And be sorry for that too, that is , if all sin is the same in the eyes of God...
as a matter of fact, if I'm going to be damned, and I 'might' be sorry later on (probably will), what should be my motivation to do anything good at all?
Why shouldn't I go out and screw every guy I meet and have ten abortions! Because if what your saying is true, God sees that as exactly the same as when I shoplifted!
So, I guess that means it's a green light to fornicate and kill like crazy since I curse all the time, why not just be sorry for bigger and multiple offenses!

You can live your life however you see fit.
However, in Christian teaching, you can only be saved by faith and true faith is only made alive by loving action. Faith isn't belief. Faith means you are living in good faith to the covenant.
Say I accidentally step on your toe, ask for your forgiveness, and you grant it. Does that thereby give me permission to do lots of other mean or injurious things to you? No. Because the forgiveness was the response to my being sorry. If you are planning to go out and commit lots and lots of sins and then just mouthing hollow words, that's called hypocrisy. If you are a hypocrite, then the forgiveness is not given. There is no human condition Jesus was harsher about than hypocrisy. In legalistic terms: You won't be cast into Hell for adultery or abortion or murder; you will be cast into Hell for hypocrisy--that's the unforgivable sin.

Ahhhh, you are learning. Now its time to understand the true concept of all is allowed, but not all is convienient (good) for us.
Just because Jesus paid the price of our sin, does not give free license to go out and do as your self will pleases.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, you will know that these things are wrong. Now the hard part.
God knows your heart, and if you do something you know is wrong in your heart, you have just knowingly and defiantly disobeyed God. Are you at this point still defiant, or is your heart heavy and burdoned? This is the question you and only you can answer and its vitally important. One means that you still have not accepted the free gift of salvation and the other means that you have.
The I will be sorry later excuse is really just an excuse to accept the free gift later. Unfortunately, we never know when later might not come.

You are one mixed up little lady. Who's fault was it you fornicated? Certainly not the babies. Why should it have to die for something you did. And besides, God will forgive the fornication if you ask for it. Remember what He told the adultress who the people were going to stone. He told them whoever among them had no sin to cast the first stone. No one did, and He told the woman: Go, and sin no more.

LOL, right on!
I used to pray for a Bicycle but someone told me God doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
