What is the unpardonable sin? Is it easy to commit this sin? Does committing this sin doom one to hell...even if a person, upon discovering that they have been in error, repents & changes their ways, is never-the-less going to be going to hell?

You don't fool me, jason. You're just bored and looking for a bigger thrill.

I' sure you're aware of the scripture that I'll paraphrase -- "it would be better that a engine block were tied around your neck and you were thrown overboard than were you to offend a little one via the CSA route." Best is to wholeheartedly serve the Lord and follow his commandments. It's a wonderful way to live.

Any sin we don't repent of is unforgivable. Also our sins are unforgivable if we do not love others, and forgive others 70x7. -> Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”*
Footnote: * Some manuscripts sins. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins.

"Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a -> little child, he shall not enter therein. When you look at it that way we are all little children which means each one of us have a far greater responsibility to not be offending others. Limiting offense to little children just might be a crutch to use the "virtue" carnal man likes to call "tough love" on our fellow man. Judgmental "tough love" very often offends. I think that's what Jesus was talking about.

Sometimes when we are feeling uncertain or fearful we cast our fear upon others...those who conveniently have no quick or acceptable response.
Nobody has come up with what the Unpardonable Sin is. Maybe we need to know what it is? Are we damned to hell forever...for having committed this ill-defined sin?
So any sin is unforgivable? Then why is there one sin that is specifically said to be unforgivible? We need to avoid this sin, since we will go to hell if we commit it...right?

I think that's what Jesus was talking about. I also believe that's what Jesus was talking about as the 'little ones'. He also made a point that whosoever is the least is the greatest! I heard a worker once state that the offense Jesus was talking about was an offense that caused someone to decide to quit serving God. That was a long time ago, so it could have been noted as the 'ultimate offense'.

For me the "Unpardonable Sin" is to preach christianity without living like a christian. In fact this proves beyond doubt that there is no holy spirit working in the life of the person in question, and implicitly leads people to become non-believers.
