If you poison the spring, the very source, you must die of drinking the water, so long as the poison is there. And if you deny and blaspheme the very essence from which forgiveness springs and flows, forgiveness is killed (for you) by your own hand. There can be no remission, no healing for that, since it is in fact — "Evil, be thou my good; good, thou art evil!" How significant it is that it is the attributing goodness, righteousness of word, life, action, "good works" in short, to an evil source, which is the unpardonable sin — not the converse; not the ascribing unworthy things to the source of good; not the having faulty conceptions of Him. If it were that, who among us would escape?
