What is the DEADLY SIN mentioned in 1 John 5:16-17?
1 John 5:16-17 (New International Version)
16If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
Well for the Catholic interpretation google "moral sin", you’ve probably already heard of the seven deadly sins.
Other Churches have their own take on the matter.
Personally I think there is one deadly (unforgivable) sin and that is dying in a state of being unrepentant. It’s based on the view that any sin that can be confessed and repented of can be forgiven but permanently hardening your heart to the point where you cannot detect or hate your own sin is unforgivable since it can’t be repented of.
The sin referred to is blowing ones nose in public, without a handkerchief. It is a sin that will lead to death.

The only one that can not be forgiven. And no one will ever know how to do it. If someone knew, some stupid idiot would have to try it and see and never be forgiven. God is good, so we will never know how to do this or be able to do this.
We had one rule at first, do not eat the apple. One rule, and we failed in it. So in Jesus there are no rules, so we can not fail in it. God is good.
bless you.

Theologians and interpreters of this passage give this as "wilful apostasy from the faith and from the known truth." Such apostates are today, hardened and deaf to all admonitions, will do nothing in spite of obvious doctrinal errors, refuse correction, especially from those who have remained traditional Catholic, and are running into the "sin which is unto death," mass final impenitence.
The Full Apostasy now gripping the hierarchy & members of the Novus Ordo Church is the first and last of this kind of sin, and is applicable to St. John’s prophecy of the Latter Days, of which St. John wrote. The Apostasy from the Doctrine, the Faith, is complete and solid throughout the world and has become a Final Impenitence of proportions unknown in the Church. Members are blindly remaining in this sin, unconfessed and unabsolved as their priesthood has invalidated its own orders and cannot absolve!
The Apostasy has "gone silent" after 50 years, but it remains, lurking "unto death" unless restoration of valid sacerdotal Orders and the Faith occurs, IF IT OCCURS. St. John knew what this sin is & tells of it in relation to the Latter Days in his Epistle, prophesying that "not that any man ask the remission," meaning that "they don’t ask because they have refused to believe they are apostate from the faith. A sin of this magnitude has to be KNOWN IN ORDER TO BE FORGIVEN.
These are the incomprehending, who trot behind their imposter priests, joined by the Protestants & Old Catholic clergy, all again appearing on the scene as "Catholic" priests and they cheer the Novus Ordo into following their own historic apostasy from the Faith over a hundred years ago, while they call themselves by the name of "Father," pretending they are not excommunicated. They are part of the Latter Days false clergy, all unable to perceive the "sin unto death."
St. John gives little encouragement to those who pray for these apostates, but that they are rather to "expect what they ask." [which means, they are praying to stop the blindness, but St. John advises the sin will remain] This is, thereby the "sin which is unto death," unforgiveable loss of soul.
