AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 12:32 "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit [by attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan] will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. [Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10] |
Subject: Unpardonable sin |
Bible Note: Hank: My study of Scripture in relationship to the "unpardonable sin" has boiled down to one conclusion, and that is to reject Jesus Christ, and to remain in that belief at the time of ones death. A person who so rejects the Holy Spirit's pleading to make Christ Lord has blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Is this not what you have saiid? I believe satan uses this topic to cause believers to doubt the "sealing of the Holy Spirit" upon us as the mark of Jesus Christ's ownership of us. Then again this also points us to the "eternal secuurity of the believer", at least from my Baptist point of understanding of Scripture. (I am not trying to push my theological view point on anyone) My belief is that only at ones death is the sin "unpardonable". Would you not agree? Blessings to you Hank. justme |
