well in-order to be forgiven you must repent. The apostle Peter said: “Repent . . . and turn around so as to get your sins blotted out (acts 3:19) In order to be forgiven you must repent the turn around and remove yourself from doing that sin again. you must be firmly determined not to act or do what you did again. so if you know that you are doing something wrong and you realize it then no, GOD might not forgive you.

if we repent He will forgive.
Sometimes sin is mixed up with habits which are very difficult to break. Everyone trying to grow in holiness will encounter at some point the apparent inability of the will to stop doing something which the intellect knows as sin. If we repent, God will forgive, and we trust that in time God will give us the aid we need to overcome this weakness. In the case of addictions or mental disorders of course God has also arranged that we be intelligent enough to consult professional help.

If you continue to commit the same sin, BUT every time you go to God asking for forgiveness, you are also talking to him about be addicted to what ever this sin is, and you are also asking him for his help in these bonds being lifted from you, so you can stop, YES, God is still forgiving. But you can't be telling God one thing and not really meaning it in your heart. Always remember, God knows whats really in your heart. Blessed be Always -

Sin can be subtle. The whole thing with what Paul said about in Romans 7 shows that Paul was aware of sin that caused him to act in ways that he told himself not to do. Sin wars against the Spirit.
So rather than trying to figure out what is or sn't a sin, we have the connection with Jesus Christ to guide us away from all that judging and misjudging, God brings us through because HE promised us that He would.
I know that I am doing alright IF I remember to trust Him, even to keep me from severing our relationship. He then changes us. He promised.

If you believe in God, you will believe in the goodness of God. To answer this question, clear your mind of all human fears, guilts and egos and think, will you keep forgiving someone who continues to sin? You will not. But the question is not that. The question is will you punish that person or remove his chances of sinning again? How will you do that? Will you kill him? Will you physically disable him? Its a complex decision even for God. We humans are not equipped to take that decision. We are not that cruel. Nor do we have that power. Leave it to God. Only he can invoke massive disasters that can wipe off cities and millions of people. Cruelty and justice have different definitions in the dictionary of God.

No, God just gets remote from people who, in full knowledge, continue to sin. There is enough knowledge in the world to inform them of what is right and wrong, they don't need God to tell them. When I was a child, an abhorrant thought to me, was ever hitting someone, let alone taking someones life.
I detested violence. I was raised in an atheist household, what informed me that it was wrong to do violence to another person? My father taught me not to lie or steal, he never told me not to kill anyone, because that, of course, was a given.
Another thing he drummed into us at the dinner table was, - chew your food.
So my answer is no, God will not continually forgive fiegned ignorance, or deliberate sin.

It's not unforgivable.Rejecting Christ is the only thing unforgivable but ,as in I Corinthians 5 ,God might take you home to save your soul.Or you may very well lose any type of reward you might have gotten in heaven.
Jesus said"All that the Father has given me I will in NO WISE cast out."

Yes.. because His mercy has no depth. But asking for forgiveness and then doing it again purposely isn't really asking for forgiveness... repenting means to walk away from. If u just ask for forgiveness everytime u do it.. ur not really repenting...
remember, man looks at the outer appearence, but God looks at the heart.

I believe that once a person exercises saving faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is forever in the family of God. God never kicks anyone our of his forever family. A number of Scripture passages support this view. For example, in 1 Corinthians 12:13 we are told that at the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ. Once we are infused into the body of Christ, we are never excised from the body. In fact, Ephesians 1:12 and 4:30 indicate that at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, we are permanently "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. At that point, we are God's everlasting property. That seal guarantees that we'll make it to heaven.
Of course, the fact that a believer is secure in his salvation does not mean he is free to sin. If the Christian sins and remains in that sin, Scripture says that God will discipline him or her just as a father disciplines his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11).

Nope, there is only one unforgivable sin (and the nitwits doing the "Blasphemy Challenge" aren't committing it). Despite becoming Christians, we can still sin. We should, of course, try to avoid sinning as much as possible, but we aren't perfect and will never be free of all sin.
