"Therefore, I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.”
— Matthew 12:31
**What is Blasphemy?**
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, blasphemy is defined as:
1. The act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for the Lord, our God.
2. The act of claiming the attributes of a deity.
3. Irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable.
In today's society, many people are led to believe that sexually abusing or violating another person is a forgivable sin.
But is it?
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?”
— 1 Corinthians 6:19
The lack of reverence displayed through sexual abuse, and the harm caused by desecrating a person's body— which is the temple of the Holy Spirit— constitutes an unforgivable sin.
When you dishonor someone through sexual abuse or rape, you also dishonor the Lord.
As a child of God, you belong to the Lord, as do all things on earth. Your body, specifically, is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, dishonoring and desecrating a person's body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, is not only a grave sin but also an unforgivable one.
To avoid the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, your behaviors, actions, and laws should reflect the gravity and heinousness of the unforgivable unholy sins of sexual abuse and rape of the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Thus, it is essential for one's salvation to vigorously respect, reverence, and defend the honor of a person’s body, including your own.
