Bible Question:
Greetings Searcher, I know this is an old post, but as I read this verse (Mt 12:32), the words "age to come" caught my attention. You wrote: "Age is aion (Strong's 165) , which can mean period of time (this age) which will last until the next aion (the age to come) which is eternity, another meaning of aion." How can anyone speak against the Spirit in eternity when sin is no longer present? mommapbs |
Bible Answer: Great question mommapbs ......................... I may need to change my view. My first cut .... I think back Satan's fall, which I think, was before this age ... somehow he sinned. Now if "in the world and age to come" is eternity, there MAY be people who will "speaks against the Spirit, the Holy One" ... but I am not sure how. |
