Matthew 12:31–32
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Parallel Verses:
Luke 12:10
“And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
Mark 3:28-30
“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
- A controversial text, because a lot of believers are fearful that they might have committed this kind of sin?
- In most cases the people that worries that they've committed this sin are not guilty, but to those who are comfortable are the ones guilty.
1. If you are a born again Christian you can still commit this sin and loose your salvation?
2. Will this contradict to some verses that teaches that once saved is always saved? Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39, 1 John 1:9 , John 10:28, John 6:37.
And a lot of wrong interpretation about this topic circulating in the Christian community that adds paranoia and anxiety.
1. That, Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is the continuous rejection of the gospel.-- That could be a sign but not accurate. Because even in your death bed you can still be saved if you believe/accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour.
2. Suicide is a blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
3. Faking speaking in tongues, skeptical about Sunday service.
What is blasphemy? An act or offense of speaking against God, profane talk, insulting word thown at God.
The act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God. Biblical definition of blasphemy is putting yourself in the place of God. John 10:30, Like 5:21,
Rev. 2:9, I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is when you speak against Jesus Christ to His face, when Jesus was on earth, like what the Pharisees did. Very Intentional attribution to the work of God to be demonic .1 Cor 3:12
Mark 3:29-30
Why the Holy Spirit? Because of the Holy Spirit, The agency were we obtain forgiveness. John 14:26, John 16:8
Not only that, The Holy Spirit convicts, heals and cast-out demons. Jesus Christ is in one with God the Father and Holy Spirit.
Having received the full revelation of Jesus Christ, His nature, His Life, His miracles and Salvation and yet reject Him and associate Him to be demonic means no forgiveness and no salvation. It's the same as the sin of Apostasy.
If a professing Christian fall into this kind of sin, shows the person is not a genuine believer in Christ.
