even though on earth we may do things that may be seen as sins according to the bible, if we go to church and confess our sins are we forgiven?

and just say we dont live exactly how the bible says we should (coz it is abit hard) but u are a good person with a good heart and wouldnt intentionally hurt anyone... will be go to heaven??

isnt it the heart and soul of a person that matters in the end?

I honestly do admire ur desire and sense of understanding. Dont let these ignorant ppl put u down by saying heaven doesnt exist or tellin u anything different than wat u jus said. It sounds like 2 me u already have tha heart of a person goin 2 heaven. As long as u TRY and live by his word and jus do as tha bible tells u, u will go 2 heaven because we all fall short of his glory at one time or another. Thats y u ask 4 forgiveness everyday because everyone sins even if they dont realize it. But keep doin as u r doin

Just going to church or being moral or just a good person doesnt get one into heaven.........

And it isnt may seem like sin...we all have sinned and came short of His Glory....

One must first believe He is...and that He is a" REWARDER of them that deligently seek him "
And our reward is Christ...and heaven if we obey Him..

One must ask forgiveness of sin and stop abiding in sin...and start abiding in Gods Word and His Truth.....and OBEYING Gods Word and Doing it...not going to a building or doing things that are mans traditions and customs , BUT desire the LOrd and His Truths not mans ways but Gods Ways.....

The bible says " For the abundence of the heart the mouth speaks..."and its what" Comes out of man that corrupts him " for it is by our words and deeds and actions and from ones Heart one believes unto salvation.....and if your heart is full of cursings or blasphemies and such , then How could you or anyone go to a Holy place when your not Holy ? The Bible says and is written " Be ye holy for i am Holy "And it says to " Lay aside every weight and sin that so easily besets you "

One must first BELIEVE HE IS
and it goes on to say " If ye confess with your mouth and believe in your Heart that Jesus was raised from the dead , thou shalt be saved "

And we must first believe HIM
and REPENT and be cleansed from all unrightoeusness..

If you have faith in God's promise of forgiveness, you have nothing to fear. That is, if you're sure that God forgives, God will forgive you.

otherwise...

Examine your heart and soul. Do you ignore people in need? Do you love material things, going shopping? Do you think about your friends more than God? Do you like exerting power over people who are nerdier or shyer than you are? Are you spiteful or unhappy with your life?

I think that most people want to be good people, but some people need an extra kick in the pants, or a reminder or something that they don't always do what God wants them to do when they could.

Try reading a book called The Irresistible Revolution. It might be hard for you to read, but I think it might help you.

Heaven is for the ruling class of God's Kingdom.
The vast majority of mankind will be on a Paradise Earth...

"...Evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth... just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be... The meek ones themselves will possess the earth,And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." --Ps 37:9-11 (compare Mt 5:5 & Rev 21:3,4)

The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

So what's stopping you?

Edit:(Sorry I kind of skimmed over the question the first time around) Well, for one you seem to be doubtful of what it takes to get into heaven in the first place (even though you may have already been told what the requirements are). Second, if you're doubting what others have told you, why would these answer be of any more value (for they too, are just single out of many opinions). And Thirdly, to be quite honest with you, doesn't the Bible say that only (your) god will know who will enter the kingdom?

there must be a diference between the world and the church.

yes, there is forgiveness for sins when we fail, but God knows
whether or not your really trying and repenting or if your going
though the motions, under some feel good idea...

trust me there will be lots of "good" people in hell...becuase hell
will be filled with those that are deliberate in thier sins and those
that are "decieved" in thier sins...which will inlcude alot of "good"
people...

it matters what you say to the atonement of your sin through God the son, Jesus Christ... He is the only way to heaven, lest any man should boast and say that they got there on their own goodness, which isn't goodness in the sight of a holy and righteous God, for He cannot overlook sin, that is why His love sent Jesus into the world to take our place under the wrath of God. all sin will be judged, but blessed are you if you are in Christ, because God will not impune sin on you. your faith in Him is counted for righteousness, and He is your ticket to heaven.

i am not the same religion as you but i suggest that yes if you are a good person and you have a good heart and try your best to do what is right you'll have a shot to get into heaven.

You need to accept that you have sinned. "If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus if Lord, you shall be saved." Doing good works isn't enough. You need both faith and good deeds. "As the body without the soul is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."
