What IS unforgivable is knowing the Truth, accepting Salvation, then denying Christ when you are asked to Witness. In the Bible, that is the only unforgivable sin I have read of. Peter, who correctly identified Jesus Christ as the Son of God denied Christ three successive times after Jesus was arrested. Jesus certainly forgave him when He appeared to Peter after He arose.
Christians unfortunately and too often live and behave in ways that deny Christ by their words and actions. Forgiveness is extended to them as they request it of Christ, because "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins." (1 John 1:9). It is His promise to us.
The unforgivable sin of denying Christ is applicable to the one who refuses Christ as Savior.
FReegards!
You are correct. Question, do you think Peter actually believed what he had been told, or after the Resurrection,
visitations with Jesus, and after Pentecost of course, really get it.
In Revelations it speaks of Witnesses being given over to “the Deceiver”. To deny Christ himself to speak for you at that time when study clearly shows that “it will not be your words, but those given to you”. That is what I was thinking about, and it will be unforgivable. Off memory it says, “worry not what you will say, for I will give the words to you in that moment”. In short, it will be a moment of martyrdom that will be historic, or failure that can’t be recovered from...IMO.
Then again, to change or misrepresent the words. “Deliberate false teaching”.... the Pastors will be judged harshly.
Jesus himself, said that the only sin that was unforgivable was a sin against the Holy Spirit, who gives us Grace.
