Because that's what the Bible says.
So one could indeed say that God forgives all sins, except one. (See verse below)

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Mark 3:28-29

Maybe I should rather call it an unforgivable blasphemy or such;
But it's obviously an exception to a rule. (That God forgives all sin.)
(And exceptions to rules aren't unheard of, now are they?)
Thus: God forgives all sins, except one.


If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
Proverbs 9:12-13
