Adultery
 
Q If someone comits adultery will they go to hell? And if a baby is conceived from that relationship... is the baby damned too?

Dear Worried:

There is NO sin that God won't forgive, if we are willing to turn to Him and ask His forgiveness.  Adultery is no exception.  As for the second part of your question, only the person who commits the sin can be held responsible for it.  The child can never bear the guilt of the parent.  That would be quite unjust!  The bottom line is that with the incredible mercy of our God we have nothing about which to be worried; we simply need to seek the forgiveness He is so anxious to extend to us.
