Why do some religious people do major sins repeatedly and then still consider themself religious?

Question

I understand we all sin and we learn from it and grow. But some keep sinning for years knowing its bad and they think they will automatically be forgiven?

Like people will cheat on their husband/wife for years, they will rape people, they will shoot people, rob people, they will make only fans content and then they think they can just get away with it automatically just by asking for forgivness and then keep doing the same thing and keep asking for forgivness?

I'm not saying people can't be forgiven i'm not God. But keep doing it knowing its bad and then just assume you can be forgiven for it every time.. seriously?

I have sinned too and im not perfect, we are all human but keep doing the same MAJOR sin is what I'm refering too.

That's like me calling myself a vegan but I eat meat every day😂

2 reasons. 1. They're human they're going to make mistakes. Giving your life to God doesn't not mean you're infallible afterwards. But 2. If it's deliberate then it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what giving your life to God means. When you're saved you supposed to want to turn from your evil ways. This is why we pray for God's guidance. Unfortunately some people determine God's will on thier own. I'll fully admit I have a hard time not considering myself God's righteous hand of justice and vengeance when I see wrong. I know it's neither wanted nor needed and that I'm acting on my own. This is a definite failing of mine and all I can say is God is working on me to control this weakness of mine.

I'm strongly agree with you 💯..

I have noticed that they even refuse to confess their mistakes.. and try to make themselves look perfect in front of society...

This is the worst kind of people..

We all have a mistakes or had it before and it will be nice to fix our mistakes and be reconciled with it...

The life is too short to keep lying about ourselves... We should show who we really are...

Nothing wrong with confessing our mistakes... And there's nothing wrong to be not vegans 😅😂

Of course you're not god, nobody is, there's no such thing as god and religion is just a costume people of low intelligence hide in when it's convenient for them. But, when they wanna lie, cheat and steal, the bible goes out the window!!
My ex-sister lives and breathes the bible! She carries a great big one around with her everywhere she goes and her hubby has long thought of himself as a kind of preacher but, about 8 years ago miss holier than thou started stealing shit from mom!! Mom had a stroke a few years before and I was taking care of her. Every time she'd get her monthly check cashed, she'd give the money to me to divide into equal piles and then had me put them into banking envelopes she had and hide those around the house so the girls couldn't find them! If my other sister cashed one of her checks, she'd run straight to the store and blow at least $100 on groceries FOR HERSELF WITHOUT asking mom if it was okay!! Mom even hid her purse from them! Miss holy-roller talked mom into putting her name on mom's checking account so that she could write the checks to pay the bills until mom could write, again. Mom did and then, when mom died, THEY got all that money (nearly $38.000) and I never saw a dime of it!! She was ONLY SUPPOSED to take over mom's money until mom could get better from her stroke. Well, she did and repeatedly asked her for her checks back and was refused each time!! I was sitting right there with her in the kitchen nearly every time she asked for her checks back so I KNOW mom asked every time that bitch called! Then, at one point, mom confronted her with this and she flat out lied and said, "You NEVER asked for them back! If you had, I would've given them back to you immediately!!"
After mom died, instead of adhering to mom's LAST Will, which gave me a 50% share of the estate and a life estate, those two greedy cunts fucked mom & I over and claimed the Will was invalid and that we HAD to go by the old Will where we each get 1/3!! They won and I got kicked out of my own house!! A house that's been in our family since 1936!
THEN, at mom's funeral, that bitch threatened to call the cops on mom's sister and have her removed from the funeral home!! It's like Joe Biden claiming Trump is a criminal and a threat to the country!!
I'm not the least bit religious, I stopped believing in that bullshit when I was about 12! But, I never took a dime from mom!! If I was going to the store to buy groceries, she'd insist I take a $20.00 from her purse to help pay for it. I didn't need her money and, besides, paying for groceries was the least I could do to "pay my way" for staying there! But, just to keep her from arguing about it, I'd take the 20, go to the store, use MY money and then, when I got home and had to take her to the bathroom, I'd put the 20 back into her purse! I probably used the same 20 a dozen times!!

They are deceiving themselves.

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers! 9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.…Berean Standard Bible ·

1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

There is no forgiveness without repentance. Those who practice, as a way of life, such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Sour-rose · Answer

Denial. Denial that they are committing a sin... or just blind to their sins. They'll scream for everyone to hear "they're a christian" but even my parents can fuk up and commit a sin. "Thou shall not lie." My dad lied to me to get some rest and I don't come in his place and play video games. My mom... well she lies a lot. So yeah, they'll think they're doing nothing wrong, and continue in ignorance... to my evidence anyways.

Lily_lilac · Answer

Cuz they simply being boosted by their ego.. in denial with the fact that they are actually not religious as what they claim.. and yeah, some also believe, regardless how many times u do the sin, every time u seek for forgiveness, they will be forgiven by god🤷🏻‍♀️ Tho that do sounds wrong, because it is as if they take God’s matter lightly and just treating like a friend. “Oh im sorry i hurt you” but the sorry is more on courtesy rather than actually mean it

Anemone978 · Answer

They tend to be hypocrites and use religion as a weapon what they forget is god will always forgive but people are still gonna get their punishment.. lol Which makes me think a lot of folks don't actually believe in anything but parade around like they do to act better than others..

disgustingweebtrash · Answer

Everything in this life is pointless, all tribulations we go through are meaningless, no one is without sin, it is something we are all predisposed to, we are in pursuit of truth, an absolute truth. Tell me, the one who squandered their life in debauchery knowing nothing and no desire to know anything other than hedonism, why does that entitle them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven against the mass murderer who repented and acknowledged that God is the only absolute?

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

Yeah, I know a lot of people like that, both female and male. They call themselves "Muslims" and "Christians" and then in the same breath, go and act in a disgusting manner.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

Why do some supposedly moral people do really immoral things and still consider themselves moral paragons? People suck all around. Devout, atheist, everything in between. Everybody lies.

jshm2 · Answer

The same reasons politicians like Trump and his half assed followers will break laws, consensus, cultural and social norms etc... But still call themselves "patriotic".

These sorts are paying lip service, and don't understand, or care, about their hypocrisy.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

Because religion is a bunch of bullcrap. Praising a golden cow after sleeping with every other female in your girlfriend’s family isn’t going to grant forgiveness and wash away the overwhelming obstacles one may face. Christianity is NOT a religion, it is just pure reality.

strateguy632 · Answer

i believe those people rely on atheism to allow themselves. but your comparison to vegan is also wrong. christian iis a faith so beleve that faiith is a christian despite sins. the defining factor is faith not like a vegan rule.
in contrast a muslim drinking alcohol is not really a muslim because ilam is not faith.

DarkLegacy · Answer

They are hypocrites, they commit more evil then non religious people and try and use their religion to justify it. And they are very judgmental also which is also hypocritical.

MementoMori777 · Answer

Sinning is inevitable, something as small as a fib is a sin 😂

Wonderingguyy · Answer

Because people are hyprocrites that think there are exceptions that apply to them if it's convenient for them.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yeah, religious serving the devil. I understand people can make a mistake and sin but to live in sin is a clear sign that person doesn't believe a damn thing.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I call these people CHINOs or Christians in Name Only. They could also be Roman Catholics because they believe priests can dispense absolution on a weekly basis.

Dargil · Answer

Because they believe in the forgiveness of sins.

genericname85 · Answer

i mean why not? all sins can be forgiven anyway as long as you repent

Grond21 · Answer

Ironically, that too is a sin. It's called the sin of presumption

Hypocrisy. Tares among the wheat. Wolves among the sheep.
