Blasphemy Against Holy Spirit

Outline for Whispering Pines Bible Study, 7.30.21. 


Blasphemy against Holy Spirit

Matt. 12:31

Mark 3:28-29.

Luke 12:10

The Unpardonable Sin

 “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.

Blasphemy: slander, railings, reviling, abusive language, speech injurious to one’s good name. vilification.

 

It Was Serious And They Knew It:

Leviticus 24:15-16 death penalty for blasphemy

 

They Accused Jesus Of Blasphemy And Wanted To Kill Him For It:

(Mt 9:1-8)(Mk 2:1-12)(Lk 5:17-26) For telling the paralytic his sins were forgiven.

(Jn 10:30-33) For “making Himself God.”

(Mt 26:63-66)(Mk 14:61-64)(Lk 22:67-71) For claiming to be “the Christ, the Son of God.”

(Jn 5:17-18) For saying “God was his Father, making himself equal with God.”

(Jn 8:58-59) For calling Himself the “I AM.”

 

Blasphemy: revile, slander, call evil good and good evil.

Matt. 27:39:  they that passed by reviled him. Reviled = same word as blasphemy.

Ephesians 4:31 – evil speaking, slander (slander same word)

Isaiah 5:20-21 Wo to them who call good evil and evil good = definition of blasphemy

It happens little by little.

Hebrews 3:7-11 Today, if you hear His Voice harden not your heart. Those who did—never entered in.  

Each time we ignore, turn from, reject, HIS still small Voice, our hearts harden, little by little, until…

We blaspheme the Holy Spirit, knowingly revile the work of God; willfully slander The Holy Spirit; purposefully, reject the The Truth and promote the liar, calling evil good and good evil…accuse Life to death, by being one with the crowd crying, “crucify Him, crucify Him.” "My body, my choice." "Give us what we want or we'll burn down the system. Separate church from state. God got confused and put Susie's soul in Johnny's body. 

 Until one’s heart is past the point of no return, calloused, hardened seared 1Timothy 4:1-2

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron"

 

The end result:

Revelation 16:8,10,21 – blaspheme God rather than repent, even to their own destruction.
