The Unpardonable Sin

Matthew 12:31-32

Verse: “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. v32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.."
Context: Jesus speaks to the Pharisees, warning them about attributing His miracles to Satan.

Mark 3:28-29

Verse: "Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: v29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:"
Context: This reinforces the idea that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is a serious offense with eternal consequences.

Luke 12:10

Verse: "And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."
Context: Similar to the other accounts, this verse emphasizes the unique nature of the sin against the Holy Spirit.

In the text examples above, it openly states that you can blaspheme the son of man, Jesus Christ and be forgiven. What is missing is that it doesn’t say anything about God Himself as in the Father. So can you blaspheme God Himself and get away with it? I beg not. God is Holy, and He is Spirit. He is the Holy Spirit in these examples. God is a jealous God and in the Old Testament He punished His people for many things. This is common sense. But in trinitarian land, it must be okay to blaspheme God, but not some mystery ghost that no one knows the identity of. Just food for thought here.

1 Corinthians 2:14 — “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

John 1:5, 10-11 — “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. v10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. v11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”

In trinitarian land, they contribute these verses in John 1 to Jesus. But it is the Father who is light for 1 John 1:5 is states: “….God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” The darkness that God shine into was His people at the time, the Israelites and people of Judah. But the majority knew him not and did not receive him through His messengers, the prophets. They killed the prophets and turned to idol worship. “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord.” (many accounts are recorded in the book of Judges and the two books of Kings I and II.)

The unpardonable sin is often interpreted as a deliberate and ongoing rejection of the truth

revealed by the Holy Spirit aka Spirit of God, particularly in relation to Jesus Christ. This would

include a persistent attitude of rebellion against God, lying to God or even cursing Him.

Lets review a lesson about Israel:

Isaiah 63:7-10 — “I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. v8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. v9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. v10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. v11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him? v12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? v13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? v14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.”

This is God Himself by His Spirit being with the house of Israel leading them until they turned from Him and then God recalled His mercy on them.

Here is a lesson about lying directly to God through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit.

Acts 5:1-11

Verses: “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, v2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. v3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? v4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. v5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. v6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. v7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. v8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. v9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. v10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. v11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.”
Context: In this story, Ananias and his wife Sapphira tried to hold back what was promised to God in selling a possession. When Peter stated that they lied to the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit), they actually lied to God Himself. And this is confirmed in verse 9 when it states that they together agreed to temp the Spirit of the Lord. By doing this, they tempted the Spirit of the Lord to act in anger. By lying to God, they were blaspheming Him.
