Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

The Gospel for Life

Geoff Thomas: The Holy Spirit – Chapter 5: “Blaspheming the Holy Spirit”
Opening verses – Matthew 12:22-32 (parallel passages: Mark 3:28-30 & Luke 12:10) & Hebrews 6:4-6
Sometimes this topic is hard to understand and to reconcile with our understanding of who God is (a God of mercy, grace, love, forgiveness)
▪ Exodus 34:6-7
▪ Psalm 130
What the Unforgivable Sin is Not (pages 50-52)
1. The unpardonable sin is not blasphemy
2. It is not a sexual sin
3. It is not suicide
What the Unforgivable Sin Is
▪ For this, I do not find his two categories (subheadings) on pages 53-56 helpful
▪ I think the full paragraph on page 58 is much better and more helpful
End with this quote from page 57:
▪ “If you are anxious that you have committed blasphemy against the Spirit, you needn’t fear that you have done
so, for such blasphemy is always accompanied by complete indifference to losing your soul. In other words, if
you are afraid you have committed this sin, we can say with great confidence that you haven’t, because your
troubled conscience is a sure testimony that you haven’t committed it.”
