1 | Who committs the unpardonable sin? | Matt 12:32 | Hank | 128102 | ||
New Creature: For many an aura as gripping as an epileptic seizure surrounds this specific sin, and so much has been interpolated about it that simply isn't true to the word of God. All we know or will ever know this side of eternity about the specific sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the "unforgivable sin," is recorded in, and only in, Matthew 12:22-32; Mark 3:20-30; and Luke 12:10. The Hebrews 6:4-6 passage is NOT a valid reference to this specific sin of which our Lord spoke. What was this sin and who was committing it? Matthew 12:24 provides the answer to both questions. Were the Pharisees in this passage regenerate followers of Jesus? In Matthew 12:34 Jesus describes their spiritual condition. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Who committs the unpardonable sin? | Matt 12:32 | New Creature | 128118 | ||
Hank; Thanks for your thoughts on this, however, I didn't list Heb. 6:4-6 as a reference. |

3 | Who committs the unpardonable sin? | Matt 12:32 | Hank | 128119 | ||
New Creature, no, I know you didn't cite Hebrews as a reference, but Stultis the Fool did (Post 128090). In attempting to answer your question, he wrote a whole treatise on the unpardonable sin using various passages in Hebrews as references. I believe this interpretative approach wrong and the conclusions eisegetic. This is what I was alluding to when I refuted that the passage in Hebrews has anything to do with the unpardonable sin that Jesus describes in the Gospels. I should have been more specific. Please pardon my bumbling ambiguity :-) --Hank | ||||||
4 | What was this sin...? | Matt 12:32 | Stultis the Fool | 128204 | ||
Perhaps Hebrews 10:26-31 is a better refference (still contextually similar to the refference in Hebrews 6:4-6): "For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE. It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Consider specifically the final result of the course of sin defined in verse 29: "How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?" Can there be any denying that the author of this passage ultimately refers to the Holy Spirit when he writes the phrase "Spirit of grace?" Based on the full passage, can there be any denying that the sin perpetrated here is unpardonable? According to the passages in Matthew, blasphemy is only "unpardonable" regarding the Holy Spirit. This passage directly refers to "insulting" the Spirit. I cannot imagine what deed the Pharisees may have performed in Matthew 12:24 that was not a direct insult to the Spirit. Now I ask: What is the answere to the question you posed, "What was this sin...?" in your previous post. |
