can all sins be forgiven without praying for forgiveness?

Question

is there a difference between intentional and unintentional sins?

Answer 1

every sin has to be intentional, except little kids who are automaitcally forgiven. You aren't automatically forgiven, you have to pray for it and admit that you did it (confess) and try your best not to do it again

Answer 2

It is not a sin if whatever you did was unintentional. You must mean to do wrong to commit a sin. Accidents are not sins because there is no intent to do wrong. However, you cannot be forgiven without asking for it. God wants you to repent. He doesn't need it, but you do. If you are asking if you can be forgiven all your sins, even the ones you are not aware of, which is different than unintentionally doing something, than, yes, if you repent, God will take care of the little things you don't mention.

Answer 3

Humble yourself & confess your sins, asking for forgiveness before you can be forgiven. Make no mistake, confession directly to the Lord is necessary for salvation. We must be prepared, not knowing what tomorrow holds . ~~~~

Yes there is a difference between intentional & unintentional sins & good old common sense tells me what is right & what is wrong. There lies the difference.~~~~

Answer 4

If you are in Christ ,the sin issue is settled.The Jews had sacrifices for unintentional or unknown sins,trying to cover all bases.Christ is our deliverer from sin once and for all. Sometimes it is good even though we have been washed of our sins ,to go back to God and just wash up a little and say "Please God forgive me for my sins and trespasses and sins of ignorance and ommitance and things we just didn't know about".
We all sin everyday even if we won't admit it or are just ignorant of it.God knows that.He wants us saved not the other way around.Don't let it bother you too much.

Answer 5

There is even the sin of omission which is an intentional sin. Sin is offending God. If you can not face God alone you can also ask another to help you make this leap to ask for forgiveness.

Answer 6

Hon, You can NOT be help responsible for that you have no knowledge of. Thus Mentally disabled folks and all children do NOT sin. They have no idea what it is. God will NEVER hold anything against you that you did not KNOW was a sin.. He loves you and knows you..

You don`t become a brain surgeon, or a race car driver, or a Chef by reading one book. It takes time. We are not perfect. We will never be perfect. God doesn`t require perfection. He never asked for us to be perfect.

Answer 7

definitely there is a big difference. Yes you can inadvertently sin, just as you can inadvertently commit a crime (think about a person who drives and pulls in front of another car, killing a passenger in another vehicle).

But, I think that all sin can be forgiven, But, asking forgiveness allows you to receive God's pardon, grace and peace.

Answer 8

Yes, ignorance covers a lot of sin since we are unaware as to our faults.
However, once we become aware of our sins we cannot use ignorance as an excuse.
After the latter occurrs we are held responsible for our sins until we pray for forgiveness.

Answer 9

yes there is a big difference between intentional and unintentional sins.

Answer 10

God's Infinite Mercy

[39:53] Proclaim: "O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful."

[39:54] You shall obey your Lord, and submit to Him totally, before the retribution overtakes you; then you cannot be helped.

[39:55] And follow the best path that is pointed out for you by your Lord, before the retribution overtakes you suddenly when you least expect it.

Repentance

[4:17] Repentance is acceptable by GOD from those who fall in sin out of ignorance, then repent immediately thereafter. GOD redeems them. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.

[4:18] Not acceptable is the repentance of those who commit sins until death comes to them, then say, "Now I repent." Nor is it acceptable from those who die as disbelievers. For these, we have prepared a painful retribution.

The Unforgivable Sin

[4:48] GOD does not forgive idolatry, but He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who sets up idols beside GOD, has forged a horrendous offense.
