I’m not sure I agree. If this sin is ultimately forgivable like everything else, then why would Jesus go to the trouble of making the distinction between all other sins and this one?
The unforgivable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. When a person commits this sin they compare the Holy Spirit to the power of the enemy. Someone who commits this sin and he or she would stop caring. They would no longer want Jesus in their lives. If you are worried about this sin then you did not commit it! You are still Good In God! Those who know him and commit this sin they are condemned. Those who make a mistake feel worried are still in God's Grace.

@@timgrady4630 Totally unbiblical. Jesus never once preached Believe in Me for everlasting life as the message of salvation. That's a man-made teaching. John 8:51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.” John 16:1 All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. If salvation was irrevocable then Jesus wouldn't have said these things.
It’s not using a cuss word or being flippant with Gods name (which is not good or beneficial). The translation should say carry or do evil in Gods name. The third commandment in Exodus 20:7 and Deuteronomy 5:11 read: Thou shalt not carry or do evil in Gods name; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that miss uses His name. Why would God forgive dishonor, lying, stealing, adultery and murder, but not a careless word?
The most critical moment in any person's life is when God says Repent. I'm willing to take you back,I love you and want you. One thing that makes God really angry is despising His grace. He freely offers us His grace but if we despise it He turns in anger. One person who despised God's grace was Esau. He is described in Hebrews 12:14-17 We have no record of Easu ever committing adultery. But his attitude in God's eyes was just as fornication. What was his attitude? For one little bowl of soup he despised his birthright. He had the birthright as the older son, all of the inheritance could have gone to him. Esau had just come back from hunting and was hungry that type of soup is said to have a most delicious smell and taste. Jacob says you sell me your birthright and I'll give you the pottage,the soup. Esau must have thought what good is my birthright now when I'm so hungry, I'll just take what I got offered for it. And it says Esau despised his birthright. He made God extremely angry. Later the prophet Malachi said Jacob I have loved Esau I have hated. That's a very solemn thought IF you deliberately despise the grace of God and the inheritance which He offers you in Jesus Christ and turn away for some cheap temporary pleasure in this world,you make God very angry. And then it says afterward when he wanted to inherit the blessing,[he was rejected by God] for he found no place for repentance though he sought it diligently with tears. Now the Greek makes it clear he wasn't seeking the place of repentance,he was seeking the blessing. But he was rejected because he found no place, no way way to repent. A person can become so hardened they can pass the place of repentance and never be able to get back.
"Esau-An Example of a Believer (Hebrews 12:15-17)" by Ken Yates, October 10, 2016 In Hebrews 12:15-17, the author gives Esau as an example to his readers. Here is what he says: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. As stated in my previous blog, many people think that the author uses Esau as an example in one of two ways. Esau is either an illustration of somebody who was a believer but lost their salvation, or somebody who claims to be a believer, but really isn’t. In either case, it is held that Esau is an example of somebody who will be in hell. This is said because the author says that Esau was a “profane” person, who did not experience “repentance.” But as I also stated in my previous blog ( faithalone.org/blog/future-salvation-heb/ ), this is an example of reading one’s theology into the text. If we look at what the author of Hebrews says, the view that Esau is an illustration of somebody who is not a child of God must be rejected. First of all, as we saw in the previous blog ( faithalone.org/blog/future-salvation-heb/ ), the author of Hebrews is speaking to people he knows are Christians. He is warning them to look out (v. 15). He tells them they might fall from the grace of God. This certainly indicates that they currently find themselves in the grace of God. In addition, in chapter 10:10, 14 he says that the believer is made perfect forever. For the author of Hebrews a believer cannot lose their salvation. The warning is that one of them, that is the group of believers, might become a “fornicator or profane” person. A fornicator is an immoral person, especially in the area of sexual sins. A profane person is a person that does not care of spiritual matters. It is certainly possible that a “true” believer can commit sexual sins. It is also certainly possible that a believer can focus upon this world, and its pleasures, and lose sight of the importance of spiritual matters. It is also strange that some people say that Esau represents a person who goes to hell because Esau didn’t repent. Of course, this is held by people who say that repentance is necessary to be eternally saved. But when we look at the text we see the exact opposite. Esau did repent. He regretted what he had done and even did so “with tears.” The best way to understand what the author is saying is that Esau’s father, Isaac, would not repent. When Esau sold his birthright, and Isaac gave that birthright to Esau’s brother Jacob, Isaac would not reverse that decision. The point is that Esau lost the birthright of being the firstborn and could not get it back. He lost all of the benefits of that birthright. Even though he regretted it and wanted it back, it was not to be. Esau is simply a lousy illustration of an unbeliever. He was still the son of Isaac, even after he made his terrible decision. In fact, when you look at the account in Genesis, you see that Esau received other blessings from his father, but not the blessing of being the firstborn son. Esau’s problem was not that he wasn’t a son. It was that he did not value spiritual things. He was a “profane” person. It is interesting that in the Genesis account there is no indication that he was a “fornicator.” He desired the temporary things of this world-a bowl of soup-more than all the spiritual blessings that went with being the firstborn son of Isaac, the heir of the promises. That is the warning for Christians. Value the rewards that God has for those believers who are faithful to Him. We must beware, lest the things of this world take our eyes off the things that are truly valuable. But to read into these verses the idea that all “true” believers will value such things is to read our own theology into them.
@@michaelparsons7474 Jesus's final command after the resurrection was for us to go into all the world preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Luke 24:44-47 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, And REPENTANCE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS will be preached in His name to ALL NATIONS Starting in Jerusalem. That is the great commission.
Regret is an emotion it is not repentance Repenting and turning away from sin means a recognition of my sins, which involves Godly sorrow, brokenness and a commitment on my part to change the direction of my life. Repentance is not an emotion. Its more than being grieved or feeling sorry about my sin and even having remorse. God wants you to humble yourself make a decision of the heart and mind [the will] to turn away from sin. Your life was going in one direction [sin] and you make a decision by faith to take your life in the opposite direction with His help. It is making a genuine 180° change of heart recognizing that sin(s) is against God. By turning from our sins to God we acknowledge we have disobeyed God. We have violated His law, offended his moral purity, tried to cast off his yoke of authority. It requires that we admit we have turned from God to sin.That is faith. Repent means change your mind about your sinfulled life ALL SINS INCLUDING UNBELIEF, false gods, witchcraft, self righteousness idolsetc. After repentance there must be a genuine change of life because living in sin is disobedience and rebellion against God and the end result will be destruction of the soul in hell. There must be a change in conduct and how you live. You don't have to remember every sin, Jesus knows them all. Confess ongoing sins, and ask for deliverance of them and forgiveness of all sins. Repentance turning from sin - is a prelude to holiness. Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy, without holiness, no one will see the Lord. Walking in holiness begins with repentance.We should think about it as a lifetime daily discipline of our faith, necessary for a holy life as Jesus says in Luke 11:3-4. None of us are sinless.
@2Chronicles714_ you said that "repenting and turning away from sin means a recognition of my sins, which involves Godly sorrow...." Then would you agree that if a person has never had Godly sorrow, then such person has never recognized his sins and, thus, has not repented?
