I have worked in university that is for profit. The way they get income is from international students paying more for education.Private hospitals are for profit. The rich are willing to pay more for unnecesary cosmetic surgeries. I dont know about orphanages I dont personally know any. I have heard some bad things about some though especially fostering with abuse that goes on. Some of them have high cases of sexual abuse and the children can even bully each other.

According to the AHA, about 18 percent of U.S. hospitals are private, for-profit hospitals, while 23 percent are owned by state and local governments. The rest are private, nonprofit facilities. Non-Profits do get higher satisfaction marks than for profit entities.

You can mock Jesus but you can't mock the holy spirit. The holy spirit is life itself, if you do that you have a death spirit in you or demon. Thats why Jesus said blaspheming the holy spirit is unforgiveable.

It sounds like it is more than just light chatter though.
It needs an evil spirit behind the words said, or thought.

yes like with evil intent. Thats why I said a spirit or demon of death...wants to kill life.

If someone dies in their sin, they can't really be forgiven.

That applies to you. You don't apply it to things you don't know about.

That applies to you, what applies to you. Everything in the bible applies to everyone. Nobody is exempt from the wages of sin.

We all die. Some die sooner or later the improant thing is we are forgiven and believe, if we believe in Jesus even though we die, we live.

If we die without believing we can no longer be forgiven.

Some people have decided they will not believe ever. This hurts the holy spirit because he cannot be present in an unbeliever. Gifts are not given to the unbelieving...they cannot be opened or used by the unbelieving.

I think lack of faith grieves the holy spirit as well.

jesus upbraided the disciples for not believing he would come back. He was more concerned about that than anything else, like her didnt care if Peter wasnt wearing the right clothes or being outspoken or minor stuff like that.

I think what grieves the Holy Spirit is ignoring the Holy Spirits guidance and direction especially by committing sins over and over again which you have already been convicted about or committing very serious sins which all Christians know they shouldn't do.

What actions grieve the holy spirit? What do you do when this happens? Esp if its other people around you.

The bible say "he who loves me will keep my commandments" also "take my yoke upon you for I am gentle and lowely in heart and you will find rest for your souls".

God is not a strict master, but rather can sympathize with our weaknesses. He draws us to obedience, but does not hate us in the process.

Who is God? Love, joy, peace, gentleness, faithfulness, ect, people who hate, make peoples lives miserable, act with aggression, these things God hates.

Pro 6:16 There are seven things that the LORD hates and cannot tolerate: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up wicked plans, feet that hurry off to do evil, a witness who tells one lie after another, and someone who stirs up trouble among friends.

Divisive, hurtful, actions ....

Shunning others treating ppl like they are animals in a zoo not believing the best in others not forgiving others for past mistakes that God has already forgiven & forgotten trying to dig up dirt that doesn't exist and if did what's it to you? you don't care to be my friend but still wanna meddle and control and point fingers and have plan of treatment and tell me I'm going to hell and I'm not saved-- really?! accusing others of being witches and jezebels all the while hacked into others computers illegally stalking them and claiming you are a Christian but have wife and kids all the while talking to women who have pics posted online laying on pillow in bed seductively and have cleavage showing look like inappropriate content stars calling a sister damaged goods and telling her she's ugly talking to others but no you are not good enough for us to include in our group following a person who's been severely abused and tortured for years and knowing it all over internet from site to site having all your precious art work deleted by them and have no control but their stuff remains getting no apology for tremendous wrongs done<---that kinda stuff I'd say grieves the Holy Spirit much.

Uh..ok. Dont know who you talkng about but Yes that grieves the holy spirit.

Its best to keep away from those people who do that and God will avenge them.

I was reminded of John the baptist who was full of the holy spirit, and what ticked him off was King Herod sleeping around. He only pointed out king Herods sin but Herod got him beheaded or rather salome did.

That would have been a shock to Jesus when his cousin got killed and grieved him very much. He was so angry because the Pharisees who had the ear of the King did nothing to stop it, maybe they were in on it too. They certainly got a lot of Gods prophets killed.

Because Jesus had emotions just like us. Also he wept when Lazarus died.
But that was also because nobody believed Him.
I don't wonder nor doubt HIS emotions.
Just nothing ever caught HIM by surprise; even the devil[whatever; as HE called him] HE picked as a disciple.
