madeline, It's really easy to focus on the good and ignore the bad. The truth is the Bible contains both positive and negative things and if I am going to analyze the Bible and it's contents, I need to be fair and take all of what it says into account, not just what makes me feel good.
The truth is, it does say something I might or might not have done, is unforgivable.
I can ignore it. I can plug my ears, take select verses and ideas out of the Bible, and "create my own personal version of the Bible and Jesus," as so many others do, but that would not be honest. What will make me happy is knowing the truth. Not just adopting a belief system that gets me by. The truth, in it's entirety is the only thing that can calm my worries.
I'm trying to figure out, is "Mark 3:28-29" the truth? Am I guilty of this?
