The Christian Church says that the Lord forgives all sins if a person sincerely repented of what was done. Only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the savior of the human race, is not forgiven.
Instructions
Step 1
Jesus Christ, as the Holy Bible says, said that every sin and any blasphemy to a person is forgiven. But there is also a mention in this book that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven "neither in this age, nor in the future," unlike the bad word spoken about the Son of Man.
Step 2
The priests, in order to explain such a contradiction, propose to understand the role of the Holy Spirit for the salvation of mankind. The unforgivability of this sin does not stem from the fact that it is precisely “sin” as such. After all, the fundamental basis of the Bible is precisely that every sin is forgiven. To do this, you just need to come to the Lord with sincere repentance, faith and prayer for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ.
Step 3
To understand why blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable, you need to know about its role in God's plan. His mission is to talk about Christ, lead a person to the truth and expose his sins. The Holy Spirit is a person's conscience, which reproaches transgressions and leads to faith. He gives a person the strength to live, the ability to cleanse himself.
Step 4
That is, without the Holy Spirit, a person is incapable of accepting faith, Christ and the light of Truth; he is incapable of repenting sincerely of his sins. But it is under these conditions that sins are forgiven by the Lord - with repentance and faith in the soul. If you do not repent, Christ will not illuminate the life of this person and there will be no forgiveness for him.
Step 5
Sin directed against the Holy Spirit is resistance to his voice, denial of faith. It turns out that every atheist is the most terrible sinner, since there is no place for Faith in his soul. Rejection of the Holy Spirit, his blasphemy are dangerous also because they can sow doubt in a believer. Therefore, this sin is unforgivable, as it leads to a whole chain of crimes against faith in the Lord.
Step 6
All criminal human passions, if not suppressed, but encouraged, lead to violation of the commandments of God. Conscience, meanwhile, completely loses strength and voice. This makes the Holy Spirit leave a person and only grieve for him. The sinner himself does not feel the need for forgiveness and does not ask for it.
Step 7
Thus, sin is not forgiven - blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, for which a person does not ask for forgiveness, does not repent and does not regret what he has done. Such a person is practically lost to the Lord, since he revels in his sins and, by his example, seduces other people from the true path.
Step 8
This is the answer given by the priests to the question of sin that is not forgiven. It turns out that if a person still thinks about his sins, then he does not deny the existence of God. This means that he has the opportunity to be forgiven.
