If your friends are tempting your to commit a sin such as adultery or killing someone, then those people are not your friends. a real friend would not force you to do anything you don't want to do. The next time you are tempted to doing something that you shouldn't do, remember the story of Adam and Eve, and picture your in Eve's place and the serpant tempting you to eat the forbidden fruit. Satin is the one who tries to make us sin, because in the End, God will obliterate Satin, and what Satin is doing is tring to take as many of us as he can with him to damnation.
Let me say that there is allways a choice, and making the right one is not always easy, sometimes we think there is only one choice, but really there are several choices.
If you ask God for forgiveness then he will forgive you, as long as you truly mean it.
God loves you, because if he didn't he would have never of created you, and he would not of sent his only son down to earth and die for our sins.
All you got to do is follow what the scriptures says, to me it sounds like your lost, so i suggest that you go out and buy a bible and read it.

I'm not a christian by any means, so I may not be right, then again I feel that religion shouldn't be about the rules. It should be about having faith. It's about living your life as a good person and doing what you can be better yours and other people's lives around you. It is my belief that worrying about commandments and rules is a tool of organized religion to keep its "sheep" under a rule of fear. If you ask me, if a God and Jesus do exist, they are understanding and patient beings. Doing a few things that churches tell you are hell worthy sins would certainly be looked down upon by a higher being that promotes a honorable life, but it's not about one act here and there that will condemn your soul, it is whether you lived your life helping others and yourself and trying to better this world for the next generation that would be judged. I hope this provided some insight.

As humans, none of us are perfect. It is entirely impossible to go through life without breaking any of the 10 commandments. (If someone says they haven't broken any of them, they're lying) The wonderful thing is, God loves us so much that there is always forgiveness. Christianity revolves around God's amazing grace! He is always there with open arms waiting for you to come back to Him. The important thing to remember is that this doesn't mean that you should go out and do a bunch of bad stuff and say, "well, i know that God will forgive me." That's abusing His grace. But when you do mess up, all you have to do is ask for His forgiveness and He will be right there to help you do better next time!!

First off, if you're forced to do something sinful (as in "forced at gunpoint" or some similar thing), it's not a sin. Sin involves willfull intent, and a person who's forced to do something is not acting out of willfull intent.
There are probably few (if any) times where we're actually forced to break a commandment, though -- we all have it within ourselves to resist temptation.
This doesn't mean we're going to hell if we commit sin. If that were true, then everybody would go to hell.
God is just, and God expects a lot out of us -- but He is also merciful to those who genuinely seek His mercy.
For us Catholics, God the Son (Jesus) established the Sacrament of Reconciliation (otherwise known as Confession) in order to give us a REAL assurance of making ourselves right with God.
Non-Catholic Christians say that Confession is unnecessary -- that you can just "go straight to God" without having to tell your sins to a priest.
But Jesus knew human nature. He knew how easy it would be to use the "go straight to God" technique as a way to "give ourselves a pass."
He also knew that we, being as weak as we are, would need rock-solid advice and guidance in avoiding certain sins in the future. The priest does that in Confession too.

Well in the bible it says 'there is no temptation that god connot provide a way out for'. ?Having said that.. there is no circumstance, its all you^^. If a man tries to kill you and you kill him than it was your choice, you chose to live and to live you killed.
As to the second question everyone breaks the commandments, I'd say atleast once a day. Maybe you 'steal' a look at another girl or guy, or you ate a piece of candy without asking. It happens! I mean, hell, look at the 'cahtolic' priests and the allogations that were being thrown at them not to long ago about 'sex offense' towards minors.

Get off of this "Perfect Christian" oxy moron!
Christian just means that the person understands to strive to be Christ-like, but that human imperfection will still tug at you and cause you to stray. A Christian understands that God extend's His grace to you and forgives. A Christian is forgiven.
Just have your heart right with God, pray often, and strive to do good. When you stumble, God will take you back. Remember that God is love....He proved that by sending His Son to die for us - to be our living sacrifice for our sins.
Don't sin on purpose...just turn away from sin and do the best you can do. Ask God for strength, and a way out of the sin, and He will provide!

First ask for forgiveness God is a merciful God and forgives no matter what no breaking commandments mean we are human that is why Christ Died for our transgressions Matthew 26:28 This my Blood of the Covenant Which is poured out for the forgiveness of sins. God forgives 70X70 That means alway no matter what.John 3:16 For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes should not parrish but have everlasting life for God sent not his son into the world to condemn but through him the world might be saved.

Well,
I may not be an expert on the bible and the ten commandments, but I am a beleiver.
I do know that God ALWAYS forgives-no matter what. If you ask him for forgiveness, and if you are truly sorry for whatever it is you have done, then God will definitely forgive you. Just never stop praying and never forget that God will always love you. Never think that you are such a bad person, that God doesn't love you anymore, because he does. Just listen to God and try your best to overcome temtation and follow God's word.
I hope my advice will help you.

if you are a christian and break commandments then you are no more than a 'normal, human being'. you won't ever get everything right and you will never, ever be perfect...but you will be forgiven if you ask and does it mean since you will never get everything right and that it's guaranteed you will 'sin' that you just give up and sin, sin, sin?! nope you just try your best to serve god and your fellow man and you will do just fine. making mistakes are one thing, but knowing you're committing a sin and doing it anyway is another. just forgive yourself for being human and do the best you can.

There is not one of us on the planet that has not sinned. There is only one sin that is unforgivable, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. unbelief. Yes breaking the Law has its price to be paid, when we break the Law even once, we have earned our wages of death. Hell is what we all have deserved for our disobedience. So yes humans are fallible. But there is one that has followed the Law perfectly, Jesus Christ, He paid the fine for us. He is the only way to forgiveness and eternal life. If you believe, repent of your sins with Godly sorrow and ask for forgiveness. Pray to God and He will forgive you, no matter what you have done, and go and sin no more.
James 4:7-10
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
