1 | Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and punishm | Matt 12:32 | ebrain | 160129 | ||
No one can become a Christian untill they are aware of their sin, and their need to be saved. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, see John Ch 16 vs 7-11. If a person so convicted refuses to believe what the Holy Spirit is telling them, then that person is calling the Holy Spirit a liar, ie Blasphemy, that person will go to Hell. Again, the only people who will be saved are thoes who believe exactly what the Spirit tells them, thoes who do not, will suffer eternal damnation. One who has become a Christian, has therefore gone past the point in time where he/her could possibly Blasphem the Holy Spirit. I hope that this is of help. God bles you. ebrain. |

3 | Blasphemy against the Spirit | Matt 12:32 | Ambie | 160183 | ||
Jesus was here trying to say that,you can do all sort of things like rejecting Him as the Savour,but to deliberately and eye-openly see God's power being demonstrated and to attribute it as coming from Satan is too much for the heavens to forgive .In otherwords, you are saying that the Trinity as a whole is powerless since the Holy Spirit is the power souce of the Trinity.The Pharisees knew very well that Satan was dethroned but just wanted to make mockery of Jesus. | ||||||
4 | Blasphemy against the Spirit | Matt 12:32 | ebrain | 160331 | ||
Allow me to add a litle to what I have allready said on this subject. Have a look firstly at John Ch 3 v 13, "no one has aascended into heaven except he who decended from heaven, the Son of Man" Now look at Hosea Ch 5 v 15, "I will return again to my place,untill they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me". The Hebrew word translated "guilt" is singular and refers to one national sin only, the rejection by the Jews of their anointed one, Jesus the Christ. Up to the end of Matthew Ch 12, Jesus had made it quite clear that He was that person, after His rejection, He told His followers to tell no one that He was the Christ. The Pharisees had taught that anyone could perform miracles who was empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit, but that there were certain miricles that only the Christ when he came would be able to perform. One of these was to cast out a mute/dumb spirit. When He did this as shown at Matthew Ch 12 vs 22-32, the people said to the Pharisees "is not this the Son of David", in other words this man has just done what you have allways told us could only be done by the Christ?. The Scribes and Pharisees knew full well who He was, but they enjoyed their position of power, and authority too much to "allow this man to rule over them". The unforgivable sin, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was their rejection, and thereby the nations rejection of the one who God had sent to save them. As a matter of interest, other miracles that they maintained only Christ would be able to perform were, opening the eyes of one born blind. healing lepers, and raising back to life a person who had been dead more than 3 days. I hope that this is of some help. Christian love. ebrain. P.S. If you wish I can explain just why the Pharisees selected these 4 miracles. |
