HOW PEOPLE BLASPHEMY THE HOLY GHOST (THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN): SPEAKING AGAINST THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT Mark 16:17-18And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. WHERE DOES THIS SAY THIS IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST CHURCH? IT SAYS TJESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE..THAT MEANS ALL TRUE BELIEVERS..If someone says the gifts were only for the first church and anyone who speaks in tongues today is of the devil..BLASPHEMY!!!!! ONLY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY GHOST BABTISM SAY THAT...THE PHARISEES ACCUSED JESUS OF THE SAME THING...HERE IS THAT WARNING TO THEM AND ANYONE ELSE WHO COMMITS THIS ABOMINATION...CAUSE REMEMBER THIS SCRIPTURE .. 1corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.Matthew 16:17 Jesus replied, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. if we go by what man does instead of what God reveals we will end up in hell.. have you not heard the saying if everyone else jumped off a cliff would you do it? remember what Jesus said in matthew 7:14..narrow is the gate and FEW FIND IT..MOST PEOPLE FOLLOW THE BROAD PATH TO DESTRUCTION LETS READ WHAT Jesus said about Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out a devil by using the power of Satan . Jesus explained to them the error and folly of their logic . After having explained that He was casting out demons by the Spirit of God, Jesus warned them that blaspheming the Spirit of God by calling him the devil would not be forgiven . Matthew 12:22-32 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil , blind , and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils , by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges .28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God , then the kingdom of God is come unto you.29 Or else how can one enter into a strong mans house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost , it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Here are the important elements of this account: 1. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is clearly defined as the act of saying that the Spirit of God is the devil.2. Saying that the Spirit of God is the devil will not be forgiven. God is righteous. The devil is evil. God will not forgive those who identify Him as being evil......calling Him the devil. 3. Sound logic clearly shows that the good works of freeing people from the bondage of the devil would not be done by the devil himself.4. Jesus gave the Pharisees a chance by explaining the situation to them.5. After giving the explanation of the truth, Jesus gave them a warning to accept the truth or continue in the lie about the Holy Spirit and be cut off from God by never being forgiven .With your minds eye, picture the situation.....Jesus is traveling around doing the good works of God.....He is here on earth to declare the kingdom of God and represent the righteousness of God. But as He travels , doing the works of God, here are the Pharisees following Him around saying He is doing the works of Satan. Jesus was reaching out to the multitudes of people through His sermons and works. It is important to see that He wanted to reach the multitudes.Notice the chronology of some events: The multitudes glorified God after seeing Jesus do a miracle : Matthew 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. The multitudes marvelled Matthew 9:33-34 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel . The multitudes again marvelled at the works of Jesus: 34But the Pharisees were saying, He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons. The Pharisees made their false accusation about Jesus: Notice in Matthew 9:36 the change in the multitudes because of the Pharisees. When the multitudes first saw the miracles of Jesus, they glorified God, but the influence of the Pharisees was having an impact on them. They were now bewildered, harassed, distressed, dejected and helpless. They were like sheep without a shepherd....confused....who should they believe?....the Pharisees or Jesus? Matthew 9:36 And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast like sheep without a shepherd.These men caused these followers to doubt the Holy Spirit, by which Jesus spoke, by saying Jesus words were evil. By doing this they were causing men to fall away from the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. This brings us to the first passage that we considered... Matthew 12:22-32. Jesus did the miracle, but the multitudes were confused about it...verse 23. Then we see the Pharisees again making their false accusation trying to confuse the multitudes and turn them against Jesus. Jesus wanted to make it clear that He was doing the work of God through the Spirit of God and He was NOT IN ALLEGIANCE WITH THE DEVIL IN ANY WAY! After being continuously harassed by the Pharisees over a period of time in which they were hindering His ministry of reaching the multitudes, Jesus finally gave them a strong rebuke and warning. If they continued with their false accusation about the Spirit of God, they would never be forgiven. Their actions would no longer be tolerated without consequence. Jesus gave them a strong deterrent encouraging them to stop their blasphemy. He wanted them to stop their Lies and confusions. We see that God will not tolerate being identified as the ultimate evil....Satan. (I believe that it must also be grievous to God when He and His righteous works are identified as Satan). Summary: Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the act of directly saying that the Word and Gifts of God is an evil doctrine . BE CAREFUL THIS MIGHT BE YOUR ONLY WARNING... This happens when people say that the King James Bible isnt the word of God and when they teach people this they are Blaspheming the Holy Spirit. 1 TIMOTHY 1:6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour , that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
