Bible Question:
Matt 12:31 (KJV) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. . . . See, I am wrong again. And apparently Jesus is, too, according to some. I was always taught there is only one unforgivable sin -- the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. But, now I find there are others, as well: divorce, suicide, unforgiveness, fear, doubt, unbelief. The list goes on and on. Perhaps it would simplify things to ask "What is the sin that IS forgivable?" . . . I guess this is what is meant by the term progressive revelation. There used to be *one* unforgivable sin, but now there are at least *six*. |
Bible Answer: P.S. The question I have repeatedly tried in vain to answer is not: "Is suicide a sin?" Or "Is suicide forgiven?" I have been addressing the single issue: "Is suicide the unforgivable sin?" Guess what, folks. "Unforgiven" and "unforgivable" are two different words with two different meanings. If we can't even agree on the meaning of commonly used English words, we're certainly not ready to debate the issues. |
