In an attempt to answer the question in my previous post, Sunday's study properly looks at why Christ came to this earth, which is to save sinners, which all of us are, therefore, Christ came to this earth to save all of us from the penalty of sin, which is the second death, the eternal death, from which there is no resurrection.

In light of this, what then would blasphemy against the Holy Ghost be?

Perhaps, another good question would also be, what is the purpose or function of the Holy Spirit in connection with Christ's purpose?

The following is the memory text for this week's study:

"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" (Mark 3: 28, 29).

What is this blasphemy against the Holy Ghost in which there isn't any forgiveness? I read two lines of thought here. Which one is it, or is it both?

Dr Glenn, maybe it would be easier if you did your homework on the position your not agreeing with and stoped making strawmen to burn..

Darius,

I am getting tired of these type of posts, and I don't think I am alone. I think others are also getting tired of these type of posts you are posting.

If you continue to show that you can't contribute better than this, we may need to remove your ability to post.

This isn't the first time I have sounded out a warning note, therefore, I hope you will take heed of yet another warning.

I think some here have placed you on their ingore posts list, which is the only reason why I haven't acted yet.

If I receive enough personal complaints about your posts, I will regretfully act.

However, by refusing to admit Christ's divinity, and by actively opposing Him, these men had placed themselves in such a position that they were forced to explain His works on some other grounds than divine and, hence, assigned to Satan the work of God. They thereby closed their minds to the evidence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit impresses truth upon the mind and heart (John 14:17, 16:13) and convicts of sin (John 16:8). But although God is long-suffering and merciful and not willing that any should perish (2 Pet. 3:9), His Spirit will not labor with the obdurate heart indefinitely (Gen. 6:3). If truth is persistently resisted and refused, the Spirit's promptings cease to be heard, and the soul is left in terrible darkness.

Phi 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Phi 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Phi 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Phi 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phi 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Phi 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
