So many people have been remotely mind controlled to reject religion altogether. They do not even know it was used on them. I'm praying that they will be forgiven. Their mistakes are not fully theirs. 👀
I recommend reading Hebrews 6: 4 -6 for further context on this unforgivable sin and determining who falls under it. My understanding is that if you accepted Jesus into your heart and baptized by the holy ghost, have seen the power of your heavenly Father in your life, yet later then turned your back on the Lord to live a sinful life for the devil then that is blasphemous to the Holy Spirit therefore unforgivable and leads to spiritual death.
Hebrews seems to be addressing Jews who were falling away from Christ and returning to the sacrificial system. Hence impossible to renew them through repentance because repentance doesn't mean a thing without the blood of Christ. Repentance will not renew someone offering the blood of lambs for atonement. At least that's my take on it
But the books definition of blasphemy against the spirit (after one is convinced of the truth but rejects it) doesn't match what John 5:16 says.. if you see a "brother" committing a sin unto death. this is someone who is in the church who believes
The Pharisees that said Jesus was driving out demons with the power of the prince of demons were not brothers. John writes about a brother in his letters.

And here is Calvin, also. ''What, then, is the meaning of the Apostle? He denies that sins are mortal, which, though worthy of death, are yet not thus punished by God. He therefore does not estimate sins in themselves, but forms a judgment of them according to the paternal kindness of God, which pardons the guilt, where yet the fault is. In short, God does not give over to death those whom he has restored to life, though it depends not on them that they are not alienated from life. There is a sin unto death I have already said that the sin to which there is no hope of pardon left, is thus called. But it may be asked, what this is; for it must be very atrocious, when God thus so severely punishes it. It may be gathered from the context, that it is not, as they say, a partial fall, or a transgression of a single commandment, but apostasy, by which men wholly alienate themselves from God. For the Apostle afterwards adds, that the children of God do not sin, that is, that they do not forsake God, and wholly surrender themselves to Satan, to be his slaves. Such a defection, it is no wonder that it is mortal; for God never thus deprives his own people of the grace of the Spirit; but they ever retain some spark of true religion. They must then be reprobate and given up to destruction, who thus fall away so as to have no fear of God. Were any one to ask, whether the door of salvation is closed against their repentance; the answer is obvious, that as they are given up to a reprobate mind, and are destitute of the Holy Spirit, they cannot do anything else, than with obstinate minds, become worse and worse, and add sins to sins. Moreover, as the sin and blasphemy against the Spirit ever brings with it a defection of this kind, there is no doubt but that it is here pointed out. But it may be asked again, by what evidences can we know that a man's fall is fatal; for except the knowledge of this was certain, in vain would the Apostle have made this exception, that they were not to pray for a sin of this kind. It is then right to determine sometimes, whether the fallen is without hope, or whether there is still a place for a remedy. This, indeed, is what I allow, and what is evident beyond dispute from this passage; but as this very seldom happens, and as God sets before us the infinite riches of his grace, and bids us to be merciful according to his own example, we ought not rashly to conclude that any one has brought on himself the judgment of eternal death; on the contrary, love should dispose us to hope well. But if the impiety of some appear to us not otherwise than hopeless, as though the Lord pointed it out by the finger, we ought not to contend with the just judgment of God, or seek to be more merciful than he is''.biblehub.com/commentaries/calvin/1_john/5.htm
Awesome video. Best explanation I've ever heard.

What about 1 Corinthians 5:5 and 2 Corinthians 2:6-11?
And James 5:19-20?
No. Anyone who believes the gospel is saved forever no matter how good or bad they are.

Do you think Leviticus (and the whole Law) can gives us a better answer?
Thanks
To brayan what book are you reading from? I would like to purchase it.
