Is calling a preacher fake blasphemy against the holy spirit?
Me and my friend are arguing over it....
THE BATTLE AXE: When People Covet (12/22/2013)—(5.) While the excuse is often offered that violating the law (we say, transgression, sin) was justified and necessary for survival, every crime of fraud and theft begins with covetousness. This is also true for deceptions and practices by angelic beings against mankind to deprive humanity of sacred dominion and divine inheritance. Thus, Christ has declared: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep (John 10: 9-11, KJV). (6.) Covetousness pertains to the exalting of money and property as a false god, and relates to the worship of idols. The person who covets becomes enmeshed within the flesh and the world as belief systems. More than this, covetousness fosters disruptive competition and emulation among men as well as presumption, rebellion, and usurpation against GOD (see Galatians 5: 19-21 and 25-26, 1st Corinthians 4: 6-7, 2nd Corinthians 10: 12, Isaiah 42: 8 and Isaiah 48: 11, KJV). Just as Christian believers come to understand they cannot exercise authority and expect or demand any good thing from the wicked, neither can believers covet, and expect or demand any thing from other believers. All believers should seek to arrive at a point where they joyfully can say: “No man on earth has any goods or property more valuable to me than my salvation. No man has any object or thing I would kill him to get, or even lie to make it mine. That specially means his wife, his car, his house, his dog, his family.” (See Romans 13: 7-9 and 1st Timothy 6: 7-9, KJV.) Once we are correctly aware of our value to GOD, we may say as the Apostle Paul: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4: 11-13, KJV).

“Christine”, for Christian believers there are a number of divine warnings recorded in the holy writings that should be remembered and applied when speaking against those who are set apart as “full-time” servants to GOD. Included are some of the following points:
(1.) Who art thou that judgest another’s servant? (Romans 14: 4, KJV) Authority to judge those in the clergy may exist through the hierarchy that governs an assembly or community of faith by virtue of voluntary oaths and pledges. However, the church is not a “democracy” where every man has a voice by vote. Strict lines of accountability and oversight are likely to be in place that are not immediately visible to, and do not directly include members of the congregation.
(2.) The work of GOD is to believe whom he has sent (John 6: 29, KJV). The acceptance of the message is the first priority, rather than acceptance of the messenger. The message is to be carefully examined using divine discernment (i.e., comparing spiritual things to other spiritual things to determine their authenticity; their fit with acknowledged truth; their prophetic nature as comfort, edification or exhortation; their likely eternal effects; their sacred intent; their source; and their spirit content).
(3.) Judge nothing before the time (1st Corinthians 4: 5, KJV). Before the time that we ourselves are perfected, before the time we are thoroughly instructed, prepared and appointed to judge, believers must exercise caution. There are many subtleties (barely visible points of difference; hidden, unseen elements) that must be taken into account to correctly manifest the divine love that is judgment. Where Creation and Salvation display the sovereign majesty and power of Almighty GOD, Judgment must display eternal righteousness.
(4.) Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost (Matthew 12: 32, KJV). When one does not correctly discern and recognize the Holy Spirit, and the divine gifts that are present through the ministry of Jesus Christ, that person is at risk of losing intended blessings and indispensable sacred provisions. To condemn or oppose a leader in the church, a prophet, or spiritual teacher is also to condemn the Spirit that operates through and within him. Spiritual blindness, darkness, denial, and lack of discernment are aligned with blasphemy of the Holy Spirit who is the specific person within the GODhead that carries out and establishes new birth, repentance, and sanctification.
There is far more to be said, properly shared, and spiritually understood. (For example, (5.) We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14: 10, KJV). Many who take up judgment do so as presumption (i.e., taking authority unto oneself without permission; stealing). It is a peculiar form of defiance, rebellion and usurpation (i.e., overthrowing existing government). In the coming judgment there will be no one who operates as an accuser or attacker. Each one who appears must answer the record of their own living deeds documented within the divine books of life.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? (Proverbs 19: 21-22, KJV)
