And u agreed

I don't need to go to church anymore when I ve a religious wife like you... abi nor be so

bright007:
I agree with everything you wrote except the part where you have to confess your sins to your fellow man.

That principle has been abolished since Jesus Christ died for us and became our saviour.

Jesus is now our only mediator, hence if you feel the need to genuinely repent of your sins, confess to Jesus only and you are forgiven.

Confessing to man is a false principle

Seriously, i am suffering in silence and it is the height of it. Even if i claimed to be a christian, i have alot of secret sins that i have kept from my family long ago. And it is getting to the point that i might do something unusual like committing a suicide right in my room. And if i do, i will still go to hell. This feeling is killing me slowly. I can't even sleep at night. I know I am no saint. I just wish i never come into existence.

What's a sin?
A sin is what goes against Man's stipulated laws.

What do I mean by that?
It's man that decides what's is sin or not.

Examples?
1. When a soldier kill hundreds of people, it's no sin because they're trained to kill, but when a civilian kills one person, he's threatened to have sinned against God because no one authorised him.

2. When a Chinese have sex with your brother/ sister, it's no sin because they, men approve it, but when you have sex here with your sister, it's a taboo and sin against God because we don't approve it.

3. When Chinese abort a child after the first it's no sin because law approves it but when you do same, you have sinned against God because we condemn it.

4 When you do a blood transfusion, it's no sin but when a Jehova Witness do same, he has sinned against God because their doctrine is against it.

5. When Muslims destroys bible, it's no sin because there religion supports it but when a Christian do same he has sinned against God.

6. When you smoke paper it's no sin because no one condemns it, but when you smoke weed it because sin because laws condemn it.

7. When same sex marry in UK, it's no sin because law approves it but when you do same here, you have sinned against God because we condemn it.

8. When a Christian wife goes to church, it's no sin because we approve it but when a Muslim wife goes to mosque, it's a sin because they condemn it.

9. When children goes to church, it's no sin because we approve it but when Chinese children goes to church it's a sin because they condemn it.

10. When we have sex married it's no sin because we approve it but when we have sex unmarried it's sin because we condemn it.

I can keep going on and on. But what am I trying to say, no one knows the mind of God based on what's sin or what's not sin.

In a nutshell, sin is what goes against Man's stipulated laws.

I will keep trying with the help of God.

The text on which the whole write-up is based is taken out of context.

The previous verses before it reveal it was actually referring to those under the law before the death of Jesus Christ.

See

Romans 2:11-16
[11]For there is no respect of persons with God.
[12]For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13](For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14]For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
[15]Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

[16]In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

For anybody who is born again or in Christ, there is no requirement to obey the law.

Romans 3:19-22
[19]Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
[20]Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

[21]But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
[22]Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:


Romans 4:13-15
[13]For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
[14]For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
[15]Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Galatians 2:21
[21]I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.


Righteousness, in the new testament is by faith. The Christian is not under any threat of judgement. He is not condemned.

Romans 8:1-2
[1]There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[2]For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The Christian has had his sins paid for. He cannot be condemned to hell.

Ephesians 1:4-6
[4]According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
[5]Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
[6]To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Colossians 1:12-14
[12]Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
[13]Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
[14]In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:


What happens when he sins?

1 John 2:1
[1]My like children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

The man in Christ is not judged. He is forgiven when he sins.

i am not a xtain but
The ideology behind confessing your sin to a human before you can be forgiven is a false and most illogical statement preached by some people.. Your sin is your sin and its between you and your creator..
All you need to do now is stay in a quiet place, ask God for forgiveness and promise to never go back to it... Then you re forgiven, thats the only criteria to earn God's forgiveness as long as you regret those deeds of urs... Then forgiveness is yours..just have faith in God and dont be too paranoid of ur sins.
Remember the parable of the progidal son Jesus told...
The boy misbehaved when he realized and regrets his deeds, he went back home and his father forgave him instantly... Thats how God works

Thanks for your encouraging words. It means alot to me. But the thing is i am very emotional and i find it hard to let go of my past wayward life cos it is hunting me anytime i remember such.

piagetskinner:
start by telling it to a very trusted and calm member of your family who will handle it with maturity(mom or dad or elder sibling).. or ur pastor..someone respectable who will not blow the trumpet of ur past to others

I found that telling my past to others made it seem like a heavy load had been taken off my shoulders... and you know what.?.the more you tell it, the less interested you are in that sin

EmpressT:
Hmm...my dear, i have been trying to tell either my close pastor or my dad. But my dad seems not to forgive infact he might even disown me being his daughter cos he has made a strict statement that anyone among his children who goes astray will see his wrath and that could be the end of my relationship with him. I have been hoping that when the time comes for me to chose a good man, i will tell him all that transpires in my life without my family knowing.

harbjar:
The truth is there is no quick magic or a delete button to press that will remove your past but....
Here is the trick, accept your past as part of humanely side and you have once commited a error butnow back on path, be strong and accept who you were and dont allow satan toil with you and your feelings.. that's what he does, make you feel pain and regrets then force you into depression
As long as you have repented and never going back... Be happy and let the thought of God forgiving you overwhelm you over being depressed at what's past... woth tine you will heal

piagetskinner:
hmm..may the holy spirit direct you accordingly...
always remember you are forgiven in Christ, he loves you too dearly,don't let the devil tell you otherwise..Infact ignore his stupid comments..rebuke his thoughts

he is the accuser of brethren..
whosoever Christ has set free is free indeed

That says a lot about your state. No qualms.
