• The Unforgiveable Sin
  • "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." (Luke 12:10)
  • Three questions arise from this
    • What is this blasphemy that will not be forgiven?
    • Is God not merciful and capable of forgiving any sins for which repentance is given?
    • Why is blasphemy against the Son of Man okay, but not the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit greater than the Son?
  • The important notice is that this event follows the casting out of the demon by the Lord that made the man blind and mute (Luke 11:14-23) and the accusation of the Pharisees against the Lord that He casts out demons by Beelzebub, and His response about the house divided against itself. St Matthew has this all in one section (Matthew 12:22-32)
