Please explain: How do you sin against the Holy Spirit?

For Stylez, Bro, I am not sure where you are going with this, I'd like to read more of your posts, but they are too short. Maybe you can start a new thread and write your entire belief system so I can have a better understanding. I am not sure if you've stated what you belief system is... Sorry for my confusion bro, this is not an attack, I am seriously asking.
From what I understand from your posts: (I apologize ahead of time if I am off base.)
1. First you assume that all Homosexuals don't believe in God, is that fare to say?
Do all robbers, thieves, adulterers DON'T believe in God or are not Christians?
From what I understand, nowhere did God say that homosexuality is a deadly sin that requires death. It does state that homosexuality is a sin such as robbery, adultery and such... But we are all forgiven...
Next, you are condemning me for not setting the Gay community straight? Bro, I can only lead by example. You can talk/write until your head falls off, only the person who you think needs straightened out will decide to make a change...
It's all about acting on the sin.
I sin, and boy do I try not to sin, it is hard, and at times I do fall again, and again and again....
Okay here is my take on this and I sure hope I am making sense.
1. I travel for my job all over the USA, which requires me to stay in Hotels, 3 to 4 nights a week. Do I have a chance to cheat on my wife with other ladies knowing I can get away with it? YES, the opportunity is most definitely there. NOW, do I act on it? NO!
2. Have I ever been so mad at a person that I could just hurt them real bad, even to the point of death? YES. NOW, do I act on it? NO!
3. Have I ever stolen anything, yes when I was kid... Do have the opportunity to steal now? YES, do I act on it NO...
4. My point about homosexuality to me, "AGAIN I SAY TO ME" is that it is a sexual desire that should not be acted on. Is being gay a biological thing. I think not (this is where my wife and I differ), but some say other wise. Only the Gay person "themselves" will make the final decision to keep acting on it, or not. When my gay friends ask me if I agree with their gay life style, I am honest and I say no... We go into our debate and we just tend to drop it after about an hour...
Are you a Christian? Are you for the person who wants to kill Gay's?

look, god can not be divided..
christian doctrine teaches the trinity,
which is partly correct, partly wrong.
why ? you can not contradict your own scriptures,
if you build your beliefs on that scripture

You have a misunderstanding of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity does NOT divide God.
Please tell me what the doctrine states?

To Stylez: Bro it is apparent you are eager to get your point out and I do appreciate that... No, I was not being facetious, blogs and forums are for short thoughts and ideas, I simply could not follow you. I truly don't mean to offend, and if I did. I am sorry for that.... My point about being angry to a point where one could just kill a person is about "acting on a sin". That's all man... I think it was clear...
So is it fair to say that we all disagree with the topic that originally started this thread?

To Styles: I just re-read your post about thorns and such and I think that is so right on!!!
I was thinking about something regarding the Trinity... What did Jesus say when he was on the cross, didn't he speak to God his father?
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You are bearing witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true;

In a nutshell, sin is sin which is disobedience to Gods will.
