Will God forgive me for bestiality I regret it a lot and I’ve done it 2 times but I asked God for forgiveness and I would like to know if I still go to heaven because i know what I did was incredibly wrong and I regret it with my life and I would do anything to take it back

Do gay people still go to heaven? And also, is there a limit of any sort like for example if you ask for forgiveness after you are dead or already in hell will God still accept you? Thanks

if I ever Be in Sex would it be a Sin, Either handjob? Would jesus Or God

Hello. Jesus and God Forgave us even tho it costed Jesus hes human Life, Im sorry Jesus that u needed to past the Hard times of Death. I Am Truly sorry :(

I’m a furry and I read furries will not enter the gates of heaven. Is that true? I’m not gay or anything and I’m not into the perverted stuff that is in the fandom.

Yes I have. Thank you stranger.

Would I go to hell for having sex with an animal? It was not penetrative if that makes a difference. Yes, I am very sorry, I have not done it ever since, perhaps maybe you could give me some guidance?

OMG I’m so sorry! I didn’t know I posted that a bunch of times!!!

[expletive removed] I sinned and now I'm gonna live in a fiery hell hole. Ahhhh I'm gonna be there forever. Fear guilt guilt guilt. [expletive removed] religion. It's stupid. It controls your life. If God was so powerful he'd come out and prove himself that he exists.. Oh no I'm rude and I'll go to hell. Ahhhh!!! but wait... God always forgives so I'll sin more. Lolol

My friend thought it would be funny to rip up the Bible and chew it. I told her to stop but she wouldn’t listen. What should I do?

I know it’s disgusting but I committed a very bad sin. I read in the Bible that I shall be put to death as well as the animal. Will god forgive me? It’s been months since I’ve committed that sin and I can’t help but cry every time I think about it. Will I go to hell because of that sin?

God sucks.

Hi, My name is Luke and I am writing with a lot of pain right now because I wrote on this same exact forum last year. If you search in the previous comments, you will see a Luke talking to Tom and flower. That is me, now reporting on what is currently happening in my life and looking for help and advice. If you read my initial comment, I tell my story of how I grew up in an evangelical family and, since sixth grade, have masturbated to gay porn every single day. When I was in high school, I sincerely tried to change and looked to God for help however, I got into a pattern of completing that sin, and others throughout the day, and then asking God for forgiveness every night. I did that repeatedly for years and eventually, I cried one night because I could not stand that I was doing that. I truly want to be a believer and practice what Jesus preaches. So, I found this article last year and I read through it as well as some of the comments and saw that people were also in a way going through the same issues I was going through. However, there were no comments that I could find that seemed to have it as severe as what I had been doing. People commented telling me that I truly wasn't born again and that I needed to change and get more involved in church and talk to somebody and do a lot of other things. After a few days, I talked to a person from this website through a private chat forum and we talked for over two hours. The lady was super nice and tried to help me and, in a way she did. I got on the floor that night and cried, asked for God's help and forgiveness and I truly felt different. I began reading the Bible more and I felt rejuvenated. I stopped swearing and masturbating and I even came back on here and said I was going to be baptized. However, after one week, I slipped back into the habit of everything again. I never got baptized but I still wanted to fight hard to end my evil ways. I continued to read my Bible every day (reading a chapter from the New Testament every day), I talked to the Head Counseling Pastor at a nearby evangelical church that is an excellent church, and I blocked every porn site. However, even after all of this, I have not changed. I eventually stopped reading the New Testament (I went from Matthew all the way to Titus before stopping), I began swearing more and masturbating more (finding a way to break through the blocker) yet still, every night I would ask God for forgiveness. The prayer would range from a ten minute prayer to a quick ten second "Forgive me, Father." I don't know what to do anymore. It appears that I have tried all roads and yet, I end up back where I started. I am tired of doing this and I don't know what to do. My questions to you are: Have I been saved? Am I truly born again or no? Has God given up on me? Please Help. Luke

I mean no malice or discontent with this concept, or any others. I'm just trying to understand. Based on what I have read in this article, there is no limit to the amount of forgiveness God can provide to us . . . but this raises the question of the need for Hell. If there is no limit to God's forgiveness, what is it that ends up carrying souls to Hell? Is it the amount or nature of that person's sin, the continued commitment to sin, or the lack of desire to seek forgiveness? I don't understand, and I would love to here some viewpoints on this.

I am sorry, but I don't believe in some of this. I believe that God forgives, but I believe grace can run out. Yes, Jesus did die on the cross for all of our sins and if we believe he will forgive us. However, eventually if we keep doing some sin over and over and over again, I believe he will just turn away from us and we will go to Hell. I think it is nearly impossible/very hard to get to Heaven because of that. What if you turn from some sin but can't from other sins? I just don't believe getting to Heaven can be "so easy" as people let on. I don't believe in doing works to go to Heaven, but it is nice to do works anyways. I do believe in Jesus and I pray for forgiveness everyday, but most times I feel it's worthless if we keep doing the same sin over again. I love Jesus, but sometimes that sin keeps on creeping in and I can't help but stay in it no matter how long I pray for him to help me out.

I do believe everything this article says about Gods forgiveness, but what about when Jesus warned in Matthew‬ ‭5:27-29‬ “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” If forgiveness is that simple why warn like this?

good article and thank you all on who comment on this site God bless you all

to Santhra amen to your comment God is an awesome God HIS creation is HIS splendor. sharon

Bro.B, it comes down to Do you love Jesus more than you love your fleshly desires? There is always a price to pay in keeping a commitment. Jesus paid that price with His own blood because He loved you so much. The Bible tells us in Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Bro.B, Paul gives you the answer to your question in 1 Corinthians 7:9, "...if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion."

shalom, thanks a lot for inspiring speeches you make, am a born again christian and i real love Jesus also God has blessed me with different talents and abilities to serve his purpose but i want to know how may i overcome romantic behavior which disturbs me often times and make me feel that am empty and worthless and i can not be forgiven, i real need a help in this case because i love Jesus and i want to serve him in truth and spirit.

Tina-- If you are referring to the mark of the beast as described in Revelation, no. Taking the mark is complete denial of Jesus Christ, the sin of unbelief, and alliance with the Anti-Christ and Satan.

What about if you take the mark....can that be forgiven

Humble— Be assured that God will always forgive a truly repentant sinner. However, the person who continues to willfully sin after making some profession of faith should carefully examine themselves to make sure they are really saved. For example, does it make sense to you that someone who has trusted in Jesus Christ to save them would continue to disobey him and willfully sin? Since the saved person is a new creation in Christ, having the old things put away and being changed by the Lord from the inside out, does it make sense to you that they would continue to live in the old, sinful ways while ignoring the Holy Spirit that dwells within each believer? Granted, all believers will sin from time to time; but they don't make a habit of it. Let me ask you Humble, how do you know you have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ?

Does God take away the gifts He blessed you with when you always backslide? I'm scared that God will never forgive me

Thank you, Elkay, for that tribute; but God gets all the credit. Yes, we must want to, but without the power, wisdom and love from God (that follows forgiveness) we will go now-where. Blessings.

John Kennedy-- You say you came to know the Lord in 1978. Would you mind sharing the particulars?

I came to know the Lord,in 1978,in a coffee shop,in Farmington NM. I struggled in my flesh ,and was a backslider,in the worse way. When I was serving the Lord,wittnessing passing out tracks,pleading in the blood of Jesus to gather sinners to the thrown of glory. But backslid &was in & out,not having no real conviction in my walk with the Lord relationship I'm lost please pray for me

our god is an awesome god...........

Alfred, thank you so much for your testimony to the love, forgiveness and strength of God. Without a doubt, Bible-reading in the morning is a blessed way to begin each day anew. I am reminded of what Paul says at Ephesians 5:25, "We know He gave Himself up completely to make her (His church) His own, washing her clean of all her impurity with water and the powerful presence of His word". (Voice) It is Scripture that is powerfully able to cleanse us and bring us into the presence of the Lord where we can "Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!" (1 Chron 16:29c) Your experience is a welcome confirmation of these truths. Again, thank you!

I really appreciate you all for the words of encouragement... Lord I thank you because you have forgiven me... You are kind o Lord..

There are actually several great videos in the site that M..Jantzen has given us. They speak to the heart. This can make a person believe that overcoming an addiction is possible with God! And it actually is. For most of my life I've been fighting a sexual addiction, and too often in my own strength (weakness). It seems to me now, that the answer lies in staying so close to God and in being so involved in important things in life that thoughts of sex are pushed far into the background. Part of what helps me in this is to spend a good half-hour in Bible reading & prayer each morning. My prayer often begins with praise & thanksgiving, then worship, followed by silence as I behold His holiness. In contrast, I see my smallness and ask for forgiveness for my failures, and for the Spirit to control my thoughts and to schedule my day. Sometimes, in spite of all good intentions, I fail. That is when I know the devil needs to be told to get out. Sometimes put on the full armor of God according to Eph.6:11-18, for we were never meant to "go it alone". God is our strength, our protector, and will make a way of escape for us to get away from sinning. HE who is within me is greater than he who is in the world.

Hi Hello, This is the most inspiring and freeing speech I've ever heard on the topic of freedom from porn. It's only a few minutes long. I'd encourage you to watch it and really receive it's truth into your heart: https://thelife.com/challen... Take care.

Hello, Just wanted to leave you a few great scriptures to remember. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 2 Cor 3:6 Our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Romans 5:20 More over the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. 1 Cor 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

Thank you's all for helping me so much! You to cherly! I have to get into God presence and stay there and understand that it is lies that the devil is telling me, that God won't forgive me and I have lost salvation, in order for me to give up on Jesus. I don't fall into temptation everyday. It's more of a every other month thing. So I Can and WILL overcome it. Once again thanks yous all! GOD Bless yous and your family!

Hello Tom offers you some good practical advice but I would add to lean on the HOLY SPIRIT and not your flesh, let Him reveal the root of the addiction. If it is a pornography addiction the root may be that you are not intimately connected with others because you are afraid of being vulnerable and so people addicted to porn try to get satisfaction with out intimacy and this is not the way GOD designed us. If you don't get to the root of the problem it will just spring back up somewhere else as people can then just trade one addiction for the next. GOD is not condemning you if you are in CHRIST, He wants to help you, so don't be afraid to talk to HIM about it. Be honest with HIM. HE already sees and knows as nothing is hidden from HIM. We reign over our addictions when we let HIS life reign in us.

Hello-- You really need to be proactive in taking measures to reduce the temptation. Remember 1 Cor. 10:13? God has already made a way for you to escape. Here are a few steps to take: Let's start with this--If you are really serious about dealing with this problem, then you must first remove any and all opportunities to view it. Add an internet security program to your desktop or laptop computer which will prohibit access to such materials. Do the same for your phone. Here are some sources: (I believe they're still operational) Web Guard is one such source. http://www.afo.net Restoration is another. http://www.restorationpath.org Watch http://x3watch.com Here are some other tools for you to peruse to get you started in the right direction: Jericho http://jerichoventures.com Get and read "Every Man's Battle" by Stephen Arterburn. You can find it at https://www.christianbook.c... as well as any Christian bookstore. Check out Philippians 4:8 and tell me what it says to you. Search the scriptures (you can use a commentary) to find passages on lust. Start memorizing those passages and bring them to mind whenever you are tempted. Lastly, but significantly, get into the word DAILY. And get into church where you will find support from others who have walked your path. I say again, it's time to step up.

Hi Hello! I really sense your pain and fear. Take a deep breath and know that it is by faith that we are saved and if you have put your faith in Jesus and His finished work at the cross you are saved. It is by His obedience that we are justified. Concerning the sin in your life the law tells us don't, don't, don't but the Spririt supplies. We are now under Grace and we walk in the Spirit and this is where you are having difficulty. I would encourage you to ask the LORD the root of these sins and He is faithful to help us. Also, you of course easily are given in to temptation when your spirtit is not built up. I would encourage you to read or listen to scripture and sermons to reveal Gods grace and love towards you. When we feed on the LORD and we receive HIs Grace we can not help but fall in love with Him and then wrong doing just naturally falls off. Just one example from scripture for you to meditate on tonight is in Deuterotomy 28 the last curse of the law is (I'm paraphrasing, you can look it uo) " you will be a slave in the market place but even your enemies will not buy you." This is the last curse of the law but the good new is Jesus has purchsed us and we are no longer under the law. The last supper with the disciples before Jesus would be crucified He took off His garments and gurded Himself with an apron to wash the disciples feet. Jesus looked like a servant, a slave. Peter refused that the LORD wash his feet this was something that the lowest of slaves did in the house but Jesus told him if he did not allow Him to wash his feet Peter had no part with Him. This is because Jesus became a slave in our place. He took our place so that we could be free. He not only saved you from the consequence of your sin but the power of it over your life. Fill your thoughts with His finished work for you, His love for you and as you begin to fall in love with Him those things that seemed to once add pleasure to your life will be of no use to you because your joy will be full in Him. Cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you!

Hi, yes it is that along with things one does while entertaining it. I just want reassurance from God that no,he hasn't given up on me and my sins are forgiven even when my guilt is coming from fear of not being forgiven and going to hell. And yes,sometimes I do read the Bible, I mostly read up scriptures. No I do not attend church. I have to start going again.

Hi Hello, Thanks for sharing more. Tom has given you very good things to consider. When I become tired of trying to follow Jesus, it's not because I'm tired of Him (After all, He will always be wonderful and so good); it's because I get tired of my own failings and weaknesses. Getting fed-up with one's self is not a bad place to be, though, because then you are in a place for your heart to truly surrender and begin to change. From reading your comment, it seems to me that you base some of your salvation on your performance. (you mentioned thinking God might give up on you). There is good news, brother. Jesus' performance is what makes us acceptable to God. I'd suggest that you read this article: "Stop Trying to Get Right With God." https://thelife.com/challen... and then run to Jesus, trusting in his gift of salvation and fresh starts. Take care!

Hello— You haven't stated what sort of sin you're having the most problem with. While you don't have to say, may I ask if it is pornography? If it is, there are certain other steps you might consider. My friend, you state that you are "tired, sick, ashamed, and disgusted . . ." Enough to start letting Jesus Christ have the throne of your life? Enough to start claiming the promises in his word such as 1 Cor. 10:13? Remember this: God has certainly not given up on you. He gives up on no one, even those who deny him. It's obvious he has you in a place right now where you must make some tough decisions. He isn't going to "make you" quit your sinful activities. That's your choice. I suggest you take your tired, sick, ashamed, and disgusted attitude to the Lord in prayer. Humbly lay yourself before him, not to make a deal, but to turn your whole life over to him. By the way, you didn't respond to my question about Bible reading and church attendance.

the scripture basically means "the temptations I go through, every person goes through it, and that God wont allow me to be tempted more than i can handle, and that he will provide a way for me to overcome it" But the thing is, sometimes i don't want to overcome it and am to weak and just give in to it. and i cannot even blame the devil sometimes. You ask me why I tempt myself? I would like to say that I don't know why I do it, but that is a lie, and I might be able to lie to you, but not to myself and certainly not to God and Jesus. I'd put myself into those situations believing that I can overcome it, and then when i cant id say "ill ask for forgiveness, everyone sins, David did it, long before the sacrifice of Christ, and God still forgave him. But I'm tired,sick,ashamed and disgusted by myself, and my way of thinking. i even made promises before to God (I know, i know, how stupid of me) that I'll stop, and i'd broken them (as expected). I'm worried that my heart has harden and that God has given up on me and my salvation and grace has ran out. because, i don't know if im truly remorseful when asking for forgiveness for my sin, or if im just scared of going to hell.

Hello-- Here's a PS: --Are you reading your Bible every day and seeking the Lord's will for you that day? --Are you regularly attending a solid, Bible-believing/teaching church? --Are you asking Jesus every day to help you overcome temptation? If not, then it's time to get to work!!

Hello— Temptations come from Satan, and this side of heaven, every believer will be tempted in one way or another. No believer is strong enough in and of themselves to do battle with temptation, because basically you're doing battle with Satan. However, when a person is born again spiritual by belief and faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit of God comes to indwell the believer and to take up the fight that will always win. Read this carefully and tell me what it says to you: "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." (1 Cor. 10:13). You see, it's not the size of your faith that wins out; it's the object of your faith that wins the day. As believers living with the Holy Spirit, we will still have many, many choices to make. You mention, "I put myself into those tempting situations." Why would you want to do that? For what purpose? If the object of your faith, no matter how small it may seem, is Jesus Christ, then when you are faced with a temptation he will make it obvious what you should do; RUN! After a few victories over any particular temptation, Satan will give up and seek someplace else to tempt you. And at the same time, this is in no small way what will build your faith. When you see Jesus defeating Satan, your faith in his ability to win the victories, not just over temptations to sin but sins themselves, will grow and blossom, leading you to be the man of God he wants you to be.

Thank for you responding back to me so quickly! and the answer is, YES! I believe with my mind and trust with my heart That Jesus Is Our Lord and Savior. On the committing with my life, I have relapses, which I know is my fault, because my faith is not strong enough to fight temptation, which most of the time, I put myself into those tempting situations-which I fail at. As the other person, I too sometimes don't know if I'm truly feeling remorse or guilt for certain sins, or if I'm just being shallow and afraid of not being forgiven for them.

What if I sin, and I'm not sorry I did because I feel it was the right thing to do. I know I have very little faith, but I still fear offending God. I try to live my life right; but I know that I'm lost right now and I don't know if I want to come back from being lost. I pray, but I feel like I can't be forgiven for the things I've done because I'm not sorry I did them.

I'm worried if I'm truly saved, I took the sinners prayer when i was quite young (12 or 13) but i did it for the wrong reasons (I wanted ppl to see me do it and for attention) I realize now how stupid and ignorant I was, and I'm worried that I'm not truly saved. Can God forgive me for it?
