Can I be forgiven?

[Anonymous]

i am pursuing religion now and have repented several times but now i am sticking to it and actually connecting with jesus and have accepted him as my lord and savior several times mainly cause i feel that i have to to keep doing it cause u sin again but recently i have had a good streak and i am even fasting to prove to Jesus that i mean what i say i pray often and imagine myself speaking with jesus but i have a main worry in the past i have gotten angry and cursed god and even called him names and insulted him when i was in a dark part of my life such as insults against jesus, god, and even mary i feel terrible for it now and i am worried can i be forgiven for this or is it a sin that jesus cannot forgive i want to be saved and show my love for god but i and worried if my past indeed will catch up to me in this instance

Have you ever read the Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan? It’s about a sojourner named Christian and his journey to the Celestial City. Much like our own Christian pilgrimage, his journey is not without trouble, and one of the first things he stumbles across is called the Swamp of Despond.

The reason I bring this up is because your situation is just as familiar. The word despondent means to “be in low spirits from a lack of hope or courage” It comes from being aware of our sins and the guilt we feel because of them. It’s one of the many ways Satan causes a person to stumble.

The devil is in the habit of whispering all sorts of lies in our ears:

“Others have been saved but they were not so bad as you.”

“You lost your chance to repent!”

“God would never want you.”

“If you believe salvation is true, why are you still sinning?”

By this means, many have become stuck in the Swamp of Despond, believing in the power of Jesus Christ to save but doubting His ability to save them. This is a temptation. An invitation to put faith in the power of your sins instead of in the power of the Jesus Christ to rescue you from them. But Jesus is greater than the sins we bear– no matter how great that may be – and He is faithful to send help.

Depends on your sect. Some adhere to the fact that the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the lord. Most tend to ignore it or change that outright.

Of course you can.

If I may, I'll recommend that you actually look into becoming a Catholic (assuming you're not already; I'll hazard not). For one thing, you're already doing things that are common in more traditional circles of Catholicism. Things like fasting, penance, and others are practiced quite frequently.

And for another, the Catholic Church offers the Sacrament of Confession. In Confession, you examine your conscience, confess your sins to the priest, who then gives you absolution through the authority and ministry of the Church. After you are absolved, you may have to do a penance, but then you make a firm resolution to amend your life and go forward.

It's not for us to decide whether we're forgiven for our sins or not. Only God, Jesus and the Holy spirit can decide that. This guilt you feel, remember it well because you will carry it to your death.
To prove that you are worthy of forgiveness you must live a life of virtue, a life of hardship. Sinning is easy whereas a just life is hard. Remember that.
Earn your place in heaven by doing the right things, by following God's teachings. Prayer alone will not be enough.

Allah call all peoples for independence. Jesus is not God because God must become perfect but jesus was a normal people as we as they too eat sleep and drink. God is one and it is Allah. Jesus is a prophet. If you want find independence road learn to İslam. Everything birth is clean in İslam noboy haven't got the sin of Adam.

jesus was perfect for he was completely good and never sinned and helped everyone and spoke for his flock i firmly believe jesus is god cause what god would preach for his people to kill themselves and kill for their religion a true god who loves the life he created would preach love and peace just my opinion

Personally I consider it all to be an absolute waste of time... However Live and Let Live.

I don’t think there is such a thing as an unforgivable sin. He forgives all as best as I understand. 🙏❤️🙂

You can be forgiven, there is no sin too great for Jesus. Self-condemnation is a huge barrier for a lot of us.

Yes, of course you can be forgiven.
