LUKE 12:10, "And everyone that says a word against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven; But he that blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
MARK 3:29, "Whoever blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of everlasting sin."
MATTHEW 12: 31-32 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come".

Nice research. Follow that logic, we're all screwed.
How ever, the statement was in reference to the " spirit " not God or Man. A blaspheme spirit is one who tries to use the path of salvation to do as they will, but not really mean it.
I'm sure you've heard of the idea that you can do all the evil you want as long as you pray for forgiveness right before you die? So you go about this plan, doing all sorts of bad things. and when it come times to die, you say a prayer of forgiveness certain that you'll get into heaven.
Guess what..you don't. You have blasphemed the spirit of the path of Salvation. you didn't mean to be a Christian, you were just trying to use the system to get into heaven. You were trying to manipulate a spiritual loop hole.
That's what Blasphemy against the spirit means. I hope it helps.
PS I did enjoy reading your question. it was very thought out. I'm looking forward toward future questions :)

Nice passages, plenty to learn from these if you understand what they are saying. The first says that the Son of Man is not equal to the Holy Spirit. I understand blasphemy as blaming or accrediting evil to the Holy Spirit, and I understand the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God which can reside in a human's spirit. In practical terms, this would mean that it is unforgivable to blame human evil on God. But that is just my own thought on the matter.

Blaspheme, to speak of God or other divine entity irreverently. Hmm, let's see:
1. There is no Holy Spirit. The whole notion is the delusion of nomadic goat-herders.
2. The Holy Spirit wears really gay underwear.
3. If the Holy Spirit indwells all these TV preachers he must like swimming in bull excrement.
4. I utterly, completely totally and irrevocably deny the Holy Spirit is other than a religious fantasy and a fraud.
That enough?

Perhaps to blaspheme the holy spirit is to reject the gift of grace from Christ? If that's the case then it would be the very definition of damnation. I'll have to look into it more. Good question.

The Bible is the inspired word of God, I guess some believe parts of it are untrue.How tragic for them!!
