Matthew 12:31-32

King James Version

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.

I think you will find the scripture is very precise about this as I have posted. it is calling the work of the Holy Spirit the work of Satan.

That's is correct as the scripture directly says it's because they said he had a unclean spirit. So calling the work of God unclean is blasphemy. Its basically calling God unclean and of the devil. Not wise.

Even as Jesus gave warning about people calling there brother a fool, judge wisely, they could be doing works through the spirit and you don't want to say they have a unclean spirit and crooked If they doing God's work, and Paul said test the Spirits. Its not hard to tell who is a fraud anyhow. False prophets are easy to spot. Anyone who knows scripture knows a false prophet when they see one.

If i went to a church and someone tells me if I give them cash God will bless me, the bigger and more amounts I give the more blessings I will revieve, I will call them out. I know God doesn't sell his blessings for cash so I'm not afraid to judge . Just a basic example.

This is a very good question and an answer I don't have. But I do have more questions.

1.) Is there any such statement in the Epistles that deals with the New Covenant
2.) Can I loose the spirit of God once I have it in this grace administration
3.) Could this be something that only applied to Israel to whom Jesus was talking to

Speaking in a derogatory way against the Holy Spirit.

In the example in the text you quoted, it was calling the Holy Spirit the Devil.

Yes.... your pretty much correct... except for the unpardonable sin part!

Mat 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

We are not talking Eternity here... It's a sin of the ages...
Paul

Isn't blasphemy to intentionally attempt to spoil the reputation/ name of one in such a way as to make them appear repulsive / offensive to others? I'm sure we've all experienced/encountered someone who has blasphemed God in this manner (even within this forum) ... Richard Dawkins comes to mind also.

This is how I understand the warning concerning blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It is my understanding that the Holy Spirit is what draws people to the Truth and enables them to understand it. It is similar, maybe, to a person's conscience (which can be seared if sufficiently led astray). Will the Holy Spirit inhabit (or be drawn to inhabit) someone who has been poisoned against it? If you poison that well, are you not responsible for those who are harmed by it's waters?

If scripture were absolutely clear on this matter, I don't think that so many people would have this question.

How "all others," as you put it, see the passages is thru the filter of modern American evangelical biases. That has no room for this exceptional case; which our Lord went out of His way in Matt 12.31 to explain was an exception to everything else.
