context of Matthew, chapter 12, verses 30 and

with Pharisees and scribes and he's dealing with

apostasy. He's not talking about somebody who

has made a mistake before he got saved or

somebody who has done something wrong.

He's talking about those who speak out against

Jesus Christ and the revelation that the Spirit of

God has given about Him, those who crucify

Him afresh, those who trod under foot the

blood of the New Covenant whereby they are

to be saved. He's talking about apostasy.
