Will God forgive me?


The question is for you to ask yourself.

If you think you need no forgiveness from God, or you think you forgive yourself and that's good enough, this discussion is not for you.  I won't be here much, it's open for comments, when I come back I am going to ban anybody who uses profanity or vulgar speech or who shows they feel they need no forgiveness from God.  Some of you perverts may be banned at the sight of your icon.  If that happens, I'll be sure to let you know about it (Lord willing).

The question is for you to ask yourself.

It is clearly not enough to just all yourself the question.

If you think you need no forgiveness from God, or you think you forgive yourself and that's good enough, this discussion is not for you.

You have described yourself and only yourself.

I won't be here much,

So, you won't be part of the discussion. ;)

it's open for comments, when I come back I am going to ban anybody who uses profanity or vulgar speech or who shows they feel they need no forgiveness from God.

You aren't a great person to judge Abby of those things.

Some of you perverts may be banned at the sight of your icon. If that happens, I'll be sure to let you know about it (Lord willing).

You are such a great Christian.

You are talking like you are drunk or on drugs here. I don't know why you bothered to comment here. Your drug or alcohol induced stupor may have prevented you from understanding the OP which clearly explains why this discussion is not for you; your presence is only a disruption and it's time to end your antics here. Thank you.

Whatever, I'd rather not talk about that again with an idiot of your level. I've already destroyed all you said here. But it is a dogmatic faith, unfounded on reason - destroying any arguments is redundant.

I shouldn't have typed even that much; you're too worthless. You know what, just ban me (I won't be looking at you reply either way, because I know that it is, as always, the fear to read me and become an atheist.)

You open with nothing but an insult, you are vulgar. You are not asking God's forgiveness so you can't have it. All you have is His mercy giving you time outside of Hell and that time is slipping away while you prate. Take it somewhere else (if God gives you more time).

I have many times admitted that none of us are perfect and we all need forgiveness, including myself. The Christian faith teaches that God will forgive any person who calls Christ their Lord.

What is happening with this progressive movement is that they want everyone to love themselves just the way they are. There is never any mention of improving ourselves and admitting our shortcomings or irresponsibility.

Progressives love the word "mistake".

When explaining the word mistake, they always include how we all make mistakes and therefore it is just a human condition and no one should feel badly over their "mistakes".

The last I knew, a mistake is when someone adds two plus three and gets six.

Making conscious decisions to have one night stands, taking illegal drugs, illegally crossing borders of nations, drinking and driving, abandoning your children, abortions, spending yourself into debt, buying things you know you can't afford, etc. etc. ARE NOT MISTAKES!

They are choices you make! Progressives refuse to speak to the irresponsibilities of these choices. These are things that they believe we need no forgiveness for.

In their no fault anything goes culture, there is nothing wrong with our choices because we are just evolved human animals.

They believe we have no control over our choices in life, just as the animals in nature live by instinct.

This is why our families today are broken and why so many children have no fathers at home.

When a Progressive ideology no longer is willing to speak to immoral choices, we as a nation are dead because no one dares shame another for their so called "mistakes". That would not be politically correct to do so. The results are a nation of people lacking the guts to tell it like it is.

WHEN TWO PEOPLE CHOOSE TO HAVE SEX WITH NO LOVE AND NO BIRTH CONTROL, THEY ARE TOTAL IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTS TAKING A CHANCE OF RUINING A CHILD'S LIFE.

Every child deserves a mother and father..... not some case worker.

Progressives are so insecure, they think it is a bad thing to shame these irresponsible choices people keep making. These so called compassionate Progressives care nothing for that fatherless child's life.

This is why we are left with constant irresponsibility from people because Progressives refuse to speak to it. That would be shaming themselves!

Progressives are great on shaming behavior they don't like such as cruelty to animals, or hunting, or not believing in global cooling, I mean global warming, I mean climate change. But when it comes to killing viable babies for any reason at any stage up till birth, they have no problem with that.

Progressives love shaming prolife people, or conservatives for our beliefs. They call us deplorable and irredeemable. They call us racists and nazi's. COMPLETE LIES!

The main thing Progressives have a problem with is people who actually try to shame this no fault anything goes culture that hurts millions of our children.

This is because they are very insecure people who can not handle personal responsibility for their choices in life.

What is happening with this progressive movement is that they want everyone to love themselves just the way they are. There is never any mention of improving ourselves and admitting our shortcomings or irresponsibility.

Actually, I think what the progressive movement has done is try to change what some people define as shortcomings. Most notably, they are concerned with circumstances outside of someone's control, like their sexuality, race, economic stability that they're born with, access to services, etc. They want to redefine these issues, which historically have been seen as shortcomings as something that should be accepted.

For example, if a person is born in a country that is then ravaged by war and they have to escape someone, progressives are then willing to forgive them coming to the country illegally because it came from necessity. This is where sanctuary cities come from: all that means is that they don't want to report an illegal immigrant to the government for a less severe crime, because they think it is unfair to punish someone simply for their circumstances.

You read into this that they also want to let people live with no consequences. I disagree.

WHEN TWO PEOPLE CHOOSE TO HAVE SEX WITH NO LOVE AND NO BIRTH CONTROL, THEY ARE TOTAL IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTS TAKING A CHANCE OF RUINING A CHILD'S LIFE.

And yet the government shouldn't teach our citizens about sex ed. Good plan.

And before you go with the "i'm ok with teaching about contraceptive use, just outside of school," that means that students are taught abstinence only in school. Which parents also oppose.

These so called compassionate Progressives care nothing for that fatherless child's life.

Show me one piece of legislation republicans have put forward meant to support low-income single parent families.

You said they don't want to report an illegal immigrant because they think it is unfair to punish someone simply for their circumstances.

This is the bleeding heart no fault anything goes mentality I speak to so often.

IT IS THEIR CHOICE AND THEIR FAULT FOR EVERY LAW THEY BREAK. You sit there like most Liberals using excuses like these illegals are escaping some terrible atroscities from their own nation.

HOGWASH! Many are gang members, drug traffikers, criminals, etc.

I'm sure some are trying to better their lives but you have no clue what their circumstances in mexico and no one has a right to break into another nation. They can go through the proper channels for legal iimigrtion.

If they are seeking asylum from atrocities in Mexico, we would look at it differently.

Refugees should have safety zones created by the do nothing United nations.

Just as with welfare, Democrats refuse to stop welfare checks to people using illegal drugs. It's the no fault Liberal ideology as always.

You will always create excuses for stealing money from hard working responsible Americans by saying that denying illegal drug users free welfare checks will not deter drug use, etc.

Even if it did not deter their illegal drug choices, IT MATTERS NOT!

We must stop punishing responsible tax payers by subsidizing criminals and people living irresponsibly. It's common sense for a nation to stand up for the good and the responsible, and shame the irresponsible and criminals.

Your's is the bleeding heart no fault mentality that CREATES MANY MORE BROKEN LIVES! You hurt far more than you help with your anything goes no fault ideology.

The way you treat people is also not a "mistake". What do you think Jesus would say if he was sitting next to you as you tell everyone how evil they are? Do you think he would be slapping you on the back with a "good job old fella"? Or do you think he would disprove?

Thank you for actually addressing one of my arguments without an insult. That deserves a response.

You ask me what I thought Jesus would say about my words towards our broken culture.

First of all, I don't call everyone evil. I seldom shame people by their names. I speak in a broad sense as with political Parties, Liberal ideology, etc.

You never hear me say Jane Doe had an abortion and therefore she is evil. I say the Democrat Party is run by extreme pro abortion politicians that support the inhumanity of even no restriction abortions for any reason at any stage.

The things I speak to are truthful, and you know it to be true, but you have been conditioned by this new age Political correct Progressive mind control to fear such honesty.

Today when a person speaks in a broad sense of immoral & irresponsible choices in life, he will be labeld a judgemental hatemonger, racist, nazi, or an array of other personal attacks such as deplorable and irredeemable.

I believe Jesus would support what I say on these debate sites because he knows I am speaking to the same issues as does the Bible. He understands I am standing up for innocent life. Jesus was once one of those unborn babies in the womb.

I don't think he would have supported the right to be drawn and quartered by these so called compassionate Progressives in the Democrat Party.

There are many verses in the Bible that speak to the same things I speak to. It says a lazy man will go hungry. You would call me hard and lacking compassion when I say these types of things.

The Bible speaks much to promiscuous sex.

I believe our nation's majority Christian faith has been taken over by this false new age political correct cult whereby God is this bleeding heart love love anything goes God, and everyone will go to heaven as long as they believe they are good.

Read the Bible and you learn that is not the case. The Bible says we have ALL fallen short of what we should be. It says our so called goodness is like rags. It says that with out faith in Christ, none of us will make it to heaven.

Yes, God is also a God of love and commands us to love one another, forgive one another, not judge one another, etc. etc. but this does not mean we should be silent when our nation is separating any mention of God from our public.

God does not want us to be silent when we legalize abortion for any reason.

He does not want us to be silent while millions of children are abandoned by their fathers or mothers.

It is not judging to speak to these issues. It is the compassionate loving thing to do to protect our most vulnerable future generations.

Would you say it was wrong to take a stand against Hilter when he was killing Jews? Do you think we were being hateful towards him when we called him evil? That issue is no different then speaking out against abortion. God would not have us be silent to inhumanity.

Here's what Jesus thinks about saying people are evil:

In Matthew 7:11, Jesus said :

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

Jesus was speaking to His disciples, calling His closest followers "evil". When I say we are evil, I think Jesus is pleased that I am in agreement with Him.

Also, Jesus named people's sins specifically and called them character names according to their sins. Jesus wants us to follow Him. He said we should expect to be hated the same as He was hated if we follow Him. I think the Lord is pleased when we agree with Him and do and say the things He would say, even when we are hated for it.

From what was written above it seems to ME that we all need to get our forgiveness from "Nowasaint", GOD's self-appointed messenger of what we can do and what we can't. Whatever happened to ..... what's it called?.... "Freedom of Religion".... in America. Kneel DOWN, folks! The master has spoken!

Dear Saintnow:

YOUR "GOD" may forgive you, after all, HE goes by YOUR interpretation of HIS (alleged) commandments (which have not been verified and are interpreted differently by other religions ... which are also un-verified). That most of those commandments were taken from other ancient religions that existed BEFORE the Abrahamic religions HAS been verified. Whom do we believe? Frankly, I'm sticking with our Constitution. THAT needs no verification to me, and it says I don't have to follow "Nowasaint's" rules! I like that.

I remain;

Your total Scumbag (and your path to hell) ;-)

Assuming the Christian God is truely the God described in the Bible I see no reason why he wouldn't forgive you. Even though you and I have had our disagreements their is no denying your devotion and will to spread the Christian God's word. I have no doubt your sins will be forgiven by your God any you will be granted the Christian paradise.

You are not asking God's forgiveness, you are implying there are many gods and God is not God, you don't belong in this discussion. I suggest you go start your own discussion, and maybe title it something like "Do the gods of sodomites enjoy my perversion and do they forgive me for defiling my body, and is their forgiveness enough to keep me out of Hell?"

My sins are all forgiven, paid for by God's own blood when He took my place and died for my sins, satisfying Himself that my debt has been fully paid so I can be set free. Heaven is my home, and because I know where I am going and who paid for me to get there, I deny myself of ungodly lusts and live soberly, righteously, godly in this present world.

You assume that you can be a sinner and be exonerated in death.......the only problem is that you can't undo the things you have done and they remain on you and will be with you forever and if you will not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, siding with Him against your sins and trusting Him as your life, your Savior, you will be a sinner forever in the only place God has for sinners, the fire of Hell which will contain and consume their hatred of God forever and testify against their will to their Creator's greatness and goodness forever. It's good to know God punishes sin and it's better to know His forgiveness through faith in the blood of His Son who gave Himself for our sins. You will keep on indulging yourself sinfully forever, won't you? You won't ask God's forgiveness and turn from your evil ways to the living God and trust Him, Jesus, as your Savior, will you? Sadly I must admit that I believe you will never get saved and you will wake up in Hell and remember these words in your torments. I think you know what you walked away from and you know you did it because you love your sin more than life and do not care where you are going like a moth flying with pleasure into the flames.

Well, pothead, you don't belong in this discussion, do you? No, you do not. Didn't you figure that out by reading the OP? You want to tell me how intelligent you are and you could not figure out from the OP what is clearly explained there : you are not qualified by your attitude for this discussion. If God gives you enough time, you might want to try to get as high as you can before you fall down to Hell because the way you are going, things are not going to get better for you.

If someone does monstrous things, yes there is actually hope for them. But... if one feels compelled to come to God and ask for forgiveness, then they have chosen a move of humility and repentence. The gospel is backwards to carnal thinking.

The Pharisees were very religious, and Christ called them the "Children of the devil".

The prostitute and the publican were not religious, and Christ said they would enter before the priests would. The thief on the cross had a defining moment when he spoke to Christ as he was dying. Saul/Paul murdered Christians, but God compelled him to stop and change. Peter cursed and was sometimes hot tempered. Christ rebuked him often, and he was changed. What you do not see are examples of any of them being "perfect people".

He will forgive you if you turn to him, humble yourself, admit you are a human of faults, and ask him to. The end.

God wants us to admit we are sinners who deserve to die and burn in Hell forever. A common heresy today is for Christians to say "I'm only human with human faults" as an excuse for their sins. Our faults are sin and evil. It's part of the grace heresy.

Also, you obviously do not belong in this conversation, that is made clear in the OP, you're just here to be a jack ass because your brother makes you ashamed of yourself.
