To Resist the Commandment to Repent
To Refuse The Creator of All
Is Cosmic Treason
Only Hell is the apt punishment
If a child rebelling against parents is wrong …
How much more
Rebellion against Almighty God

What is Blasphemy Against Holy Spirit and why unforgivable
- JPII's encyclical, Dominum Et Vivificantem (On The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Church and the World, paragraph 46):
"Why is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit unforgivable? How should this blasphemy be understood ? St. Thomas Aquinas replies that it is a question of a sin that is "unforgivable by its very nature, insofar as it excludes the elements through which the forgiveness of sin takes place."
According to such an exegesis, "blasphemy" does not properly consist in offending against the Holy Spirit in words; it consists rather in the refusal to accept the salvation which God offers to man through the Holy Spirit, working through the power of the Cross. If man rejects the "convincing concerning sin" which comes from the Holy Spirit and which has the power to save, he also rejects the "coming" of the Counselor-that "coming" which was accomplished in the Paschal Mystery, in union with the redemptive power of Christ's Blood: the Blood which "purifies the conscience from dead works."
We know that the result of such a purification is the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, whoever rejects the Spirit and the Blood remains in "dead works," in sin. And the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit consists precisely in the radical refusal to accept this forgiveness, of which he is the intimate giver and which presupposes the genuine conversion which he brings about in the conscience. If Jesus says that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven either in this life or in the next, it is because this "non-forgiveness" is linked, as to its cause, to "non-repentance," in other words to the radical refusal to be converted. ....
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, then, is the sin committed by the person who claims to have a "right" to persist in evil-in any sin at all-and who thus rejects Redemption. One closes oneself up in sin, thus making impossible one's conversion, and consequently the remission of sins, which one considers not essential or not important for one's life. This is a state of spiritual ruin, because blasphemy against the Holy Spirit does not allow one to escape from one's self-imposed imprisonment and open oneself to the divine sources of the purification of consciences and of the remission of sins."

God is the gift
Gods purpose is to create a pure people (new humanity) that will model his attributes in the world for HIS GLORY. He wants to share himself with his creatures. But in order to be one-the creatures need to be pure. He made the World to dwell with His Bride, the Church and in His Mercy he prepared the Kingdom for us.
The people chosen are sinners (all sin)
He infuses righteousness by grace and faith. (Believe Him)
He has their plan and asks for them to cooperate with him. (Choose whom you will serve.)
He gives the new hearts and minds to follow his ways. (Not in ourselves-gift)
He gives the desire to obey and blesses them with the fruit of obedience (grace)
For His Glory! He does it ALL
Our first parents wanted to live life on their own terms choosing for themselves good apart from God
God did not give up on his creation he is remaking it.
He forgave and continues to ask us to submit to his love and do right for our own souls and to be blessed with Himself.
All for the glory of his grace!
We still don’t want to submit and give up sin
Which ironically is killing ourselves with self destruction.
The choice is yours, do you want to be His? He cleans and restores. All you can do is say Yes! Or No. Dont refuse or resist his call.
Repent of your way, Submit and Surrender to God, Be AWED to be One with God, and give glory to God for his forgiveness, his righteousness, his plan for you, his strength to obey, and his blessings of fruit of your obedience. All for the Glory of an amazing creator who wants to share His life with you.
God is the Gift.

Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with Me.
Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but I will help you with them.
If you make problem solving secondary to the goal of living close to Me, you can find Joy even in your most difficult
The Nature of Degeneration
Just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned… ROMANS 5:12
The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin, but that the nature of sin, namely, my claim to my right to myself, entered into the human race through one man. But it also says that another Man took upon Himself the sin of the human race and put it away— an infinitely more profound revelation (see Hebrews 9:26). The nature of sin is not immorality and wrongdoing, but the nature of self-realization which leads us to say, “I am my own god.” This nature may exhibit itself in proper morality or in improper immorality, but it always has a common basis— my claim to my right to myself. When our Lord faced either people with all the forces of evil in them, or people who were clean-living, moral, and upright, He paid no attention to the moral degradation of one, nor any attention to the moral attainment of the other. He looked at something we do not see, namely, the nature of man (see John 2:25).
Sin is something I am born with and cannot touch— only God touches sin through redemption. It is through the Cross of Christ that God redeemed the entire human race from the possibility of damnation through the heredity of sin. God nowhere holds a person responsible for having the heredity of sin, and does not condemn anyone because of it. Condemnation comes when I realize that Jesus Christ came to deliver me from this heredity of sin, and yet I refuse to let Him do so. From that moment I begin to get the seal of damnation. “This is the condemnation [and the critical moment], that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light…” (John 3:19).
