Question:
Dr. Lindstrom, I was under the impression that the unpardonable sin was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is this true?
Answer:
You are correct! This sin is the equivalent of rejecting Jesus Christ as Savior which is unpardonable. This sin is the sin attributing the works Jesus Christ thru the power of the Holy Spirit to Satan and his demons. Mark 3:30, says that they were in danger of eternal damnation, “Because they said, He (Jesus Christ) had an unclean spirit.” They were saying Jesus Christ was an impostor, a fraud, a fake, not the Messiah, not the Savior, not the Son of God. Jesus could heal but he did it through the power of Satan.
