forgiveness

hello I am a follower of Christ. I believe that Christian should answer truthfully. If we are giving advice it should be Biblical. I am involved in Prison ministries. I believe that life with Jesus is about Fresh Starts Second Chances. God forgive me and I have to forgive others. I believe...

I’m in complete and utter despair and ruin. I’m pretty sure that my life is ruin. I was raised in a Christian home. Claimed to be a Christ follower my whole life and felt like I was. I have struggled with my sexual sin most of my life. When I was younger it was masturbation and occasionally...

Jesus said that more than once that if we do not forgive others, we will not be forgiven. My question is this. Does this make forgiveness conditional? Does it mean we do not have to be forgiven of sins to be saved if we choose not to forgive those who sin against us? What do various ones of...

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 ESV From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. A...

Psalm 150:6 Let everything alive give praises to the Lord! You Praise Him! Hallelujah!

Please pray that my sisters Veronica and Monique would come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and that they would forgive and reconcile with each other as they're not on speaking terms right now.In Jesus name.Amen

John 8:1-6a ESV But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him...

In the past, it's been three years now, and I was much much younger in maturity (I am still a teen), some friends and I committed a crime multiple times and finally got caught then paid the price; this was before I was born again. Now I am born again and the guilt is eating me away because of...

Hello all, I am sure that you guys at this forum get a ton of these a day. However, if anyone can just take a minute to read this, and pray, that would help me more than you guys know. I will be brief. I am a Christian, non denominational, Jesus Christ is my Lord and my God. I am a 23 year...

"Reconnect To Love" Let me pause To Think and ponder Seek the truth Smile and wander Do sins define me No they don't Will a frown lead me No, it won't So let me Allow my mind to Freely see The lies that stole A part of me Smile with courage Pause, reflect Let go unselfishly To loved ones -...

When I blow it – God longs to quickly restore me God’s door – it’s always open to me When I’m: -Seething with anger, resentment and unforgiveness, or -Wallowing in self-pity and seeking sympathy, or -Pouting with pride and self-justification, or -Overcome with guilt and self-loathing...

Romans 14:1-4 ESV As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the...

Hi, I have severe OCD, tourettes and other problems and I get bad thoughts sometimes. I feel bad because I was scared that I said a bad word (which I didn't) but I was obsessing over it and the word actually formed in my head and I thought a horrible thought about someone I truly care for. I...

My walk-in faith took a turn when I was 52 years old, just after the death of my only child. I was living my life as a “normal person” or so I thought. In my younger years I believed we were good old boys, worked hard, played hard, drank hard, dishonest at times, had some hatred and anger but it...

So for a long time now I've felt so down, tortured even. I was raised a Christian, but after high-school I stopped going to church and didn't have much of a relationship with God. I didn't stop believing, but I felt like I was becoming more distant. I met my wife, got married, got a good job and...

More Bible --- less traditions of man. In the actual Bible we are told to confess our sins to God - because only God can forgive sins. "IF anyone sins we have an advocate with the Father - Jesus Christ the righteous" 1 John 2:1 "there is ONE mediator between God and man - the man Christ...

So I have shared portions of my story in a couple of places on here but I want to start a thread to get my thoughts out there and get some feedback. I am a 24 year old male. I have committed a couple of acts of adultery against my wife and God. About 3 months ago an inappropriate friendship (I...

Hi, I have severe OCD (OCD is an obsession of irrational thoughts), anyway, I am very afraid God won't forgive me because I get so terribly afraid if I really committed a sin or not. For instance, my brother used to have a Gameboy and I worry if I broke it along time ago. He doesn't talk about...
