If you ask Jesus to forgive your sins, He will forgive them - time and again. Believing that Jesus is your savior will keep you out of Hell. That doesn't mean that you are home free. All of us will stand before Jesus for an accounting of our lives. I agree with Judicial review that you need to be with Christian people, get involved in a church, and stay busy. Pray for the wisdom and strength to get beyond this sin. Your prayers will be answered. Good luck.
Yes sins will be forgiven by asking for it, but you have to mean it too. I remember going to a Catholic church when I was a kid for a couple years and I watched these people go to confession, get a clean soul and then go right back out and do it all again the next week. Then the next week they would be back in the confessional asking forgiveness for the exact same things they asked forgiveness for the last week.
I have already gone on record as saying this topic that Ninja has brought up isn't a problem (although I am in the minority one that one), but if someone is going to take that path you can't have a daily wank in the shower and then just say "sorry God" while you are taking a shave and call it good. You have to mean it.
No you didn't see that. And if you think I'm calling you a liar, you're right. In fact, those of us who regularly go to confession make a much stronger effort to live the devout life because confession involves repentance and penance, doing something positive to regain footing on the path of righteousness. One does not go through that if they aren't sincere and those who intend to live a life of unbridled indulgence in sin don't go to confession.
So let's please stop with the lies.
