Matthew 5:28
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
By this we are all guilty of adultery...
I think if you are a Christian and you are saved and you have repented, then He has forgiven you. I believe you are not punished by God for this sin as He has forgiven and forgotten it. I do believe that we have a tendency to punish ourselves for the mistakes we make in life. I think this may be why you feel like there is a disconnection between God and yourself. We end up constantly bringing it up in our mind and rehashing what has already been forgiven. We should not dwell on our sin, we should repent and move on because God has moved on. We should let it go and do better. Quit punishing yourself and keep in the Word so you can continue to strengthen in your faith. Reconnect with God...He loves you more than you could even possibly fathom. God Bless.

Let's see there are soooo many things wrong with your question. For starters, in heaven you will no longer have your current physical desires. You will have a new body and will not have an appetite for sex. Also there are no marriages in heaven. So, it would be impossible to commit adultery, even if you wanted to... which you wouldn't because as I said earlier, you do not have those desires in Heaven. Please read the Bible so you can truly learn about God and Heaven. God bless!

Remember the woman who had been found committing adultery, and they took her to Jesus, they asked Him what should they do with her, the law said that she should be stoned to death, but they asked Him this to see what He would say, but Jesus just sat there writing something on the ground, and then He said he that is without sin cast the first stone, and one by one they all walked away, and when she stood alone, Jesus said to her where are your accusers, does no one condemn you? And she said to Him no one my Lord, and Jesus said to her niether do I condemn you, go and sin no more. Jesus didn't condemn her, and He doesn't condemn you either, If you have truly repented of this sin then you have been forgiven, God has promised that if we are faithful and just to confess our sins, then He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. You must now forgive yourself,the guilt that you feel could be making you feel cut off from God, and move on with God, He hasn't forgotten you, because He loves you with an everlasting love, and knows you by name. God doesn't punish us for the wrong things we do, but we can bring consequences on ourselves by the things that we do, and the choices that we make, but take heart for we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, give Him your all, make Him the reason you are living, serve Him with all your heart, commit yourself to Him, and the peace of God will fill your heart. I' m sure that there's a place in heaven for you too.

if you are saved and you asked forgiveness - you will till go to Heaven. Let me tell you a secret - you have to forgive yourself too. That is big - if you think you are unworthy of God's forgiveness and you feel like he hasn't forgiven you - then that is simply because you have not forgiven yourself. Are you married, or is he? If so, maybe you need to clear your conscience. I wouldn't worry though. Just know God forgives and he does love you and you will still get into Heaven. Live your life for him and talk to him and forgive yourself and you will see that he has never forsaken you and never left your side - you only think he has because you have guilt and can;t hear him when he talks.

I don't recall that we don't go to heaven for doing adultery. However, if we don't repent or repent but continue sinning what good has come from it?
All things are lessons to learn. You feel sorry in your heart for what you have done and indeed it is your heart that you should purify. If your heart was pure enough you wouldn't sin. Don't bash yourself for falling but purify yourself.
Heaven is not a place we go to after we die nor is hell. It is a state of consciousness that we experience in the now. Purify yourself and raise your consciousness that you may no longer sin. If you do, dust it off from you and try to learn the lesson from it.
Read Matthew Chapter 5 again and meditate upon them.

You are punishing yourself. You know you were wrong, you have repented, have you done it after this again?
If you truly repented, then no you have not. God is not blocking you from HIm. Your guilt is the block. Go to God, ask His forgiveness, believe you have it, and don't worry anymore about it. He is still right there and as soon as you have enough faith to believe He has forgiven you , you will hear Him again.
It is you who are blocking the transmission. Just do as He says and give it to Him and walk on. You are stopped because of guilt when you have no reason to be.

Sounds like you already know what kind of answer
you would find believable. But you're hoping that
someone might be able to convince you of
something that you're really not ready to believe.
I would like to tell you that you'll be okay, but I can't
think of reasons to make that sound credible.
So I guess you'll just have to stay on the bus
you're already on, and it will take you where it will.
Sorry I couldn't keep you from going there. ;-)

I am not going to judge you, you have confessed your sin before man and God. God has forgiven you. In 1 John 1:9, 9, John provides all the assurance that we are forgiven if we confess. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." God has forgiven your sin after you have confessed. God doesn't even remember your sin any more. But who hasn't forgiven your sin is yourself. It is your turn now to forgive yourself and forget completely that you have ever sinned before. Forgive yourself and never mention it again, The blood of Christ is capable to forgive sins greater than yours, just don't let the devil keep accusing you of your Old sins. If the devil remind you of your sins, remind him of his future. He will run away. Paul wrote about how saved believers are treated when they go to Heaven. He says in1 Corinthians 3: 10-14, 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames." God doesn't remember your sin and you are saved. I admire you for your great sensitivity to sin; this shows your love to Christ. God bless you sister. We are saved not by the good work we do, we are saved by the great work He did for us on the cross.

You sound truly repentent Remember the prostitute. She was a lot more what ever than you could ever be. She was not only forgiven but promised eternal life.
Modern women today do that all the time and never give it a second thought. You sound like you have a conscience.
