Jesus made a distinction between sins that will be forgiven and the sin that will never be forgiven in Mark 3.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Even some blasphemy shall be forgiven but there is a blasphemy that shall never be forgiven. It is very important to understand the difference. Jesus actually paid for the sins of the whole world on the cross, with the exception of the sin here referred to as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
One key detail we should note about the "unpardonable sin" is that it is not a sin of ignorance. Nobody can commit the unpardonable sin in ignorance. Nicodemus had already testified of the Pharisees that they knew Jesus was of God because of the miracles he did ( John 3:2) but the Pharisees here accused Jesus of performing miracles by the power of the devil.
What was the real crime here that was so serious as to seal a person's doom in hell? It was the crime of lying against the known truth of God revealing a hateful rejection of the Holy Spirit's message to their hearts that Jesus is God and that sinners must come to Him for forgiveness and salvation. When the Holy Spirit enlightens a sinner if that sinner rejects the light he stands near the dropping off point into hell reserved for all who hatefully reject Jesus because of their love for sin.
