Chizuk Emunah (Pt 2) Under the Microscope: Chapter 16

Matthew 12:32, "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man it shall bet forgiven him, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." See also Luke 12:10. Both Matthew and Luke acknowledge, by this warning, that Jesus is the Son of Man; and that he and the Holy Ghost are not identical, consequently they were fully convinced that there is no doctrine in the Testament enforcing the belief in a triune deity, and that such a notion rests merely on imagination.

Ironically, a group of secularists used this verse to initiate the "blasphemy challenge" where people would go on record denying the Holy Spirit. I wonder here if Troki is ignorant of Trinitarian Monotheism or if he is exploiting his readers' ignorance. The New Testament certainly does teach that Jesus is not the Father, nor is he the Holy Spirit. Let's to to that diagram again:

Monotheism - There is one God
Unitarianism - God is one person

The Bible teaches the former, but not the latter. Even Artscroll translates the Shema as "God, the one and only." It is an affirmation of monotheism, but not unitarianism. The same context of "one" applies to Zechariah. "And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one." This does not mean that God will only have one name, but that God and his name will be the only being worshiped.

The Bible Gateway blog notes this about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit:

Note that Jesus didn’t address his comments to his disciples or a mere crowd. He was talking specifically to Pharisees who had personally witnessed his miracle of completely and instantly healing a blind and mute demon-possessed man (Matthew 12:22). Rather than acknowledging the obvious fact that Jesus was exercising divine powers, the Pharisees were so spiritually depraved that they attributed his power to Satan (v. 24). “Their problem was not blind ignorance, but willful rejection,” pointed out Cornish. “That deliberate refusal to believe, even though knowing the truth, seems to be what Jesus called the unforgivable sin.”
