The Holy Spirit gave me clarity on something I have always had trouble understanding - the unforgivable sin. Maybe it’s just me, because I sometimes have a hard head and fail to learn the simple things, but I’m sure I’m not the only one out there who didn’t get it. The Word of God is not complicated, we just make it that way by reading more into it than we should. Calling the Holy Spirit, by which Jesus was casting out demons, an unclean spirit is blasphemy! Jesus and the Holy Spirit are of the same house! Without the Holy Spirit, there is no forgiveness of sins, whereas calling Him unclean would mean you have no way to wash them away. It makes perfect sense in light of this section of scripture. You must believe in the works of the Holy Spirit or your sins cannot be forgiven. This is why Jesus says that a house divided cannot stand. I hope this sheds a little light on the unforgivable sin.
"Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"— for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit." Mark 3:28-30
