yes im an athiest but its like if you go out and kill sumone and pray for forgiveness why should it be ok? if thats the case then there shouldnt be a hell

Answer 1

1) Irrelevant. Jesus said lusting in the heart even without doing it is still guilty, so, Guilty
2) Guilty
3) Not as a believer
4) Guilty
5) Guilty
6) Guilty

Good job, you found me to be a sinner. Jesus, who is God, died for my sins and rose from the dead. I'm forgiven forever.

Hell is for unbelievers. If you insist on not believing, that's where you'll end up. Jesus said you commited murder if you got angry with another person without cause. So all of us are guilty of murder too.

Answer 2

There are so many questions you want answered. First, the Bible says ALL have sinned. Including Christians, Jews, atheists. I believe that God will forgive many sins, including murder. However, there will still be punishment for those sins, such as death, jail time, etc. There are other kinds of punishment that follow generations. The forgiveness God gives offers peace within, but the prices still need to be paid. Also, when God forgives, we are to turn away from that sin and not committ it again. I hope that covers a few of your questions.

Answer 3

1. no, married twice
2. no, talked about people all the time when I was a teenager.
3. no. I've doubted before
4. no. said it all before.
5. hated them when I was a teenager (of course!!!)
6. yes. never lied on someone. would feel too guilty
I've done bad things before, but have asked for forgiveness and when I feel like doing something wrong, I say a pray to calm down. Everyone has sinned and all you have to do is talk to God and keep relationship with him. It doesn't matter if you go to church every week, your relationship with God is what will give you peace. If you have peace, you won't feel compelled to sin.

Answer 4

Being justified and purified does not equal perfection. God's grace is there to help us have another chance to get it right. It is sad that there are Christians who have done or do things they know is contrary to God's will.

As Christians, we are to be aware of what God's word says concerning conduct and lifestyle. We are also supposed to respond to His conviction (not condemnation,as He does not condemn), by repenting - which is more than an apology or asking forgiveness. It is confessing one has sinned, asking forgiveness and praying for the strength to not do that thing anymore (sometimes it may be a process, but at least to unlearn something wrong is in the right direction).

How many times can we ask for forgiveness? God is, afterall, patient, kind and tolerant. But, He forgives what is repented for - if one continues to do the same thing relying on God's forgiveness, then one has truly not repented, but is deliberately sinning thinking all is well because of the false notion that they only have to say, "Forgive me, Lord." If He were truly Lord, a person would stand convicted of their wrongdoing and repent.

No one is perfect. Some of us take longer to get some things right than others do. There are others who need to re-evaluate some of their actions and life decisions. Then, there are those who strive all the time to "get it right", while being picked at for every mistake by people who want to pin "hypocrite" on Christians.

Answer 5

I can tell you honestly that I've done all those. And not that I'm proud of that, but I'm also not afraid to admit it. The whole point to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection was because nobody can live the life God expects from us. Nobody can make it into Heaven on our own merit. We must all trust in God to do it for us. I love God for the fact that HE loved me first and dies for me and showed me the way. And then He says "It's finished" and I'm not expected to have to "do" anything else other than LOVE. I'll still mess up... and I do. But God doesn't have a limit on His forgiveness. He says He doesn't even see our sins after they are forgiven. They won't be brought up again!!

So how many is too many? I'd say ONE.

How many will God forgive? I'd say ALL.

Should there be a hell? I'd say... why not? There are plenty of people who would rather not spend eternity worshiping God. So why "torture" them by sending them to Heaven?

Good question. I hope Christians step up to the plate and admit we are full of folly and our only hope of glory rests in God. Be blessed!

Answer 6

Although I am not a Christian (I'm Jewish) I can say that most Christians (and Jews) *Try* not to do sinful things. That's all G-d really expects. He made us imperfect, so he doesn't expect perfection from us, he only expects us to *strive* for perfection. It's the journey, not the destination, that counts.

Jewish doctrine says you can't just ask for forgiveness from G-d for something that you have done to another person. You have to get forgiveness from them (or at least make a really strong effort to) by making amends for how you have wronged them and asking for forgiveness before G-d can forgive you. If you killed someone, there is no way to make amends to that person...no forgiveness.

Answer 7

this is a very deep question. My first question to you is, are you sure you know what an athiest is? In your question you have acknowledged God. A true athest says there is no God.
In the Bible is says to forgive your brother seventy times seven and then seven more. the three sevens together represent infinity. That is what God does. True repentance has no number of times for forgivness. Yes, true faith would say you would do your best to stay away from these sins, but God understands that we are human, he gave us free will (all have sined and fallen short of the glory of God)
Only those who have accepted God's free gift and truly repent of their sins have the 'get out of Hell free' ticket. it is sad, but there are those who ask for forgivness thinking it will keep them out of hell, but there is a process to follow before that can happen.

Answer 8

I'm pretty sure i've done all of the above. except for being married (married now, only once) and never hated my parents. I did a lot of this before i got saved, but now the Holy Spirit lives in me, and now I feel conviction of doing wrong/bad/sinful things. Yes I am forgiven and daily have to repent because i'm still human with a sinful nature. But God has given us the power to overcome sin and temptation, and if we are trully born again, be begin to develope a fear of the Lord, which is being afraid of hurting Him, not Him hurting us for doing something wrong.

Answer 9

1. I will

2. Never in a spiteful way, only the truth.

3. Nope, never

4. Never in a slang or derogatory way.

5. no, just very mad at them.

6. of course, who doesn't. not that I do it a lot, but sometimes it happens. I try not too.


God has said He will forgive us as many times as we ask Him too. There is not "too many"

Murder is a sin that is very hard to be forgiven of. If you even ask for forgiveness. It is a long painful road.

Answer 10

Christians are sinners saved by grace (God's Riches at Chrsit's Expense). You aren't a better Christian by trying hard to be faithful. You are a better Christian if you choose to let your Faithful God continue to work in your messed up life!

It really bugs me when non-Christians think I should be perfect since I claim to be a Christian. Oh wretched man that I am! Who can deliver me? I Thank God---he has picked me up, turned me around, and set my feet on solid ground!!

I can't do anything better to be loved more by Jesus. I cannot do anything more horrible to be loved any less by Jesus. His love is unconditional. I am so grateful for this kind of love, that he gives me the desire to sin less and less.
