Would I go to hell?

Question

If I accepted jesus and routinely repent my sins on Sundays (at church), but the next Friday I sinned again, let's say I said "God Damn." Then I am in a car accident and I die, before I have repented for that on Sunday, am I doomed to hell?

Answer 1

Hello Answer buddy...
I must first say Your logic is flawed as "routinely repent" is an oxymoron.

The Definition of 'repent' is to 'turn away from'. Its an absolute 180 degree turn away from an act or way of wrong doing/living.

I see your question though and i would answer by stating that God does not look upon us as man does, instead God looks upon your heart, and can read it like an open book, he knows all the intentions and motivations hidden inside you.

He would see if you were truly resentful and you were genuinely repentant.

He knows we all make errors with our lives, even when we are choosing to walk with him, what is important is the state of our heart and your relationship with him

Think of it this way,,, if you were married with a beautiful wife that you loved more than anything in the world, and on Sundays she spent intimate time with you, yet other days through the week, she did not really notice you at all, and even thought about and pursued other lovers.

You would be hurt and your heart would be in pain,, then this may turn to righteous anger.

What matters is your heart towards Jesus, and if you actually have a personal relationship with him, or if you are just going through the motions on Sunday.

Yes the forgiveness we receive through Christ is strong enough to cover our accidental bad language and our big stuff-ups...

Providing our heart is in the right place... his hands.

It's not about whether or not you asked God to forgive you for every last sin you can think of. The truth is that we often sin without even realising. The decider is whether or not you have a relationship with Jesus, the Son of God. Once you repent and ask him into your heart, you become his child. Yes, you will still sin after that, but you are now covered by the blood Jesus shed to pay for your sins. If you sin, yes, repent, because you don't want anything to come between you and your Saviour. But now it's just the sin nature in you that is sinning - YOU are a new creature!

Answer 3

Christians feel they are forgiven for all their sins, no matter when they happen. So go have fun, don't worry about anything, you won't go to hell....Of course, I'm a Spiritualist and KNOW there is no heaven or hell. The good or bad you do during your life will be taken into consideration after you pass to the other side of life and go for your life review to get your judgment of whether or not you advance to a higher level of understanding, or you have to come back and try it again to try and get it right the next time.

Answer 4

If you have no intention of changing yes bye bye but the normal person says things almost by habit and to have a sin be a mortal sin the will has to be engaged and in the instance you relate I can't think of the will being a part of that so I think you might be o.k with him.

Answer 5

Well, that depends on what your definition of repentance is, what you believe happened when you accepted Jesus and if your sin was deliberate or unintentional. Some people believe that all you have to do to be forgiven is ask. According to Revelations everyone's name is in the book of Life and when your name is read at the End of Days, then you will be questioned. Even then you can still ask for forgiveness.
Others believe that only the 144,000 spoken of in the book of Revelations will receive pardon and be allowed to enter Heaven, so sin away!
Personally, I believe that when Christ died on the cross our sins were washed away. When you accept his gift of death and resurrection he will forgive you. Who knows better than God that we are human and as such, we sin!

Answer 6

To a Christian, your question doesn't fit.

If you accepted Jesus, you would repent of committed sins quickly (you wouldn't wait for Sunday) because you wouldn't be able to stand having hurt your savior.

Also, if you accepted Jesus, you would know that His death paid for all your sins, past, present, and future. The repentance of sin following your conversion doesn't "re-save" you, it just re-establishes a peaceful relationship with your Heavenly Father.

Answer 7

You are confusing repent with forgive.

Repentance is turning away from your sinful life by trying to give up specific sins one has committed or fears they may commit.

Forgiveness is an unending gift from God to those who have faith that Jesus died once and for all for their sins; therefore, they are already forgiven and do not need to confess, but confession is a way of renewing one's testimony that they believe they are forgiven and absolved of their sins.

Answer 8

To repent of your sins means to change your life. If you had truely repented would you let that kind of things come out of your mouth?

Answer 9

Hell is a concept that was invented by religious leaders as a means to control their followers. Hell does not exist. Heaven does not exist.

Treat others with honor and respect and you will be rewarded in THIS life. That is the important thing.

The church is lying to you in order to take your money and control your life. You will be better off if you do not go to church.

Answer 10

Well, let me put it this way, God gives you many chances to save your own soul, it is up to you to repent. But after soooo many chances that he gives you, he might just say you are beyond salvation. So just try to be a good person and you should be ok. I sometimes say bad words, but at the same instant I realize it, and say God forgive. But even with that one is never sure whether you are going to heaven or not, because it also depends on how you treat people, and the deeds you have done in your life time. But just keep the faith, and I hope to meet you in heaven, when God comes to get us.
p.s. a myth......yes you can loose your salvation, you have to work at it everyday to keep it.
