The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ." "But the Counselor, The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will Send in my name (The Son), will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:26 (NIV)"So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
