Unpardonable Sin and my Thoughts ?

[Guest coolwaters]

I was taught that it is impossible to commit the unpardonable sin until the end times. What are yalls views on this? I realize that if some one doesn't except Christ then they will suffer eternal damnation, thus becomes unpardonable. But I feel the unpardonable sin is something else entirely. Thoughts?

Luke 12 10-12 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."

I was taught that the context, timing, who and place of where the scripture speaks is important to know. This is true in every instance. The subject needs to be known. I was also taught that not trusting the lord and refusing to let the holy spirit speak through you is the unpardonable sin specifically at the end time. I'm sure I'm leaving the best argument out though.

Hi again coolwaters. Welcome to Worthy Boards.

My reply to this post is below this thread.

We are on the same track crusader, but I guess my question has to do more with timing.

[Crusader4Christ]

Timing? Hmmm... I don't think there is a specific time where blaspheming the

Holy Spirit is unforgiving. I think it has always been like that. The question, how does someone blaspheme the name of the Holy Spirit?

[Guest coolwaters]

Well I lean towards that Gods grace is suffiecient enough to forgive any thing at this point in time. Ofcourse that depends on the persons contrition. But I'm am not confiident enough nor willing to test it or tempt God. I hope I never will. Doesn't God's treatment of sinners change somewhat during the tribulation?

[Crusader4Christ]

Well CW, it does change. God 's wrath is displayed towards all those who never accepted Christ as their personal savior. Is that how you mean?

[Guest coolwaters]

My contention is that is also effects the saved. If we are brought up to the anti-christ as martyrs and are given the oportunity to speak and we worry about what we will say and premeditate our words and not let the holy spirit speak freely through us . Then we are denying the holy spirit. This also has ramifications for the once save always saved question. Apparently we are not in this instance.

[Crusader4Christ]

Yes, you are most likely right CW. Unless there is a rapture before the Antichrist is displayed to the world ( which is very unlikely) I think we do endure hardship, trials, and tribulations. If not, who are the people who are

martyred for their testimony in Revelation 13?

Once saved always saved is not true at all. We fall into temptation everyday,

and some even fall so far into tempation, they turn away from Christ. If you

are christian, and then one day you fall through tempation, and you become atheist all of a sudden, do you believe you are still saved, even though you don't believe in God? Seems very hypocritical, and unscriptural.

[Guest coolwaters]

I agree the rapture is highly unlikely, since it is never mentioned and it is told that Jesus will come at the last trump. I enjoyed the Tim Lehay and Jenkin novels but they are fiction and very loosly based on the bible. Although they probably had alot of good effect on belivers and nonbelievers.
