Is there an unforgivable sin?


Yes.

According to Jesus, you can be forgiven all kinds of sin and blasphemy, except for one: blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matthew 12:31-32

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. Mark 3:29

But unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. Luke 12:10

Those who deny Jesus will be denied by Jesus. (Which implies Jesus will never forgive them for denying him.)

Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.Matthew 10:33
