How do we know the unpardonable sin is not real?

Answered in 1 source

The unpardonable sin is a misinterpretation; the Bible does not specify any sin, including unbelief, as unforgivable but highlights rejection of Christ as the barrier to forgiveness.

Throughout scripture, particularly in the passages from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the idea of an unpardonable sin is not explicitly stated by God but is often attributed to interpretations by men. The Bible emphasizes that all sins can be forgiven through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Unbelief, a state we all start in due to the fall, is included in the forgiveness offered through Christ. Those who die in unbelief do not receive forgiveness, not because of a specific sin being unpardonable, but because they have rejected the only solution for their sins—the blood of Jesus Christ. Thus, understanding this framework shows that the unpardonable sin concept is more about rejecting the means of forgiveness than identifying a particular sin as unforgivable.
