"The Unpardonable Sin"

This is just sharing an info that I'm sure some of you (Christians) don't know yet. As a Christian and a Catholic, Forgiveness is a big word. Even in the prayer that Jesus Himself taught us, "Forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those who trespassed against us". And we also have this important Sacrament of Confession. Also about forgiveness. It's vital To Forgive before your own sins can be forgiven when you ask for forgiveness from God. In order to repent, not just to regret and make amend, but first, we must first Forgive people who have wronged us. So, when you repent and ask for forgiveness, you'll be forgiven as long as you confess your sins. So isn't it natural to think that "All sins are forgivable"?

I only learnt about this last nite. There is an Exception. "The Unpardonable Sin". Of course you will ask, what is it? Ladies and gents, it's in the Bible.

Mark 3:22-30 states,

"And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, 'He has Beelzebub,' and, 'By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.' …'Assuredly, I [Jesus] say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation;' because they said, 'He has an unclean spirit'

In Matthew 12:31-32, Jesus says to the Pharisees,

 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come"

To those fellow Christians who are still curious, let me do a little explanation.  After doing some reading, the understanding of the verses is about Rejecting and Not acknowledging the Holy Spirit after what they have learnt and after what miracles they have seen with their own eyes. With the given wisdom to see the truth, they still think it's a work of some evil. Logically speaking, when a human turns a deaf ears or close the opened eyes, there's no way for him get a revelation about the word of God. And this applies that when you continually violate God's law without the slightest remorse, it's considered the worst kind of sin. In easier words to understand, if you claim to  be Christians, you can't at the same time reject the Holy Spirit who has began to work in you since the day you were baptized, and will continue doing so until the next arrival of Christ.

But then...

If one's conscience is bothering him to the point that he feels he is too guilty for God to forgive, he has the assurance of God's Word that forgiveness is possible. The very fact that he is bothered by his sinfulness shows that the Holy Spirit has not abandoned him nor has God given him over to a depraved mind.

 "Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:6).

As long as you COME BACK and REPENT, The Lord will accept with opened arms.

Alleluia.
