Can You Blaspheme The Holy Spirit Without Speaking?

Mark 3:28-30, “Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.”

Someone today asked me if an unsaved person can blaspheme the Holy Spirit without speaking a word. I humbly believe, yes, it is possible, because our human vocal box (larynx) and mouth are merely biological tools to convert the thoughts of our heart into audible sounds. 

I am firmly convinced that “blaspheming” the Holy Spirit refers to knowingly rejecting Jesus Christ. In the case of the Apostle Peter, he audibly denied knowing Christ due to fear of prosecution, torture and even death. But Peter in his heart of hearts would never deny Christ, he loved the Lord. So, to me blaspheming the Holy Spirit means to reject Jesus in the solitude of one's soul, a bonafide rejection of the Savior.

Rebellious wives blaspheme the Word of God. 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝟮:𝟱, “𝗧𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲, 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱.” When professed Christians commit open sin, we give the Devil's crowd opportunity to SPEAK EVIL (blaspheme) the Word of God. That is why a pastor with a tarnished testimony is discouraged in the Bible from being a pastor, lest he fall into the condemnation of the Devil.

A pastor's name (reputation) must be above reproach, even though no believer can live above sinning. We are all sinners. So, to answer the question, I think YES, it is possible to blaspheme the Holy Spirit without opening one's mouth. Years ago in 1987 there was a famous liberal arts lunatic who displayed a crucifix of Jesus submerged in a jar of piss. Without speaking a single word, we could definitely say that the artist Andres Serrano blasphemed the Holy Spirit. The world hates Jesus (John 7:7).

By the way, that is why I believe those who receive the Mark of the Beast in the future will be damned to Hell. Without speaking a word, by just receiving the MARK, it will be equivalent to rejecting Christ.

I also believe that is why Revelation 22:19 warns that if any man take away from the Word of God, the Lord will also remove his name from the Lamb's Book of Life. Intentionally corrupting the Word of God is the same as rejecting Jesus, who is THE WORD OF GOD (Revelation 19:13). To tamper with the Holy Bible is to blaspheme Jesus, and I believe also the Holy Spirit.

Since we know that salvation is a free gift that cannot be lost, returned or forfeited, we can logically conclude that everyone's name then must be recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life from eternity past. Even before birth, everyone's name must be recorded in the Book of Life. When a man rejects Christ, his name is removed. Corrupting the Bible is essentially a rejection of Christ. Taking the Mark of the Beast is essentially a rejection of Christ. That is why all babies automatically go to Heaven, because their names are all recorded in the Book of Life. This is all speculation, of course, but this interpretation seems to fit well with the puzzle of the Scriptures. I hope that helps a bit.

I humbly believe to reject Jesus as one's Savior is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
