So my question is since we believe Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is one, how can one be forgiven and the other not?

Is one part of the 3 offices, if you will, have a higher ranking?
The Trinity is NOT three offices in one...again the question still is in one what? A lot of people don't really know theology.

Trinitarians teach there is one God...numerically one God. That God is one essence (Spirit), being and Divine nature. That One God being is Tri PERSONAL....three persons.

An office is nothing more than a title. You can have the office of being a mother, sister and admin....That isn't even Oneness either.

For in Oneness the Son is more than a title. The Son has a real tangable existence.

Again you said
since we believe Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is one

And I ask...one what? I don't believe Father, Son and Holy ghost is one

I believe there is One personal God whose existence is Transcendent and Divine in nature.

He was incarnate and became the Son by adding a Human nature to His own person, which made him essentially human like us, yet without sin.

That answers the question. To blaspheme the Son and it not being held against you is to take into consideration that the Son has a human nature. God, Spirit...Father...is God existing ONLY in His Diety apart from the human nature
