AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 12:32 "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit [by attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan] will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. [Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10] |
Bible Question: Is it true that there is no forgiveness for the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? What is the punishment? |
Bible Answer: No one can become a Christian untill they are aware of their sin, and their need to be saved. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, see John Ch 16 vs 7-11. If a person so convicted refuses to believe what the Holy Spirit is telling them, then that person is calling the Holy Spirit a liar, ie Blasphemy, that person will go to Hell. Again, the only people who will be saved are thoes who believe exactly what the Spirit tells them, thoes who do not, will suffer eternal damnation. One who has become a Christian, has therefore gone past the point in time where he/her could possibly Blasphem the Holy Spirit. I hope that this is of help. God bles you. ebrain. |
