I thought of this when I read Delandus' last post in his thread re losing God's Holy Spirit. Delandus, if you're reading this, I hope you find this as uplifting as I did. (Gonna go have another read, thanks to you!) :)

Dear Kevin:
Thank you for your email and comments. Part of the reason you feel so bad about your sinful condition is because of the false teachings you undoubtedly received as a youngster.
The Bible speaks of the "foolishness of youth," so it should not be surprising that as youths we all have done stupid and foolish things--God expects it. However, when God reveals Truth to us, those feelings of guilt are designed to TURN US AROUND and go a different direction. A guilty conscience is one of the worst things we can carry around with us.
Many people speak of the "UNpardonable sin" as thought the Scriptures actually spoke of such a thing. They DO NOT! There is no such thing as an "unpardonable sin" in the Bible.
Well, then, what about Matt. 12:-31-32? Let's read it in a proper translation:
"Therefore I am saying to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be pardoned men, yet the blasphemy of the spirit shall not be pardoned."
It certainly SOUNDS like the blasphemy of God's spirit is an unpardonable sin, doesn't it? Let's continue reading:
"And whosoever may be saying a word against the Son of Man, it will be pardoned him, yet whoever may be saying against the holy spirit, it shall not be pardoned him, [ever? continue reading...] neither in THIS EON [age] nor in that [age] which is IMPENDING."
