Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is a serious sin in Christianity that involves rejecting the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. It is considered an unforgivable sin because it demonstrates a deliberate and persistent rejection of God's grace and forgiveness.

How can God be three persons in one in light of Matthew 12 32?

AnswerMatthew 12:32 says that someone can be forgiven for committing a against Jesus, but never forgiven for a blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. This does suggest that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are in some way unequal. However, Matthew's Gospel was written late in the first century, long before the concept of the Holy Trinity was adopted by the Church.


Can one reject or blasphemy against the Holy Ghost then ask for forgiveness and want it back into their lives and be forgiven?

This is what Jesus told us about the unpardonable sin in the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 12:31-32, " Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come". I would say this is fairly clear. Be careful.


Is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit when you dont know right from good or is it when you think that Jesus used his power from Satan?

The definitive quotation on blasphemy against the Holy ghost is Mark 3:28-29: "Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation". This passage was also incorporated later into the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.Looking at the above quotation, we can see that all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven, other than blasphemies against the Holy Ghost. Luke 12:10 clarifies this: "And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven." So Luke says that blasphemies against Jesus himself can be forgiven, but not blasphemies against the Holy Ghost.


Why can't blaspheme be forgiven and what is blaspheme?

Blasphemy is a contemptuous act of speaking ill about God. Anything offensive about God or sacred things is called blasphemy and for obvious reasons, it is unforgivable. Offending God is a sin. It can't be forgiven. Another perspective: Blasphemy is the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk. The New Testament makes specific comment on the seriousness of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost in Matthew 12:31-32. 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. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is in its own category because it entails rebellion against a sure knowledge of God and the truth. Satan falls into this category because he knows perfectly well who God is and what good and evil are and yet chooses to seek to fight against God. To commit this sin you have to be beyond just believing in the truth; you must know it for a fact after having had the truth of it manifest to you through a direct revelation from the Holy Ghost. One must reach the state of the Apostle Peter reflected in Matthew 16:15-17. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. At this point, if Peter had chosen to fight against the truth and wholly try to destroy it, he would have been unable to be forgiven - mainly because he would have reached a point where he would refuse to be forgiven and deny the need for forgiveness. You have to be at a point similar to looking at the Sun and denying that it is shining and convinced yourself that it is not and making every effort to convince others of that. Honestly nearly all of us are operating at a level of FAITH and are not capable of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. The more certain your knowledge however, the closer you are straying in the direction of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost when you rebel against what you know to be good. It is better to hunger and thirst after righteousness than to indulge the Carnal Man.
