I was reading Luke, chapter 12:8 today and I was wondering if someone could help me understand this scripture:
“I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."
when they say anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will be NOT be forgiven what exactly does that mean...does it mean not believing in Christ or does it mean literally "cursing," the name of God or the Holy Spirit?
Could someone explain to me please? thank you
