Nothing is certain, in a moment of weakness, you *could* do something you may regret `till the end of your days, and maybe beyond... never think for one moment you are completly safe. Sin is always there... The way I understand my religious instructors in the Catholic church, there is no such thing as an unforgivable sin. In the light of Divine grace, a truely repentent person may be forgiven for any transgression. The key here is that only God knows if the person is truly repentent.

If I remember correctly; theres a reference in the bible somewhere that goes something like this... 'may speak out agaisnt the son of man, even the father, but let no one speak out against the holy spirit, for that is unforgivable' it went SOMETHING like that, I know that isnt the corret wording, but thats the gist of it...[/QUOTE]I beleive the Bible says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is not forgivable. Exactly what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is I don't know for sure.
