Taking A Closer Look: The Unpardonable Sin CH.6.

The architectural integrity of the Covenant is built upon the permanence of the transformative work of the Almighty, which precludes the fragile notion of a salvation that can be obtained and subsequently discarded. To suggest that the indwelling of the Ruach (Roo-akh) — Spirit is a temporary state is to deny the sovereign potency of the Divine seal. Once the cure of the Creator has been introduced into the marrow of a man, it overpowers the venom of the missed-mark with an absolute finality; a body that has been truly resurrected by the living breath does not revert to a corpse at the whim of the flesh. Therefore, the injury directed at the Breath of the Almighty is not the tragedy of a fallen believer, but the exposure of a counterfeit presence. It is the revelation of those who occupied the outer courts of the sanctuary without ever having entered the inner chamber of the King. Just as a piece of iron may be painted gold to deceive the merchant, many assume the outward hue of holiness while their substance remains base and unrefined. The transition from life to death is not a revolving door; rather, those who stand in the end as rejected were never participants in the vital life of the Vine.

This theological absolute is anchored in the distinction between religious activity and covenantal intimacy. The performance of wonders, the vocalization of prophecies, and the casting out of dividing-spirits are not, in themselves, evidence of the Spirit’s indwelling if the source of the power is the ambition of man rather than the command of the Most High. The individual who claims the empowerment of the Ruach (Roo-akh) — Spirit while their inner man remains a stranger to the Sovereign is engaged in the very essence of injurious speech. They are attributing human or deceptive impulses to the Set-Apart Breath, creating a false witness that misleads the assembly. This is the condition of the laborers of lawlessness (outside of covenant who simulate the kingdom to mask their own vacancy. One cannot receive the absolute antidote and then succumb to the same poison it was designed to eradicate; to believe otherwise is to believe the poison is stronger than the Healer. The rejection faced by these individuals is not a revocation of a previous status, but a declaration of an eternal absence of relationship.

The testimony of the Codex Vaticanus brings this reality into sharp focus, recording the words of Yehoshua as He addresses the claimants of false empowerment. The phrasing utilized in the ancient Greek is definitive, pointing not to a lost connection, but to a connection that was never established in the history of the soul.

Οὐ πᾶς ὁ λέγων μοι Κύριε κύριε εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἀλλ’ ὁ ποιῶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. πολλοὶ ἐροῦσίν μοι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ· Κύριε κύριε, οὐ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι ἐπροφητεύσαμεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δαιμόνια ἐξεβάλομεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δυνάμεις πολλὰς ἐποιήσαμεν; καὶ τότε ὁμολογήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι Οὐδέποτε ἔγνων ὑμᾶς· ἀποχωρεῖτε ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν.

Ou pas ho legōn moi Kyrie kyrie eiseleusetai eis tēn basileian tōn ouranōn, all’ ho poiōn to thelēma tou patros mou tou en tois ouranois. polloi erousin moi en ekeinē tē hēmera; Kyrie kyrie, ou tō sō onomati eprophēteusamen, kai tō sō onomati daimonia exebalomen, kai tō sō onomati dynameis pollas epoiēsamen; kai tote homologēsō autois hoti Oudepote egnōn hymas; apochōreite ap’ emou hoi ergazomenoi tēn anomian.

Not all the saying to me Authority Authority shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the doing the will of the Father of me the in the heavens. Many will say to me in that the day; Authority Authority, not in the thy name we spoke-forth-messages, and in the thy name dividing-spirits we cast-out, and in the thy name works-of-power many we performed? And then I will acknowledge to them that Never I knew you; depart-from-space from me the ones working the lawlessness. (Vaticanus – Matthew – 7 – 21-23)

The weight of the phrase Oudepote egnōn (Oo-deh-poh-teh eg-nohn) — Never I knew, signifies a total absence of experiential union from the inception of their deeds. These were not citizens who became traitors; they were foreigners who donned the uniform of the kingdom to advance their own name. By operating under the guise of the Ruach (Roo-akh) — Spirit while being devoid of its sanctifying presence, they committed the ultimate slander, portraying the Spirit as an accomplice to their lawlessness. This is the danger of the religious theater where the actors begin to believe their own performance. The one who truly possesses the Breath is transformed by it, becoming a new creation that cannot return to the corruption of the old. To speak as if one has the Breath when one is empty is the injurious speech that marks the soul for age-enduring missed-marking, for it is a rejection of the Truth in the most deceptive form possible.
