Explain please where Doug KC blasphemed against the Holy Spirit?
I didn't accuse him of that...only of treading upon sacred ground where he might be heading in that direction.
Why?
Thomas Nelson Bible Dictionary, entry for "Blasphemy" (1986/1995, p. 220):
Blasphemy defined as...
"the act of..." [either]
"cursing"
"slandering"
"reviling"
"or showing contempt"
"or lack of reverence for God"
So...parallels in this thread?
Douglas has indeed shown a lack of reverence for the divine Holy Spirit, depersonalizing Him, and reducing Him as less personal than even animals are, when the clear Scriptural evidence is the reverse.
Beyond that, God alone knows his heart; so I don't go there (1 Samuel 16:7).
And, btw, Restornu, blasphemy goes beyond blasphemy vs. the Holy Spirit:
For example...
your post #445:
"BTW the Bible was put together by MEN not the Holy Ghost...Now the content of the Books contain the word of God is only as accurate as the scribes translated them, Even Jesus has trouble in his conversations with the scribes and Pharisees and Sadducees."
Along with DouglasKC's post #424, where he cites a Peter reference to "untaught and unstable men" -- implying these men were behind "translating Scriptures":
"I believe there are errors and bias in the translation of scriptures. I believe that things were added to the original inspired scriptures. And I think it's been going on for a long time." (#424)
In Titus 2:5, the word used for maligning the Word of God is the Greek word blasphemeo.
The KJV, the NASB, and many other versions retain this Greek Word about the need to NOT blaspheme/malign God's Word!
MAny things have been 'explained' to you; but; apparently; you don't get it.
