2203.—The Unpardonable Sin.

Can you tell us what is meant specifically by the unpardonable sin?
O. O. P.
The unpardonable sin is the unrepentable sin. In one specific instance mentioned in the New Testament, certain Jews attributed to Beelzebub the miracles wrought by the Spirit thru Jesus. They declared that Christ cast out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons. Matt. 12:22-32; Mark 3: 22-30. There are two agencies by which God saves men: the atonement of Jesus Christ, and the power of His Spirit manifest thru His word and the miracles of His grace. When men persist in treading underfoot the blood of the covenant and doing despite to the Spirit of grace, there is no other means by which God can reach them. Heb. 10: 26-30. They place themselves where they can not repent and where God can not save them. Their unrepentable sin becomes the unpardonable sin.
