Blasphemy Of The Holy Spirit by Sonrise Church
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because the avenue to forgiveness is rejected ... slandered. In attributing the work of the Spirit of God to the person of Satan, the Pharisees are guilty of opposition to the Spirit of God ... the only Spirit that can change the will ... who can draw the unrepentant to repentance. These Pharisees rejected the very thought of repentance. Their willful unbelief was the final denial of the offer of grace. A recent survey by the American Worldview Inventory 2021 from Arizona Christian University reveals some troubling realities. Out of 176 million Americans who identify as Christians, just 6% hold a recognizably Christian worldview. The majority of those surveyed as self-identified born again Evangelical Christians do not believe in the Holy Spirit as a "real, living being." Instead they identify the Holy Spirit as a mere "symbol of God's Power or presence". Is this also blasphemy?

Almost EVERYONE...including the religiously pious and devout, the learned and powerful...misunderstands who Jesus is, because of our PRECONCEPTIONS of WHO he is...usually fashioned in OUR OWN IMAGE....leaving us WITHOUT EARS TO HEAR. The scientific term for this is the Dunning-Kruger Effect: A FEELING of CONVICTION (not necessarily based on all the facts) leads to a REJECTION of NEW information and ways of THINKING...Sadly, this process not only cuts off critical thinking but INNOCULATES the very people who NEED NEW IDEAS THE MOST! The theological term for this is BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! Assuming we KNOW GOD'S THOUGHTS...REFUSING to see the "SIN" in our OWN. Jesus NEVER meets our first expectations, but he ALWAYS surpasses what we can understand. We can get to KNOW HIM, or we can try to MASTER KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIM...One leads to a dynamic life of purpose and grace, freedom and growth...the other leads to an existence of rules, judgementalism, measuring ourselves against others, as well as by their opinions. The UNFORGIVEVABLE SIN is simply the inability to HEAR GOD SPEAKING TRUTH...and the truth can be painful if we are not used to hearing it...or telling it. LET US HAVE EARS TO HEAR! When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I KNOW HOW CONCEITED YOU AND HOW WICKED YOUR HEART IS; you came down only to watch the battle." - 1 Samuel 17:28 The prophets PROPHESY LIES, the priests rule by their OWN AUTHORITY, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end? - Jeremiah 5:31 To whom shall I speak and give warning That they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed And they cannot listen Behold, the word of the LORD HAS BECOME A REPROACH TO THEM; They have no delight in it. - Jeremiah 6:10 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are PROPHESYING LIES IN MY NAME. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you FALSE VISIONS, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. - Jeremiah 14:14 16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; THEY FILL YOU WITH FALSE HOPE. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. - Jeremiah 23:16 They see FALSE VISIONS and speak lying divinations. They claim, "Thus declares the LORD," when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message. - Ezekiel 13:6 They say to the seers, "See no more visions!" and to the prophets, "Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, PROPHESY ILLUSIONS." - Isaiah 30:10 51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied. 52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law (SCRIBE) who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom NEW treasures as well as OLD.” 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, HE MOVED ON FROM THERE. 54 Coming to his HOMETOWN, he began teaching the people in their (HIS) synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 AND THEY TOOK OFFENSE AT HIM. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. - Matthew 13:53-58
