, Romans 8:9. And the miracles of Christ have ceased and not to be repeated again. Yes, the forgiveness of God is open to all those who put him on-Romans 6:3-4,and one must not worry about the sin of the unpardonable sin because it is not possible to commit today.
