BLASPHEMES
In response to religious leaders who accused Jesus’ use of the
power of the Holy Spirit, as being from “demons” [Mk 3:22],
Jesus stated “ANYONE WHO ·SPEAKS AGAINST
[BLASPHEMES] THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NEVER BE
FORGIVEN” [Mk 3:29 EX]{Mt 12:31}{Lk 12:10}. Two other
clarifying translations are “WHOEVER BLASPHEMES
AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS POWER [BY
ATTRIBUTING THE MIRACLES DONE BY ME TO SATAN]
NEVER HAS FORGIVENESS” [Mk 3:29 AMP] and “IF YOU
PERSIST IN YOUR SLANDERS AGAINST GOD’S HOLY
SPIRIT, YOU ARE REPUDIATING THE VERY ONE WHO
FORGIVES” [Mk 3:29 MSG]. On a positive note, if a person is
concerned that they have committed the “unforgivable sin”, the
very fact they are concerned proves they are not rejecting God’s
spirit. People who persist in blaspheming or speaking evil of God’s
spirit are rejecting their only way for forgiveness and for salvation.
