1 | What is meant by 'age'? | Matt 12:32 | kalos | 106063 | ||
Makarios: I believe what the verse is very plainly saying is: "it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." As I understand it, "either in this age or in the age to come" relates not to the time in which the sin is committed, but to the time in which it will not be forgiven. I would paraphrase (interpret) this verse to mean that this particular sin won't be forgiven NOW and it won't be forgiven LATER. I don't claim to have the one right answer. This is merely what I understand the verse to mean. kalos |

2 | What is meant by 'age'? | Matt 12:32 | Ray | 106241 | ||
Hi Kalos, Mommapbs has written to me about your post and I have reread it to see if I misunderstood you. The question is, "Does it matter when these sins are committed?" Especially, verse 32, "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him". The question is, will this sin be forgiven in the age(s) after Christ? In other words, should we in this age know that the Son of Man is the Holy Spirit; that He is God? 1) In verse 30 Jesus said, "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters." I see this as saying, "If you are against Me you are against God." I think we all should gather with Him and know that He is Spirit. What are your thoughts? From the heart, Ray |
