Jonathan Edwards on Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

Jonathan Edwards does the best job of explaining these very difficult passages on what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I'll spend a few posts posting his explanation.

"There seem to be three things essential to this sin: conviction, malice, and presumption in expressing that malice. Christ says,Mat. 12:31-32, “Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men and, whosoever speaketh a word against the son of man it shall be forgiven him but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost neither in this world nor in the world to come.”
