The Unpardonable Sin

Well, my next question actually was answered in my readings this past weekend!

"What is the unpardonable sin?", which equally was asked, "What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?"

Yummy!

Now understand that the answer comes in two parts:

Read Mark 3:22 - 30

The Scribes completely missed who Jesus is!
The Scribes could see what Jesus was doing,
The Scribes witnessed what Jesus did,
And the Scribes went on a smear campaign to discredit Jesus.

The Scribes Claimed Jesus Was Demon Possessed
John 7:20
John 8:48
John 10:20

The Scribes Argued Jesus Spent His Time With Sinners
Luke 7:34

The Scribes Claimed Jesus Was A Bastard
John 8:41

God Can Forgive ALL Sin Except One?
All transgressions against God or God's Law can be forgiven.
Whatever you can imagine is forgivable.

... But ...

The Unpardonable Sin / Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
To attribute Jesus and His ministry, by those whom were there, to demons or Satan ...

To reject the witness of the Holy Spirit in your life so that you can never understand whom Jesus is ...

*****

And it is hard to watch someone reject the Holy Spirit's witness.
I saw this in my father's life across 36 years of praying for him to come to Jesus.
To the end, he refused to listen and not curse Jesus and God for what happened to his beloved Germany.
I see this in my mining partner's life across 40 years of prayer for him.
I almost got him once to start asking questions but his son walked up and that was the end of that!

And I am still praying ...
