1 | What is a fatal sin? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186793 | ||
There is no "one" sin nor is there anything that can not be forgiven. Remember, King David committed adultry and murder (of Uriah). The book of James states "there is sin leading to death." Notice it does not say "a sin." In the Greek it's "sin" not "a sin." What James is indicating is "a contineous life style of sin." And remember a born again Christian can "never" lose their salvation. | ||||||
2 | What is a fatal sin? | Matt 12:31 | mark d seyler | 186874 | ||
Hi Psalm 25, Did you in mind 1 John 5:16? "If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask; and He shall give life to him, to the ones not sinning unto death. There is a sin unto death. I do not say that he should ask about that." Since Koine Greek does not have an Indefinate Article, to my understanding, translators can either insert one or not as they understand the passages. It seems that there are several on both sides of this fence. 1Jn 5:16 (ALT) If anyone sees his brother [fig., fellow believer] sinning a sin not [leading] to death, he will ask, and He will give to him life, to the ones sinning [a sin] not [leading] to death. [There] is sin [leading] to death; not concerning that [sin] am I saying that he should urgently ask. (ASV) If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request. (Bishops) If any man see his brother sinne a sinne not vnto death, let hym aske, and he shal geue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it. (ESV) If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life--to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. (Geneva) If any man see his brother sinne a sinne that is not vnto death, let him aske, and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it. (KJVR) If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (LITV) If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask; and He shall give life to him, to the ones not sinning unto death. There is a sin unto death. I do not say that he should ask about that. (MKJV) If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it. (WNT) If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request. (YLT) If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech; These are the ones I have quick access to, plus, of course, our host: 1 John 5:16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. Its my understand that the word "tis" is sometimes used as an Indefinate Article, but it's absence doesn't mean that the noun is necessarily definite. Again, could I ask you what your foundation is for saying that this is speaking of a "continuous life-style of sin", rather than a particular sin, or a particular type of sin? I appreciate your clarifications! Love in Christ, Mark |

3 | What is a fatal sin? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186879 | ||
The way I understood the original question was "is there(a)fatal sin?" I may have been wrong but I thought the question was "a sin." I did not think of 1 John 5:16. In my Greek studies and other commentaries I have always been told there is no single article there to assume or otherwise. The Greek word "tis" in verse 16 is an indefinite pronoun (any man) but I fail to see what "tis" (Strong's #5100) has to do with sin or "a sin?" Are you leaning in the direction that "a sin," meaning a single sin, could result in God taking our life? | ||||||
