You can ask God to forgive you, but He must judge you and punish you the way He said He would.
Imaging walking into a courtroom in the USA. You committed a crime and are standing before the judge. Would you just ask for forgiveness and expect no punishment? Would you tell the judge that you know he's a good judge so he should forgive you? No, you would get your punishment like you should.
God is a good God and a good judge. He will do what He says, which is punish you for your sins by sending you to Hell.
BUT, let's go back to that courtroom. What if your punishment was a fine of $44,000,000,000 or life in prison? You'd go to jail, right? But what if someone paid the fine for you? Would the court allow it? Yes, they would. So it is with Jesus. He paid the fine, He went to Hell for you. All you have to do is tell God that you accept Jesus paying the fine for your sin and you will not have to be punished because He already did it.

no, if that was the case then everyone would be in hell because the only perfect human was jesus (actually 100% man and 100% god). You can ask god to forgive u but that doesnt mean.... you cuss often at will or lie whenever u want and u ask for forgivness everyday... if ur a true christian, u will sin but all the good acts will FOLLOW, and u will forgive ur sins just because u made a mistake. christian=faith not faith and works. if u believe and TRUST in god u will be forgiven.... REMEMBER THROUGH, U DONT GO TO HEAVEN BY BELIEVING IN GOD... SATAN BELIEVES THAT GOD DIED ON THE CROSS BUT HES IN HELL, its by trusting in him and knowing him
to answer ur question, yes god will forgive u, but u have to be saved (born again)

Show a person who has not lied, done anything wrong or cursed.
God forgives all things but not the same actions over and over.

The only way that a person goes to hell (lives eternity in total separation from God), is if they do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from our sins. Forgiveness is yours for the asking, if you are a believer and have asked him in your life. And just a note: When you speak of our divine Lord, you spell God with a capital G. A small 'g' does not refer to our Savior and Lord God. Ok. God bless.

You can be forgiven of you sin under this condition:
You recognized you have errors
You should an attitudes of repentance
you recognized that forgiveness come from Jehovah through Jesus Christ. You can pray silently in your room or any place and Jehovah God will answer you prayers. As long it is an heart-felt prayers

Yeah. We've already been forgiven but you're still supposed to repent of your sins. Its like God washes you clean of all your sins and he sees no sin when he looks at u, but you always are supposed to ask for God's forgiveness.

Yes, you can always repent, until you're dead. God will forgive us if we just ask. If we repent of our sins,strive to live a holy life, enduring to the end, the same shall be saved.

Of course you can ask God to forgive you. Read the new testament in the Holy bible (New American Standard version).

No, you won't go to hell for those things if you are saved or born again. There is nothing you can do to lose your salvation. The word says so. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me. 28 And I give them ETERNAL life; and they shall NEVER perish; neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father who gave them to me is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hands. 30 I and my Father are one.
So if the Father is greater than all, then that scripture is saying that no man or woman can pluck themselves out of God's hands. We can't do anything to lose our salvation. Even if we lie etc....... If we could be snatched out of Gods hands just by sinning after we gained eternal life then we could say we are more powerful then God. But we are not more powerful then the blood that bought us for eternity.
