Ok, I have to admit that juggling and preparing for 3 Bible Studies is a bit of a challenge. I am having extreme episodes of Déjà vu, and wondering if I have already told this story or explained about one word or another to this group. But for the most part I have decided that it is ok to retell a few stories:) Besides, I often tell them more for my own benefit than I do theirs anyway:)
Tonight we had an awesome discussion about the “unforgivable sin” of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
“I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." (Mark 3:28-29)
So, my blogging family and friends, tell me, what does it mean to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Once it has been done, is it not possible to be redeemed? Is it something much deeper than what we would think of as blasphemy?
As I said, we had some interesting discussion tonight and I would love to hear what you have to say on the subject:)
Perhaps I can complicate things even more by mentioning another passage:
"And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. (Luke 12:10)
Blessings

Hmm, I don't know what the gospel writer was thinking. I guess Luke hadn't had Intro to Theology or Doctrine of the Trinity. Blaspheming one any member of the Trinity is a blaspheme against all and I believe that God will forgive all believers who confess and repent.
That Bible is so confusing sometimes!
