Over the years, many sincere Bible students have asked, “What is the unforgivable sin as recorded in first three gospel accounts?” The texts in question are, Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-29; Luke 11:14-23). Using the English Standard Version, Matthew’s account states, “Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.”<\/p>\n
The unforgivable sin, or “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit”, is simply the rejection of the revelation which the Holy Spirit gave, first through the Lord (John 6:63), and then through His representatives (John 14:16-17; John 14:23-26). The Pharisees rejected Christ by attributing His power of casting out a devil of a possessed man to Beelzebub [Satan] (Matthew 12:22,24) rather than the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:28). In essence, they permanently rejected Christ, His teachings, and authority. Today, we can permanently reject Christ by rejecting His teachings through the revelation by the Holy Spirit to inspired men (2 Peter 1:20-21). If we permanently reject the teachings of Christ, we too will suffer eternal consequences (Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 6:4-6; Hebrews 10:23-31; 2 Peter 2:20-22; cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9).An additional study of this subject is provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
