There is no more getting away with blasphemy.

[ScottA]

A word of caution:

There is so much hate and lies witnessed here. Which is very sad, to say the least. But there are times when there are consequences--serious consequences...because the Holy Spirit speaks through people, and "some have entertained angels (messengers) without knowing" Hebrews 13:2.

Since Pentecost things have changed. Up until that time one could blasphemy and even kill those sent by God, and it was forgivable. But not any more.

Jesus/God laid out the terms and drew a line in the sand:

Matthew 12:32​

Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.​

Mark 13:11​

But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.​

John 14:26​

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.​

Acts 2:4​

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.​

The essence of blasphemy is the misrepresentation of God. The insidiousness of it is that it is done under the banner of witnessing for God.

Until the MOTB comes there is currently only one unforgivable sin :-
Dying while REJECTING that Christ died, was buried then rose again so that ALL your sins can be forgiven.

Note the word, "Age" Scott... So many ages have passed, and how many are still yet to come, even after Jesus died, which has come to pass... what his age is in our life has passed after He spoke. No scripture teaches that sin is unforgivable! Only in those important ages!

It is Jesus--God who defined the ages, saying, "Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected", confirming, "I will pour out My Spirit in those days."

So, unless you are wanting to deny the Holy Spirit being present during these days... Well, that's your choice.

Scott.... I'm going to give you two Biblical verses. Just two. From these two verses... Tell me what you see about the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 10:20 (ESV) for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Luke 12:12 (ESV) For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

Same event, different authors... Now you know.... why... the Holy Spirit is never worshiped, prayed to, or has a seat on a throne in scripture.

Your welcome

You giving me two verses does not address you seemingly dodging the activity of the Holy Spirit during these last days, that "He" could be blasphemed during (that was my point).

What then is your point--that the Holy Spirit is simply the spirit of the Father? What? And then--what does it matter, if blaspheming that Spirit is unforgivable according to Christ? Are you denying that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit even possible?

Well I agree with you that many people hold animosity and even directly lie! But neither of those are blasphemy.

 

[ScottA]

Well I agree with you that many people hold animosity and even directly lie! But neither of those are blasphemy.

On the contrary, if many can unknowingly entertain angels, many can also unknowingly entertain the Holy Spirit...and it is their own behavior that determines whether it is blasphemy or not.

Scott said.. "that the Holy Spirit is simply the spirit of the Father? What? And then--what does it matter.... You tell me! Go to your church tomorrow.. and tell your Pastor... "that the Holy Spirit is simply the spirit of the Father" and not a 3rd member of the Trinity!
