    "If someone is deliberately slandering the church because they disagree with it and want to turn people against it, despite actually knowing it's good, then that's the unforgivable sin." The unforgivable sin involves the Holy Spirit but some churches get caught up in it by teaching their...

    I really need some help

    prayer

    These two problems "Despite prayer to God, I'm still angry with him and I still don't trust him" are spiritual "fatal flaws".God requires us to have total trust and faith in Him and my experience has been that He refuses to respond to people who are angry at Him.
