1 | blasphemy against the holy spirit.... | Matt 12:24 | gracefull | 92813 | ||
Hello Ray/capitalizer Good to hear from you! You said... "You wrote about "rejecting Him who is the one who". As a person who is interested in capitalizing pronouns of Deity, I would think that it should read "the One who". We know that they are "one" in essence, but you are talking about the one Person, the Holy Spirit." I believe you are correct. I hesitated when typing this but moved on based on the fact that Him was the subject, but now I realize the ONE should have also been capitalized. thanks "But on your second point.. "The other thing that I would point out is that the Pharasees did not call Him an unclean or evil Spirit but rather, they said that He "has" an unclean spirit." You are correct that the Pharasees were saying the Spirit within Christ taking authority over the demons was not the Holy Spirit of God, but rather Beelzebub, or Satan. Thus they were calling the Holy Spirit demonic or 'unclean'. With that stated, please reread my original statement, with some emphasis in parenthesis added. I believe it will make sense to you, but if not, we can talk more. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not recognizing Him(the Holy Spirit-added as of this post) as the Spirit of God, rejecting Him(the Holy Spirit-added...) who is the One (capitalized because I believe this is the Holy Spirit of God-added) who draws us to Christ. If we reject the Holy Spirit calling Him evil as the Pharasees did, we can't come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Do you agree? God bless |

2 | blasphemy against the holy spirit.... | Matt 12:24 | Ray | 92935 | ||
Hi gracefull, Your parentheses that you have added to your statement make all of the pronouns to be speaking of the Holy Spirit. Is this Person of the Holy Spirit drawing us to a man, Christ? No, I don't believe you would say that. So the drawing to Christ and the saving faith in Jesus Christ would require your parentheses also. It is difficult to assign the pronouns to a particular Person of the Trinity. I believe that the resurrection of the Christ assures us that He is God, and since God is Spirit, we can think of all the pronouns as Spirit. That is why we capitalize them; to show Deity, Spirit, and not just a man but the Son of Man, the Son of God, a Holy Spirit. It is interesting is it not that there are three occurances of "against the Holy Spirit". These are "mathematical" matches in my ongoing study of pronouns. I can see that neither the Father, Son, nor the Holy Spirit can be blasphemed against. The only reason that the Son of Man can be blasphemed against is because Christ came in the likeness of men and the Son of Man was made a little lower than God. See Psalm 8:5, Hebrews 2:6-8. But at the last we will see all things subjected to Him. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, Your statement... "No, I don't believe you would say that. So the drawing to Christ and the saving faith in Jesus Christ would require your parentheses also." I correct. I used the name 'Christ'being the Messiah rather than the name Jesus the Christ, but that may be unclear to many. Your observation clears up any possible misunderstanding...Thanks It is interesting is it not that there are three occurances of "against the Holy Spirit". These are "mathematical" matches in my ongoing study of pronouns. I can see that neither the Father, Son, nor the Holy Spirit can be blasphemed against." Yes, that is an interesting observation. Although I am often intrigued by the numeric occurances in scripture, it has never been a study I cared to pursue myself. "But at the last we will see all things subjected to Him" WHAT A DAY THAT SHALL BE! God bless |
