Jesus Said!

 Matthew 12: 30, 31, & 32.

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.  And so, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy.  But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.  Anyone 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 the age to come.

Mark 3: 28 & 29.

Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven all their sins and all their blasphemies they utter.  But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin.

Luke 12: 8, 9, & 10.

I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever publicly disowns me will be disowned before the angels of God.  And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Jesus saw himself as the Holy Spirit appointed and anointed missionary Messiah to advertise the forgiveness of God to all men, thus his chosen moniker, Son of Man.  What this moniker doesn’t say is that Jesus understood himself to be part man and part God.  This Christ-Jesus fabrication became the official doctrine of the Christian Church of Rome without clear biblical support more than three centuries after Jesus rose from the dead. 

Jesus shared with the religiously unwashed that the God he knew is in the business of forgiveness. God the forgiver. God forgives in this world and in the next, eternity is the land of forgiveness with only one possible exception, the religious terrorists who routinely accosted him as all three writers of the synoptic gospels record.

Did Jesus just loose his cool with the religious terrorists or was he shaking the tree? You decide.
