Only if such a place exists and frankly, the odds against that are astronomical.

Or turning from belief

I've looked into it further and it's yet another of those myths about xtianity. Still, makes for something to chuckle over huh.

Oh, so I am fucked but an Atheist who never believed in the holy spirit gets off on this one.....aren't we all doomed to hell? Undecided lol
If you go along with the myth then yes Zippy.

The only unforgivable sin according to the New Testament is blasphemy against the holy spirit. Essentially "blasphemy against the holy spirit" crediting a work of the holy spirit to satan. Like the opponents of Jesus did in the gospels, when they saw Jesus signs and works he did during his ministry.

Do you realize that this response differed from that in the article?

This demonstrates my biggest beef with this doctrine. It's supposed to be the big, ultimate no no in the Bible yet no one understands exactly what it is. If a big no no exists then shouldn't god (the same god who supposedly wrote the first 5 books of the Bible) kind of make it clear what exactly it is?

BTW I have been questioning doctrine for 3 decades now and the responses have always been varied.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

Well, then, the holy spirit can go fuck itself.

I had the holy spirit firing outta my ass last night ... after an evening of loud music hard drinking and greasy mexican food.

I dropped the rest of him in the porcelain bowl this morning.

Looks like you were really "moved" by the Holy Spirit.

If someone mysteriously smacks you in the face today you will see whether the "Holy Spirit" was speaking through you last night. Hee hee
