Need help answering this question regarding mortal sin/Hell

[thirsty4uolord]

Forgive Me .I misunderstood your interest.

Let me answer this way Christ himself our Lord and salvation did say words such has these not for our appreciation but rather for our salvation. Try these words: St.Matthew 13-19 “When anyone heareth the word of the Kingdom, and understandeth it not,then cometh the wicked one , and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. this is he which received seed by the wayside.”

Of most interest in regard to your question try these words from our Lord, St.Matthew 12-31 " Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto man: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

I hope I answered you correctly this time .I’am not a know it all , but I try to learn has much has I can for I do so much love our Lord and I pray for his guidence first when ever I speak about him toward others .
With Love Bless You

JCPhoenix:

I appreciate the words of Christ, however, my friend’s question has nothing to do with the words of Christ but his misunderstanding of a historical event and our designation of mortal/venial sins and what happend to the people he believes were unjustly condemned to Hell by church officials. (or some such misunderstanding).

I’m still trying to figure out what he was really getting at and how to best answer him and get to the bottom of it. The problem lies in whatever misinformation he was given at the time.

Answers are never really as easy as they might seem on the surface, are they? We all have our questions, and reservations, and sometimes they are so hard to put aside!

I hope I can get through his “wall” with all the info you wonderful people have so kindly posted in spite of my incoherent post!

God Bless!
