Matthew 12:30
30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31Wherefore 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. 32And 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. 33Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

As my brother had mentioned in his last blog post, Blasphemychallenge.com is here. The scripture from the Book of Matthew is where they are quoting scripture and then apparently attempting to prove that they can do this and not be forgiven.

We are seeing people who think that they can blasphemy the Holy Spirit. There are those that think by refusing, denying, speaking against, etc., the Holy Spirit, you can blasphemy the Holy Spirit.

If you read the context of the scriptures surrounding this passage, it becomes clear to me that there is an apparent understanding that needs to exist prior to the act of blasphemy that needs to occur. As we should be aware, to blasphemy something takes the knowledge and understanding of the thing that is being considered to blasphemy. Therefore, since it seems the majority of these people have not read the Bible, and have not had any apparent understanding or relationship with the Holy Spirit, then how can there be a true understanding of how to then blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Would you speak about your opinion of a movie before you watched it?
Would you give alot of credence to a person's opinion of a movie if they didn't watch it?

Can you blaspheme something without even knowing if it is real?

I believe the understanding of it is a prerequisite for being able to blasphemy it! I also believe that there is ample other scripture surrounding this text of scripture that clearly should reveal to anyone sincerely looking that the "fruits of your tree", the way you act, clearly showns whether you are pro-Christ or anti-Christ, there is no middle ground. So, whether these people are trying to go against God, but it does not need a verbal blasphemy in order to accomplish this, but rather just a close look of your character and actions as to whether you are on the right path or not.
