Mark - Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit

Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit

Mark 3:23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

Jesus answers the Scribes who said that he casts out devils by the power of the devil. This is important. The spirit does not oppose itself, the devil's people are in unity against Jesus Christ. We as his disciples are to be one, united by the Holy Spirit. When someone in the Internet chat room opposes the speaking of God's word we know they are not speaking from God's Spirit. God loves His Word.

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Mark 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

His words are spiritual and can also be applied to our nation and to our homes. Restoration and unity are through the Lord Jesus Christ. Division and bad things are from the devil. One nation under God is being attacked by those speaking diversity of cultures. Christianity, that has been the heart of our nation and the basis of our laws and unity is under attack; separation and division are the work of the devil, in the hearts of evil backslidden people.

Mark 3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

In unity there is strength, division destroys. For example: The United States of America, one naion, under God.

Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

In our nation it is called judicial activism, the judges overturning what was accepted before in the name of political correctness.

In a positive Biblical interpretation Jesus binds satan, the strong man and takes back what was created for God. We were created in the image of God to glorify Him and be one with Him. Jesus came to return us to the Father.

Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

Jesus, full of grace and forgiveness. No matter what we have done or said against his name, will be forgiven.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Jesus, through God's Holy Spirit makes us one in Him.

John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

The Holy Spirit must lead us to Jesus. If we deny the work of God's Spirit, we cannot receive Jesus and forgiveness. The Spirit is the power of God to become a child of God. The Scribes said that the work of Jesus was by the power of the devil, not acknowledging the power of God.

Mark 3:30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Here were the Scribes in their religious robes, looking important, demanding respect, as do our antichrist judges. They wish to remove Jesus and his power from this world. They cannot, but they are in danger of eternal damnation.
