Today we want to talk about a topic that is very important for many people, and at the same time extremely controversial. We are talking about the unforgivable sin
- one of the most difficult and puzzling concepts in Christianity. It is possible that some of you have heard of the unpardonable sin, but not fully understanding
what it means and what its consequences are.
To others, this concept may seem completely absurd or even frightening. Regardless of how you feel about the concept, we encourage you to watch this video to
better understand what it's all about. The unforgivable sin is a concept that can raise many emotions, controversies and questions. Is it really possible that
God is unable to forgive sin?
What sins are considered unforgivable? Are there ways to repent and be forgiven for the unpardonable sin? These are just some of the questions we will try to
answer in this video. This is not an easy topic, but we are convinced that it is worth talking about.
We believe that our discussion will be interesting and informative, and maybe even help you understand some difficult issues related to faith. The problem
with the unforgivable sin is that many people don't quite understand what it really means. Often people are afraid that they have committed such a sin,
but in reality they have no idea what it is.
Let's go to the heart of the matter and read a passage from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, chapter 12, verses 22 to 33.
Then a demoniac was brought to him, who was blind and mute. He healed him so that the mute could speak and see. And all the crowds marveled and said,
"Is this not the son of David?" But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "He casts out demons only through Beelzebub, the ruler of demons."
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom that is divided against itself is laid waste. And no city or house quarreling inwardly will stand.
If Satan casts out Satan, he is at odds with himself, so how will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons through Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?
Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Or how can a man enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And only then will he rob his house.
Whoever is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people
, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
If anyone speaks a word against the Son of Man, he will be forgiven, but if he speaks against the Holy Spirit, he will not be forgiven either in this
age or in the age to come. Either consider the tree good and its fruit good, or consider the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.
Notice who Jesus is addressing when he talks about the unpardonable sin. He is not speaking to people who believe in his teaching, but to a group of
Pharisees. So how did they commit this sin? They committed this sin by attributing the work of Jesus to the devil, but not only did they completely
reject Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior.
Notice that the Pharisees never once said anything about the Holy Spirit. What they did, they attributed the work that Jesus Christ did to the devil,
while Christ did it by the power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, these people, seeing the work that Christ did, looked at Him and said; this is
the work of the demon and him alone, thereby rejecting the power of the Holy Spirit working through Jesus Christ. In other words, they rejected that
Jesus Christ is the Son of the one God, and therefore they rejected Salvation.
Now let us ask ourselves, can a Christian commit this sin? The answer is no. As Christians, we believe in God, the creator of the universe and man.
We believe that God created man in his image and gave him free will to choose between good and evil. We believe that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ,
to save humanity through his passion, death and resurrection.
We believe that through faith in Jesus and his sacrifice, we receive the grace of salvation and eternal life. We also believe in the Holy Spirit,
who guides us to the truth, gives us the strength to overcome our sins, and strengthens our faith. We believe in the Gospel, which is the Word of God.
Therefore, as Christians, we cannot commit this sin.
Those who commit this sin never repent of their actions, they will never agree to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, as Savior. They act with
full knowledge of their actions, completely rejecting God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. They remain in this hardness of heart, completely closing
the voice of conscience, until death, and in this state they leave this world. Many people fear that they have committed this sin.
However, it is worth remembering that it is not about random thoughts or one-time actions, but about a state of mind that completely rejects the
Holy Spirit, rejects Jesus Christ and all that He has revealed to us. People who turn to Jesus Christ in faith cannot commit this sin because they accept Jesus
as Savior and Son of God.
Committing the unpardonable sin is rejecting God fully consciously and fully voluntarily, putting the will of man above the will of God. Committing
the sin against the Holy Spirit is difficult because it requires a deliberate and conscious rejection of the Holy Spirit and His work. This is usually
an extreme and long-term condition that requires a total rejection of the Holy Spirit and His gifts.
Contemplating this topic further, we can recall the words of Jesus Christ that he gave to Saint Faustina. "There are souls who despise My graces and
all proofs of My love; they do not want to hear My call, but they go to the abyss of hell. This loss of souls plunges Me into mortal sorrow. I cannot
help a soul here, although I am God, because it despises Me. ; having free will, he can either despise Me or love Me."
