is there something you can do that god will not forgive you for doing?

There is only one sin that God will never forgive you for and that is blaspheming the holy spirit. Holy spirit reveals the truth of God's word and once you know the truth, God will not forgive you if you intentionally lie to someone else about it. Any other sin can be forgiven but if a person sins any sin over and over again, God eventually gets to the point that he won't forgive that either. And, of course, God always knows if you are truly repentant as well.

There will come a time, very near the end, when God will decide to totally withdraw his spirit from the earth, and leave all those who remain to deal with things, on their own.
Right up until that time, the Holy Spirit will be inspiring people to take advantage of their last and final opportunity to repent, and be forgiven of their sins.
Anyone who rejects that opportunity will have committed the unforgiveable sin, as afterwards, repentance and forgiveness will no longer be possible.
That's why it's important to stay right with the Lord at all times, because you never know when you might find yourself dead, and standing in front of him, or when he might decide to come back, and wrap this whole thing up.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Yes...it's called blasphemy. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin!

Trying to overthrow him. Supposedly thats why Lucifer is Satan.
Just think though. If you attempted to overthrow God and succeded, you would become God or equivalent to a demi-God.
Edit: I just realized something. This sounds a lot like the Church. lol

Some divisions of Christianity says that suicide, not martyrdom, is unforgivable.

Well depends on what sub division of christianity you are talking about, I think if you are born again, you can pretty much do anything then confess your sin and you are free and clear
