how can i be forgiven from my sins, i want to be saved but can you help ....?

Question

i dont know why, but i have some sort of phobia of going into a church and sitting in a box, quietly telling somebody of my wrongs, so i wondered if you could help direct me.....
when i was a young child(8 or 9), i used to take money from my parents, and i took a model car and 2 model motorbikes from my uncle, i begged for forgivness, is it going to be okay now.....

back when i was not in the hands of god, i watched horror movies, listened to heavy metal music and looked at things i shouldnt have, and i was pretty rude to people...

i currently watch bad movies, listen to heavy metal music and i am not aware on how to be a good person around my friends....

however, i have prayed and prayed and begged for forgivness, i want to know how to make this right with jesus

Answer 1

My dear, you are really desiring the best thing in life; having a clear relationship with Jesus Christ.
You have just mentioned what you remember as your sins even the numeros ones you could not. That is a step towards the Lord already.
You know God is holy and hates sin.God loves you but hate your deeds.You cannot sin and go free, God will make sure He punishes those who have rejected Him by living in sin. People will not go to hell because they have sinned too much but because they have refused to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth and the life.
My dear friend you can make things right with God in seconds. The problem is you have to know that when you sin it is putting a knife into God's heart.Sin separates you from God, and there are many people today who may even go and be staying in the church but they are far away from God because of their sins, they may even sing very well in the choir but the truth is that they are of the devil.
Now if you really want to make things right with God, say this prayer:::: Lord Jesus thank you for your words to me.I acknowledge that if I die now I will go to hell. Lord I come to you now to beg you to forgive all my sins in words, thoughts and in actions. I deeply regrete of those sins and I commit myself to live a sin free life counting on you. Give me the power to do your will at all cost.Make me a child of God now. Icommit myself to follow you at all cost. Amen.

Answer 2

I can't save you and don't ever think anyone can or you may be getting mixed up in something you could regret. People can only share and that's the honest truth. Here is the proof John 14:6

I can share only that Jesus was God's loving example or role model to us....God in the flesh. He modeled unconditional love not to love or approve of the bad choices people make but to love people because love conquers all. Since you are obviously a believer let me ask you this. Why only go half way with what you believe?

You mentioned you are into movies. Have you seen the movie The Pursuit of Happyness? That movie is kind of along the lines of the book of Job in the Bible. See, you talk about church being a box, and to be honest some are due to dogmatic practice, but just like everything else we all have to weed thru and find what is closest to us and our relationship with God.

"i currently watch bad movies, listen to heavy metal music and i am not aware on how to be a good person around my friends...."
For me this would be considered a very small box given the limited music, limited types of viewing etc.

Answer 3

First, I must ask: Where did you get the idea that watching horror movies and listening to heavy metal are sins against God? Some people say the same thing about card playing, dancing, and going to movie theaters. Back in the day, even barber shop quartets and playing checkers were considered worldly amusements and condemned by many Christians. Let Christ decide what is a sin, not His followers.

To do that, you need a direct link with Him and His Holy Spirit.

And that requires this simple process:
1.) Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness. Already done. And we're all sinners, by the way.
2.) Realize that there is nothing you can do to atone for your sin, but that Christ has already done it by dying on the cross. He did this to shed innocent blood in payment for the guilty.
3.) Ask Him (not some clergy figure, but Him) to save you and to be Lord and Savior of your life. Accept His forgiveness, and know He loves you.

If you were the only sinner in the world, Christ would have died for you.

Praying for you...

Answer 4

Jesus has taken our sins upon Himself when you ask for forgiveness and God takes those sins and cast them into a sea of forgiveness and remembers them NO more. If somehow sins keep coming up then the accuser (Satan) is bringing them up..However if you are asking for forgiveness but going back an doing the same thing immediately then I would question if you were sincere to begin with. You need to ask the Holy Spirit to take over your life and let the Holy Spirit help you mature as a christian. Give you life over and ask God through Jesus to help you with these things which the flesh enjoys and slowly but surely God will begin to take away the things which are not pleasing to Him. Do not ever let sin keep you from a relationship with god. Satan is called the Accuser for this reason..

Answer 5

It's easy: all you have to do is believe that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for your sins and you are automatically forgiven of them all. You don't have to go to a church to do that or go into some box. If you committ a sin after you believe then you just claim 1 John 1:9 name your sin and God forgives it and you move on. We can't stop sinning in this life so God provided a recovery process so that we don't have to live with guilt.

Just remember God accepts you as you are and has infinite love and patience with us.

Answer 6

You are not serious-are you? I can picture god sitting up there with nothing better to do but take count of you sinners. That's the 5th horror movie she has watched and listening to all that heavy metal music. I will sent you to the 5th circle of Hell unless you repent now. Think about it. The entity in question is seriously challenged physiologically

Answer 7

The most important thing I can tell you is that God loves you, and He doesn't want you to carry this burden of guilt any longer.

Furthermore, He has done everything possible to lift that burden from you. Our greatest problem can be summarized in one word: sin. It isn't only your problem; it's the problem of the whole human race. Because of sin we are separated from God, and down inside we know we haven't measured up to His standards.

That's why we feel guilty—and we feel guilty because we are guilty! The Bible says, "My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear" (Psalm 38:4). But we can't get rid of this burden on our own. We can deny it or suppress it, but we can't eliminate it by ourselves. Only God can take it away.

And that is precisely what He did when He allowed His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us. Christ was sinless and pure—but on the cross all our sins were placed on Him, and He took the punishment and death we deserve. The Bible says, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Don't carry the burden of your sin and guilt any longer. Instead, open your heart to Christ and by faith give your burden to Him.

Answer 8

I am supposing that you are Catholic,and you are refering to confession when you mention going into a box,you are not alone in thinking like this,many Catholics now refuse to go to confession and it is down to modernism and pride,we have this great sacrament that is simply taken for granted today, but let me give this information and other fellow Catholics who are of the same notion.
When we go to confession certain graces are freely bestowed on us because of the sacrament,first we receive `Actual Grace` which prepares us to make a good confession of our sins, secondly after we have confessed and received absolution we also receive`Sanctifying Grace` that helps us to be strong against future sin and temptation.
The Priest himself is not there to judge us but to encourage us to turn from our sins especially sins of addiction, he knows what it is like to be a sinner himself,as no one is without sin,and in this great sacrament he acts with the authority of Christ to absolve sin
Finally the nervousness that we may experience in going to confession is nothing compared to the great relief at having our sins forgiven and the burden of guilt removed.
Some Catholic people suggest that you only need to say sorry to God for your sins and this is enough,but this is only a half truth,it is an obligation for Catholics to use the sacrament of reconciliation because of canon law,and every Catholic must go to confession at least once per year minimum,or this in itself is sinful,there is absolutely no substitute for the sacrament of confession for any Catholic person.
Finally if I am correct and you are a Catholic I strongly suggest that you make use of this sacrament of Gods mercy for us and do not even listen to those who would by word or deed try to put you off,it is your soul that is important here and your eternal life and well being and not for some budding do-gooder to try and turn you from doing the proper thing for you.
Confession is not in the least painful,it is one of the greatest sacraments in the church,given by Christ Himself and we would be more than foolish to neglect it,many Catholics do so at their own risk.

Answer 9

Going to church does not save you only Jesus can do that! If you have ask to be forgiven then you must believe that you have been if your request was honest. To not believe is to doubt and this is insincerity. Please do not think to fool Father God. If you want to be right with Jesus, as you say then Jesus will make it right. All we can do as humans is agree with Jesus. He makes things right. You can only be sincere.

Answer 10

That's like saying "I've said something dreadful in my room at night that might have offended the boogie-man, how do I make it right?" Don't worry about it son, The only people you can wrong in this world are yourself, and someone else, and you make it right by making it right with them, or by just being honest with yourself and letting yourself grow. Muttering to the empty air will do you (nor anyone else) any good. Do what you know is right, forget about some dead people's rules from thousands of years ago...in the end, you are only accountable to yourself.
