Will God forgive me ?

Question

I am not a practising Christian, I do not believe in God.

But say I was to due in 5 mins and found myself before God (big helping of humble pie!) would he let me in heaven?

If God forgives everyone, surely I can do what I like?

Answer 1

God is an INDUSTRY not an ENTITY. Man invented God to make money.

Would you worship and pray to the Disney Corporation?

Answer 2

IF you have confessed your sins, asked God to forgive you for them, believe that Jesus is the son of God, that He died on the cross for your sins, that He rose from the dead, and ask Him to come into your heart and save you then you are saved. Turn from what ever you are doing wrong (repent) and ask Him to help you. If you do that you will go to heaven. Otherwise you won't. The only thing that God won't forgive you for is rejecting Jesus Christ, refusing to accept Him as your lord and savior. No you can't do what you like, that could include anything. Get a Bible and findout what God wants you to do.

Answer 3

Well, if you don't believe in God there is no need to worry then.

However, observing your question, I guess deep inside your heart there is at least a curiousity about God, Sin, and Judgement. That is so fine, because it is a human nature.

I am a Christian and I do believe in God. My answer is no, He wouldn't let you. To enters heaven one must receive God's grace through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

God DO forgives everyone that ask a forgiveness through Jesus name.

Maybe you find this answer didn't satisfy your needs. That's OK, I just ask you to think about this: "What is the meaning of your life". Well, I, Myself found that Life without Jesus is a life without meaning.

Hope this can helps.

Answer 4

well, im not a practicing christian either, but i have been theru most of the rites, "baptism, comunion, confirmation". and i do know that the common belief is that god will forgive you if you are truly sory for what you have done. you cant do something bad.. go to confession and say im sory, then go again.

and you may want to rejig your question. you wont find yourself before God. its St. Peter who looks after the gates, he has a list of every action/decision you have taken, kindof like karma.

conflicting i know, 'if you can get forgiven for anything you do and are truly sorry, then why the list'... because thats the way it is :)

i dont exopect this to give you any hard and fast answer, but hey, its a start

Answer 5

Forgiving for sins which you do for God Alone is totally in God's Mercy. But for those harms & sins which you do to other Human Beings, the later should forgive you and God may forgive you next if He wills. The answer to your question cant be given by any man. Bcos it is God who decides. Nobody can bear your Sin or take your sins on them. You alone will bear the fruit and it is between you & The Almighty God. Repenting for sins also is entirely between you & God, the Almighty.

Answer 6

Of course God will let you do anything you like, because he has given you free will. The important thing is that he doesn't want you to get hurt or to hurt anyone else. Many times, we do not see what may hurt us. As children, we did not see the dangers of playing by a busy road with cars rushing by. It takes an adult or parent to guide us away from danger. The analogy is that God does the same for us by providing guidelines for life.
I hope this helps.

Answer 7

God does not forgive everyone. Only those who respond in repentance and faith.

With five minutes to go -

Many are called but few are chosen.

Strive to enter in at the straight gate for many I say unto you will seek to enter in and shall not be able.

- Doesn't look like you will obtain forgiveness does it ?

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?

- If his own cannot "do what I like," much less you.

You make a very great and foolish mistake. You think that you can just choose but you cannot. You can only respond to God's call. You cannot bring yourself to life nor do the work in your heart that only God can do. If He offers you opportunities and you fail to take advantage of them or refuse, then there is nothing more.

God is only a forgiving God to those He has forgiven.

All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

But if in all of your life you have not gone to Christ and with five minutes to go, I don't fancy your chances ! Especially now you have said what you have said.

Remember justice requires punishment.

To the one who seeks Him with all their heart He promises to be found of them.

You need to start seeking now.

Answer 8

We are all responsible for our karma which means we will suffer or delight accordingly.

However when it comes to the suffering part we are offered grace when we no longer need to learn the lessons we have been working through.

Personally I believe all souls will be with God,,, eventually. This does not mean that Karma cannot at times be harsh.

As a guideline I like the Wiccan Rede which combines the best of both worlds by advising to do as you like, but to harm none.

Answer 9

God forgives everyone who turns to him - who repents - ie does a U turn in their life. He would let you in heaven if you acknowledge Jesus as being his Son and that you receive his forgiveness and love.
HOwever, once we know about his love, and have recieved his forgiveness then there are certain codes of living to abide by - to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Not easy. We all fail, whether we are Christian or not. We all can receive forgiveness.
hope this helps.

Answer 10

God forgives all who come to Him in sincerity asking for mercy. You can not do whatever you like as you do not know the day or hour your soul will be called up like did the rich man in one of the parables told by Jesus. Live right everyday.

Answer 11

I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. there are many epople who don't show any interest in God or religion but go about their lives, being good to people & making everyone around them happy, & of course as you know the opposite is also true (I am not saying all religious people are bad) many bad people to mask their malice & wickedness & to get away with harming people & destroying their lives use religion or God as an excuse.
God loves us no matter what, I mean no matter what but it's up to us to accept His love.
The only thing is it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you have a good heart, pure mind you'll be fine. God looks at our actions & our intentions & u r free to do what u like that's exactly why God gave us free will. it's my belief also that I'm free; to choose whatever I please as long as i don't hurt anybody.
(these are just my opinions, please forgive me if u don't agree)
