242nd Post Jesus Said on the Holy Spirit Con't. - Matthew 12: 31 - 32.

Matthew 12: 31 - 32; 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.
Jesus spoke these words about 1.1/2 - 2 years into His earthly ministry. This passage is probably the most misunderstood passages Jesus spoke. To unlock this passage you must look at the context in which Jesus spoke these words. The religious leaders were accusing Jesus of casting out demons by the power of demons. Jesus never said He was using anything other than the Power of God. Here the religious leaders, are changing the meaning of His Words and deeds. They were saying that Jesus was working for Satan, instead of GOD! One of the attributes of God is that He Can Not Lie! On this truth alone, the religions that say Jesus and Satan are brothers is False! God can not do anything evil! Now lets look at the part of the passage that says words against Jesus or the Father will be forgiven but not those against the Holy Spirit. I need more space to explain this, but I have run out of room in this post.
