1 | Blasphemy against Holy Spirit | Mark 3:30 | iamreedmd | 118980 | ||
In Luke 12 verse 10 the bible states that anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. What does that mean could someone please give me an example of what is considered blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Thank you. | ||||||
2 | Blasphemy against Holy Spirit | Mark 3:30 | BrettFoster | 119037 | ||
I am not dogmatic about my interpretation, but I think Hank's scriptures quotes back up my point. If Hank is right, then I'm right. How can you blaspheme something you don't have or even understand? You are ignorant of the Holy Spirit until you accept Jesus as your saviour. When you accept Jesus, He gives you the Holy Spirit for comfort and to be "taught all things". This would imply spiritual ignorance for those without the Holy Spirit. Why would any "non-believer" speak against "blaspheme" the Holy Spirit, especially since they probably don't know the consequences? To what end...for what purpose? Makes no sense. The non-believer is quite good at cursing God or saying J.C. at the drop of a hat...all forgivable. Have you EVER heard ANYONE in your life speak against the Holy Spirit? Of course not. That is because I believe it is an ACT...the one described in Hebrews 6:4. Whether or not Hank is right, or we're both right, is moot if we are believers. There is however a good 3rd possibility when you look up the meaning of blasphemy. It could also apply to those who exalt themselves as or above God...see #1b SYLLABICATION: blas·phe·my PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: blsf-m KEY NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. blas·phe·mies 1a. A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity. b. The act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God. 2. An irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct. Hank implies I have made up my mind and I'm finding scripture to back it up...on the contrary. I believe all 3 views mentioned have scriptural merit. Now look at Hanks verse Matt 12:31-32...then mine Hebrews 6:4-6. Notice there is NO repentance or forgiveness in both verses. They fit! Matthew 12 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Hebrews 6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. And there you have it...accepted Christ...fell away...condemned to hell...CANNOT repent...obviously will never be forgiven.....UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!! I am openminded, but I believe my interpretation has scripural merit. Brett www.raptureforce.com |

3 | Blasphemy against Holy Spirit | Mark 3:30 | Hank | 119040 | ||
Brett: Obviously you are the person on the other forum that Norrie has mentioned. Welcome to this one! For an excellent (to my mind, at any rate) exegesis on Hebrews 6:4-6 go to www.Spurgeon.org/sermons/0075.htm ..... Charles Haddon Spurgeon is my favorite expositional preacher of all time -- besides Jesus, Peter and Paul, of course! He uses pen and ink the way a master painter uses brush and oils. and his words paint as vivid a picture on paper as an artist's oils ever painted on canvas. --Hank | ||||||
4 | Blasphemy against Holy Spirit | Mark 3:30 | Norrie | 119124 | ||
From Brett. Our Delphi forums are easier to get around on. :) Norrie, I jumped onto that other forum last night late. I don't like it...hard to navigate and post. John 10 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Again I agree with Hank on John 10:27-29 above, but he is missing the point. Yes, no man can pluck you away from Christ. However, you can pluck yourself away, by "falling away" on your own. Once you do this, you can NEVER seek repentance again. To do so would mock Jesus. You may seek repentance, but he will rebuke and not forgive you......UNFORGIVABLE SIN....case closed. Notice Jesus says he will give eternal life IF the sheep that hear his voice do what??? FOLLOW HIM. If you fall away and the Holy Ghost leaves you, you are NOT following him anymore....again, the UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!! See Hebrews 6:4-6, Luke 8:12-14. It is apparent based on doctrine that you MUST follow Jesus after accepting him. If you don't, the Holy Spirit may leave you. Why would he leave unless He was blasphemed? Once He does leave, the unforgivable sin has occurred. It is "impossible" to reverse this as we see below: Hebrews 6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. I hope this better explains it.....You can post this on the other forum if you think it has merit. I wonder what Judah's thoughts on this are!
