re: #55 pre-Boomer Marine brat
I can’t find it here … isn’t there a passage where Jesus is asked if there is an unforgiveable sin? IIRC, he replies (something like) leading God’s Children astray.
Right, wrong, or confused … ?

“And whoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” — Jesus Christ, Mark 9:42
Matthew 18:6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Things mentioned twice have added emphasis in scripture.
