I noticed something in scripture this morning that I have read many, many times and never noticed. Please explain Matt 12:32 if you can.
"And 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, neihther in this world, neither in the world to come."
I thought the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one. That being true how can you blaspheme the Son and be forgiven but not the Holy Ghost?
This seems confusing???

I am not a theologian, but I always thought in this case the Son of Man was speaking of the Man - Jesus - and the Holy Ghost was speaking of the Spirit of God. Therefore, those who brought charges against Jesus while He was on earth- forgiveness was available to them. But, blasphemy against the Holy Ghost - there is no forgiveness. Just my take on this scripture.
Thanks Timmy I had not seen that thread, but it did NOT answer my question. In fact, it seems YOU brought up the same question.

Maybe it's talking about the man verses the spirit of the man?????
But are they not one?

So now we can separate them from being one?

Maybe someone that has access to JP can ask them over there the question and report an answer.

Basic oneness 101. Different offices. It's the same point made when Jesus is both God and man. God is not a man.
