What did the Pharisees say against the Holy Spirit and why was it such a serious offense?
The Pharisees accused Jesus of having a demon, in other words, they called the Holy Spirit evil. The Holy Spirit is God, and those who dare to call God evil are in big trouble because He is our judge, we don't get to judge Him. see Job 40:7-14

What did the Pharisees say against the Holy Spirit and why was it such a serious offense?
The sin against the Holy Spirit. It was a wanton and blasphemous attack on the divine power and nature of Christ. Such a sin God would not forgive. That is, as Mark expresses it, “hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.” (Mark.3:28-30). This fixes the meaning of the phrase. It means, then, not the future age or dispensation, known among the Jews as the world to come, but it means that the guilt will be unpardoned forever; that such is the purpose of God that he will not forgive a sin so direct, presumptuous, and awful.

I don't have a clue, but I need to understand why this is an unforgiveable sin.
