A question about sinning +other things.?

Question

I know that we are not supposed to have sex untill we are married, but why? I don't think people even got marreid when god was around. And murder is a sin, so does that mean that the troops that fight in wars are all going to go to hell for killing people?

Also can someone give me a list of ALL of the sins so I can make sure that I am not sinning?

and how EXACTLEY do I ask for forgivness after commiting a sin?

Answer 1

whew....ill answer

1. people want you to wait to have sex before youre married because they assume youll be mature and well positioned to have lots of carnal pleasures....its a comfort thing i guess...for your parents.

in reality as long as youre mature and responsible you can have it. feel free to....enjoy yourself...

2. murder is a sin...and technically the soldiers in iraq are commiting murder. technically. id hate to say it....my brother was in iraq...but if you chistians are supposed to live christian lives than your duty to your god is supposed to overshadow your duty to your country...you cant have both. if your god sayd dont kill...you dont kill...no matter how much your commanding officers tell you to shoot.

3. there is no list. especially when your fellow christian beelviers thing EVERYTHING is a sin...

4. just ask....i assume. your god is listening...isnt he?

Answer 2

You can't stop yourself from sinning. You can't ask forgiveness enough to make a difference.

God doesn't want you to obey a set of rules. He gave us rules to show us that we CAN'T keep them. Once we establish our inability to save ourselves, he expects us to turn to him for help. He has provided salvation by becoming a person -- Jesus -- and taking the punishment for all of our sins at the same time. When we accept that sacrifice as being applicable to us, then we're righteous in God's eyes.

There has always been "marriage" though the method and ceremonies have differed. The point is that God knows that sex works best when it's in a life-long committed relationship. It's not that he wants to give you a rule to keep you from doing something bad, he wants to help you live in a way that will be more satisfying than just following your own desires.

Get the relationship with God figured out and the rest of this will fall into place.

Answer 3

You know i had the same question about the troops. I, myself is joining the Army and thought about killing people. But the Bible says not to kill. So i was clueless, but the fact we are defending our country , the fact that we are defending against freedoms, we are doing a right cause you know. Murder like because of sins, such as, hatred, anger, grieve, and etc. That is what you called murder like you feel it in your heart you just wanna end his/her life. And sex, is commiting adulterly, because God gave us only one wife or husband one love. And God does not want you guys corrupted by going around and having sex. There are so much sin but i will name some
Read the Bible, you will learn alot and God will speak to you. Ask God for your forgiveness, repent.
Sins:
Adulterly, Idol worshipping, gossiping, lusting, anger, lying, 2 face, and etc.

Answer 4

why no sex before marriage?

1. it shows commitment. a man and a woman get married and they are basically one according to God. then that leads into adultery, divorce... "a house divided cannot stand"

2. to avoid all thisthis pro-life, pro-choice stuff

3. God set a standard for marriage. sex is supposed to be the holy union between a husband and wife. then it's desecrated and undervalued. kind of a problem, don't you think?

God is always around.

War and murder are kinda separate; murder is unlawful or malicious killing of (a) human being(s); if you went to war not out of hate or greed, it's not malicious; if you went to war to protect your country, you're not malicious; if it's genocide, then it's definitely malicious. it's really the reason for your involvement in the war

rejecting Christ as Lord and Savior is what sends you to Hell, not one sin, though repentence is a must.

you ask forgiveness by talking to God and saying something along the lines of "God, i know I've sinned. I am sorry. I will change. Please forgive me" with an honest desire to change and serve God.

Answer 5

No matter what the reason for premarital sex, no matter how common it is, no matter how many counselors and clergymen approve of it, the Bible advises:

“This is what God wills, . . . that you abstain from fornication; . . . that no one go to the point of harming and encroach upon the rights of” another.—1 Thessalonians 4:3-6.

Some may feel that God is here being needlessly restrictive. But do not forget that sex itself is a gift from God; he is the One who created humans with reproductive powers. (Genesis 1:28) Is it not logical that the Author of human sexuality should be able to provide the best counsel on it, advice that can actually safeguard us against grief?

Regarding those who kill in the war, God does not approve of anyone who kills another human being:
Matthew 56:52 : Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.

There is not a "list of sins" I recommend that you study the bible

Answer 6

Okay, first of all even the best of us sin. The list of sins is endless. Because people do bad things everyday from killing to just plain making fun of someone at school. Not even the best of Christians can go without sinning. As for asking for forgiveness just say a prayer such as; " Lord I know I'm a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness. I know I may fail in the future but I will try my hardest to honor and serve you. Guide and protect me. Amen"
See we can't go without sinning because we are a product of the fall (Adam and Eve's initial sin) but we can try to avoid sin. So, as for your sex before marriage question, don't stay overnight at a boys house, try avoid being alone (in other words "group dates", I know it's corny but it helps), and let the other person know where you stand.
As for the killing question, are we not trying to do better in this war we're fighting and get rid of people who are killing innocent in their own country.

Answer 7

1. Premarital sex. This is cautioned against because some bad things can happen if you decide to go ahead with it anyway. You can get pregnant, get STDs, and of course get your heart broken pretty easily. Personally, I'm not big on the concept of sin, and I would recommend making your own choices. However, they had some darn good reasons to warn against it.

The list of sins varies from religion to religion. I would start with "do unto others, as you would have them do unto you" as a jumping-off point. Stop sinning against others first, this is something many people forget as they think about the problem of other sins.

Best of Luck

Answer 8

Sex is God's gift to married couple. I think we all sin in that category because even your thoughts count.
However, all His laws are here to protect us.
Just talk to Him.You do not have to have any person as a mediator. Talk to him and ask forgiveness and promise to not to do it again. If you think you cannot do it, ask Him to help you. As soon as you ask forgiveness, you are forgiven.

Jesus died for all of our sins. It is His grace and mercy that we get the salvation. It is not about our works, good or bad.

Answer 9

The best way to be sure you know what is sin, is to have an ongoing 'born again' relationship with Jesus. He will put you straight, through the convicting power of His Holy Spirit.

How are you 'born again' and how do you recieve God's forgivness and His Holy Spirit. You ask for them, in repentance, through Jesus who died for yours and my sins.

"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Is 55;6,7

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9
