Well, first of all, the Bible warns us against making such vows. Vows are serious business, and failure to comply to one is a serious issue.
Marriage vows qualify, because marriage is a covenant.
Now, in your case, you made a vow improperly. You may have made this vow in ignorance of the true meaning of what you were doing, or maybe you really thought at the time you could keep it.
This is a sin, but it can be forgiven, like other sins. You have to repent, which means to turn away from the sin, and don't do it any more. You have a "double dip" kind of sin to think about. First one, you should not make any more vows that you may or may not be able to keep. Second, you cannot keep breaking the purity idea, either.
Rather than relying on your own strength to keep these and other sins out of your life, perhaps asking God to protect you and help you resist temptations would be a good idea.

Yes God will forgive you if you truly repent and don't let yourself be tempted again. That means to not be alone with a boy stay with others, no long kisses or petting. Ask God to help you keep youself pure. When you find youself in a position, or place that tempts you to break your vow leave. God will help but, you have to do your part also. Be up front with any male friends that you are dating and don't back down, or let anyone guilt you into going against you vow to God. Find youself a group of Christian friends that have made vowes of purity so you can support each other. God Bless you .

Hey Vanna! How much for that vowel of purity? Ha,ha lol. Sorry couldn't resist.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
You only have your purity once, I suppose this all depends on how tarnished you made it. Is it a smudge or is it a rip in the fabric? The point is you still broke a vow, if you can't keep a vow between you and your Father how could you ever expect your future husband to believe a vow you make to him. I guess the lesson here is don't make promises you can't keep.
Yes I believe God will forgive you if you sincerely mean it. It might even help if you could learn to use a capital 'g' in God. Do you have any respect for anything?

Ask God to forgive you. He really will. Everyone has commented sins that we are so ashamed of that we cannot believe that God will forgive us. I have. David was not always pure and did not just comment ONE sin but allot of sins. And God still forgave him. Jesus said that if you are sorry for your sins HE will forgive. Trust Him.
It is just that WE don't want to forgive ourselves. And how can we love others and God if we won't forgive ourselves. You are not perfect and trying as hard as you can you won't get any better. You are just forgiven. Like me.
You aren't the first person to do this and you won't be the last. But God will always be there to forgive. Trust Him
By the way I am feeling the same way you are this day. But I know the truth and I will trust the Lord. Thank you for helping me.

God is willing to forgive any sin, as long as you sincerely repent with the intent of not repeating the sin.
Have you been born again? You need to if you haven't.
From what I've heard, many of the young people who make these vows of purity eventually break them. This fact does not justify your sin; just wanted to let you know you're not alone in your transgression.

Ask for forgiveness and repent. Remember, Satan plays with your mind. He will always bring it up to make you feel guilty and sad. If the Lord remember no more and removes your sin as far away as the East is to the West, you shouldn't either, but that does not mean go out and do it again...

Vow, honey. A vowel would be A,E,I,O,U and sometimes Y.
If you are a Christian, your God will forgive you if you realize what you did was "wrong", repent, and don't do it again. At least that's what most Christians believe.

No no no no no , everyone is wrong. It has never been taught in the church of peter, catholic church, or orthodox churches that just beliveing in God an Jesus would "erase" your sins. If you know you've commited a serious sin as you have allready stated then you must go to confession, where your sins will be repented

well since u just said religous, and didnt specify witch religion, i will answer, a broken vow is a serios thing in my faith, you would have to make a restitution of some sort in order for the spiritual mark of the broken vow to be lifted, and it wouldent be the Gods that need to forgive you, the person wronged by breaking the vow would have to forgive you, in this case that would be yourself

If you're a Christian, your sin is already forgiven...but it would still be a good idea to confess it to God. And then try to start over, and don't break it again.
