Chapter
12.3
Unpardonable Sin
Is
there a sin that is so grievous that it cannot be forgiven?
Sin in Hebrew means “missing the mark;” an archers term
Definition
Morally Responsible: Animals are not morally responsible creatures; so
therefore they cannot sin. Angles and Man are
morally responsible creations and can sin.[1] Sin is rebellion against God; it’s the violation
of the laws of God in thought, word or deed; to reject God’s love and His ways.[2] Sin is a contradiction to the Holiness of God;
it is Moral corruption. Breaking God’s
law at any point involves transgressions at every point.[3]
The Unpardonable
Sin by
definition, is that of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit;[4] but what does that mean?
Webster: Blasphemy: the strongest term used for the
mocking of God; Slander, defame, revile, Profane or contemptuous speech, writing, or
action concerning God or anything held as divine, any
remark or action held to be irreverent
or disrespectful. The utterance of profane
oaths, cursing or swearing.
The Term “UNPARDONABLE
SIN”
is NOT found in the Bible, but is deemed to be
the final rejection of the Holy Spirit’s testimony concerning the work and
person of Jesus Christ.
Prayer
We are instructed NOT to pray
for those who mock the work of the Holy Spirit.
1
John 5:16-17 – Don’t pray for those that blaspheme the
Spirit
16 If you see a Christian brother
or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and
God will give that person life.
But there is a sin that leads to death, and
I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.
17 All
wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death. (NLT)
Old Testament Example
We often think of the unpardonable sin as
something that might happen in the future and we still have time to get our act
together, but the Old Testament shows instances when God’s people sinned and God condemned them forever right then and there.
The
Priest Eli had two sons, Hophni
and Phinehas who were also priest, were having sex with the women working in
the temple; this was Blasphemy in deed and action.[5]
King Belshazzar drank out of the
Temple goblets and praised his gods of wood; Blasphemy.[6]
Men grumbled against God and
spread a bad report; Blasphemy in
word and deed.[7]
New Testament Example
Jesus was healing the sick, yet He was
accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the prince of demons thereby
attributing His powers of healing to the Devil and not to the Holy Spirit.[8] Blasphemy
Ananias & Sapphira sold some
property and gave it as an offering, but LIED about how much they sold it for. It was theirs to do as they wished and it was
ok to keep some of the money, but they lied to the Holy
Spirit and died on the spot.[9]
Today’s Example
Communion seems like a
simple thing, but we are warned to examine ourselves before we partake at the
table of the Lord; we are to confess our sins and ask forgiveness, failure to
do this brings sickness and even death to our body.[10] If you have done this through ignorance,
confess your sins now before God “closes your door” for it will never be opened
again.
The Believer’s body is the Temple of
the Holy Spirit and Homosexuality
is a sin against the body therefore against the Holy Spirit; this opens up a
possible early “Physical
death” through AIDS. Repent
now and change your direction, because “Spiritually”, once God gives you up, it’s all over.
Being given
over to Homosexuality
is a JUDGMENT from God and
it’s final. [11] It’s in the Book
The mark of the beast is an
indication of servitude and worship of the beast; a blasphemy of the Holy
Spirit. This is a counterfeit mark,
mocking the marking of the 144,000 witnesses of God. Once you receive this mark, there is no
changing your mind, no repentance.[12] You are a dead man walking.
God will shut the door
Noah took on the ark all that
would come, and then waited one more week and when no other came, GOD SHUT THE DOOR and nothing else entered.[13] The time is coming when the “open door”
will be shut and no man can open it again.[14] The day of salvation; the day of grace will be over.
Did you see it? The
Holy Spirit can
only show you the door, you must choose to walk through it.
Redemption
Adam
and Eve died SPIRITUALLY “that day” when
they sinned in the Garden of Eden[15]
and at some point they also died PHYSICALLY, but God in His mercy and grace has made a way to redeem all
of mankind through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.[16]
The
Take Away
The Term “Unpardonable Sin”
is NOT found in the Bible, but is
deemed to be the final rejection of the Holy Spirit’s testimony concerning the
work and person of Jesus Christ. It is
the violation of the laws of God in thought, word or deed; rejecting God’s love and
His ways.
The first born belonged to the Lord, they were considered His
possession; it was necessary to buy back or redeem the child for the price of 5
shekels of silver when the child was one month old. The Priest would say “do you want to redeem the child or leave him
with me,” the father would answer, “I will redeem the child” and
then pay the price, then the priests would declare
“Your son is redeemed”.
Jesus paid the price
for us at the cross and redeemed us back to
Himself. SELAH
The Holy Spirit can only show you the door, you must chose to
walk through it.
