if i was judged by what comes out of my mouth when i am upset, I’d be facing eternal Hell…One of the nurses I work with comes from the Philippines I think. I was pretty shocked when I heard her take the name of the Holy Spirit in vain when things went wrong or became awkward.

but my God is bigger than that. Blashphemy of the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with what comes out of a person’s mouth… except that in tht psg (Mt 12:32) we all see the manifestation of what could definitely BE that kind of unforgivable sin… and which is probably why Jesus is speaking on the subject…
Jesus is speaking of a hardness of heart that stems from a person, over an extended period of time, rejecting Jesus - over and over & over again… until he is so hardened he cannot receive Him anymore… cannot accept forgivenes…
it is not being forgiven (& purified) that is the sin that won’t be forgiven “in the age to come” (st Mt 12:32) All other sins can be dealt with in Purgatory (the age to come)…
