Those less theologically inclined among us may not immediately see the value in what I have to say here, but the topic of the unforgivable sin has been a source of confusion and fear for christians for longer than I've been alive (much longer, I daresay), and a clearheaded understanding of what Jesus meant when he described the so-called unforgivable sin could only be beneficial to those people. I also assert that, even to those who don't put much stock in christian theology, the ideas and principles Jesus espoused, including this one, are valuable to consider and understand even if you don't reorganize your life around them.
The "unforgivable sin" is a reference to a brief quote attributed to Jesus in which he ostensibly described a sin so heinous that one would be permanently doomed to hell for committing it; yet simultaneously so vague that no one could ever say what exactly it meant or whether they had committed it or not. Going off of the standard christian model of hell as a place of infinite punishment (a model which I do not believe to be original to Christianity), this notion will indeed be a scary one. I hope to dispel this fear by examining what Jesus said about this sin and giving an alternative interpretation, which I believe to be much more honest to the original text.
Thanks for watching! Let me know your thoughts. :)
