What do you do if you think you might do the same sin you have done in the past?

[Anonymous]

I believe all of us did something bad even when we are still kids. But is there something bad you have done, and after doing that you decided not to do it again? What do you do when you think you might do the same sin you did before?

The way you approach it matters. Firstly, in line with God's will, we must pray continuously about our needs to our heavenly father. You will want to do this first before you repeat the sin. Try not to create a situation that might put the temptation of that sin in front of you unnecessarily. Be assured if you have repented before and taken steps to avoid the sin, but sin again due to imperfection, that all is not lost. Proverbs 24:6 tells us that a righteous one may fall seven times but still get up.
Also, if you need additional help, talk to a mature friend or older one in the congregation. They can pray for you, as well as give you advice. Finally, you can visit www.jw.org and search the online library for articles about whatever subject you need help with.

Be aware that if you do nothing, sin will win everytime. If you put up a fight by training yourself to think God's thoughts, he will give you his spirit and you will not carry out any fleshly desire.

In the words of the late Sean Lock, I ignore the voices in my head and carry on killing ;)

what do you mean?

It was just a joke, Sean Lock was a comedian.

Only religion uses terms like sin which is very different to what is immoral which is what you should be concerning yourself with as there is absolutely no evidence to support any of the claims made by religion.

If you want to learn about morality then anarchism would be a good place to start.

My freedom ends where yours begins.

This is what religion is about. We can't completely avoid sins (because everyone makes mistakes) but you can limit it.

[jahaims]

Not worry about it because sin is made up

[Wise4myage]

Ask for forgiveness.

[Wise4myage]

Just be strong and use self discipline.

It's easy to say but it's hard to do. But... yeah. Maybe I'll try to get away from the things that may lead me to do the bad things I did before. Thank you! You must be really wise, it's not the first time you gave an opinion to me. Thank you again! I hope you live a great and happy life!

[Wise4myage]

Thank you. Its always best to steer yourself away from things that you know aren't healthy for you.

What do u mean

[Asker]

for example, when yoi were a kid you stole a money from your parent to nuy your favorite thing. And after realizing how bad it was, you told yourseft that you will never do it again and apologized for doing it. But, when you get older, you got bored and want to have this thing. And you thought about stealing again, which you knew you said to yourself not to do it again. That's what I mean. But again, it's just an example.
