Question
Mark 3: 29
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Can you please explain this to me ?  

Answer

Mar 3:29-30  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:  (30)  BECAUSE THEY SAID, HE HATH AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT.

Joh 15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, which proceedeth from the Father, HE SHALL TESTIFY OF ME:

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. NOTHING LESS THAN A WHOLE BIBLE CAN MAKE A WHOLE CHRISTIAN.

Sydney,

This passage is one that must be understood in light of what the Bible teaches as a whole. That is that salvation is obtained at the dealing of the Spirit of God with a man concerning the truth of God's word and his Son Christ Jesus as saviour. To reject this is to call the Spirit of truth a liar. How can God forgive this sin? The miracles being performed in the passage were done so as a prove of the truth that Christ was preaching. They rejected the truth and excused it by saying Christ had an evil spirit.

I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,
