What is a sin that leads to death? And what does blasphemy against the Holy Spirit consist of?
As far as can be judged from the text of Holy Scripture, the Evangelist John in Jo1 5:16-21 calls a sin that leads to death that which makes impossible a person's relationship with God and the presence of God in their life. According to the meaning of the epistle, this refers to the betrayal of love for God or for one's neighbor, expressed in a conscious rejection of love. The general consensus of the early Christians saw such a sin in three acts: renunciation of Christ, murder, and adultery. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is such an act or spiritual position in which repentance becomes impossible, i.e., when a person rejects the very possibility of repentance or considers God's forgiveness as something bad, unnecessary for them, or impossible for them. Thus, here too, it is a matter of rejecting love.
