    Asking God for forgiveness when I wouldn't go back and change what I did if I could?

    Example: I told a half-lie to my boyfriend; I did something, minor, that seemed like a minor accident, but it was on purpose. I felt horrible immediately after, and I apologized, and that was that. But the way the incident happened, it seemed like an accident. I recently read in a book that if...

    In principle, if there are more questions than there are works: something is wrong?

    Hi there, So I posted this thread about the difference between faith and works, and I didn't get a single reply - so I thought I would take the tangential subject and clarify - for our sakes, if anyone - how long or far you can ignore the relationship between faith and works: before you get...

    Do I need to confess to others what I have done?

    I have a question. I committed a couple terrible sins (that I won't post here) (years ago) in my life. I have totally repented, confessed to God, and do not struggle with those sins anymore. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior. I have done my best to forgive others of their sins...

    Preparing for confession - need advice

    I'm going through time when I accepted that downloading media (music, movies) is a sin and I avoid it since then (also have confessed it already). Recently I also started with deleting all downloaded stuf, for I've read on forums that people do it and I see point of it (not keeping stolen...
