Matthew 12:31 "And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."
This verse is part of Jesus' teaching on the subject of sin and forgiveness. He is saying that all kinds of sin, including sinful speech (slander), can be forgiven if the person repents and seeks forgiveness. However, Jesus is warning that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (also known as the unforgivable sin) will not be forgiven.
The phrase "blasphemy against the Spirit" refers to the act of not having Faith or believe in God, God's works, etc as without faith one cannot ask for forgiveness
In this context, Jesus is emphasizing the importance of humility and recognizing God's work in our lives. He is warning that if we attribute His miracles to anything other than God's Spirit, we will be guilty of blasphemy and will not be forgiven.
If one still dies in sin, no matter how many times it was confessed when alive, then there is no forgiveness on the other side, this side side of live "yes" there is
No, it does not contradict Matt 12:31
This is basic kids theology about the faith, why ask such a simple question
And now I'm not blowing my lid
