Matthew 12:32

[scotsguy1980]

From Matthew 12:32:-

"Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

I was trying to think of an example where someone would sin by speaking against the Holy Spirit, can anyone think of an example?

it has to do with someone who has acknowledged Jesus as the Redeemer of the world, has had the conviction of faith, and was unable to deny the evidence. But in the face of evidence and conviction he deliberately, blasphemously rejects the work of the Holy Ghost for his salvation.

An example could simply be the denial of the existence of God.

The above passage primarily means though they were ignorant of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and might take him to be merely a man, they could not be ignorant that the expelling of demons, and miraculous healing of all diseases, which were the works of the Holy Ghost. If, therefore, they refused to do penance for the insult offered to the Spirit of God, in the person of Christ, they could not hope to escape condign punishment.

God bless,
