<P> In Roman Catholic teaching there are six sins that blaspheme against the Holy Spirit . They are: 1 . Despair (believing that one's evil is beyond God's forgiveness); 2 . Presumption (glory without merit, that is, hope of salvation without keeping the Commandments, or expectation of pardon for sin without repentance); 3 . Envying the goodness of another (sadness or repining at another's growth in virtue and perfection); 4 . Obstinacy in sin (willful persisting in wickedness, and running on from sin to sin, after sufficient instructions and admonition); 5 . Final impenitence (to die without either confession or contrition for our sins), and 6 . Impugning the known truth (to argue against known points of faith, and this includes misrepresenting parts or all of the Christian faith to make it seem undesirable). </P> <P> Several passages in the Bible are frequently interpreted as referring to the unforgivable sin: </P> <Ul> <Li> Matthew 12: 30 - 32: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters . And so I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy . But the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven . Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come ." </Li> <Li> Mark 3: 28 - 30: "Truly I tell you, all sins and blasphemes will be forgiven for the sons of men . But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin . He said this because they (the Pharisees) were saying,' He has an evil spirit' ." </Li> <Li> Luke 12: 8 - 10: "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God . But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God . And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven ." </Li> </Ul> <Li> Matthew 12: 30 - 32: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters . And so I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy . But the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven . Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come ." </Li>
