What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, How does it differ to unfaithfulness? Are all covenant breakers blasphemous against the holy spirit ?
"If a soul distances himself from the Manifestation, he may yet be awakened, for he may have failed to know Him and to recognize Him as the Embodiment of the divine perfections. But if he loathes the divine perfections themselves, which are the Holy Spirit, this shows that, bat-like, he is a hater of the light.
This hatred of the light itself is irremediable and unforgivable; that is, it is impossible for such a soul to draw near to God. This lamp here is a lamp because of its light; without the light it would not be a lamp. A soul that abhors the light of the lamp is, as it were, blind and cannot perceive the light, and this blindness is the cause of eternal deprivation."
What does 'loathe the divine perfections' even mean? Does that mean a person would hate all good and be purely evil? Is that even possible?
What's the difference between blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and covenant breaking? What's the difference between just being unfaithful and going against the Holy Spirit?
Can someone just help me out of this confusion?
