I have been asked on many occasions concerning what the unpardonable sin is.
Many have told me that it's the act of not repenting of sin. I decided
to find out what the Bible says about it. This is what I find...
The most significant description is what Christ brought to our attention in
Matthew.
We find that Matthew tells us of the time when the blind and dumb man was
brought to Jesus. Jesus immediately healed the man so he could both
see and speak. Everyone was amazed that this man, a decendant of David,
was able to do this (1).
The Pharisees we intent on destroying the credibility of this Jesus of
Nazareth... the Christ. Pharisees were a self-righteous
which Christ refered to as vipers(2)(3)(4).
These pharisees heard about Jesus healing the man so they came to harass Him.
Again, they were desiring to discredit the power of God and Righteousness of
Christ and claimed that the power that Christ had used to heal the man was of
Beelzebub
(satan)(5).
Of course we are aware that Christ used the power of the Holy Ghost because
of what he told these Pharisees later.
Jesus was aware of what they were thinking and said that when a group is
divided, they cannot stand...(4)
they will fail. Then he exclaims that if He cast out devils, he did
it by the Spirit of God... the Holy Ghost; for a devil
cannot cast out a devil(6).
Only the power of the Holy Spirit can cast out a devil.
Then Jesus gives us the most credible description concerning the result of
what is called blasphemy. He says that we can blaspheme Him, or anything
else... but never the Holy Spirit(7)
because the Holy Spirit is the Father of Christ(8)...
and of course His God(9)(10)(11).
Then Thomas refered to Jesus as His God... so indeed, Christ
was God as well as His Father, the Holy Ghost(12).
When Christ spoke of the actions of the Pharisees, did He Lie? I think
not... He can't lie(13).
Therefore, when the Pharisees said that the Power and authority that
Christ used was devilish... in other words, the Holy Ghost is
devish.
That's what blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is... saying God's good
is evil. This is why God take offense at blasphemy. His power is
greater than any other power... because His power created everything
that exists. He doesn't like the devil getting credit for His miracles
and such. Remember, God is a jealous God(14)(15).
