Bible Question:
Please, I want to know if I was a believer when a teenager, and over the years became a unbeliever, and now believes again, can I come home again? Had been a Catholic, met Jesus on retreat as teenager, over years became convinced that all religion wasn't real. Would argue with believers that Jesus was no more than a myth. Now have come to be convinced that Jesus is the Christ. Would like to be forgiven, but concerned about the references in Heb 6:4-8 and Heb 10 about not being able to come back. Is that true? If people actually did commit this unpardonable sin, do they spend the rest of their lives regretting it, only to be filled with a " fearful expectation of judgement? I'm desperate for an answer. Please help. If this isn't the place to ask such questions, I'm sorry. |
Bible Answer: Encouragement ...................................... Welcome to the forum GJH, I understand your concerns regarding the loss of salvation. I too, rejected Christ's forgiveness at one point in my life, after I had already been a Christian for many years. I shared some of these concerns on this forum in the past, and received a very good answer from Tim Moran. I would encourage you to read that thread. Just do a quick search (top right) for the number 25332. God bless! |
