Is hell in the bible?  What if I quit church?   Didn't Jesus die on the cross to save everyone?  Do I have free  will? Is God mad at the world? Where's God? I don't understand the Bible! Am I going to burn in hell if I sin? Is there a heaven

? My pastor says I have to be baptized.  Where is my dead mother?  Is Satan real?  Does God really care  if I love  Him? Is there a hell?  Why is there so much evil in the world? Isn't God in control?

   This Week's Q&A:

Q:  What about the unforgiv- able sin against the Holy Ghost? It seems contradictory that Jesus died for all the sin of mankind bar one. Are you able to shed some light on this?

A:
The so-called unforgivable sin is blaspheming the holy spirit. Jesus said that the sin of blaspheming the Son would be forgiven (and it was, from the cross), but if the spirit was blasphemed (that is, rejected), then there would be no forgiveness for that "neither in this eon, nor in that which is impending" (Concordant Version.) Simply put, the testimony of the spirit at Pentecost was the "last chance" that Israel had to accept Messiah. If they blew that (and they did), then they would be out of the 1000 yr. Kingdom. This would not preclude, of course, their being saved later.

No one can even commit this sin today. It was a specific sin for a specific people at a specific time.

I am a spiritual seeker, just like you. I have sampled the religious institutions of men and found them unable to contain the greatness of God. All my life, I have had deep questions about God and my relationship to Him: Why am I here? Why is there so much evil in the world? Is the universe coming to an end? What will happen to my unbelieving loved ones after they die? How important is it to attend a church? I didn’t find answers in church. In fact, most of the churches I attended or visited didn't even want to hear the questions.

Here may be the deal in a nutshell: "I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, I just don't belong to the fan club that claims to own the franchise on Him."
