    How do we apply "idle" to Matthew 12:36 as an example? The definitions are several, such as, useless, worthless, a waste of time etc. It seems quite important that we will be judged by what we say? Some will provide other promises that assure our salvation. We then have conflicts in our understanding. I think of the different computer sites that occupy our time with idle contributions.
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    BSP; Verse 38 (reply); This is an extremely important point! We see the world is bursting with wanna-be prophets, false teachers, and misguided UN-Spirit-filled expounders of the times; while the Lord said, that the only sign really given to them by God, is the one they all categorically despise and reject; which id the preaching of the cross of Christ. So for all those, all is done in parables.
  • BSP on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Verse 38~The Pharisees wanted to see a sign, but Jesus did not give them one. Jesus recognized that their motives and intentions were not pure so they did not receive a sign.
  • Nichelle Clark on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Either you are for Christ or against Christ, and those whom are against Him shall be scattered abroad. They say they believe in His word but, their hearts believed not in Him. All glory and honor much be given to God the Father, in Jesus name. Amen
  • Penni Carter on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    It is so easy to get comfortable in idle chatter, but how can we say that we are good and love the Lord? God sees and hears what comes out of our mouths, and out of the abundance of our heart our mouth speaks. We are nothing but filthy rags just idly saying nothing about nothing. Although we may speak quietly where we think no one else can hear, God does! I know our world must repent for idle talk
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Emanuel; I think it might be best to just let you be with your ideas for now; seeing you really don't seem to want anything else. The doctrine that proves sound is that which will support our overcoming this present evil world; both now, and in the Day of God. Let me leave you with this recommendation only; that you study carefully 2 Peter, especially the first chapter; as it is the foundation.
  • Emanuel Fernandes on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    why dont you pray to God for discernment I actually study and meditate on the bible by reading these comments I see most of you just read it .THIS IS NOT MANS WORDS THIS IS GODS WORD. Reading is not good enough I medtitate DAILY. Study to shew thyself approved which your not dont know if your saved or a babe in christ. NOT A NOVICE BEING LIFTED UP WITH PRIDE!
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Emanuel; I did read through carefully all that you wrote; and I'm saying that you are very mistaken! Jesus being here on earth or in heaven has nothing to do with whether men let Satan enter their hearts to blaspheme the Spirit. And the Lord said precisely without any room for confusion or misunderstanding: The Blasphemy of the Spirit HAS NO FORGIVENESS; not in this world, nor the next one coming!
  • Emanuel Fernandes on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    If you actually read not skim my comments you would get my point. I said there is no way to blasphem and not be forgiven. You can blaspheme the Holy Ghost and be forgiven. The Pharisee we're not to be forgiven because Jesus was physically here on earth. That's the difference! Charamastic believe YOU CANT BE FORGIVEN TODAY WHICH IS WRONG. Does anyone TRULY LABOR IN THE WORD ANYMORE?
  • Jen on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    2 Timothy 2:15.. There are different dispensations in the Bible, and the gospels are not written to Christians during the church age that we are now in. The blasphemy of the Holy Ghost was only possible to Jesus Christ when He was on the earth in bodily form; not the indwelling person of the Holy Ghost in born again believers today. It will also be when He comes on the earth again.
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Dear Emanuel; you are mistaken about how one can blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Are you not aware of the furious rage of blasphemy against the Spirit coming from all sides these days? What about EVERYTHING coming out of Hollywood and the entire Entertainment Industry? Also, about being "Charismatic;" you should do an unbiased study on its origins and put them alongside the Scriptures: NOT of the LORD!
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    There are a number of folks posting on here who are wanting very badly to run with the tidings, but have no tidings yet to bear. Let him that teaches wait on teaching! The knowledge and understanding can only come through faithful continuance in the Lord and proven by fiery trial. So many young Christians just barely get started with Jesus and don't know how to wait for Him to teach them first.
  • Bruce on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Linda: Speaking Evil of The Holy Spirit. Telling a Born-again Believer they have a devil or saying The Spirit is lying,etc. Mark3:29-30.---Abortion is not Blasphemy against The Spirit,it's just sin that The Blood of Christ can Cover. I haven't been reading the Post as much or of some Individuals. I guess I need to change that. Thank you Linda for your question.
  • Okoilu E. Olawole on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    To blaspheme means to deliberately, yet blindly, insult The Spirit of God, calling Him that which is contrary to His identity- an Evil spirit.
  • Emanuel Fernandes on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    First if your a charismatic ITS IMPOSSIBLE to blaspheme the Holy Ghost and be not forgiven. You can only blaspheme The Holy Ghost when Christ was physically on the earth. Pharisees thought Christs miracles was from devil possession. The only time you can blaspheme the holy ghost in the future is when Christ returns to rule the earth from his davidic throne
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Linda; Blasphemy means to speak evil of, to reproach. Speaking evil of, or Reproaching the Spirit of God; as in saying that the Lord Jesus Christ has an unclean spirit; cannot be forgiven in this life or the next. Of all the sins and blasphemies that men do; Jesus said that all will be forgiven EXCEPT THAT! We must follow the Lord's example of how to deal with or speak to such.
  • Rhonda Dotson on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    The blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is talk against him.
    Saying that he is a devil.

  • Linda on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
  • Adam Segler on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Let us all come together ..as a family ...our focus on our Lord ..Jesus..to do the will of The Father ..
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men." There are some things that are so horrible that we cannot dare to think it possible that Jesus was also referring to THEM when He said this. Not every girl who is pressured to abort her baby deserves to be permanently cursed and condemned. There are wicked forces at work which go about to deceive and devour us!
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    "...And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days? that they might accuse him." We should read all three accounts (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) of these things to see completely what happened. While the Lord defends the guiltless against religious impostors' hatred and hostility, He still tries to instruct those who have no heart to know the truth or any right understanding.
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way: and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6 "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29 Christ died for our sins ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES! The Lord Jesus told the Jews who did not believe on Him; "If you believe not that I AM, you shall die in your sins."
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    to 6/30/2017 Comment by "insight777" about Matthew Chapter 12: Abel, who was the first to do offer a slaughtered lamb in coming to present himself to God, was setting in order his accounting of himself to God, with a token of the absolutely fundamental fact of his existence; that of the LORD's Anointed coming in flesh to destroy the works of the devil, and save man from his sins.
  • Insight777 on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    V12, Jesus is amazing. No sheep is better than a man. So how does a sheep that is less than a man have the greater value to release man from sin bondage? Jesus said all men have sin, those without sin cast the first stone of "death for sin". They can't. You are freed from sin by forgiving each other and joining in spirit with God in water baptism. No death required.
  • A disciple on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    "Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew, he withdrew himself from thence: and great crowds followed him, and he healed them all; and charged them that they should not make him known:" Jesus doesn't overpower his enemies to show them by force; nor does He need public displays to further the Spirit's work for His righteous cause.
  • Irene123 on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    LU2677 - Yes, you are very right about "I believe". I had changed my mind about that, but hadn't gotten around to it. And I appreciate the way you presented your post - friendly, not condemning, judgmental, angry, and not holier-than-thou. These are not referring to you.
  • Lu2677 on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    I believe God's word is true; Matthew:36-37 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words, shalt thou be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
    The words "I believe" are not wrong to use, as long as they are followed by God's truth and not personal opinions, or imaginations.
  • Stephende on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    Jesus demonstrates his Bible scholarship all thru out the NT. He is challenged at every turn by the Pharisees, who were scripture lawyers. Have you not read, he would tell, what was said of old concerning David, of whose lineage Jesus sprang forth, thru his mother, Mary. These accounts are meant for our sake! Irene correctly confirms the importance of the OT. Don't be phony Christians VP
  • Irene123 on Matthew 12 - 6 years ago
    There are people who start their comments with "I think" , "I believe" - and I have been guilty of that on here. We need to use Jesus' example; He said, "It is written", "It is said", "Have ye not read". He never once said, "I think" or I believe". Jesus KNEW the O.T. scriptures and He used them. It's not what we think or believe; it's what His word says. It's all about Him, not us.
