AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 12:10 "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [that is, whoever intentionally discredits the Holy Spirit by attributing the authenticating miracles done by Me to Satan], it will not be forgiven him [for him there is no forgiveness]. [Matt 12:31; Mark 3:28-30] |
Subject: Again on blaspheming the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Good quote, WOS! I always appreciate Spurgeon! Here is how Albert Barnes paraphrases this passage, "He that speaks against me as a man of Nazareth -- that speaks contemptuously of My humble birth, etc., may be pardoned; but he that reproaches My divine nature, charging me with being in league with Satan, and blaspheming the power of God manifestly displayed 'by Me,' can never obtain forgiveness." The jury is still out on the interpretation of this phrase for me, I guess. In Him, Doc |
