All right, guys. Please answer my question that is very important, which is very close to my dear heart. That worries me a lot ever since I've read the book two days ago. It's something that I have to answer to learn about ten commandments and seven deadly sins. So far, I've broken only two commandments, that is Lie and Steal. I've lied dozens of times before in my life. And I've stolen a valuable items that I really want to keep it. Now I've regretted of broke them. About Seven deadly sins, I haven't broken all of them, luckily! I lack greed and pride thus far. But, still, I have to ask, my christian brothers and sister, am I doomed to hell for all eternity? Am I going to hell for broke only two commandments? What should I do? :smt085
Are you serious? Relax, the only way you'll go to hell is if you don't believe in God or if you kill yourself. Other then that you can do whatever you want and still get a ticket.
There's a little more to it than that if I understand correctly, depending on how devout you are. You are asking for forgiveness, but the important part is that you repent for your sins. If you are genuinely seriously concerned, then you should consult with the leader of your church/prayer group/etc. However if you're following the basic idea that you can do what you want then ask for forgiveness, I think you're doing it wrong http://www.ehow.com/how_5898186_repent-sins.html ? I dunno if that's any good, I just googled "How to repent" xD ((I'm an atheist, btw, but I do think your church leader or whoever can help you best here))
Perhaps it's best if I talk to my church counselor about it. I want to get rid of my sins. It's something that I've wanted to do it for long time to come. Don't get me wrong, I really want to go to heaven for all of eternity. It's just that..I can't get that image out of my head when it comes to hell. I was so worried that my estranged mother may be ending up going to pit of hell for all eternity. She had lied so many times already, she told everybody about my father that he's not my father nor that I don't have a father because he's long dead. I don't think God would like that. It has already add all up to the long list of what she has done here on the earth. That means so much to me if my estranged mother had admitted of her wrongdoings, then we can work on to get her saved and repent her long-list sins, including mine as well.
Or just be a good human being and leave the sins in the past. God worrying about your "sins" is as likely as you caring about what aunts do. Think about it.
Well, looks like I'm on my way to repent my past sins very soon. It's eating me away on the inside. It's bothering me ever since last Saturday. My soul can't stop crying, just like my physical body does. And I will be working on to get my estranged mother to repent her sins as well. I love my estranged mother very much, but can't stand the idea of having god sending her to pit of hell for all of eternity. That scares me to death. Looks like I'll have to sit down with God and having the tea with him to talk it over before I die. I wish to god that he can take my worrying away. I really want to see my family up there in heaven. Must be so many family members up there waiting for me there. So does my beloved companions, my cats and my precious dog that I spend few short years with him. It's killing me not to knowing what's happening to them. :smt089 I'm sure my beloved companions are very happy running around in beautiful animal kingdom now.
.........How awe-inspiring is the faith of this man who alone saw beyond the present shame to the coming glory......................who am I taking about?
