The Unpardonable Sin

[cgaviria]

I believe I understand why you've concluded what you have, but I suppose that would depend on one's interpretation. I believe the offense is in a direct relation to the Spirit of God Himself (Mat 3:29, 30). The Pharisees related God's Spirit to "Beelzebub the prince of the devils" (Mat 12:24), thus resulting in blasphemy in vs 31, 32.

What these men were saying was concerning Jesus Christ, not holy spirit. So therefore, this was considered a sin against the son of man, that was considered forgivable,

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. (Matthew 12:32 [NIV])

Yes, I agree that it was clearly also offense an against the Lord Jesus, but my conclusion is the result of what Jesus said about His Spirit, giving it more attention and attributing it mostly to the Spirit. To "speak against" Christ and to "speak against" the Spirit is blasphemy (Mat 12:21, 32). I also see no problem believing either way concerning this subject, it no longer being mentioned after the Pharisees error.
