There are no unforgivable sins. CCC 982 - "There is no one, however wicked and guilty, who may not confidently hope for forgiveness, provided his repentance is honest.

Jesus said there was an unforgivable sin... do you know what it is?

"Jesus said there was an unforgivable sin... do you know what it is?"

One cannot seek the forgiveness from God while at the same time rejecting God. "The unforgivable sin of speaking against the Holy Spirit has been interpreted in various ways, but the true meaning cannot contradict other Scripture. It is unequivocally clear that the one unforgivable sin is permanently rejecting Christ (John 3:18; 3:36). Thus, speaking against the Holy Spirit is equivalent to rejecting Christ with such finality that no future repentance is possible. 'My spirit shall not always strive with man,' God said long ago (Genesis 6:3).
