    Do you believe that God will forgive your sins just by asking for forgiveness and so on for the rest of your life?
    In other words:
    You commit a sin and ask for forgiveness. You believe that your sin is forgiven and then again you commit the same sin consciously and a few others and ask for forgiveness believing they will be forgiven, Then again continue committing sins knowingly your behavior is not in accordance with God's laws, but anyway you commit them believing He will be forever keep forgiving you no matter how much sins you have committed. Do you believe in this?

    To repent is easy, but to reform is hard. I think forgiveness is for changing your bad habits so that you will not need to ask for forgiveness in the future, to be happy doing good, having purified your actions.

    If you know you are doing something which is not good, you should change yourself.

    As a Tibetan rinpoche said: "God will forgive you, like in the great parable of prodigal son, but can you forgive yourself?"

    My understanding is that God is absolutely just. He will forgive you, but you have to stop sinning, otherwise you will end up with more Karma. And Karma is the spiritual "balance" - Positive or negative. It will be unfair for example if you cheat people for any reason, and before going to bed to ask God for forgiveness and tomorrow going on again with cheating. This logic of just asking for forgiveness and getting it forever without changing your ways I don't buy it.

    When thousands of crusaders killed millions of people in God and Jesus's name they were told all their sins would be forgiven. Thousands of people had committed horrible sins but based on how many years you stayed as crusader your sins would be vanished.

    I think that god will forgive all of our sins based only on the knowledge of true forgiveness and changing what lives we once had. Alot of people do not believe in the devil.

    To reach the Everlasting requires acceptance not forgiveness.

    A sin is an act that violates a known moral rule. The term sin may also refer to the state of having committed such a violation. Google it.

    Page I: The religion - The only commandment from the Creator is to seek remittance for salvation.

    As Columbus crossed the void to find land on the other side so also is there the Everlasting for those who successfully cross their conscious void and find on the other side the "Outerworld of the Everlasting".

    I will answer it, but some other time. Your question looks simple, but it is not. It will take me too much time which I don't have right now.
    One simple answer is "Disobeying God" is a sin.

    The ironic thing is this god of theirs will forgive people who rape children, who murder the aged, who commit any imaginable act of absolute horror and allow them in to heaven. According to Matthew every sin is forgivable. But people like me, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Ricky Gervais, people who actually care for their fellow man, have no chance of getting in to imaginary death world. By committing "blasphemy" against "the holy spirit" you have committed an unforgivable sin.

    What a disgusting and self-obsessed character their god is.

    The extreme is plausible but extremely implausible and forgiveness is not a solution - Remittance is to the Everlasting not to Heaven.

    The "Outerworld of the Everlasting" is secular - outside your corps is what Atheist seem unwilling to realize.

    According to the bible admittance to the bible is not based on your actions, it's based on whether you believe in jesus or not. Hitler is in heaven, Einstein isn't (according to christianity).

    Well, the Edenist do not believe the Christian Bible and think it as phony as your criticism of it would lead us seemingly to be in agreement with.

    Expelled or simply to Fend for Ourselves as a true choice to learn Life's meaning the Creator commands Mankind now to discover for himself the key for admission to the Everlasting that was once given.

    The Everlasting is secular to the persuasion of its requirements (God) and for anyone who is able to find it - Heaven is for Immortality not necessary for the Everlasting where death is still possible.

    The Christian Bible is a contradiction to the original (sensible) decree of the Almighty, remission - as well as a false worship in the Saint Jesus as anything more than a Saint.

    God is like a human too. If you keep disobeying consciously, then hes done with you. Just like a boss that will kick you out his company's vicinity.
