How to Know God’s Righteous Disposition Though His Words?
Through God’s fellowship on “it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come,” this article allows us to have a true understanding of this saying, and to see the righteousness, majesty, and intolerance of offense in God’s disposition, so that we can take a grave warning from the Pharisees’ being cursed by God owing to their blasphemy against God, and reflect on ourselves what manner of attitude we should have to the Lord’s return.

Whenever I read these words that the Lord Jesus said to curse the Pharisees, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites” (Matthew 23:13), and “All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (Matthew 12:31-32), though I knew that it is because the Pharisees’ actions and deeds drew the ire of God and made God hate them to the extreme that God pronounced such curses upon them, I was still confused: Since God detested the Pharisees so much, why isn’t it recorded in the Bible how He punished them? And how is the saying of God “it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” fulfilled? This made me feel confused all the time.
