Today, points are shared on the various charges of blasphemy brought against Jesus Christ and his ministry of divine Spirit. Correctly understood, blasphemy is more than simply coarse and rude verbal behavior showing disrespect and irreverence. Blasphemy denies the “god-ness” and integrity of Deity. By charging Jesus with blasphemy against the Temple at Jerusalem, doctrine and worship there were exposed as corrupt and idolatrous. Because blasphemy may express the absolute rejection of divine spirit substance, the crucial links to GOD that establish communion with the holy, existence, forgiveness, and even ability to contain life essence are all broken beyond repair, restoration, or any substitution. Salvation by GOD is by a process that involves breath (we say, utterance, word, spirit), and actions that make visible the sovereign will of GOD. As the Son of Man (Adam), the Savior demonstrated aspects of the necessary priesthood and service to be carried out by those who would willingly come into relationship to divinity by receiving sacred substance from the makeup of GOD. Jesus was opposed in this work by those seeking to maintain earthly notions of service to GOD that were grounded in carnal, material, and social beliefs. Through the imparted Spirit, created beings and living creatures are being prepared to exist having eternal life (we say, immortality, incorruption, perfection, purity, sacred knowledge and sanctification). Inseparable aspects of spirit content are deposited within believers such as faith, holiness, longsuffering, righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Consider again how this is taught by the Scriptures, and see the presentation below:
Romans 8: 14-17, King James Version (KJV): 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 6: 20-23, KJV: 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Matthew 12: 35-37, KJV: 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 25: 44-46, KJV: 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
1st John 5: 20, KJV: 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Can I be explain that Jesus referred to in Matthew 12:32?
Update: When Jesus speaks of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, it refers to any blasphemy against God go, or to a specific blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (John 17: 1-11, KJV)

“Daniel”, the “crime” Jesus was officially charged with, and sentenced to die upon the cross for by the High Priest and Sanhedrin court that represented all Israel, was blasphemy against the Temple. Others also had urged he be charged with blasphemy against the covenant of Moses (also called, the law), and against the doctrines and teachings of the Pharisees (who sought to uphold the law without acknowledging prophecy, or the prophets) and Sadducees (who denied the existence of angels and spirits, and resurrection of the dead). While daily ministering to the people, the Savior had delivered stern warnings against blasphemy to those who accused him of performing miracles through the power of demons and devils. Even for many mature Christian believers, “blasphemy” means violating the first commandments of the Decalogue (Ten Commandments): Thou shalt have no other God before me; thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. To misuse, or speak any divine name without genuine authority from God was deceit, false prophecy, and presumption (i.e., taking authority to oneself without permission—that is, overturning divine order, stealing power, and usurping). The ministry and priesthood that Jesus demonstrated went beyond the customs and traditions of the religious establishment, that centered upon making offerings, payments, and sacrifices to atone for sin. Christ taught that the character and nature of mankind must be permanently changed; there must be rebirth that only appears through various operations of spirit substance imparted from the makeup of Deity. Jesus is to be acknowledged as a response by divinity using flesh and blood (we say, Incarnation), to explain and further introduce sacred process for mankind upon the earth using divine substance (we say, the Comforter, Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth). Divine love that is expressed as forbearance, forgiveness, and mercy in judgment, also provides for created beings and living creatures to continue as eternal companions to GOD. Consider again how this is stated using language from the Bible:
(1.) John 3: 1-7, King James Version (KJV): 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
(2.) John 4: 23-24, KJV: 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
There is far more to be said, understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) 1st Peter 1: 22-24, KJV: 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
