Date: 2011-09-06 08:41 am (UTC)God's love and mercy are infinite. Look at some of the Old Testament patriarchs -- David is the prime example -- they did absolutely dreadful things but could be forgiven.

Date: 2011-09-06 11:25 am (UTC)I am in fact a universalist, so I don't believe that there's anything that can't be forgiven, nor do I believe that anyone can/will refuse mercy forever. But I can imagine that for people who have done really awful things (genocide etc), accepting God's forgiveness probably includes an excruciating awareness of the full extent of the evil that one has done, and I can imagine that one might resist forgiveness for a long time rather than deal with that awareness.

Date: 2011-09-06 04:18 am (UTC)After Googling: I thought it was something Paul said, but I tend to attribute things that irritate me to Paul. That was inaccurate, though. Apparently it was from the gospel of Matthew.

Date: 2011-09-06 12:55 pm (UTC)So far as I know, while there are a variety of interpretations, they're all pretty speculative.
It's not something I bother about, personally.

Date: 2011-09-06 01:51 pm (UTC)I'd heard that it refers to suicide or despair, but personally, I don't believe in any unpardonable sins.

Date: 2011-09-06 06:47 pm (UTC)And if 'holy spirit' here meant 'wisdom' or 'conscience', and the sin was refusing to EVER listen to wisdom/conscience, then you'd be pretty much screwed. (And, again, wouldn't have the wisdom to repent.)
