Do any Jehovah`s Witnesses or ex Jehovah`s Witnesses even Know what that sin is ?
Why is such a statement in the Bible if its not identified what that sin is ?
Were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ? ....Jehovah ?
Why would a loving God put that in there and not tell you what that sin is ?
is that not an offence against the "Holy Spirit" whatever that is? Perhaps eliminating the Force from the baptism formula like wt did? and then there is
the list of those sinners that will not inherit God's Kingdom.
Personal belief is that unforgivable sin is one for which you have no remorse, no guilt feeling, hence no repentance, no contrition.
Since Holy Spirit seems to stimulate the conscience, the fact you may ignore or even obliterate the conscience, you would therefore be grieving or sinning against the Holy Spirit, and thereby render yourself unable to repent, and consequently unable to be forgiven.
Don’t think any human can judge another on the matter?
it might be referring to masturbation.
Agree. If there is a sin that is unforgivable, and has impact on your future (life), you'd expect an explicit explanation of what that sin is. As this is missing, it is up to all the "sweet and loving" shepherd in the various religious organisations to define it and use that definition.
Stan, you are too funny. Lol
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Matthew 12:32
1. It cannot be any sin that is committed ignorantly. Paul was a blasphemer, but forgiven, because he did it ignorantly.
2. It must be a sin knowingly committed against the operations of the Holy Ghost. So was this sin of the Pharisees.
3. Apostasy must be an ingredient in it: If they fall away, saith the apostle, Hebrews 6:6. It is a sinning wilfully after the receiving the knowledge of the truth, Hebrews 10:26.
4. It should seem by this text persecution is an ingredient in it: the Pharisees did not only say this, but they spake it out of malice, designing to destroy Christ.
5. Most certainly it is, that though impenitency cannot be called that sin, yet it must be an ingredient in it, for what sins we truly repent of shall be forgiven, 1Jo 1:9; and therefore the apostle saith of such sinners, It is impossible they should be renewed by repentance.
Reading J-W.com?
Probably any sin you are not repentant over. That covers most all of us.
How about telling your big brother which place you will take in the heavenly army instead of humbly awaiting directions?🤨
Personal belief is that unforgivable sin is one for which you have no remorse, no guilt feeling, hence no repentance, no contrition.
And the only way to have any of those feelings is to crawl to the "loving" eldurrs, give them second-by-second description of your sin, then somehow manage to weep and gnash your teeth. Then after they boot your butt out of the congregation you need to continue to show up for the mental abuse for at least a year, and eat your shit sandwich with a smile, then IF they let you back in you must continue to crawl and kiss ass for another only god knows how long. If you do not do all those things you must have committed the "unforgivable sin".
I guess the governing body's Bible does not contain John 3: 16
BelisemDeBelimakom has gotten the closest correct answer. Jesus was performing miracles by means of the Holy Spirit. The Pharisees were going around stating Jesus' miracles were done by means of an "unclean spirit". That sin is unforgivable according to Jesus' words.
