The unforgivable sin
(a.k.a.
"eternal" or "unpardonable" sin)
Sponsored link.
Three passages in the Christian Scriptures discuss a certain class of sin. A
literal interpretation of these gospel verses implies that if a person commits
one of these sins, God will never forgive her/him.
Thus:
If an unsaved person committed this sin, the texts seem to imply that
she/he could never attain salvation.
If a saved person committed this sin, the texts seem to imply that their
existing salvation would be terminated and could never be reestablished in the future.
The Bible clearly states in numerous locations that without salvation, once a
person dies, they will spend eternity in the torture chambers of Hell. Thus,
these three passages are more than passing interest to those who believe that
the Bible is God's word and is
inerrant.
