When I was on a site minding my own business, this pop-up shows up with pictures of nude woman. According to the bible, it says if you look at a woman's body...you would be on the highway to hell. I repented, but I don't know if it could be apologized. I really need help!!!

Having read the answers above, there is nothing I could add regarding the religious consequences of "admiring" a woman's body which would be meaningful to you. Instead, I would like to assure you that it is perfectly natural to like to look at women's bodies. It is no accident that females are beautiful to the male eye, it's a natural part of how males become involved in the business of making babies. Women know that men like to look at them. They like it. That's a big part of why women put so much time and effort into their appearance. They want to be admired and appreciated.
Frankly, I think you are asking yourself the wrong question. I suggest you set about learning enough about women so that when you are married you will be able to fulfill your wife's day-to-day emotional needs. Do not make the mistake of assuming you can get away with simply treating your wife as if she were a man. Her needs are different than yours. Do you know how to treat a woman so that she feels good about herself? Females are half the human race! Instead of pretending that the accidental sight of one might send you to Hell, I suggest you learn to see women as human beings. Do you even have a platonic woman friend? ...one you can share your feelings with? That would be an excellent start.

Though i do not agree with the idea that looking at a womans body will put you on the highway to hell, I do know that If it popped up and you didn't go looking for it online, then, you are fine and you will not go to hell, especially if you repented.

Oh please!...do you honestly think you are going to go to hell for looking at some nude pictures???????
wake up! this is the trouble with religion, people, making people like you believe you are a bad, horrible person for doing something like this. Stop it this instant!, first, the human body is beautiful, (especially women, I think).....secondly, don't walk around heaping guilt on yourself, you are human, things like this happen.............just live a good life, do good in the world, spread kindness and leave it a little better than you found it and you will have lived an admirable, honest life.......

You have to realize that portions of the bible were edited by men promoting their own beliefs...These men who added these editorial beliefs were for the most part trying to repress women, sexuality, education and any religious beliefs that were not the same as theirs.
To the zealots who quote scripture, keep in mind that the modern Bible only contains about 25% of what was written by all 12 diciples and nothing from Mary Magdeline.
Also that 25% was edited to the PRIESTS beliefes not GODS so quit quote-ing the Bible it makes you look like a fool.

There is no hell, and even if there were, you wouldn't go there just for looking at naked women (or pictures of naked women). That's a recent, somewhat puritanical thing.
Heck, I see a naked woman every day when I shower (uh, if that counts), and it's not like the Vatican doesn't have loads and loads of nude paintings and statues in their vast art archives. Many of those works are devotional.
Even many pictures of Jesus depict him in the nude to emphasize his humanity.

Yes. You are going to hell for sure. You and all the people who seen Janet Jackson's breast on the Super Bowl half time show are going to hell. You & everyone in history who has ever seen the Venus de Milo statue are going to hell. At this rate, heaven is going to be a wide open area...

That doesn't even NEED an apology. You didn't look at an ad with a nude woman; the ad with a nude woman looked at YOU.
God will forgive you, you're safe. :P

I hope not. Just today I saw this lady with the most beautiful legs I have ever seen. She had shorts on and wowie. I am an old guy and past the serious lusting, but I still look.

You are funny... Not. But if you are serious of course you won't go to hell. "You repented". Besides it's not your fault, but it's the person who put the pop-up there.

You have it completely wrong. Looking at a woman's body will lead you to heaven.
