Hello everyone.

Lately I've come out of a very dark period that lasted about 6 months. During that time I was very angry with God due to a lot of harsh things that had happened in my life. For instance, my mother went through multiple miscarriages, Alfie Evans was killed unfairly, and other more personal things.
While I was in this period I cursed God, and all but walked away altogether. I thank the Lord that I didn't curse the Holy Spirit It/Himself, which is a huge no-no and can't be recovered from. But after all that, I've come back and have repented, and want to start anew.
Am I "good"? Have I crossed the line per Hebrews 6?
Anybody who replies, please please please support what you say with scripture! I need something concrete, not opinion.

Edit: I'm not convinced I was saved prior to this. My life was generally outward only and I had little spiritual growth until more recently.

God always forgives the repentant, and so also he instructs us, "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him." Luke 17:3 God does the same thing.

Concerning Heb 6 it's talking about those who refuse to repent. Those who apostasy from the faith in the sense spoken of there will never repent of their decision. It's impossible for them to do so. So when people ask about whether they've committed such a sin and yet want to repent, I can confidently say that they had not committed such a sin, for if they had, they wouldn't be asking the question.

Usually, but it can be rescinded if you refuse to forgive others, too, per Jesus [in Matthew 18:21-35].

If you did not believe you were saved prior to this, then you never really had the faith and or you never really born again spiritually by God. One needs to seek forgiveness with the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in His death and resurrection to officially be born again and to have the faith. Seeing in my view, you never had the faith (prior to your repentance), you did not commit apostasy. Granted, speaking bad words against the Holy Ghost can never be forgiven. So it is good you did not do that. Generally cursing God does not really count - IMO. Nowhere does God's Word say that is unforgivable.

I hope this helps;
And may God bless you.

I think that God makes it pretty clear: Matthew 3:8 & Luke 3:8 says: "Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance" We know a tree that does not produce fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Galatians 5: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control". Also we are told: "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
