The Unforgivable Sin

The Unforgivable Sin Regarding the subject of the unforgivable sin, also called the sin against the Holy Ghost or blasphemy against the Holy Ghost,* we must begin by understanding that there are two spiritual seeds. Genesis has the foundational Scripture. Genesis 3:15: And I [God] will put enmity between thee [serpent, devil] and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it [the woman’s seed] shall bruise thy head, and thou [devil’s seed] shalt bruise his heel. The victor in this confrontation will obviously be the seed of the woman. What is the significance of seed? Seed is necessary in order to beget children, in order to bear fruit. A child cannot be born physically without seed first being planted in the mother’s womb. Once this seed is planted, the resulting fruit cannot be altered. You are the result of the seed of your earthly father as long as you live. But Genesis 3:15 speaks of a woman having seed. What is “her seed”? Galatians 3:16 clarifies “her seed” in saying, “. . .And to thy seed, which is Christ.” So it is spiritually. In order to be born spiritually (called “being born again”), seed must be planted. A spiritual seed cannot be changed any more than a physical seed can be changed. The Word of God tells us that there are two spiritual fathers and, therefore, two possible sources for seed: God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the devil, the god of this world. Thus a person can spiritually be born of either one of these two fathers. To observe the result of either of these two spiritual seeds being planted in man, let us take a hypothetical case— John Doe. John Doe is born a man of body and soul—a natural man who has physical seed. However, he has no spiritual seed in him. When John Doe, a man of body and soul, confesses with his mouth Jesus as Lord and believes that God raised Him from the dead (according to the command of Romans 10:9 and 10), he is born again with God’s seed (Christ)** in him. God’s seed (Christ) is spirit, thu
