  • PER122 Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

    This article explores blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, an unforgivable offense discussed in the Gospels. Attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to an unclean spirit crosses a boundary beyond forgiveness. The crucial role of the Holy Spirit in forgiveness and conversion is emphasized. The article broadens the discussion to consider the possibility of such a sin in the contemporary context.

    Mark 3.28-30 (King James Version) :
    Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

  • PER201 Offenses and occasions for stumbling

    Pericope PER201 presents Jesus' private teaching in Capernaum on offenses and occasions for stumbling. He distinguishes two cases: those who cause new converts to stumble, and Christians confronted with their own weaknesses. Through radical bodily metaphors, Jesus calls us to eliminate everything that leads to sin, stressing that life in the kingdom of God is worth any sacrifice. Matthew, Mark and Luke report this teaching with complementary nuances.

    Mark 9.36 (King James Version) :
    And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
