~Don't hate the sinner~

[Krazy_4given_1]

Do you know the saying, "Don't hate the sinner, hate the sin."? I understand what it means, and I do not hate the sinner, but what my problem is I am the sinner and I cannot 'not hate the sinner'. I seem to be stuck with hating myself for something I have done. Is this normal, or after we ask God to forgive us, are we supposed to be relieved of our sin? Thank you....

Hey Kate,

God will forgive you, but he also expects you to forgive yourself. Asking God for forgiveness is supposed to take the weight of sin off of your shoulders. If you can't forgive yourself, maybe it would help to talk to someone. You can PM me if you want to talk. I hope that helps.

Kate God says we pray through jesus........... for he said iam the only way to the father, so whenever you ask for forgiviness you have to trust that the lord will forgive you for he gives you his word. believe it or not jesus prays for all of us.

As humans, we have a horrid problem of not being able to forgive each other and most of all, ourselves, for the sins we commit....this takes time, and lots of prayer...know that you ARE forgiven and that nothing can come between you and God. There have been a lot of times when I have just totally hated myself for all the cr-p I've done, but over time I eventually forgave myself for being such a doofus...but we are human, and we are good at sinning. Just keep praying...it works, I tried it last night on an issue I was dealing with.

The old person is dead once you are in Christ. You are a new person and the old is forgotten as far as the east is from the west.

2Co 5:17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

Psalms 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us.

Romans 8:1 there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in christ Jesus!!

Hi there!



It sounds as if you have trouble forgiving yourself when you do wrong. If God forgives AND forgets, you can see forgiveness and leave all the guilt there with the sin.... and just start over again.

Hi & Salaam

One cannot feel the sweetness of forgiveness unless he feels the taste of regret and repent deeply .

that's the way for not returning to do sins - especially the same sin -

i - and the most people - appreciate every one has this pure spirit .
