That’s not only a morally repugnant stand, it’s also unsupported by scripture.

Seems James 2:10 disagrees
10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b] also said, “You shall not murder.”[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment
and again in roman 6:23 where it says the wages for sin is death meaning the net result for any sin is the same death.
now granted all but one sin can find forgiveness, which means all but one sin are equally redeemable. but that doesn't make the unforgivable sin better or worse than the others it just means that sin has no redemption which in turn means that sinner will have pay for that sin.. but again the payment is the same whether blaspheming the HS or bearing false witness.
It is the net result of sin that makes all sin the same. it's like saying there is a 20 year sentence on all crime no matter how big or small. because the consequence is the same it give the same value to all crime. If everything results in a death sentence, then all crimes are capitol crimes
