An Eternal Sin


Mark 3:27-30 ESV
27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.

28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

The binding seems to be the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is that restraint that is placed upon Satan, and the seal that marks us as Christ's own. 
Those opposing Jesus were saying that his power did not come from God, but from Satan. This is blasphemy against God Himself. The Holy Spirit gives witness.
