It doesn't matter. Heaven and Hell don't exist. When you die, you're just dead.
Instead of wasting your life planning for when you're dead, try figuring out how your actions affect others. If others are important in your life, you might want to treat them well.

If you sin then confess w/ a sincere heart you should turn away from that sin. No i dont believe it is right to sin, confess, sin again, confess and so on for the same action. If you continue doing that same action when you confess u aren't truly sry or you wouldn't keep doing it. Jesus says to the lady that commited adultery, repent and turn away from your sin.
But at the same time, everyone sins everyday. Big sin, little sin, no sin is greater than the other. It matters whats in your heart and if you are truly sry for. And if u have a repenting heart you will try to live holy, but naturally every1 falls. If not Jesus died for nothing.

No you can't keep confessing and sinning over and over. If you do that then you have not truly repented of you sins. The word repent mean to turn away from. If that is the case then why would you continue to do that same thing over and over. I think sooner are later you will realize that you need deliverance from that area and seek a deeper relationship, pray and fast, seek Godly counsel. It also says in the word that grace does eventually run out for those that want to play around with our Lord. When you truly have that Holy Spirit there is a transformation that takes place in ones heart and mind and the fear of the Lord is present. Your goal should be to please God and not play with Him.

If you sin you repent, (ask God to forgive you and to help you to never commit this sin again). God doesn't want us to sin, confess, sin confess again and again over the same sin, Different sins yes. We have to learn some time or another we can't keep making the same mistakes or we won't get anywhere.

If you confess with the intention of committing the same sin again, that means that you are lying to God and have not truly repented - turned from the sin. If you are a Christian, all of your sins were forgiven at the moment of your salvation, but if you continue to deliberately sin and not turn from it, you are breaking your fellowship with God.
If you are struggling with a particular sin, you should ask God to strengthen you in that area.

No, part of confessing the sin is repenting from it....turning from it. As a saved Christian, any sin that I commit breaks the relationship between me and God. He won't hear my prayers or show me things. I have to get right with God by confessing my sins and repenting of them in order to get back into a personal relationship with Him.

Confession is not a ticket to continue sinning. It is a way to receive grace so that one can change. One must repent and truly try to sin no more, but if they fail, they can be forgiven again for the same offense. It is a matter of your intentions and what is in your heart.

Sometimes a person has a particular weakness and this kind comes out only with fasting and prayer.
But the question that arises in my mind is, should we sin because of grace? Paul the apostle said in answer to this very question, God forbid! NO!
The other question is, how many times can you sin before God says "You're not really repenting" ???
God's mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness to the ends of the earth, but He IS holy, after all, and expects us to either repent, or take action with the Lord to rid ourselves of these things - "the sin that so easily besets us."

No. True 'confession' or repentance means that you abandon that act or sin forever and have no desire at all to commit that sin again. If you confess a sin with the intention of committing it again, you are mocking god and the gift of repentance and forgiveness.

Well God knows your heart and if you are really trying to stop from doing that or other sins, and as soon as you realize you have done it, turn to Him with a sorry, repentant heart, I'm sure our Loving heavenly Father would.
As you allow Him to change you to be more and more like Him, and the more mature one becomes as a Christian, the less likely they are to fall into temptation.
God bless,

True repentance means making a real effort to not commit the sin again.
