Subject: i'm still not getting this |
Bible Note: 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 |
