Blasphemy against the Spirit, specifically, is seeing Jesus work miracles and saying it was Beelzebub. Inventing another definition is ill-advised.

Oh? So now denying that the Holy Spirit is perfect and therefore not part of the Trinity, meaning of course that there is no Trinity, is just a minor quirk, not blasphemy ?

Someone needs to look up the definition of terms as they've been used for several thousand years rather than what some self-appointed authority says or spinning their own definition based on their own personal interpretation of whatever portion of the Luther Subset of Scripture they like today and may well ignore tomorrow.

Alas, the Self and Self Alone lie euphemistically known as "Scripture Alone" rules the minds of those who buy into that diabolical deception so I seriously doubt what the true meaning of any particular word is important to such folks just like the portion of Scripture they threw into the garbage can isn't important to them.

have a nice day

Oh, and by the by, the little game of redefining what blasphemy means to narrow it down to some particular statement simply squeezes the air in the balloon to the other end meaning that denying that the Holy Spirit could not and did not protect Holy Scripture from the inclusion of error swells to blaspheming the entire Trinity by asserting either that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not one or that all three are imperfect.

So, another attempt to change the subject by changing definitions of words to suit whatever current Self and Self Alone interpretation some particular fallacy requires fails outright because throwing Scripture in the garbage can denies the deity of the Holy Spirit alone or the deity of the entire Trinity.

Have a lovely Self and Self Alone illusion sort of day.
