What is the biggest sin that God will not forgive?

According to Christian scripture, the "unforgivable sin" or "eternal sin" is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which involves a persistent, willful rejection and attributing the work of God (through the Spirit) to evil, essentially hardening one's heart to God's grace and forgiveness, making repentance impossible. This isn't a single act but a settled, defiant attitude, often described as attributing Jesus's miracles to Satan, as detailed in Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29, and Luke 12:10.

What sins does God not forgive?

The primary sin God doesn't forgive, according to Jesus, is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is a persistent, willful rejection of God's grace and the Spirit's work, often seen as hardening one's heart against repentance and attributing the Spirit's actions to evil. It's not a single act but a final, persistent refusal to accept forgiveness, essentially choosing to remain unforgiven, making it unforgivable because God honors free will. Other traditions mention denying the Holy Ghost, shedding innocent blood, and certain sexual sins (like adultery) as particularly grievous, but ultimately, any sin unrepented remains unforgiven.
