No, the other way around.So before the rejection we have the blaspheme of slander which has no forgiveness.
The best way to not slander the Spirit is to not slander anything at all.
I agree.
I was trying to find a use for anger but i'm starting to believe that saint seraphim was right in saying we ought not have it. I know it had to some measure helped me in my past but it seems to be an inferior spirit compared to what God freely offers to us. now I have a very great problem in myself with the parts of me that are critical over people for no good reason and the parts of me that feel various other evils to people of which they are almost automatic things that poke at me, so now comes the process of hopefully melting away the evils in me by various spiritual practices. but it is better to see a devil in you than to be unaware of it. i'm starting to see better why God does not lie this or that way of being, they are plain tormenting and disgusting, otherwise God would love it, if it was beautiful.
It is a nasty spirit that invades people and leaves them bitter, gloomy, and hard to get along with.I agree.

in time I hope that the tares will be gone, but thanks be to God that I can at least to some measure understand what is good and what is not. now to never be torn by such, if I may keep my sanity...

Words spoken are like percussion, long before you hear them, the percussion hits. Often that is why you know what they are going to say. You can "see" it coming.
righteous anger... to hate evil and depart from it. but woe to those who love to hate evil and forget to love God. quickly you shall turn into what you hate when you make that what you are about. i know that the Lord craves free love and innocence, I wish we could be so innocent to die for him without any evils grabbing hold of us.
Sorry, but nobody will slander that which that person does not reject.So before the rejection we have the blaspheme of slander which has no forgiveness.
