Why is blaspheming the holy spirit an eternal sin while doing so against Jesus is forgiveable (Read details)?

Question

In the trinity doctrine, all are 3 co-eternal, co-equal, and of the same substance of the triune godhead right?

So why is it forgivable against Jesus?

Hint: I'm not a trinitarian...

Answer 1

Possibly Jesus was referring to Prophet Mohammed PBUH, later christians might have changed that word.

Answer 2

I don't know for sure, but here's one view: In this passage, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that He was possessed by the demon Beelzebub (Matthew 12:24). In Mark 3:30, Jesus is very specific about what exactly they did to commit “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.” This blasphemy then has to do with accusing Jesus Christ (in person, on earth) of being demon-possessed. There are other ways to blaspheme the Holy Spirit (such as lying to Him, as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-10), but the accusation against Jesus was the blasphemy that was unpardonable. This specific unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today.

Answer 3

Blasphemy

In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in Ps. 74:18; Isa. 52:5; Rom. 2:24; Rev. 13:1, 6; 16:9, 11, 21. It denotes also any kind of calumny, or evil-speaking, or abuse (1 Kings 21:10; Acts 13:45; 18:6, etc.). Our Lord was accused of blasphemy when he claimed to be the Son of God (Matt. 26:65; comp. Matt. 9:3; Mark 2:7). They who deny his Messiahship blaspheme Jesus (Luke 22:65; John 10:36). Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Matt. 12:31, 32; Mark 3:28, 29; Luke 12:10) is regarded by some as a continued and obstinate rejection of the gospel, and hence is an unpardonable sin, simply because as long as a sinner remains in unbelief he voluntarily excludes himself from pardon. Others regard the expression as designating the sin of attributing to the power of Satan those miracles which Christ performed, or generally those works which are the result of the Spirit's agency.

Answer 4

There are over 500 places in the New Testament that state that God is God, and Jesus is Jesus. They are not the same. It states that they have different soles, different wills. That Jesus got to be the Messiah because he was the only angel that had not sinned.
Look at John 1:2, 1:18, 5:22, for just a few.
There is a commandment that requires us not to make an image of God. But a lot of people today assume that if they call Jesus "God" they can make an image without sinning; but they are disobeying it and a lot of the Bible over and over.

Answer 5

Wrong, they are not equal, Jesus is the Son of God the Father. The Holy Spirit is the messenger of God the Father.
God the Father created all things, the Son made from that which His Father ceated. The Son will inherit from the Father.

The Holy Spirit is God the Father messenger, He take messages from God the Father to the Son, and from the Son to God the Father. The Holy Spirit hears our prayers, and takes them to the Son, and the Son send our prayers through the Holy Spirit to the Father.

The Holy Spirit is our telephone line to the kingdom of heaven. The Holy Spirit has the power to bring light to darkness and darkness to light without offending God the Father. If we offend the Holy Spirit we have cut off our phone service, and the Holy Spirit is the only telephone there is.

Answer 6

there is some ambiguity in the bible as to whether jesus was in himself divine, or only a container for the divine nature. (see for example john 1: 5:7 - where the second person of the trinity is called not jesus but 'the word').

it seems at least possible that the bible is acknowledging that in theory one could blaspheme christ the man without blaspheming christ the god.

i would have expected more of our so-called christians to have been aware of this common interpretation of this passage.

perhaps they are all really atheists in wolves' clothing (the way most of the am seem to be closet christians).

Answer 7

I agree with Hogie.

Once you have the Holy Spirit with you, you have accepted his witness of God and Jesus Christ in your life.

What it means to deny the Holy Ghost, is that you turn your life away from God and Jesus Christ, you deny that you ever knew the truth.

Answer 8

What you are not taking into consideration is that in order to sin against the Holy Spirit, you have to have the Holy Spirit.

It is therefore a rejection of God residing in a person.

Someone who does not have the Holy Spirit can sin against Christ unwittingly, seeing as they do not have the Holy Spirit.

But by rejecting the trinity, one rejects the "personhood" of the Holy Spirit, denying the witness of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 9

Yeah, why is blaspheming the holy spirit an eternal sin while starting a war with Iraq is just a slap on the wrist?

Answer 10

Jesus is pretty much the spoiled brat in he Trinity team...!!!

Hebrews 5:7-8 (NIV) During the days of Jesus' life on earth* (*all along) , he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered

So you see Jesus was really scared to die. Good thing that Saint Paul came along later on and finished whatever pain Jesus still had to suffer in his flesh...

Colossians 1:24 (NIV) Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.

And that is why God rewarded Saint Paul with the "STIGMATTA". He was the first Christian to get it.

Galatians 6:17 (NIV) Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

God the Father loves to pick on God the Son Jesus Christ!

Answer 11

Because Jesus, God Incarnate, the Second Person of the Most Holy and Blessed Trinity SAID SO.
