Answer 2

Psalm 127:3 says, "Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah;
The fruitage of the belly is a reward." You have a gift from Jehovah God, a beautiful daughter. There is no need to live in such fear as you stated. I will get into the specifics later...

As soon as we came out of our mother's womb's, we lived in sin. There is nothing we can do about that. Now, going to Hell, that is another issue. Many people have a bad connotation of Hell. They have been told false doctrines that all bad people will go to Hell and burn in eternal torment, while the "good" people will be in Heaven with God. There will only be a certain number of spirit-annointed ones in Heaven (See Revelation 14:1-4)

In reality, Hell is just another way of saying "mankind's common grave." Other synonyms for "hell" is "Sheol & Hades," both referring to mankind's common grave, which is where everyone goes where they die. Of course, this is a figurative place. However, those in hell, or sheol, or hades have the resurrection hope (See John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15). Those who have died are in Sheol and are sleeping in death, "not conscious of nothing at all." (See Ecclesiastes 9:5)

There is another term that is not commonly used called "Ghenna," which is an place where people go who have no hope of a resurrection because of the severity of their sins (ex. Adam and Eve, Judas Iscariot just to name a couple). This place is eternal destruction.

The key to life is following Bible principles, getting to know the true God and his Son Christ Jesus (who you already know) and to live in harmony with those laws and standards. Standards that include vital it is for "children to be obedient to their parents" (Ephesians 6:1-3), being a submissive and capable wife as well as having a quiet and mild spirit and deep respect for their husbands (1Peter 3:1, 2, 4), being a husband who loves his own wife as his own body and forgiving his wife (Ephesians 5:23, 25-29; Matthew 6:12, 14, 15) and how to be good parents (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), which includes investing large amounts of time with your children, and presiding over the household in a fine manner as husbands (1Timothy 3:4,5; 5:8)

Why would a loving God (1 John 4:8) let you live in such fear regarding going to hell for your sins? Applying such counsel as above is the key to family happiness. Yes, your daughter is a gift, cherish her, love her, discipline her.

Take Care,

Answer 3

You did not state whether you were saved before entering this relationship or after. I am baffled by someone who says they are saved and love Jesus, yet continue to live in sin. I know it is a sticky situation, but being a follower of Christ requires tough choices. Have you discussed marriage with your bf? If he refuses, what are his reasons? Fear of commitment? I am not about to tell you what to do since I am not qualified to do so, but you must do some serious soul searching as to whom you are trying to please. If you are truly saved, this sin will not condemn you, but at the same time, continuing in sin breaks that fellowship with God. I think some prayer and perhaps pastoral counseling is in order.

Answer 4

There are so many different opinions on this. My personal one is that a loving God is not going to send a good, kind person to Hell to suffer for all eternity.

Some people argue that you might not go to Hell just because you're living with someone "in sin", but that you might because you BELIEVE it's a sin and you're making the decision to do it anyway.

Some people would argue that you're going to go to Hell simply because you're living with someone, and it doesn't matter what YOU believe.

I think you just need to do what you know in your heart to be right. You have a daughter with your boyfriend. It seems to me that it's a good thing you guys are together. If it would make you feel better, maybe you should consider getting married.

Answer 5

This is a tough issue to know the answer to completely. However, I do have some suggestions for you. Confess your sin to God. He knows what you have been doing and is willing to forgive you. If you confess your sin and repent, then God has promised forgiveness. Whether or not we go to hell isn't based on the mistakes we make. If it was, then every living person would be going straight there. Instead, hell is only reserved for those who blindly choose to blatantly disobey God and are not sorry for their sins. So, if you admit that you are a sinner and you confess and repent of the specific sins you have committed, then God is more than willing to forgive you. In addition, "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This is a direct promise from Scripture. Believe it - because Scripture is true!

Answer 6

If you are afraid of going to hell, the why are you still living in sin? Have you truly accepted Jesus is a question that needs to be asked?
If you have, you should know that you need to stop.

Answer 7

Let's see what the Bible has to say about it, okay?

John 8:11
She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."

1 John 1:7-10
but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. [8] If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

1 John 5:2-5
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. [3] For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. [4] For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. [5] Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

So, going to Hell? I would hesitate to say that, but I say as loudly as I can what the Bible tells you: quit sinning. Either marry the man, or get out of the relationship. Marry him and follow what you know to be right; get youself and your child into a loving church that will help and support you. OR; get out, you know what you are doing is wrong, or you would not ask the question as you have. Your relationship with him is leading you into other sins that you do not want to be involved with. If your man wont marry you, get out, leave him, stop sinning.

It's not too late for you to do this. God's grace has not been exhausted, and he loves you so much that he sent His son to die for your sins, but you know that already. You now need to turn your attention to keeping His commandments, which are fences set for your protection. You appear to have "jumped the fence."
John 15:10
"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

Answer 8

Short answer: If you have SINCERELY accepted Christ as your savior, then no you will not go to hell because all of your sins have been forgiven, past present and future.

Long answer: If you have SINCERELY accepted Christ as your savior, then there would be fruit in your life. You would want to serve Him, you would want to obey Him. It sounds like you know what the right thing to do is, but you just don't want to do it.

Do it.

Answer 9

So you had a baby before getting married and had pre-marital sex. Honey-no sin is bigger than another.
You do need to repent and ask for forgiveness and stop sinning and get married.
He will forgive you-He died for this very reason.
Please don't look down on yourself for this!
God bless you!

Answer 10

Believing in Jesus isn't enough. You need to love Jesus and "marry" him. You must stop living in sin w/ your boyfriend. If you conscience is bothering you, then for sure stop. You must come to know Christ as your Saviour, then he will forgive your sins as well.
