Please Answer fellow believers!! AM I IN DANGER OF HELLFIRE??!?

Question

First of All--- I don't want to hear the bullcrap of any nonbelievers what-so-ever, for God is real and I know it.
And additionally, since I know Hell is real, if you don't believe in it your answer is not desired as well.

Now please anwer with complete seriousness,
If you have a sinful habbit, that you REALLY want to fix! And I mean its a habbit breaking a commandment that you have the intention of heart to fix with all your might- BUT you haven't quite fixed it as of yet, will that send you to Hell??
The scriptures clearly say that a single sin will send you to Hell and especially without Jesus. And if you accept Christ, does that mean future sins you try to fix are forgiven or no? I have (and technically still) commit adultery with my girlfriend which I sorely regret, let me tell you. I'm ashamed of it, really. I tell Jesus I REALLY want to stop and fix it, AND I am trying to. But since its not fixed yet, if I died... Would I go to Hell??

Answer 1

If you repent of your sin, which means to turn 180 ° away from sin, and you have asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart and cleanse you of all sin, and your are sincere and honest with Him about it, He will wash you clean and create in you a NEW heart w/ new desires to please Him, to love others as He has loved you in your sins, and you will have within you a desire to do His Will, and not satisfy your own fleshly desires.

If Christ is your Saviour, He is the Source of your salvation and will deliver you from such bondage, if you have brought it all to Him and confessed it, no matter how ugly it may seem, but you continue to do it, then you need to repent of it and admit to Him that you can't do it without His help, Ask Jesus to save you from it, and just be totally honest with Him, Submit your heart & your desires to Him and He will "fix it"

Someone once said that "sins lie waiting just outside the door", as long you keep the door cracked open, you'll never be able to overcome it. You gotta close the door.

The Scripture says to put all such things away from you, to turn away from evil & submit yourself to God. "Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provisions for the flesh" Rom 13:14† That means saying no to your girlfriend and saying yes, to Jesus. You've got to be willing to take up your own cross and be willing to be uncomfortable long enough to turn away from it & keep the commandment. By loving others , you keep the commandment, and will break the sinful habit.

"Love does no harm to it's neighbor, therefore Love is the fulfillment of the law: The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery" ;"You shall not murder" ; "You shall not steal"; and whatever other command there may be, are all summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself, therefore Love fulfills the law" Romans 13:8-10†

When you love God with all your heart,all your mind, all your soul & all your strength as commanded, and you love your neighbor as yourself, it's easy to keep the law, because you love God and you love others and don't want to "grieve the Holy Spirit" or hurt any one. /i.e., you won't steal from people or lie to them or sleep w/ your neighbor's wife.**Because unless God gave her to you and you are married to her,she is not yours & does not belong to you.

Your body no longer belongs to you, as you were bought with a price., and your body is the temple of God and God's Spirit dwells in you and we know His †emple is sacred
.(1Cor.3:16,17†)
Consider what is inside the one you are with, do you know what or whom you are joining the Lord to?.

"Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation" II Cor. 6:2


When Jesus came across a certain woman who was about to be stoned to death for committing adultery, Jesus told her accusers, "Which ever one of you here is without sin, cast the first stone" And they all dropped their stones and ran away, because they knew they Jesus knew their hearts. Then He turned & asked the woman,"Where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?" And there was not one to be found.She said, "no sir".,"Neither do I condemn you" Jesus told her, Then He said, "Go now & leave your life of sin" (full story is in John 8:1-11†

We are sinners. There's an old saying that reads, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" .

We can have the best intentions is the world to make things right &"fix ourselves'. but the truth is we CAN'T. If we could save ourselves we wouldn't need a "Saviour". Jesus knows we have a sinful nature and He also knows if it were up to us, we would never come to Him. God loves you, that's why He chose you out of the world, and He gave each one of us the measure of faith needed to be able to do what He wants us to do.

If you've accepted Christ as your personal Saviour, yes He forgave your sins, but He wants His children to become more like Him. Let Him change your heart and turn yourself away from things in the past that you used to do. Put them far from you and don't look back.

After a person is saved, they still need to repent and ask for forgiveness when they fall. No one is perfect and every child falls a few times until he/she learns how to walk. We all have things we have to turn away from, but He wants us to grow up and to overcome them. He wants us to be overcomers.

"Do not be overcome with evil, overcome evil with good" "Resist the devil and he will flee" "Flee temptation"

He loves you dearly and He WANTS you to let "Him" do the things that you can't do yourself. He wants to be the first place you to turn in troubles, when you fear, when you're weak, and He will make you strong. He wants you to be able to come to Him with anything in your life and to be "Lord" over all areas in your life.

But He is very much a Gentleman and will not force anyone to do anythings they don't want to do. He wants His children to willingly" do what He commands us, because we love Him and because we love others, not because we "have to or else", He wants His children to come "freely" to Him and bring all our cares and all our troubles, all our faults & weaknesses all our needs to Him first so we can overcome them, and do God's Will.

If we fall into sin & temptation, we are still accountable, even more so than before, since before, we didn't know any better and were without Christ in our lives, But now we KNOW when something is wrong because we have God's Word & because the Holy spirit convicts us to turn away from it and do good. "To know what is good to do and do it not, to him is a sin".

"When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin & have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life." Romans 6:20-22†

"For it is by grace we are saved-through faith, and not of ourselves, it is a gift from God,--not by works, so that no one can boast. We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good work........." Ephesians 2:8-10†

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" II Corinthians 12:8

. "Come unto Me all ye who are weary & heavy burdened, cast all your cares upon Me, and I will give you rest"

"Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken" Psalms 55:22†

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5,6

Answer 2

That's willful and habitual sin, there's NOTHING put in front if you (no temptation) that God will not offer a way out :

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Your behavior indicates that you are not being lead by God, and it makes your relationship with Him questionable. It's also a mockery and a bad witness.

You need to confess your sin, he will forgive you, and turn from it.. You're not trying hard enough! God bless and pray about this, maybe seek help from a Christian pastor or someone you can trust.

Answer 3

SERIOUS ANSWER: Hell is the absence of God. Jesus died for our sins, plural, not sin. You are actually in two sinful situations, one having an affair on your girlfriend, and if I read this correctly, you are having sex out of wedlock. Were you afraid of going to hell when you were having sex with your girlfriend? Then why are you worried now? The only thing stopping you from sinning is yourself. You need to reconcile this and go forward with your plan of not cheating. But God is not going to throw you into a fiery furnace because you sinned, he has already given his Son for all that. What a sacrifice!

Answer 4

No my friend. It seems you have a sincere faith in Jesus Christ. It seems you are regretful of your actions. Here is what you should do. Turn away from your sexual sins and hold off until marriage. Jesus will forgive you. I would not say you are going to hell for what you are doing but you may face some harsh concequences for your actions. LIke maybe an unplanned pregnancy? I hope this helps.

Answer 5

First I must confess to you that I have been in the same situation. As far as being in danger of hell is concerned, my answer may not be the one that most evangelicals would agree with, but I believe it's the truth. You need to repent. Jesus spoke of cutting off your hand if it is causing you to sin. That is how serious you need to take sin. Especially sexual sin. Hell is where you may end up if you continue to ignore the Holy Spirit's conviction. Be very afraid if you stop feeling the guilt and shame that is associated with sexual sin. That's a sign that you are perilously close to being turned over to corruption. God will never turn His back on you and will always welcome back the prodigal. The problem is that you may turn your back on Him and never return if you continue to ignore the warnings. It's your choice. Get serious brother. My prayers are with you.

Answer 6

Yes you are in danger. There is no reason for you continuing in fornication, as this is or will take over your life.. I would say by your question that the Holy Spirit is working with you..more...
You want to stop and have started something that is above your ability to control..
I assume that you are too young to get married??? Because that is the answer (biblically)
You are getting some real dingbat answers, please ignore them ...
If you can't get married, then you just have to cold turkey STOP. What about your girlfriend?, you are not the only one in danger..
Even if you are young I really recommend that you get married. I counciled some people here and the girl was very young 14 and they wanted to get married and the parents were against it.. Myself and another Pastor recommended marriage as it was very plain that they were in fornication or soon would be.. They did and that was about 5 years ago and they are doing fine and she did grow up inside of her marriage and is a nice young woman..

Other problems are that if you aren't going to get married that at some point others will find out and it will again create problems. You will also find that eventually you will start to excuse your sin and start to condemn God himself for your weakness..
There has got to be a way to STOP>>

Answer 7

If you're not married, it's fornication, not adultery. I had a bit of a revelation awhile back. Maybe this will help:

Surrender!

Sometimes it seems that the word ‘Surrender’ has become a dirty word in America today. That’s too bad, because surrender is the only real way to find peace. It also happens to be the key to a life of true power. I don't think I really understood that until fairly recently, when, as a perceived ‘need’ to sin pressed closer to me, as it does to us all, I remembered a recent Bible study that defined worship as surrender. Surrender to God.

I remember wishing that it were as simple as that, that I could just give up and leave all responsibility for my sins to God, when suddenly a light came on in my head and I realized that I could. That in fact, this was the purpose of the Cross and Calvary. The howling need to sin that I had felt only moments before was suddenly gone, like a storm on the Sea of Galilee. I was free! Confused but grateful, I quickly went about preparing for my day.

Surrender to God. Why was this such a revelation? Throughout my life, I've heard, read, and sung these and similar words: "All to Jesus, I surrender, Lord, I give my self to thee..." But somehow, surrender to God was always a different concept from the kind of surrender one submits to on a field of battle, or when surrendering to the police, or even surrendering a game of chess. Every time we are taught to surrender to God, there is a quick insertion of: "...and you will receive...". But giving to get is not giving. It's just investing. And THAT is looking out for number one. It has nothing whatever to do with surrender.

Every Christian knows that there is "Power, power, power in the Blood", that we should be able to overcome all obstacles easily because of the power of God. But who can access this mythic power? Sure, Paul can "do all things in Christ", but let's be honest, at least with ourselves. When was the last time you flicked an unlit cigarette from your lips? When did you last put your dish away after a single course instead of refilling it with a delicious food item? If you are like me, and all humans are, there are dozens of small things you want to stop, but don't have the will power to achieve victory over. The good news here is, you don't need to. Maybe that's the real heart of the Gospel, that we truly are free now, free of sin, free of unwanted needs, free to choose life and (Oh, no... Now I'm doing it!) victory over the world and everything in it.

But that's only a side effect! The whole point is that surrender to God puts you where you belong. I might as well stop now, because I'm sounding like every other preacher/teacher/evangelist in the world. Suffice it to say, if you want to break the chains of sin in your life, get in line and enter Gods P.O.W. camp. As long as you put yourself first, no matter what you may believe, you ARE God's enemy. Surrender!

Answer 8

Many religions have faced this issue and have tried to define salvation in some way to answer the question intellectually. Don't make this mistake. One is not "forgiven" because he declares belief verbably. One is forgiven because he has faith and repents.

Stop trying to fix your sins by your own strength. You must depend on God for that. I would suggest the faith-based 12 step program to overcome this addiction. *Have faith* that God can heal you, because He can.

Answer 9

No, you are not 'going to Hell' ... because you have already 'accepted Jesus' into your life, and HE DIED FOR ALL OF OUR SINS. Okay, I don't 'really believe in Hell' but I do think that there is a 'space' (I call it Purgatory, which isn't quite right, either) where some 'really sinful people' must go to 'do penance' and learn to 'think and be good' in their heads and hearts ... and that may be 'the same thing' that you are calling 'Hell' ... but God is LOVING AND FORGIVING and he sent HIS SON to 'die for all of our sins' on the cross ... and THAT means 'I'll see you in Heaven' in the end!

Answer 10

No one on Yahoo Answers can answer that with 100% certainty... You say you're a believer, so, believe what you think makes the most sense. If you feel bad about it and ask God for forgiveness, and you really mean it, I think you'll be forgiven, at least to an extent? Again, who knows... If you believe God is fair and just then have faith in that.

Answer 11

No. If you are sincerly in your heart repenting and trying to correct your sinful habit Jesus will forgive you. As for trying to stop... have you tried talking to your girlfriend about this yet? If you two have a good solid relationship she will be understanding and hopefully will support you.
Keep Jesus strong in your heart. Good luck with your girlfriend.
