"Wherefore I say to you would-be immigrants, 'All manner of crimes and lies will be forgiven to you, but breaking border entry regulations shall not be forgiven to you. And whoever might have mischaracterised me as President, it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever might have mischaracterised...

Which verses around the context of Abraham's receiving the sign of circumcision mention cleansing?

Wescott and Hort. Unbelievers and snake-oil salesmen to silly seminaries.

None of your citations actually say that there is an unpardonable sin; if unpardonable means unable to be ever pardoned. You ask, "Tell me, then what does, "not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come," mean to you?" "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and...

Or maybe physical uncircumcision was about uncommitment, distrust, and hiding the source of one's "seed" . The physical foreskin hides a part of the man that in righteousness only his spouse would normally see, the part out of which his physical "seeds" happen to come. Our dissimulating masks...

From my perspective, The white horse is the Holy Spirit going forth into battle at Pentecost. Zechariah 10:3-5 New King James Version (NKJV)For the LORD of hosts will visit His flock, The house of Judah, And will make them as His royal horse in the battle. From him comes the cornerstone, From...

The terms "unforgivable sin" and "unpardonable sin" are not biblical. There is no "unforgivable sin" or "unpardonable sin"" mentioned in scripture..

Circumcision was not about cleansing. It was about a commitment to love and serve God, like the piercing of the slave's ear was about commitment to love and serve the master.

When Jesus said this, does not necessarily pinpoint why He said this. Jesus may have been addressing only their specific behaviour here, as problematic regarding forgiveness. Or he could have been addressing some underlying attitude, that the Pharissees were expressing at this time as...

Maybe cite the biblical texts you are basing your opinion on.

You can't persuade by merely asserting something is so. Where does Jesus say that?

I would say it differe tly. I'm reasonably certain though that if someone is worried that they committed such a sin then they probably aren't. Jesus does not say that whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never thereafter have forgiveness.

The Bible doesn't specifically say that. Arguably, the unforgivable sin is to be denying the Holy Spirit's clear testimony to who Jesus is.

The word of God does not specifically define what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is. We infer from context what it could mean. Different people infer different meanings. Using the context of Luke 12, what speaking against the Holy Ghost mean? 8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me...

Luke 12:10 καὶ πᾶς (And everyone) ὃς (who) ἐρεῖ (will speak, future indicative) λόγον (a word) εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (at the Son of Man) ἀφεθήσεται (it will be forgiven, future indicative passive) αὐτῷ (to him)· τῷ δὲ εἰς (but to the one) τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα (the Holy Spirit) βλασφημήσαντι...

Even those who believe in limited atonement believe that the elect are already forgiven for their sins through the atonement even while doing them. So, I don't see why it should seem odd that those believing in universal atonement should believe the same about all sins of all people, except the...

Mark 3:29 ὃς δ᾽ ἂν (But whoever) βλασφημήσῃ (might be blaspheming; present subjunctive) εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ( to the Holy Spirit) οὐκ ἔχει (is not having; present indicative) ἄφεσιν (forgiveness) εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα (into the age) ἀλλ᾽ (but rather) ἔνοχός ἐστιν (is being liable; present...

It's unpardonable while doing it. Other sins, on account of the atonement, are pardonable while doing them, but the unbelief that accompanies other sins is not forgiven while practising the unbelief.

IMO Yes. Present unbelief toward Christ disqualifies from being presently in Christ. But present belief puts one in Christ; and in Him past unbelief is not remembered IMO.
