Yes  Vine Abider  we must co-operate if we want to be in a good and faithful relationship with God. You can't be in a good standing relationship with anything that you claim to love, if you are not willing to co-operate. When we Hear God calling us to His plan of Mercy and Grace, we ask God to forgive our sins and make a home in us. When we do this we have invited God to forgive our sins cover them with His shed Blood, and we also receive the Holy Spirit of God that comes and grafts in our hearts His LAW, His commandments, so that when we go the wrong way, our spirit gets convicted ( usually faster than not) by the Holy Spirit of God to repent and return to His right truth full Way. If we disobey rebellio0usdly this conviction, we grieve the Holy Spirit and make our life worse not better. The danger with unrepentant sin, the more you wilfully continue to engage in sin, without repenting and seeking His forgiveness the more you distance yourself from God and  His Holy Spirit, and the more corrupt your mind becomes to the point of no longer being able to discern, recognize right from wrong. Here Christ Jesus will go looking for His lost sheep and will try to bring the lost sheep back to His fold. (john 10:10) If you are truly His, you WILL hear His voice and you will desire to repent and also grieve that you disappointment Him and you will be willing from a sincere place of heart to recommit your life to Him by become more willing to fellowship with Him daily and ask Him for direction in doing His will over yours. He is Faithful to help you find back your way. He will bring back through the Holy Spirit of God the remembrance of His ways and restore your own conscience to His righteous ways. He will take away the strongholds in you and restore you to the child of God you where always intended to be. However is you do not heed His call, and still continue to sin, your conscience will become more and more seared and can become so depraved it becomes reprobate the point of no return, that is, that you no longer recognize His voice, nor desire to follow Him and may even curse the Holy Spirit God in your last breath of life. This is the unpardonable sin, when you have rejected the Holy Spirit of God to indwell in you. Mathew 12: 31-32 Hell is the absence of God Look to 1 John ch1, God is light no darkness can live in Him. Christ Jesus explained His plan of salvation through His Mercy and Grace through parable of the Sower. in Mathew 13: 18-23   When we read through John’s gospel we find Jesus teaching that indwelling is future tense. John 14:15 and following, “If you love me you will keep my commandments. And I WILL ask the Father and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, FOR HE ABIDES ‘WITH’ YOU AND WILL BE ‘IN’ YOU.”   I would be very careful to never encourage a person that is seeking Christ Jesus and His plan of Mercy and Grace that its ok to continue in sinful behaviour because its NOT. And anyone professing to be a Christian who does this; is misleading and straying themselves from Gods Word and plan of Mercy and Grace and will be held accountable for also misleading another.   Luke 17:2 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a sin that I understand is not forgivable.   I would assume that there are more than one way to do that.   I think worshiping the Beast, and taking the mark of the Beast, seem to be a final condemnation not recoverable from.

It is my understanding that in the days of Jesus in the flesh, Israeli girls could marry at age 12. Sharia Law states that if Muslim girls marry at that age, they can not consummate the marriage until the girl passes puberty.  I know it doesn't fit today's standards, but life spans were not what they are now back then. We should remember that Islamic people are still pretty much moral wise, living in the seventh century after Mohammad died.

There is only 1 unforgivable sin. Intentionally rejecting the truth and forgiveness of Jesus after knowing the truth. Everything up until this can be forgiven, but once this is done, a person is pushed past the point of repentance. This is not because Jesus won't forgive the person, but because the person has hardened their heart so much that they are no longer able to seek forgiveness. 

Even when Hamas not only hides but fights from within these Hospitals and has for decades.  They store weapons and even shoot rockets from the parking lot of these hospitals.   These in Gaza are no longer hospitals, but military bases where they take people for health care.   And they must be destroyed if Israel is to be safe.  You can blame Hamas for the problem, for the military is not supposed to operate out of hospitals. Hamas has no dignity or morals when it comes to their enemy, or their own people, and deserves none from any of the rest of us.  The people killed in those hospitals according to their beliefs go directly to heaven and unlike other who have to lay in their graves till the end of the word so to speak.   And remember that the citizens in Gaza voted to make Hamas their government, so there are very few if any that are truly innocent. Throughout history, the people there that are trying to be considered Palestinians are really just several tribes of people who have fought amongst themselves for so many years we don't even know.  If it wasn't for Israel, they would still be killing each other. The people in Gaza didn't want to be governed by the Palestinian Authority, so separated themselves from the West Bank folks.  They will be fighting amongst themselves if Israel is destroyed.   You might also be concerned by the documents found during the investigation of the Holyland Foundation in the early 2000s, where documents were found laying out a ten-year plan to overthrow the USA government.  And though the top five people were sent to prison, no one in power has done anything to stop the plan from being carried out by the many Islamic organizations here in the US.  It is well on its way, just a few years postponed.  Hamas is a global terrorist group and needs to be destroyed globally. I've interfaced with them on the dark web several years ago and still get occasional death threats from them.  I took them serious enough to go to our local sheriff's department and was suggested to always carry a weapon away from home. My feeling about them are kind of on the personal side.
