BUT, you still have time to be forgiven. When you commit suicide, you commit blasphemy, and even in your statement that blasphemy is "Unforgivable", now tell me how a dead person is going to repent to get back in God's grace? They can't!!! Now, that is my belief. Ref: John 3:3

Your definitions and mine are obviously different on blasphemy.
And just because you were taught it in a church, doesn't make it true.
If everything taught in church were true, we wouldn't have various numbers of differing religions.
I do understand what you are saying though -- but it still didn't make it right or wrong -- just believed by you. This is why I say everyone needs to read and study and pray for themselves because shephards will lead their flocks astray. IMO, Jesus is the only intermediary that we need.
