That all depends on where his heart is. Why did he say that he hated God? Is he a born again Christian? Did he repent of his statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something that can take awhile depending on what started it to begin with. I know someone who was angry at God because their fiancé was killed two weeks before their wedding. I met him in a recovery meeting, and he did repent and get right with the Lord - after drinking and drugging for over 20 years. Our God is a God of restoration as well as forgiveness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, believe on the Lord as your Savior, too. I notice you have asked this same question other times in two other topics.... ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better then stay worried ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard this metaphor before, so i'll use it. Think of it like Cinderella. A raggedy and dishevelled woman doing chore after chore for her evil and overbearing stepmother and stepsisters. She does not mop the floor out of love. She does not do their bidding out of respect... Or, the right kind of respect, at least. She does them because she feels that she must. This is to seperate between the heart and the action. Even if you do the right thing, it means nothing if the reason why you did it wasn't right. If this person said it in a moment of anger, ignorance, or misunderstanding, then it was a mistake. We have all said or done things when we're upset that are regrettable. If the person truly repents of their anger and their words, and they truly do not hate God in their heart, then it would be forgiven. However, if someone says sorry and their heart snickers in disagreement, then it would be meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer would most definitely be YES he CAN and WILL be forgiven with sincere and genuine repentance. Also he must forgive all those who he holds any unforgiveness for! God knows we are children and we are not perfect, we often say things we do not mean. The best way to say you are sorry is to show it. If this man were to ask for Gods forgiveness with a sincere heart, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into his life and be his Lord and Savior, and LIVE for God, learn obedience to God, learn what is right in Gods eyes and repent of what is not right, he will most assuredly be forgiven his sins. Romans 3:23-26 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Acts 3:19 New King James Version (NKJV) 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Matthew 12:31 New King James Version (NKJV) The Unpardonable Sin 31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Matthew 6:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV) 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
