In answer to your question: Yes. Christ said he had trouble while on earth, why should we expect no less?Okay I know you said no bible quoting but that's impossible. I know you know this but here goes anyway. Yes Christ said if a man lusts in his heart he has already sinned. Yet he also said in every temptation there is a way of escape. Sooo then, if a person lingers on a thought, instead of casting it down, throwing that thought away, and brining their thoughts into captivity, then they are asking for sin to be heaped up in their mind. But, if we take the "out" or way of escape God has provided and not linger, the temptation is nothing more than that...a temptation. Christ was tempted in all the ways we are yet he never sinned. He didn't linger on a thought that came to him about lust, etc. Remember, the father of all lies, remember where the idea of lust is born. When you turn from those thoughts you are giving God a chance to work on your behalf and showing you he is as good as his word and that is he will make a way for that temptation to be gone. Your sincere efforts in doing right will work if you remember to put Christ first and quit judging yourself so fast. God is loving and forgiving. His mercies are new every day. What happened yesterday is in the past. Today is a new day. :)

Hmm good question.
First off the bible says that there are no righous men on earth, not one (yes that includes women), you will always be in some sort of sin, its very difficult to accept at times. The thing is that you must repent, and realize the sinful things you do. The idea is not to NOT sin, because that is almost impossible, but to recognise the bad things you do and ask God to forgive you.
I do not belive you will burn for immoral sex once in a while, but I also do not entirely belive once saved always saved, I think you should always repent and always realize God knows you, what you do, even the bad stuff, but he always loves you.
Its not religion or even your belife that gets you in trouble, its sin. But sin has verying levels of bad I think. A lot of the things known as sin are not so bad, they are the things you would get a "Dont do that!" from your mother for, not a "go sit in the corner" or spaking your butt.
I think you should always listen to your inside, what do you truely belive you are doing wrong?

You want the truth ? Well the truth is that all Christians will suffer because of their beliefs. Just make sure that you don't buckle to the HATRED. And God said that this suffering is a blessing to Christians. You don't want Bible quotes, but you should read Matthew. I won't say another word.

Sure, all the time. Lots of the things we like to do reinforce comfort and well being. Christianity expects people to come out of those cozy comfort zones and be open to others reality, that causes some conflict to anyone.

God is a permissive God. He allows us all to make mistakes. Even the ones who persecute us are under Gods favor. When we turn to Jesus however everything just gets better (not perfect). When judgement day comes it is far better to have a lawyer who has never lost a case (Jesus) in your corner than to have no representation at all.

We're all angels with crooked halos. Just forgiven. When we fall, we pick ourselves back up, God dusts us off, and we try again. Sometimes it's easy for some and harder for others. It's a life long process. Your faith in Christ gets you through "trouble".

All i can say is most Christians i know do have 'illegal' sex. They say as long as u accpet Jesus christ as your saviour, it doesnt matter. I mean after all he did die for 'our sins'. So sin away. I cant believe Christians think that babies are born with sins. If they dont get baptised they are going to hell. For what, crying, pooping in their nappies?

If it were easy to remain righteious and sinless, we would not have needed Jesus to come and sacrifice himself for our sins.
