Bible Question: Does the bible say anywhere in it that god will forgive you as long as you ask for it. Even if it is one of the ten commandments? |
Bible Answer: gsands277 Clearly Matthew 12:31 says only one sin will not be forgiven. blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Now you might ask what is blasheme against the Hoply Spirit, let me give you this quote for an answer. "The blasphemy against the Spirit – How much stir has been made about this? How many sermons, yea, volumes, have been written concerning it? And yet there is nothing plainer in all the Bible. It is neither more nor less than the ascribing those miracles to the power of the devil, which Christ wrought by the power of the Holy Ghost. Mark 3:28; Luke 12:10." The Classic Bible Commentary Compilation copyright © 1999 by Owen Collins Published by Crossway Books A division of Good News Publishers 1300 Crescent Street Wheaton, Illinois 60187 Let me include this quote. "The nation, because of its leaders, was on the brink of making a decision that would bring irreversible consequences. They were about to attribute incorrectly to Satan the power of the Holy Spirit exercised through Jesus and thus to commit the blasphemy against the Spirit. This specific sin cannot be reproduced today, for it required Jesus’ presence on earth with His performing miracles through the Spirit’s power. If, however, the leaders, acting on behalf of the nation, concluded that Jesus was empowered by Satan, they would commit a sin that would never find national or individual forgiveness (in this Age or in the Age to come). The consequences would bring about God’s judgment on the nation and on any individual who persisted in that view."
