Christians Please Reconcile this Statement

I am wondering your Bible is giving me a very problematic view in that Jesus says two absolutely conflicting passages.

Quote:Mark 3:28–29
28 “aTruly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;
29 but awhoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—

Ok so there we go 'The Eternal Sin' but wait theres a problem here because Jesus also said....

Quote:
Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Or how about

Quote:
John 11

25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;26and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
or even

Quote:John 3:36
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

So considering at several locations in the Bible Jesus spoke more about believing in him to be 'Saved' then how can one commit this sin? Or is it indeed possible (I think it is) to commit this sin but at the same time achieve eternal life?

Technically a Sin against the Holy Spirit which cannot be forgiven goes against the very teachings that tell us as humans to 'Forgive lest we forgive'?

Since Jesus does not continue to warn anywhere else in the Bible about this sin could it be possible that although someone can commit it - It will fall upon Jesus through his blood thus rendering Jesus accountable for this sin?

or perhaps

Committing this sin will not affect ones standing before God as Jesus has already promised eternal life to him who believes. Therefore you bypass Judgement and enter into eternal life with an eternal sin?

lmao. its only a problem if you take it literaly or out of context.

you did both so it is double bad.
