Bob McEvoyHOST
There is one major exception.
Bob McEvoyHOST
It's commonly known in evangelical circles as the unpardonable sin.
Bob McEvoyHOST
And it's a term that's widely misunderstood, especially in charismatic circles today.
Bob McEvoyHOST
I spent, as you know, most of my teenage years in Pentecostalism, and I was.
Bob McEvoyHOST
And I was warned by one of my colleagues very sternly, be careful, brother, for there is no forgiveness for blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.
Bob McEvoyHOST
That's not what this is about.
Bob McEvoyHOST
I know that for Pentecostals in those days to speak out against what we might think of as excessive emotionalism, what they would believe is God the Holy Spirit moving in their midst would be for many of them the unpardonable sin.
Bob McEvoyHOST
But that's not what Jesus is teaching here.
Mike SchmitzHOST
Why? Because God wants to forgive us, like we, just like we said yesterday, God wants to forgive us of our sins.
Mike SchmitzHOST
So paragraph 1864 brings us to a close, this little section to a close, by talking about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Mike SchmitzHOST
So what is that? And it specifies it here bar, in paragraph 1864.
Mike SchmitzHOST
So God wills, God wants, here's what God wants.
Mike SchmitzHOST
God wants to forgive all of our sins.
Mike SchmitzHOST
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, as Jesus said, "Every sin, every blasphemy will be forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." So what is that? What's that one sin that will not be forgiven? Well, the Church highlights this.
Mike SchmitzHOST
There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept His mercy by repenting rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit.
Mike SchmitzHOST
So the, the only sin that God can't forgive is the sin that we don't allow Him to forgive.
Wyatt MorrellHOST
All right.
Wyatt MorrellHOST
What is the unforgivable sin? Greg, you just mentioned that no sin is forgivable.
Wyatt MorrellHOST
We have a listener now asking, is there an unforgivable sin, and who can potentially commit it? The only
Greg BourgondPANELIST
unforgivable sin the Scripture refers to is the ultimate denial of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Greg BourgondPANELIST
And you have up till your last breath to make that decision.
Greg BourgondPANELIST
And if you choose not to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, that is the unforgivable sin.
Tom ParrishPANELIST
Yes.
Tom ParrishPANELIST
That's the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the one witnessing to us who Jesus is and why we need him.
TopherHOST
What do we got? So this right here is the Antichrist.
TopherHOST
unforgivable sin everybody this is what would cause you to not make it into heaven and i believe that this is a very very difficult um thing to achieve.
TopherHOST
And it's very easy to avoid this one sin.
TopherHOST
And let's just listen to the unforgivable sin now.
TopherHOST
And of course, this is realism official.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The unforgivable sin may be in a way that you haven't thought before.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Essentially, everyone who does not get into heaven has committed the unforgivable sin.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Think about it.
Gideon LevittamHOST
Here, in 1 John chapter 5, Yohanan is speaking to believers.
Gideon LevittamHOST
And oftentimes we mix this verse with another passage that we find in Scripture in Matthew chapter 12, which there we have what you call the unpardonable sin.
Gideon LevittamHOST
You remember that? What is the difference between the unpardonable sin that is found in Matthew chapter 12, verses 31 and 32, and the sin unto death that is in 1 John chapter 5 and verse 16? Important to understand what's the difference between those two.
Gideon LevittamHOST
First of all, they are far apart from each other.
Gideon LevittamHOST
In Matthew chapter 12, Yeshua was speaking to the unbelievers, leaders of Israel who did not accept Him as the Messiah, to the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the spiritual leaders who did not accept Yeshua the Messiah.
Gideon LevittamHOST
In Matthew chapter 12, he is speaking to unbelievers.
Gideon LevittamHOST
In 1 John chapter 5, John is speaking to the children of God, to believers.
Gideon LevittamHOST
In Matthew chapter 12, the unpardonable sin has to do with spiritual sin that has to do with eternal damnation.
Tom PriceHOST
Let me ask a quick question as we're going to break here from Jonah.
Tom PriceHOST
Jonah wants to know, what is the unforgivable sin?
David AndersHOST
Final impenitence.
David AndersHOST
Can you elaborate on it? I was trying to say something pithy and humorous, but I couldn't come up with something.
Creflo DollarHOST
You see what happens when it's out of context? Ooh.
Creflo DollarHOST
What about the, what about, what about the unpardonable sin? Oh.
Creflo DollarHOST
Have you committed the unpardonable sin? If you've committed the unpardonable sin, God can't forgive you.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Yes, sir.
Creflo DollarHOST
Oh.
Creflo DollarHOST
That's the unpardonable sin.
Creflo DollarHOST
I was in college, and I was on the, the, the little bus going to go around the, I think it was Z-6, going to the place to eat.
Creflo DollarHOST
And, and, and this...
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
Let's keep reading.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
But is guilty of an eternal sin.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
But they were saying he has an unclean spirit.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
Bow your heads, let's pray.
23 MINS LATER
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
It says there, truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
How many sins? How many? Some? A few? One million? All sins will be forgiven the children of man and whatever blasphemies they utter.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin.
Korede TemiladeUNKNOWN
Watch this.

The Eternal Sin, Mark 3, verses twenty-eight to thirty.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme.
speaker_3NARRATOR
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation, because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
speaker_3NARRATOR
It behoves one to walk warily and softly in discussing so solemn a passage as this, and yet perhaps there is, in the whole of the New Testament, no passage upon which we so imperatively need clear ideas, for mistaken interpretations of it have caused needless pain to thousands.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Obviously it was addressed to those scribes which came down from Jerusalem, Mark 3, verse twenty-two, and the reason why it was addressed to them is plainly stated, because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
speaker_3NARRATOR
There was something in that slander of theirs that told our Lord they were in peril of this eternal sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Can we find what that something was? A glance at the terms of the warning will perhaps help us to our answer.
KathleenNARRATOR
End of chapter 11.
KathleenNARRATOR
CHAPTER XII THE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST You shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
KathleenNARRATOR
God is love, and the Holy Spirit is ceaselessly striving to make this love known in our hearts, work out God's purposes of love in our lives, and transform and transfigure our character by love.
KathleenNARRATOR
And so we are solemnly warned against resisting the Spirit.
