What would you say is the worst sin of all?

I would name corruption as the worst sin. Not corruption as in taking bribes, corruption as in turning a good person into an evil person, in causing another to do wrong. Corruption is essentially when evil self-replicates, and therefore one person can cause more evil than they could personally do.

The worst is the sin that God will not grant repentance for.

I know what you are talking about. But here is an argument:

An unrepented sinner die.
A rebelled repented sinner also die.

Why is the latter one worse than the first one?

To my understanding, it is an action that goes against a law decreed by God. If there is no God, there is no sin.

Suppose we take the word sin out of the dictionary, would we miss something which is undesirable, but is not a crime? What would you call it?

Could you restate the argument a bit more clearly? Thanks. :)

Except there would be the obvious qualification you left out that you have to have been exposed to the gospel, when there are people that would not be considered to have sinned if they were isolated enough that they had never heard of Jesus and thus had no option to trust or not trust.

Your right to an extent, but the point is: those who have heard and refuse to trust in Him commit the worst sin.

I thought the worst sin was attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Diabolos, lol. Seems worse than simply choosing to use your "God-given reason" and coming up with a different conclusion that doesn't involve God, but also doesn't involve believing in and worshipping the devil and associating the Holy Spirit with it, right?
