Going to sound strange but I think we should be praying for mercy for our enemies...
✝️ Scripture 🕊️
God will win and His might is beyond what we can imagine. Those that are the enemy of God will suffer enormous loss. Pray for God to have mercy on even those that are against Him.
Remember we were all against Him before He came looking for us and found us.
Still dodging the question. Just a roundabout way of admitting:
It's not in the scripture
It's your own personal fallible interpretation of scripture
"Blaspheme HS" --> * lots of words and handwaving * --> "murder while calling yourself god"
That is your basic algorithm. It's NOT in scripture.
I appreciate the long and well-thought out response. But fact remains that scripture does not directly or explicitly say "blaspheme HS" = "kill innocent while calling yourself god". That's why you have to go through that long and convoluted explanation. If it was in scripture you would need to just give me a chapter and verse and it'd be ezpz, but it's not, bc it's not in scripture.
Here's a simple example where I can poke a hole in your thesis.
Why does God say "I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats" (Isaiah 1:11) and "No, I don't need your sacrifices of flesh and blood, what I want from you is your true thanks; I want your promises fulfilled. I want you to trust m in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and can give me glory." (Psalm 50:13-15).
Boom, it was a house of cards to begin with.
Thank you, that's all I was looking for. Some honesty.
If you want to stick to your personal fallible interpretation of scripture, knock yourself out.
Catholic theologians have various explanations but I think the most commonly known one is this:
Human sacrifice is heinous, yes, so is genocide and rape. But even these are ultimately forgivable, if the person who commits it is repentant. But to refuse to repent even when the HS tries to inspire the person to repent would be to blaspheme the HS.
