Think of your idea of The Unforgivable Sin. Got it? Good.
I don't have a single example, but multiple ones.
Homosexuality, Being transgender, having had or performing an abortion, Rape, murder, ... it goes on and on for me.

And you? Where you are concerned (Because I have already done it, and do it repeatedly each time I hear MAGAites decry some immigrant misdoing) take your idea of The Unforgivable Sin in hand and lay it at the feet of the Prodigal Son's Father.

And don't be swayed by the protest, "But he repented and asked for forgiveness!" Because, if you read the text, the Father cuts short his son's memorized "confession," with, "Get out of here with your litany of remorse and contrition! That has no place here! You were lost and now you are found! You were dead, but now you are alive! Welcome to the joy of your Father!" (Or words to that effect).

The Father of the Prodigal Son puts to rest eternally the need to repent and the need for any redemption and atonement ever by anyone, no matter what. Which is exactly Jesus' point. 

We are not bound by our sin! We are freed by our recognition of the true nature of the Father, who will not allow anything we do to stand between us and the full embrace of the truth of who we are and what we are to be about: seeing, hearing, understanding, knowing, doing, being who we need to be in each situation as it arises in perceiving what's what and what is called for here, now, in doing what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done, no matter what forever. No. Matter. What. Forever.

We are free from sin--as free as the Prodigal Son--through all that remains of time. Allow it to be so because it is so eternally.
