Notes on Blaspheme

In Matthew 9:3 and Mark 2:7 is accused by the Scribes of Blaspheme. In this case the Blaspheme is forgiving sin which is a prerogative of God rather than that of man. Since Jesus is God it is not blaspheme but since the Scribes denied the divinity of Jesus they would see it as blaspheme.

To Understand my faith better I have decided to construct these pages. They are strictly educational, non-commercial and to foster scholarly discussion. All Bible quotes are from the King James Version unless otherwise stated. I use the KJV because while not a perfect translation it is literal and out of Copyright. All mistakes are my own and if you differ from my thoughts I welcome your comments. J. Barry O'Connell Jr.
