Im atheist and i recently heard something in a video and im completely confused by it.
It said that if you deny the holy spirit you will burn in hell for eternity. It said to be the unforgivable sin.
Now this is what confuses me. Here are my questions:
1) What is the holy Spirit?
2)if didnt believe in the holy spirit, Why would i have to suffer?
3) Why would i have to be sent to hell if i didnt believe in 1 thing but was good my whole life?
4)Where is hell? The universe is just space and planets.
It all doesnt make sense to me.
Please try to answer all my questions. thanks.

you say the holy spirit is a person, why do i need to posses him? for what reason?

1) The Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person in the trinity....He indwells all believers at the point of salvation
2) You need to posses Him...not just merely believe
3) No one is good...we are ALL born in sin
4) I don't know....but I do know that it is a real place
I hope & pray that you will take this seriously......as I am being 100% sincere in my answers.
May God bless you....

It's the unseen entity of God that you feel or your good conscience that leads you to do right...anything else is the devil telling you to do wrong...
If you don't believe in the holy spirit then you don't believe in God...why would this bother you when you're an athiest?
As a christian I believe in hell and heaven...you don't think hot as the weather is outside there's no HELL....you keep on believing the universe and space and planets...but then maybe it's the Holy Spirit pushing you to find your spiritual soul.. what happens to that when you die?

The Kabbalah says that The Holy Spirit is the Archangel of our dimension. A Feminine being, as the Feminine is the aspect of the Lifeforce that brings the spiritual energy that keeps us all alive, from God to us. Sooooo, rejecting the Holy Spirit is basically cutting ones own throat!

If you don't get an answer that satisfies you about 1,2,3 ask me.
4. Hell as a place of torment does not exist! Those who believe it simply do not apply logic to the body of scriptures regarding the subject.
In the scripture below, even the wicked are at rest. And this kind of proof abounds.

Matthew 12:30-32 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

[NIV at IBS] [International Bible Society] [NIV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]
30"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Yes it is true. The holy spirit is basically gods force. According to the bible it is in essence what God uses to act on earth. Curse it and yes you are cursing gods power and blaspheming it is speaking against the highest power. So god doe not forgive you. Simple as that.
