However, blasphemy takes on many forms and shapes...
Like if they deny that the holy spirit exists, would they be actually blaspheming against it?
Or would simple idol worship, having other gods besides Jahweh also constitute blasphemy? Because those people also do not acknowledge the existence of the holy spirit since they don't believe in it in the first place, which would make conversion really a moot, and impossible.
I was going to address these issues also but my post was already getting too long.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
