Mark 3:20-30; Luke 11:14-23; 12:10)

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to talk was brought to him. Jesus healed him so that the man could speak and see. All the crowds were amazed and kept saying, “This man isn't the Son of David, is he?”

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”

(Jesus)He knew what they were thinking and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
So if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How, then, can his kingdom stand? (ya didnt know satan has his own ruling kingdom?) If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!
But if I drive out demons by the(HOLY GHOST) Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. (CHRIST and the HOLLY GHOST working as GOD)
How can someone go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man? Then he can ransack his house.
“The person who isn't with me is against me, and the person who isn't gathering with me is scattering. So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the (HOLY)Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man(JESUS) will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.”

So freedom of speech is an unforgivable sin?

However, the Pharisees had so firmly set their hearts against accepting Jesus as the Messiah that they rejected the obvious truth before them


and perversely twisted it to influence the crowds.


They publicly credited the most ultimately evil being in the universe with these precious, godly miracles. In other words, they called the precious and holy Spirit of God, the unclean spirit of Satan. In effect, they charged Jesus Christ with sorcery; one who is in league with Satan. These charges are not only appalling and extremely serious, but clearly absurd.

Some Christians today will do the same thing to spritual healers and miracle workers who do not give all the credit to the Christian God or Jesus for their work.

Things never change.

"""Some Christians today will do the same thing to spritual healers and miracle workers who do not give all the credit to the Christian God or Jesus for their work.

Of the three major religious societies of Judaism at the time of the New Testament (the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes), the Pharisees were often the most vocal and influential.
The name Pharisee in its Hebrew form means separatists, or the separated ones.
The Pharisees perhaps meant to obey God, but eventually they became so extremist in very limited parts of The Law (plus all that they MAY OF ADDED to it themselves), that they became blind to The Messiah when He was in their very midst.


Acts 23:6
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead."


"For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes [see Lawyers] and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:20)

They were so outwardly to the public and then hypocritical behind closed doors because their heart were not right. And CHRIST KNEW THEIR HEARTS. So looks like if your even a camel hairs better in practice and in conscious of heart you are in...

(Mat 15:19-20)
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.

It s about temptation and to do gods will and follow his commandments so NO EVIL will ever live in heaven again.
Hes had enough of that crap I suspect.

They never charged Yahshua with Sorcery. Quite the oppisite they talked amoungst themselves how can he not be from Yahweh. All good things come from him and surely these miracles are good.

learn your bible. These guy will eat you for breakfast if this is your kind of thinking what the Scriptures say.. Blessings...Miles

all religions have more in common then differences. It is man that desires to raise himself up as better then those he finds differences in.
