Basically if you sin even though you know it is a sin, and you just don't care, and you don't repent. That is a sin unto death.
I have no exegetical reason for this interpretation other than by process of elimination it seems to be the best fit. |
If you're right, then that would mean that there are two sins for which there is no forgiveness, the other being the "unpardonable sin" (rejecting the work of work of God in salvation by attributing it to the Devil). I think most theologians say that this latter one is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness.
Interesting interpretation, though.
