Luke.12:10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Christ words spoken here has without doubt troubled peoples conscience for thousand's of years, many word games are used to avoid blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. Yet, Christ makes a clear demarcation between himself, and the Holy Spirit a profound point each Christian should consider when preaching to others about blaspheme of Holy Spirit?

John 3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

Christ made clear in his ministry these point 1.) that he was not God, and 2.) that the works he did was from his Father. This is why he stated only one was good, and that one was his Father when called good teacher.

John 7:7 The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

John 10:32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"

Matthew 19:16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

Matthew 19:17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

The works Jesus did on earth was by his Father will, a perfect work without any mistakes that man make every day in fighting over the scriptures. The fruit, that is, God's works were performed through Christ Jesus were undeniably from God. Those doubting, were doubting because of false teachings. However, many not only doubted, which we all do, but fought against the power of God working through the Son of God.

Acts 5:39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!"

Christ separated himself from those works, as not coming from his goodness, but from the Fathers, stating only one is good, God! He understood as a man upon earth he could fail, but more than that he was the last Adam, not a god, like Eve was deceived into believing. Christ was fully human anointed, that is, indwelt with the Holy Spirit as a servant of God, not yet proven faithful unto death.

Heb.5:5 So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."{Psalm 2:7} 5:6 As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."{Psalm 110:4} 5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. 5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

He did not like some call down evil on his enemies in his flesh because he was chosen of God. He instead did God's works by Holy Spirit allowing God to make the judgment of whom sinned against the power of the Holy Spirit. Few people today has actually seen Holy Spirit working, many have seen false prophets using the power of Devil to perform mighty works, however, Christ stated by the fruit you will know whom is of God and not. Yet, once more, thousand's of year removed from Christ words most have no idea how to test the spirits to see if they are from God or not?

1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you{TR reads "us" instead of "you"} an example, that you should follow his steps, 2:22 who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."{Isaiah 53:9} 2:23 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. 2:25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer{"Overseer" is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent.} of your souls.

The key Christ left us was that God's works are perfect without sin, they do not have both good and bad fruit at the same time upon the branches. In other word, like Christ a servant of God the works he did was not his, nor did he boast in himself as good. He rather humbled himself and did God's works giving all glory to God, and not himself.

John 8:50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

John 8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Playing word games with the scriptures quoting a verse behind a works we do as coming from Holy Spirit might just be blaspheming the working of Holy Spirit. Many are quick to justify evil, that is, sin by using the bible written by Holy Spirit. Man is not justified by verses of the bible, its not a tool to defeat others by self-righteousness, works of law, and/or religious righteousness. The bible justifies no sinner it rather condemn them as needing justification by the power of God Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Not one is righteous, no not one! That is the first step, to not blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not glorify our fallen flesh or flatter it, it glorifies God, which takes away the power of our flesh and its lust. In other words, it takes the fun out of the flesh and sober it up, to truth and righteousness of God.

1Cor. 4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries. 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self. 4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
