Unknown:Even the Watchtower’s argument that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is comparable to blasphemy against impersonal things (e.g., “the word of God” or “the tabernacle”) fails upon examination. No impersonal object is ever made the criterion for eternal salvation or damnation as in Matthew 12:32. Only a divine Person, equal in glory and majesty with the Father and the Son, can occupy such a position.
Me:No, you can't blaspheme the word of God and be saved. You must believe JEHOVAH'S Word to be saved.
Mark.16:15,16NIV"He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. "
Matthew.12:32NIVAnyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
Does the fact that one can blaspeme the Son and be forgiven mean that Son is not a person? So whether or not the blasphemy in question is unforgivable or not is irrelevant to determining personhood. The spirit is directly and immediately from God it has no will of its own. So it's testimony is undeniable to any sincere heart every other testimony is filtered including the heartfelt testimony of the Son.
