What is Blasphemy Against The Spirit?

Question

In Matthew 12:31 there is a warning about blasphemy against the Spirit. I know it means the Holy Spirit and I know the meaning of blasphemy. But, when I put to 2 together I get some questions...How do I know that I have not sined in this way. And for God not to forgive this one sin makes me think that there is/was something outside of God that was in existence before the world was created... because the Bible says that ALL things were created by Him, through Him, and for Him... Him being Jesus, who I undersatnd to be "one with the father"... But it also says that all things that are made were made by God... If the Bible is true, than for there to be a Devil or sin, now, it MUST have either been a part of God or the Bible is wrong and something must have been there with God that contained this cosmic sickness-sin. Please help!

Answer 1

TWO QUESTIONS

ANSWER 1:
YOU CAN'T BLASPHEME THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCIDENTLY.YOU WOULD HAVE TO "KNOW" THE TRUTH AND DENY IT TO BLASPHEME

ANSWER TWO:
GOD DID CREATE EVERYTHING INCLUDING SATAN!
HE GAVE THE ANGELS FREE WILL LIKE HE DID US(ELSE WE WOULD BE NO MORE THAN SOPHISTICATED MACHINES OR COMPUTERS)
ALOT OF FOLKS COULD MAKE A MACHINE THAT DOES WHAT THEY WANT IT TO DO AND SAY THAT IT LOVES THEM(BUT WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN?)
EACH OF US HAVE THE ABILITY TO ,AND DECISION TO SERVE AND BELIEVE GOD (WHO LOVES US) , OR SATAN (WHO HATES US BECAUSE WE WERE MADE IN GODS IMAGE).
SATAN DECIDED HE WAS EQUAL TO GOD AND THEREFORE HIS DECEPTION SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD WHO IS ALL TRUTH.

YOU DECIDE.FOLLOW A LIAR OR THE TRUTH!

Answer 2

Christ's strong words didn't appear in a vacuum. Instead, they were expressed in response to a statement by certain Pharisees who, after witnessing a healing performed by Jesus, said He "cast out devils" (Matt. 12:24) by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. This attitude was taken in the face of undeniable evidence given them of His divine power: the holiness of His life, which they could but recognize and which they later tacitly admitted (John 8:46); His supernatural healing of the sick (Matt. 8:14-17, Mark 1:29-34, etc.); His casting out of devils (Matt. 9:32, 33); and His raising of the dead (Luke 7:11-17).

However, by refusing to admit Christ's divinity, and by actively opposing Him, these men had placed themselves in such a position that they were forced to explain His works on some other grounds than divine and, hence, assigned to Satan the work of God. They thereby closed their minds to the evidence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit impresses truth upon the mind and heart (John 14:17, 16:13) and convicts of sin (John 16:8). But although God is long-suffering and merciful and not willing that any should perish (2 Pet. 3:9), His Spirit will not labor with the obdurate heart indefinitely (Gen. 6:3). If truth is persistently resisted and refused, the Spirit's promptings cease to be heard, and the soul is left in terrible darkness.

The unpardonable sin, or the sin against the Holy Spirit, is persistent rejection of light, the persistent rejection of what Christ has done for us. This rejection inevitably blinds the spiritual eyes and hardens the rejecter's heart to the wooings of the Spirit, as the example of those leaders in Israel. Finally, there is utter darkness in the soul, and the person is eternally lost because he or she has ruined his or her soul's perceptivity to the promptings of the Spirit.

It is the refusal to accept Jesus as the Son of God and Profess him as your Lord and Savoir.
