Bible Question:
The key begins in verse 24. Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not recognizing Him as the Spirit of God, rejecting Him who is the one 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." so why is it forgivable to blaspheme against god and the son? |
Bible Answer: Dear brookelynne1982 "so why is it forgivable to blaspheme against god and the son?" Better minds the my own may be able to answer your Q more fully. But for now, consider what Jesus said: Matt 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven What more does one need to know?
