the idea of Christianity is false, because you remain a sinner if after you ask for forgiveness, because you do not know if you were forgiven, Jesus may choose not to forgive you, because no matter how much you grow in the sprite you still sin, every day every minute, you are just a sinner that hopes Jesus will forgive you
You may say I know, but that in its self is a lie, see you are just a sinner

How do you know Christianity isn't impossible?
God lay down a set of rules for all the ages and all the people of all the races in the world. This set of rules is called The Ten Commandments. If you disobey these rules, you have to ask God for forgiveness. God died so we would be forgiven of all our sins.
Christianity is souly based off of the Bible. Scientists have proven certain things in the Bible to be true like the lapse in time. If you're interested in it, you can look into it and discover more about it.
All people are sinners. If you believe the Bible and you are truly asking God for forgiveness, based on the Bible, you will be forgiven of all your sins up to that point in time. People will always be sinners. God is "perfection" and God made us in his image. If you have faith in God and truly believe in his existence, the word of the Bible including the New Testament and the Old Testament, and ask for forgiveness, you are a Christian.
You don't hope Jesus will forgive you. You pray and ask for forgiveness and if you truly are asking for forgiveness and truly believe in him, according to the Bible, you will be forgiven.

We have a promise from God that if we ask for forgiveness in sincerity then it will be given.
As Christians, we recognize your assertion as a tool of the devil. We often are tempted by the devil to believe that we aren't truly forgiven, but this is a lie.
I am a sinner that hopes Jesus will forgive me. But I also have faith in the knowledge that He will forgive me.
You say that I lie when I say that I know He forgives. Again, you are a slave to your sin. It commands you to see that it may never be removed. It whispers to you that those who have faith that Jesus always keeps His promise to us are fools for thinking they can be forgiven when you sit bound to your sin.
I am not lying at all when I say that I know God forgives no matter what. You may disagree and say that this is not factual. But do not accuse me of lying. You know not Christianity and conduct your own orchestra of common nonsense into the unshakable heart of the Christian.
You may always trust in God for His mercy. When you believe that you will see that sin is not freedom, but the ability to not sin through grace and to be forgiven are true freedom. I will pray for that for you. Know that.

Yes, but all your sin is washed away. Whatever you do, it's forgiven- no exceptions. You don't have to "hope" that Jesus will forgive you- He already did, and does, and will! For every sin you ever committed in the past, and even for the ones you'll commit in the future. All that is over and done with, and we're made as pure as snow. Thats exactly what He said.

the bible says that when you ask for forgiveness you are forgiven. As many times as you sin, you will be forgiven. No matter what. The goal is to be free from sin, and you do that by simply not doing the things that god considers a sin, but in the mean time, he forgives you as you makes mistakes.

True we are all sinners but if one ask for forgiveness with a sincere heart and tears that person is beyond any doubt forgiven, then we must do what is very hard to do that is forgive ourselfs and do that sin no more.

Jesus DOES forgive, so we arent hoping...he does. And I am a sinner yes...but that is why Jesus died for me, because God still wanted all of us to get a chance to go to heaven, so when you ask the Lord into your heart....and you ask repentance for when you sin....you are forgiven. I have all my faith in that!

TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN
It's a process over time, it's not going to happen overnight. But there are steps to take. First pray and ask the Father into your heart (mind) and life. Ask for change of you. Ask for guidance and direction. Ask for forgiveness of your sins. Do all this in Jesus name (authority).
Come to the reality that as long as you dwell in the flesh body you are going to fall short. All are sinners. Repentance is a change of mind not a license to sin. Perfection is maturity or full age in His Word. We are to produce fruit and glorify Christ.
His Word is an life learning process. Trust this man or no man unless you check it out in His Word. I've been at it earnestly for 16 years. I'm producing fruit but feel I'm still in the process. Don’t clean house (clean up your act) without filling that void with the Word of God.
Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
By the way, born again means born from above, check it out.

Mainworry, said it best! It's easy for you say this because you never process the lifestyle of being a true Christian and all the others who agree with you. Its a copy out for you and non-believers because you want to continue in sin! People don't sin daily especially when they live according to God's word. Sin is corruption. Our bodies die daily. Living in sin daily sends you to your GRAVE faster and reaping eternal damnation which will not come until judgment day. We know we have been forgiven by God's manifestation of his Holy presence which is his peace. By Being Born again, our hearts are changed. Our minds keeps us from sin and sinning Which is called Sanctification. Yes, we are sinners for our righteousness is filfthy rags but God's grace is sufficient and we are saved by his grace. WE are perfecting ourselves daily separating from sin and the powers of evil principalities. Too bad for you though!

The deal is we are all sinners that is true.. but Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. that whoever shall believe in HIm shall have everlasting life in eternity. We do sin.. but we reprnt and not do that sin again.. move on pray repent and move on.. striving for a life as close as a Christlike life as we can.. then come judgement day God will say you done good and Bam you are sitting there next to Him awaiting the time when the believers and saved start our new kingdom.. a perfect world.. we are then sin free.. when we are judged and He fulfills His Promise that all that believe and trust shall have everlasting life.

Yes, we continually sin because it is our sad nature. We know we are forgiven because Jesus promised to forgive and since He has no sin, He is incapable of lying.
