Question
why is unpardonable?

Answer
There is really not a text, other than what Jesus said that explains why.  

Luk 12:10  And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

When we look at the job of they Holy Spirit, we can begin to see, denying the Spirit makes it impossible for a person to change.  


John 14:16-17 MKJV  And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever,  (17)  the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you.
John 14:26 MKJV  But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
John 15:26 MKJV  And when the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me.
John 16:13-14 MKJV  However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears, He shall speak. And He will announce to you things to come.  (14)  He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will announce it to you.

We can see the Holy Spirit,"teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance."  He is known as the, "Spirit of truth."  How can Christians grow without the Spirit?


2 Timothy 3:1-7 MKJV  Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand.  (2)  For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  (3)  without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good,  (4)  traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,  (5)  having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.  (6)  For of these are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women loaded with sins, led away with different kinds of lusts,  (7)  ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
