The Spiritual Equivalence Principle: Unforgiveness as Blaspheming the Holy Spirit
Just as Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity by showing that acceleration and gravitation are indistinguishable within a closed system, I believe Jesus reveals a spiritual symmetry: unforgiveness and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, though seemingly distinct, may be functionally equivalent in their impact on the soul.
