no, all sinners are able to repent of their sins, the lord know men are weak and sinful but he is a loving God that can forgive us of our transgresions..the only unforgivible sin is suicide(how can you ask forgiveness if your already dead)..

To lust is a natural event, but one is expected to reject the thoughts that lead to lust and any persons, places or things that lead to lust, because it is also sinful against purity of heart, mind, and spirit. It can, if indulged, lead to sin of the body which is a grave sin as one is part of the body of Christ. All sins can be forgiven. If one does indulge lust by entertaining lustful thoughts, or committing lustful actions, one must repent according to the Christian denomination of origin.

Colossians 3:5 says "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed..."
God says that what we think in our hearts is just as bad as what we do with our bodies.
The first chapter of James is very plain about where such thoughts come from, (our own evil desires) where they lead (lustful thoughts) and the ultimate destruction (death) of the Christian who entertains them.
There is no sin unpardonable except grieving the Holy Spirit. However, doing what you know is wrong because you "can always ask for forgiveness afterward" is a way of grieving the Hold Spirit.
There are no loopholes. Either Christ is everything or He is nothing. He didn't invite you to skip down the Yellow Brick Road and party with Him. Christ invited you to "take up your cross daily and follow Me".

Lust is one of the 7 deadly sins......but you will not go to hell for it...everyone lusts for something everyday. You can ask for forgiveness and even if you continue to lust you will be forgiven.

No. You don't go to hell for it.
There is no where in The Bible, that you go to hell for a sin, simply by not asking forgiveness.
There is no unforgivable sin. If there is, explain Romans: to me. ALL sins are forgiven. They either ALL are, or they are not. It can't be both ways.
Good Question.

Every sin can be forgiven except blasphemy against the holy spirit.

You pose a odd question. Christian are just as vulnerable to sin as everbody else. I have yet to meet a Christian who never committed another sin since accepting Christ. Remember salvation comes from accepting Jesus as God, accepting him as your personal saviour and acknowledging that by his blood your sins are cleansed. Though we might sin, it is our responsibility to acknowledge wrongdoing and a willingness for God to changes us so as to not to commit the same sin again.

No, you will not go to Hell.
Lust is a human trait - and it is a good thing.
If a priest, clergyman or anyone tells you Lust
is a sin, then they are the sinner by telling you
a lie.
