The Spirit <strong>of</strong> Prophecy explicitly declares that sins were committed, for<br />
which "no sacrifice could atone."[22] In <strong>the</strong> first quotation regarding Eli and<br />
his sons Ellen White declares that what was involved here is "blasphemy."<br />
She <strong>the</strong>n alluded to <strong>the</strong> same passage in Hebrews chapter 10, with <strong>the</strong> words,<br />
"trampling upon <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> covenant." Therefore, we draw <strong>the</strong><br />
following conclusions:<br />
- Hebrews 10:26–29 is a description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unpardonable sin.<br />
- The unpardonable sin is <strong>the</strong> sin for which no sacrifice can be accepted.<br />
- Jesus' sacrifice is not applicable to <strong>the</strong> unpardonable sin.<br />
- Because <strong>the</strong>re is no sacrifice for <strong>the</strong> unpardonable sin, that sin cannot<br />
be forgiven in this life or <strong>the</strong> life to come.<br />
- All sins have already been atoned for and judicially pardoned except<br />
<strong>the</strong> sin <strong>of</strong> blasphemy against <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit.<br />
- Therefore, <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unbeliever does not involve double<br />
jeopardy.<br />
- Unbelievers will suffer <strong>the</strong> penalty <strong>of</strong> eternal death for <strong>the</strong> sin for<br />
which Jesus did not die.<br />
