Unforgiveable

One of my favorite questions to ask people is, "if Hitler ever gave his life to Jesus, would he be saved?" This is uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it makes us question our own salvation. If Hitler cannot be forgiven, then when did he cross the line? What is that line? Essentially, it comes down to the topic of the unpardonable sin found in Mark 3 or Matthew 12. What does Jesus mean when he says that those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven? So, just how deep and wide and long is the grace of God? (EDIT — I say Pharisees a lot, but I meant Scribes. Sorry about that!) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Does it make you uncomfortable to think of Jesus giving grace and mercy to someone like Hitler? 2. How does knowing that Paul was forgiven make you feel towards God's justice? His grace? 3. How can we have peace about the security of salvation when the enemy makes us question our salvation?
