I would like to bring up a discussion of a human being suffering with their sinful nature.
Believers of all faiths are welcomed.
The reason I want to bring it up is because I'm struggling with a deliberate sin that I'm falling into over and over again. I'm a Christian and of course my belief is based that if I ask God's forgiveness in Jesus's name, He will forgive me, but wouldn't there be a point where God will just say "forget it, I'm done with you"?
Also - how do people of other faiths deal with God's forgiveness/falling into sin and doing something bad over and over again.
Additionally, can anyone relate? Was anyone struggled with the same thing, but was able to overcome it?
Also - please, oh please, for those who don't believe in God, please don't respond or make fun of my thread. I'm already feeling vulnerable. Thanks in advance.
God forgives because you ask him to and your heart is open to changing the sinful nature of your past. If you repent and try to change your ways, God forgives. He knows we are imperfect and we are flawed. We will make mistakes, but that doesn't mean you stop trying to be a better person. One does not need to be religious to want to improve oneself and make better choices.

Have you talked to a pastor/priest about your feelings?
But in any case I feel that anyone who truly wants to change something about themselves: ie a a habit or action.... whether they believe in God or not; will be capable to do it if the will is there. So as long as you constantly put effort into changing you will. Remember change does not occur over night and people learn at different rates. So don't get discouraged.

You are right, I think part of the reason why I started falling into sin is because I stopped attending church after my son was born, no emotional spiritual support or food...

If you're a Christian as you claim..then just stop it. You are not a slave to that sin anymore...so just stop it. I'm sure you can control yourself at times...so obviously you're not totally out of control.

Are you saying that you never sin? Obviously if I could just "stop it", I would.

No maam, I am the wretch the song refers to. I don't claim to be w/out sin.
I've had my fair share of struggles with sin--but it's an attitude question. If you're serious about kicking it, then mortify it. Just stop. Pray to God for help--and make a conscious decision to avoid it instead of doing it. It doesn't mean you won't ever mess up again...but you will stop diving into it.

You are already forgiven even while you struggle with whatever habit you might be trying to overcome. Just know that God has forgiven you already and understands what we go through.
And no theirs isn't any point where God say's he's done with you' heck no not at all. God Loves you no matter what you are struggling with. And he doesn't think anyless of you either. Which is why he gave himself by sending his own son!
And Yeah. I can relate, I struggled for years with an addiction and habit i had and know matter how many times I tried to quit or stop. It almost seemed as though it wouldn't let loose or i just couldn't shake it. Until one day I thought thats it! "Lord iv had it with this strong hold in my life" Thing is is that when we resist the devil he flees alright. Dang wish id seen that before!
But have to warn you. Whatever spirit of addiction it Is. It'll come back and have another go! Just alway's be ready and prepared for when it does and resist it All over again!
What Did I do to overcome it! "I resite this prayer everyday"
I have been crucified with christ. Never the less i live but christ lives in me. And the life i live here in this body. I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me!
"I am Dead To Sin But Alive to God"
Hope that helps you!
