Sins Against The Holy Spirit
         The following are sins against the Holy Spirit:
  1. Refusal to repent.

  2. Working or living against the natural laws of life.

  3. Noise-making, including dragging feet on the floor/ground.

  4. Etc.

Reasons Do Not Save A Person Before The Judgment Throne Of God
         Below are cases that show that reasons are irrelevant before the judgment throne of God, because He foreknew the reasons before giving a comamnd:
  1. Adam was not saved by the reasons he gave God for his disobedience.

  2. Eve was not saved by her reasons that Devil deceived her.

  3. King Saul was not saved by his reasons. He brought home fat cows and beautiful girls, despite Gods directive to destroy all humans and animals in Amalek. His reasons did not save him from loosing the kingdom of Israel.

  4. The reason given by the Pharisees and scribes did not make Jesus answer their question.

    23 Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?"

    24 But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: 25 The baptism of John — where was it from? From heaven or from men?"

    And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven ,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' 26 But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet." 27 So they answered Jesus and said, "We do not know."

    And He said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. Matthew 21:23-27

  5. After a person has made a vow, what did the word said about it. Do not come back and say you did not mean it or that you did not know what you were saying.

    21 "When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the LORD your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin to you. 22 But if you abstain from vowing, it shall not be sin to you. 23 That which has gone from your lips you shall keep and perform, for you voluntarily vowed to the LORD your God what you have promised with your mouth. Deuteronomy 23:21-23

  6. The reasons of ignorance and selfishness do not save people from the hell fire. 44 "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?' 45 Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:44-46
