if blasphemy is the unforgiveable sin then why did Jesus commit it?

Question

Psalm 82:6 (Jesus speaking) "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods?

Answer 1

Jesus quotes this verse in John 10:34 to get out of a tough spot. (He was claiming to be God for which the Jews accused him of blasphemy.) I would not expect Christians to know what was in the bible though.

Blasphemy is a crime created by the clergy to defend documents that are unable to defend themselves.

Answer 2

Psalms was written by David. The actually hebrew word used was elohim, which means mighty ones, or judges. Gods meant the same thing at the time of the bibles translation.

Answer 3

Blasphemy itself is not an unforgivable sin. Only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Jesus did not speak in Psalms (however He did quote it) - that book was written WAY before his time. Psalms 82 was quoting some guy named Asaph, where he is pleading to God for justice.

Jesus answered a group of Jews and said, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?" (John 10:34). Does this mean that humans can become God? New Agers cite this verse to support their doctrine of the deity of man. Mormons also cite it to support their view that humans can become gods.

There are many reasons this text should not be used to support such an idea.

First, such an interpretation is contrary to the overall context. Jesus in this passage is not speaking to pantheists (who believe that God is everything and everything is God) or polytheists (who believe in many gods). Rather, He is addressing strict Jewish monotheists who believe that only the Creator of the universe is God. So, His statement should not be wrenched out of this monotheistic context and given a pantheistic or polytheistic twist.

Second, in context Jesus is alluding to Psalm 82 where human judges are called "gods," and His reasoning communicates the following idea: "If God even called human judges 'gods' (with a small 'g'), then how much more is it appropriate that I call myself the Son of God." Keep in mind that Christ had just pronounced Himself one with the Father saying, "I and My Father are one" (10:30). The Jews wanted to stone Him because they thought Christ was blaspheming, making Himself out to be equal with God (vv. 3133). Jesus responded by quoting Psalm 82:6 (a verse dealing with human judges) which says, "I said, you are gods." So, Jesus reasoned, if human judges could be called "gods" (with a small 'g'), then why can't the Son of God be called "God."

Third, these judges were "gods" in the sense that they stood in God place, judging over life and death matters. They were not called "gods" because they were actually divine beings. Indeed, the text Jesus cites (Ps. 82) also goes on to say that these judges were "mere men" and would "die" (v. 7).

Fourth, it is possible, as many scholars believe, that when the psalmist Asaph said "You are gods" of the unjust judges in Psalm 82, he was speaking in irony. He indicated to these judges (who had apparently become unjust in their dealings with men), "I have called you 'gods,' but in fact you will die like the men that you really are." If this is so, then when Jesus alluded to this psalm in John 10, He was saying that what the Israelite judges were called in irony and in judgment, He is in reality.

In any event, it is clear that Jesus in this passage was giving a defense for His own deity, not for the deification of man.

Proverbs 3:7 - "Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil"

Answer 4

Jesus did not commit any sin and did not write the psalm it is not mean the way you are taking it

Answer 5

Psalms?? Jesus wasn't around when the psalms were written, that was David.

Answer 6

I see no blasphemy in this quote. And, if you check your bible really carefully, you will find the Psalms in the Old Testament, before Jesus' time.

Answer 7

Jesus was not on earth at the time Psalms was written. May God bless and keep you.

Answer 8

Nope, suicide isn't an unforgivable sin cuz people who dedicate the undesirable form of suicide are frequently too emotional and would desire to have long surpassed via utilising some somewhat unfavorable matters in existence. tension additionally performs a substantial section in those matters (beneficial, even helping others each and all of the time would desire to reason this) additionally, the matters you pronounced like getting indoors the way of a bullet to maintain human beings is possibly no longer suicide anymore... yet self-sacrifice

Answer 9

Denouncing the Holy Spirit is the unforgiveable sin. Blasphemy comes in many forms. You have not read that section of the scriptures in depth. You also have not taken into account the period, crowd, people involved. Dive deeper.

Answer 10

Good call, judith r. Jesus was New Testament, Psalms is Old Testament.
