When He said that every sin can be forgiven except the blasphemy of the spirit. I thought He shed His blood for all sins. Please don't answer if you don't care.

Matthew 12:32 "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."

That is to fall so completely that one cannot bring himself to repent is to blaspheme the Spirit. If you fall so low that you can not ask for forgiveness, or if you think it doesn't matter because after I'm dead I will be foor given forget about it
God will not forgive you. But if you ask it shall be given.

As far as I know, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit would be like someone claiming to be guided by the Holy Spirit and misrepresenting or deceiving people, then leading them away from God. Jesus was accused of Blasphemy because he claimed that God is his Father. That he used miracles or tricks to lead people away from the temple so he could get followers. Cursing God's Holy Spirit I think would be blasphemy. The Bible says that is the only unforgivable sin.
I would say the only unforgivable sin would be to turn your back on God because you made the choice and would not be able to forgive yourself when you were not included in Heaven because you chose not to believe. It seems that belief is required to get in Heaven. So that would be blasphemy when you deny God and tell lies about him existing and being the only God, while trying to lead others away. I don't have a better answer.

To blaspheme the Holy Spirit means to mock it, or declare that it is false. I think the reason Jesus said this was "unforgiveable" is not because He wouldn't WANT to forgive it, but because if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit, you are not open to God's power in the first place. If you cannot receive the Holy Spirit, you cannot receive God; if you cannot receive God, you cannot receive forgiveness. So it's almost like, you are blocking yourself from the things of God.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is not really just making fun of it, but the idea of blaspheming is more denying what it is -- denying its power -- shutting it out or declaring falsehoods about it. If you claim a falsehood about God's Spirit of Truth, how are you to ever receive that truth? So you are blocked from Jesus, blocked from forgiveness.

This could be wrong, but it's one interpretation, which I hope might help. God Bless!

I don't know if my interpretation is accurate or not, but here it is. I think that you can feel the spirit, as explained in scripture. I think that blasphemy of the spirit is when you feel the spirit then later deny it or its authenticity. For example, say you pray to see if the bible is true and the spirit reveals the truthfulness to you. If you were to deny the feeling of the spirit afterwards, it is blasphemous. Or at least, that's what I think. I hope that makes sense.

Persons who with full knowledge deliberately oppose God and Christ, hide the truth and propagate falsehoods make themselves guilty of sinning against God’s spirit—a sin that cannot be forgiven. This is what certain Pharisees did in the days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. They were eyewitnesses of the miracles and powerful works of God’s spirit operating through Jesus Christ. But they refused to glorify Jehovah God. For selfish reasons, they attributed to Satan the work of God through Christ. In this way they sinned against God’s spirit.—Matt. 12:24-32.

There is more than one way to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. The one He is talking about is when God's special people (his elect) are delivered up to satan to be converted into believing that satan is the real Christ. It is their duty given to them by God to repeat what the Holy Spirit has put into their minds to say in answer to satan or his minions. And it will be irrefutable. But if they refuse to say what the Holy Spirit has put in their minds to say and instead says something else , then that is the unpardonable sin and it will not be forgive in this world or the world to come. Please read Mark Chapter 13
starting with verse 11 it states that Gods elect shall not premeditate what to say because it will be given to them in that hour what to say by the Holy Spirit.

The holy spirit communicates truth directly to our spirit. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to hold the truth in unrighteousness.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
KJV

Not sure, but I tend to believe that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is an absolute refusal to receive Christ.
