Context is your friend.

Then why didn't you POST it in context to begin with?

Mark 3:28-30

28 Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30 Jesus made this statement because they were claiming, “He has an unclean spirit.”…

I did, twice, but in different posts of an ongoing discussion.

According to Jesus, only one sin will not be forgiven.

Mark 3:28-30 (NASB)

“Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”

because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.

What IS blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

I know the answer I would give, but I’m curious how others would respond.

Looking at Mark 3:29, “... but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness ...”, “whoever” is clearly not a believer, for “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7, NASB)
