Regardless of whether or not we commit that, the point is blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
You are at the wrong - at the false point. ALL sin is sin against the Holy Spirit for no sin can man give in to which GOD through his Holy Spirit urges him not to do, pleads with him FOR CHRIST'S SAKE not to fall into or be subjected by and be ruined more and more. NO SIN, NO SINNER be he an elect or reprobate. Nobody can blame God for his sin against GOD, because He is always in the right and man is ALWAYS IN THE WRONG. So no matter what sin he does man sins against the Holy Spirit of God,
and no matter FOR HOW LONG, Jesus' Power to Forgive sin is mighty to forgive every sin of God's child to the last moment of his life short or long.
All the restrictions the leaders of the church place on the sins of the servants of Christ are restrictions THEY have put on CHRIST and on the Power of his Resurrection which is the Power and Authority by which He laid down his own LIFE, and again TOOK UP his LIFE, which is the POWER AND AUTHORITY BY WHICH GOD FORGAVE AND FORGIVES ALL SINS-- sins against none other than HIMSELF in his intrinsic Being as God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, which is God's intrinsic and essential BEING, "according to the SCRIPTURES".
The
Scriptures and the
Spirit that breathed the Scriptures, "speak", "witness", "attest" and "testify" of and to "the
SON", so that "speaking words against the
Spirit" "speaking" in
Scripture, speaking of
the Son, is "speaking words" IN THE LAST ANALYSIS, "against", "the Son of Man",
Jesus "witnessed" to and "testified" of and "attested" by, IN THE FIRST PLACE, the Holy Spirit that "inspired", 'dictated' and "breathed the Scriptures".
To be the proverbial 'sin' or 'blasphemy against the Holy Spirit', ALL these things must actively and acutely have been involved and conscientiously and authoritatively have been considered and studied and weighed and decided over before committed. No simple honest layman is capable of these daunting conditions. It seems to be the sin of popes and prelates like haemophilia is the sickness of the kings and mighty.
