I luv looking at different translations of the same verse becasue it helps me understand what teh verse is saying. Brittwit, I really like the translation u used; it really showed what the auther might have been wanting to say. I shall follow ur example;) [size=4]\"And everyone who makes a statement or speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the HOly SPirit [that is, whoever intentionally comes short of the reverence due to the Holy Spirit], it will not be forgiven him - for him there is no forgiveness.\" Luke 12:10 (AMPLIFIED) [/size]
