Verses 24 25
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said,
This fellow does not cast out demons except by
Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. 25 But Jesus
knew their thoughts, and said to them Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation, and every city or house divided
against itself will not stand.
5
Verses 26 28
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided
against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom
do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall
be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by
the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has
come upon you.

Verses 29 30
29 Or how can one enter a strong mans house and
plunder his goods, unless he first binds the
strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he
who does not gather with Me scatters abroad

Verses 31 32
31 Therefore I say to you, every sin and
blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy
against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man,
it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit, it will not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to
come.

plunder his house.

III. The Unpardonable Sin
21
A. THE CONTEXT

• Christs miracles of healing
• The Pharisees Charge
• Christs Answer

22
Tree known by its fruits
23
Sins we know are not the sins that cannot be
pardoned.

• It is not the unforgiven sin one may have at
  death (will not be forgiven - but not
  unpardonable)
• Not the sins of the flesh (Galatians 519-
  21)
• Not the rejection of Jesus

24
What is the Unpardonable Sin?
25
Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit
26
Matthew 2 31-32

blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy
against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man,
it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven
him, either in this age or in the age to come.
27
Mark 328-29
28 Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be
forgiven the sons of men, and whatever
blasphemies they may utter 29 but he who
blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has
forgiveness, but is subject to eternal
condemnation
28
Luke 1210
And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of
Man, it will be forgiven him but to him who
blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not
be forgiven.

What Blasphemyof theHoly Spirit?
30
Mark 322-26
31
Verses 22-23
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem
said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of
the demons He casts out demons. 23 So He called
them to Himself and said to them in parables
How can Satan cast out Satan?
32
Verses 24-26
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that
kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is
divided against itself, that house cannot stand
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself,
and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
33
Matt. 12 22-27
34
Verses 22-23
22 Then one was brought to Him who was
demon-possessed, blind and mute and He healed
him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke
and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed
and said, Could this be the Son of David?
35
Verses 24-25
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said,
This fellow does not cast out demons except by
Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. 25 But Jesus
knew their thoughts, and said to them Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation, and every city or house divided
against itself will not stand.
36
Verses 26-27
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided
against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom
do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall
be your judges.
37
Ascribing the power of the Holy Spirit to the
false god, Beelzebub.
Attributing good to Satanto give him an equal
claim to Christ.
38
Matthew 1232-35
32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of
Man, it will be forgiven him but whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven
him, either in this age or in the age to come. 33
Either make the tree good and its fruit good,
or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad for
a tree is known by its fruit.
39
Verses 34-35
34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil,
speak good things? For out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of
the good treasure of his heart brings forth good
things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure
brings forth evil things.
40
Mark 329-30
29 But he who blasphemes against the Holy
Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to
eternal condemnation30 because they said, He
has an unclean spirit.
41
If possible at all for one today to commit the
unpardonable sin it would have to be crediting
the power of the Holy Spirit in giving the word
by inspiration to Satan.
42
One today can rest verycertain that he or she
hasnot committed the blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit!.
