What Is the Unforgivable Sin?
What is the unforgivable sin or the sin against the Holy Spirit? What is it not? In this video, Chad Bird looks at Matthew 12, Mark 3, and Luke 12 to discern the characteristics of this sin and the impact it makes on one who commits it. Then he offers counsel to those who worry they have committed it.

"You are forgiven" are the most beautiful words to ever hear! No merit of mine but only of Christ Jesus given to me and to us. Thank you Chad for your explanation of this.
My daughter agonized over this when she was a little girl. No one could convince her otherwise. I wish this video had been available 20 years ago!
Excellent. I came across your ministry about a week ago and have listened to several of your teachings and have been encouraged and edified. I am a bi-vocational, Bible teacher/Home Improvement contractor (flooring, painting, backsplashes, etc.), in metro Atlanta. It was good listening to some of your teachings last week as I was installing a backsplash. Thank you for the investment of your time to teach and encourage others with the wealth of knowledge and understanding you have of God's word.
I was once told that if you are worried that you have committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, you haven't. Someone who has committed it, isn't worried about it.

Yes, that was one of the points that I made in the video. It is very true.
Chad, your video is an answer to prayer. I have not subscribed to your channel (yet, I will after I finish this reply). But I've been plagued recently with the fear that I had committed the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit. Last night I asked God for reassurance if I had NOT done so. And today your video came up as "something that might interest you". Thank God for answered prayers! Thank God for sending this answer through someone I respect and trust to be speaking the truth. And thank you, Chad, for your words of comfort and cheer. May God bless you and keep you.

Hallelujah ❤🙏🏽. What an awesome and encouraging teaching, dear Chad. God bless you and yours. In Jesus' name.
Thank you so much, I am just starting to find my walk with Jesus, trying to know Him in a way that I have never known and that has been one of the things holding me from jumping in feet first. I'm 66 and figured my "best by" date had expired
THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAD!! I REALLY NEEDED this teaching!! I have repented for a LOT of the sins I committed during my numerous unbelieving years. As I think of more I repent. BUT I have been concerned about this sin. I REALLY NEEDED to hear this today!! Thank you so much!!!! May God bless you & your family!! 🙏🏼🌈❤️🕊🐾
He explained and expounded scripture for the entire video. Excellent job Chad, thank you!
God surely uses you words to bring clarity and encouragement. Thank you Chad. God bless you and your family and keep you safe.
This is the clearest definition I have ever heard! Thank you Chad!
Thank you for bringing the good news today! Blessings to you and your family!
Great. Thank you Chad
God bless you, brother! I need to read this in scripture and continue to pray to our Lord, Jesus Christ. I pray He places this on my heart to tell others. Amen!
Lord bless you and protect you as you do your very best to help us understand these things found in scripture.
Exactly!! So well presented Chad. God bless you.
Thank you!
So helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for all you do. I will be using this to help others.
I struggle with this for a long time
Thank God.
Thank you
Nice!!! I think it’s Luke 11 not 12 though?
I heard a preacher who runs a “deliverance “ ministry say that to question his work is sinning against the Holy Spirit. I do not question that miracles are from God and the Holy Spirit. I do question whether every person who claims to cast out demons and “heal” people of other “spirits”’of illness and disease. To me, healed is healed. When Jesus cast out a demon or healed people of illnesses, they were gone forever. This is not the case with this preacher. To me, we will know by the results that it is of the Holy Spirit. I would never want to attribute credit to satan for things the Holy Spirit has done, but I have a healthy doubt about some people.
Thank you for addressing the wrong interpretations.
Thank you for passing on your wisdom. My view on this was wrong and now I see.
The unpardonable sin, wouldn't it be unbelief and continuing in it? That is unbelief in our LORD Jesus Christ which includes who HE is and what HE has done and what HE is doing for wretched sinners as we are. May GOD'S peace be upon you all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus our LORD. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a by product of unbelief, look at the Pharisees which this passage is about they didn't believe in the LORD Jesus Christ for healing the blind man and so they said that He did it by the power of the devil because they did not believe He was the incarnate Heavenly Father,all of this was because of their unbelief. Context is critical to understanding the Word of GOD. Thank you my brothers and sisters in the LORD Jesus, just seek HIM and all will be well with your soul.

I think it has a lot to do with continuing in unbelief, but I also think it is more of an Israel doctrine, not for the Body of Christ Church in this Dispensation of Grace. Before this Dispensation began with Paul, Ananias and his wife were killed by the Holy Spirit for lying to Him. They were not even given the chance to repent.

Unbelief is the only unforgivable sin.
I would add as well that it also is seeking to lead others astray. So in that way this sin would align with the anathema of Galatians 1 as well.
Unforgiveness. Matthew 6:15
it's to attribute the work of heaven to the work of hell. it's to attribute the work of the spirit to the work of the flesh.
Not accepting (Christ as savior) and trying to save them self. John 3:16, john 3:36, John 6:47. We can’t save ourselves as they found out in Matthew 7:21-23.

Why do you believe that man is more powerful than God?
Getting your beliefs wrong is the unforgivable sin.
What about atheists who do not believe in anything supernatural? No God, no Satan, angels, etc? What sin can they commit that is unforgivable?
How does one then discern between what is true and what is false? Matt 13:22 says that false christs and false prophets will arise, and will provide signs and wonders in order to mislead, if possible, the elect. It seems the understanding you give on blasphemy of the Holy Spirit would scare anyone away from trying to discern between what is false and true, because of the fear of possibly being wrong.
There is no unforgivable sin. If a person truly repents for apostatizing that person is forgiven.
This sin could only be committed once in history, not by and individual and it had to happen before the death of Jesus Christ.

Chad is wrong here, this sin cannot be done today.
Satan did the unforgivable sin, he knew the truth,all of it, and betrayed anyway, no human being saw the all Truth yet so, don’t worry about that… no human can defeat Satan, only God does…
Just get to the point it’s the rejection of Christ as your savior if you do that there is no forgiveness of your sins that’s the only thing that will keep you from heaven

Nowhere in Jesus’ words does he refer to that as what I talked about in this video. You’re collapsing general unbelief with this particular sin against the Holy Spirit. They are not the same.

Its a deep hearted defaming, blasphemy, against the Holy Spirit, God. When the Pharisees in Matt. 12 attributed Jesus's works to the Devil that was just a manifestation of their already commited Unforgivable Sin. Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 8:44, You are of your father the Devil and want to do the desires of your father. If Jesus said they were of their father the devil, that makes them children of the Devil and that is the Unforgivable Sin, making the Devil their god and sufficiency. See also Act 13:9-10, Elymas the sorcerer was also a child of the Devil. In the OT see references to "sons of Belial", another name for Satan. Cain was also a child of the Devil, Gen 4:8-15 and 1John 3:12. As were sons of Eli in 1Sam 2:12. Shalom
The unpardonable sin is unbelief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. God has provided for our salvation in His Son (John 3:16). Forgiveness is found exclusively in Jesus (John 14:6). To reject the only Savior is to be left with no means of salvation; to reject the only pardon is, obviously, unpardonable. The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, specific as it was to the Pharisees’ situation, cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth, and no one can personally see Jesus perform a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. The only unpardonable sin today is that of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in his rejection of Christ.
Bringing "clarity" to a world of superstition is not terribly helpful. According to the Bible, the only unforgivable sin is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit". That sounds like a great means for keeping people in the religious fold, but is a perverted kind of "morality". A credible God would not demand belief or respect. It would inspire as to why such belief or respect are due. By this standard, a gay Christian would be more easily forgiven than Jew who rejects Jesus as the "son of God". Such a thought would probably make the heads of rabidly anti-gay Christian bigots explode, but fortunately they will be protected by layers of cognitive dissonance.
I like the way you let us know what we’re looking for and what it means God is the father of the son, and son came to save people because God said, let Gods will be done! Jesus never prayed to himself so looking and listening
Yes there is really a fight for our souls and not choosing God is the infidelity here, SIN TEACHES YOU ! WHAT NOT TO DO? Evil is real and so are Satans children
To deny Yashua! And instead worship Satan and do the bidding of all the fallen angels! Instead Put on the armour of God, and fight? To Win and know your Bible well
I need scripture here to back your theories
