I agree with you when I agree with you but not always when not agreeing with you but at least we know we can always “agree” with each other even when we’re not “agreeing” with each other. Do you agree?

If you could blaspheme the Holy Spirit then you’re not Christian. FACT.

I could not agree any more. But there is nothing that can keep me from doing it unless I choose not to do it. That is what is beautiful about having a Free Will.

John 16:8-11 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

The Holy Spirit works in the hearts of men.

If one attributes this work to some evil force, the result is that I will not be convicted of my own sin, of God's righteousness, of the necessity of faith in Christ, or of the impending doom of judgment. .... that is the sin of unbelief.

This is Christ talking here.
28 Now if, by the spirit of God, I am casting out demons, consequently the kingdom of God outstrips in time to you."

He clearly states He cast out demons by the Spirit of God. This is after they claimed He cast out demons by satan. Then Christ informs them that is Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

I normally don't get involved on websites. But seeing there is more free time than usual. I looked at either joining here or a site called Worthy.

Right, they refused to believe in His authority and the look at the bigger picture, this was not His first time dealing with those guys, Pharisees.

Are you another who does not consider context and the bigger picture?

I am using the entire context.
24 Now the Pharisees, hearing it, said, "This man is not casting out the demons except by Beezeboul, the chief of the demons." 25 Now, having perceived their sentiments, He said to them, "Every kingdom parted against itself is being desolated, and every city or house parted against itself shall not stand." 26 And if the Satan is casting out the Satan, he is parted against himself. How, then, shall his kingdom stand? 27 And if I, by Beezeboul, am casting out demons, by whom are your sons casting them out? Therefore they shall be your judges." 28 Now if, by the spirit of God, I am casting out demons, consequently the kingdom of God outstrips in time to you." 29 Or how can anyone be entering into the house of the strong one, and plunder his gear, if ever he should not first be binding the strong one? And then he will be plundering his house." 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me is scattering." 31 Therefore I am saying to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be pardoned men, yet the blasphemy of the spirit shall not be pardoned." 32 And whosoever may be saying a word against the Son of Mankind, it will be pardoned him, yet whoever may be saying aught against the holy spirit, it shall not be pardoned him, neither in this eon nor in that which is impending."
