This connection's citations are checked against the source text.

Book of Mormon Alma 39:6
"if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable"
Book of Mormon Jacob 7:19
"I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin, for I have lied unto God"

The term 'unpardonable' occurs at exactly two verses in the corpus (Alma 39:6 and Jacob 7:19). Alma DEFINES the unpardonable sin (denying the Holy Ghost against knowledge); Sherem, dying, FEARS his lie qualifies. The two contexts are not the same claim and are reported each in its own frame, deliberately left unharmonized.
