To return to the prison of the Watchtower having escaped - 'like a dog that returns to it's vomit.'

i think it may be someone who sees gods miracles, so they know he exists - yet they still turn away. eg. seeing the red sea part so you can escape from your enemies, then turning away from god. thats my view anyway.

Re: What Is The Unpardonable Sin?
A 14 year old girl wrote (to a newspaper) a heart-rending account of being taken from her family and put in a foster-home because a conversation with the health nurse led the latter to believe that the girl was being sexually abused at home. She writes: "The 2 and half months I have been away from my family have been awful. I have missed my birthday and Christmas was not the best. I cry myself to sleep every night because of the pain and anger I am going through. I have asked that woman from (the government agency) - if I can go home heaps of times, but she makes up some stupid excuse and they make my family sound like criminals, but they are not. Why will they not listen and take notice of what I want, say and need, and stop doing what they feel is right - but is wrong?"
Keeping to the topic title would it be fair to say it is unpardonable to persist in perpetuating lies? Easy to put ourselves into this category when fostering lies about others in order to pander to our own weaknesses and prejudices. (and in that you may find the answer to your topic question )
Perhaps in this forum there may be found at least one person who puts the Truth first. Not in a declamatory posting but in their own heart.

it refers to a person who deliberately, persistently, and maliciously rejects and opposes the work of the Holy Spirit in his or her life, with full knowledge that he/she is doing so
Yep, that is it! This would mean that God would forgive almost everyone who has lived. Remember that the wages sin pays is death so; one is acquitted from their sins when they die.

To me sinning against the "Holy Spirit" would be the same as rejecting God's existence and influence in your life. So long as you refuse to acknowledge his existence and you refuse to allow his influence in your life then you will not be allowed entrance into his heavenly kingdom. If you eventually do choose to believe in God and accept his influence in your life then you are no longer committing the unpardonable sin in a sense that you will be allowed to enter into his heavenly kingdom.
