1 | i'm still not getting this | Matt 12:31 | brookelynne1982 | 91615 | ||
well that's the scripture i quoted in my original question. i simply want to know WHY it's forgivable to blaspheme against god and the son but NOT the holy spirit, and i'm not trying to be difficult, i promise, i just really want to know, and i've asked several people in my church and none of them have given me a satisfactory answer, so if anyone can help me out on this i'd be very grateful. | ||||||

Consider this: Someone who sins against God, but repents, is forgiven. In fact, is not all sin against God? If a person sins against the H. S. they are rejecting the teaching, or instructions, from God, and by implication, are practising these deeds. As long as a person continues to reject the word of God, they have no salvation. So the issue is whether the sinner feels remorse to repent or not. If they commit sin with disregard of God's master plan (as provided by the H. S.)then they will be eternally unclean. AO |

AO, True, but isn't sin and blasphemy two different things (Still keeping in mind that blasphemy is a sin.)? Blasphemy would be a specific type of sin, not sin in general. Brooklynne has an excellent question here. I wonder if it is even fully explainable. I never considered this, just figured I'll never blaspheme the Holy Ghost, so I never worried about it. Now I'm curious. I'm going to search the scriptures and see if I can come up with anything. Do you think you could expound on your answer some more? Because the way I read the scripture is that a repentant heart or not, blasphemy against the HG will not be forgiven. Christ never gave any implication to repentance from this sin. What are your thoughts on that? Yours in Christ, Sal |
