In Mathew 12:32 "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

Whats this mean?

Take this in context, Jesus was replying to the pharasees who said that Jesus casting out demons was the work of the devil. To misunderstand or not beleive in Jesus do to ignorance is forgiveable, because he is in human form. However to say that the work of the holy spirit itself is evil cannot be forgiven.

One cannot mistake good for evil, and evil for good. This is what is unforgiveable.

Anyway, how can you say Jesus was the devil? I mean, if it wasn't really Jesus then Satan wouldnt exist, anyone understand what im saying?
