“Ultimately then, the reason why the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable is because God chooses to allow the one who commits the sin to remain in his own depraved condition. God does not grant that person the grace necessary to repent.” (Volume 9, Pages 94–95)
“Possibly the most widely held theory as to the nature of the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit says that it is the deliberate labeling of good as evil.69 As Guthrie explains, ‘this sin against the Spirit is the deliberate and malicious attempt to deny all true values—to see wrong as right and evil as good.’” (Volume 9, Page 70)
“First, a fundamental distinction between this dispensation and previous dispensations is baptism by the Holy Spirit. There is no hint in Scripture that Spirit baptism was operative prior to Pentecost, but only after Pentecost. Spirit baptism has two aspects: judicial and experiential.” (Volume 9, Page 220)
“So blasphemy itself is not the characteristic feature of the unpardonable sin. Blasphemy certainly is involved, but it is the nature of that blasphemy that holds the key to understanding the sin.” (Volume 9, Page 77)
“The reference to Darius in verse 1 is the most detailed reference to any king in the book of Daniel. Four” (Volume 9, Page 267)
