as to say which one of the deadly sins do you do experience the most. Does that even make sense. Whatever i hope u know what i mean. For me i seem to experience RAGE AND ENVY the most.

I am talking about myself here: Yes i do cry when I think of a certain sin I did when I realize the gravity of that certain sin.but the point is to learn and move on and not live captured in guilt. We are human beings and we are bound to sin. I just know that God is merciful and trust as long as I do good and try avoiding that sin again all will be forgiven because I have faith in His mercy. Tears don't come out of fear but rather out of love, coz even on human basis if you love some1 u don't like to upset him.

All sins are the same in gods book....although i think some are greater than others..like killing, adultery, etc. I would say casue someone to hate because it is like an epidemic...take the KKK for instance...they are so blind they just take what the Clan leader tells em....the rivalry between them and otehr races is so old they have just believed the sterotype, puzzled together reasons that they think supports the sterotype and i think they dont even know the roots of there hattride lol.

i guess people learn from their mistakes, and most people don't like the feeling of guilt, so most people wont repeat what the sin                                                                          but to answer your question i guess the people who repeat their sin, really don't feel the guilt they should be feeling and that causes them to do it again.i would need to know more in order to answer the question with more detail.

bad.... at the end, it only hurt you.  anger and bitterness only eats away at the you.  the other party is probably clueless of what's going on.  let it go....

I think people suffer so they can learn. Someone once told me the longer you keep gold in fire the purer it becomes. If we go through these hard times and we seek to learn from them and allow ourselves to become better, stronger souls I think that is enough. I don't believe in sin and damnation and all that. I think everyone goes back to God the murder and the victim both take part in lesson and it really fans out to the families and the communities involved. We grow and learn.

My rebellious story......I was Catholic for about 35 years and had trouble in believing that an all loving god would condemn people to hell for what he determined to be indiscretions.  \nShoot...I love to master bate, have pre marital sex with men and women and sometimes a freak fest or two with a couple of friends of mine.  So I guess I was going down to the fiery brimstone pit.\nThe clincher for me was that I was signing up my kids for another year of CCD classes and they told me I had to pay $150 for the classes (which is about double what it should be) because I didn't use the "envelope system" every week, even though I was a registered member of the church and would throw in $1 or two when I would have it.\nI took the CCD applications and ripped them up into tiny pieces and threw one right at the lady and the other one I threw up in the air so it landed in a million pieces all over the floor.\nI've been a practicing eclectic witch, but lately I've been leaning more towards Hinduism and spirituality with a little bit of quantum physics

When you forget sins during confession, its not your fault. Just confess them the next time you go to confession. When you hold back sins though... thats bad. You recieve twice the load.

I've had a couple times where I really felt God with me.  The one I recall most: I was thinking of His actions that confuse and/or disturb me.  I started crying hard.  So I prayed, and told God what I was thinking.  Next thing I know, my tears dry up, my breathing slows down, and my whole body relaxes.  I have no doubt God was comforting me!

Thank you for your honest question. It is not as easy as saying I have this feeling. Feelings as you may know can be mis-leading. How you know is your life is changed you do not want to do the things that is sin and people see a change in you. \n\nI hope this helps.

Oh some people make me so mad. I live in southern Alabama and religion is thrown in my face every day, and I know that I am not a perfect person. I have faults just like EVERYBODY else. But what right does the FAT preacher have to preach to me or my family that we are so WRONG when GLUTTONY is VERY much a SIN. GREED is a SIN too as the FAT preacher drives his NEW car (cause he's too fat to walk very far) and talk on his NEW cell phone and preaches to us that we are so wrong..... OOH I get so worked up on some religious things. I need to quit now or I will p*ssed about this all day long.

I'm very happy for you. I'm sure we all welcome you. You could probably answer this question better than us. My answer would've been- -  I think, people who live in sin are somewhat unaware or in denial about how their lifestyle is affecting themselves and others. I know that is what I did. When lost, it's difficult to see or find the light. But man, thank God for the light.  Thank you and God Bless.

It depends upon which religion you go by and also if you consider Purgatory and Limbo side dishes of Hell or separate from it.  In most circles, there are 9 levels of Hell that correspond to whichever sin has been committed.  Others say 4, some say 7, yada yada yada.  Dante's "Inferno" could give you a more decent and expanded explanation.  With that, there are different demons that preside over these levels and punish souls according to what sins they've committed throughout life.  I could go on, but I digress. ~ Satanis Luciferi Excelsi ~  Good luck exploring!

I had that problem as well for a while so I sat down and wrote out what I thought on it from what I knew and learned.  It's long so bear with it...\n\nWhat is forgiveness?Each person has their own definition of it. To some it is never talking about it again. For others its pretending whatever it was never happened. Still others think its absolution of guilt and minimizing what happened. Still others it means giving up thoughts of revenge. Finally, some feel it is as simple as giving up the hate. Which is right?\nOK, let’s start somewhere else… Firstly, why SHOULD you forgive? Is it really necessary? That is dependant a lot of you and your school of thought. Most Christians point to the phrases in the bible and say it’s gods plan. Others are more apt to put forth the proposal that is makes you a better person. But does it? Is it truly necessary to forgive someone to grow? My personal belief is this; it depends on what you are forgiving. Some things are small and don’t really mean that much so it’s not a big deal, forgiveness is easy there. But what about bigger things? Things that affect your life and your mental health? That is where it gets more complex… Anger, hatred and rage are there for a reason some times, all of us have felt them at some point in time, they are normal. They are there to tell you something is wrong and you need to work through it. Depending on the offense forgiveness isn’t automatic. It takes time. Sometimes forgiveness is NEVER warranted, EVER. Think about it, why should you forgive someone that isn’t the least repentant for what they did to you? Then there are truly evil acts that should never warrant forgiveness. Yet as mature adults we, mostly from teachings when we were small children, feel that we have to forgive someone no matter how heinous the crime. Step back a bit and think about that… Then ask yourself why? Why are you forgiving them? Is it because that is how you feel or is it because you were once told that is the proper thing to do? Which is it? What we are never taught as a child is that anger is healthy and the expression of such is right, we sometimes have a reason to feel that anger. And to get better that anger is needed. Only after you have worked through that stage should you consider forgiveness. Even then sometimes you don’t need to forgive someone. I hear the gasp from here so bear with me… Why should you have to forgive someone when you don’t feel it is warranted? The answer is you shouldn’t. There is nothing in this world that tells you it’s a requirement. Think about it; aren’t there some things done that don’t ever warrant it? No, forgiveness doesn’t make you better than them, really it doesn’t. Forgiveness will not get you into heaven faster. Forgiveness won’t make what is done to you go away. Forgiveness truly can only come when YOU are ready for it, not before. If that never happens then so be it. Just because you don’t and can’t forgive someone doesn’t mean you are filled with hate and rage, it just means you are unable to make that step because you don’t feel it is warranted, no other reason.\nSay you are ready to forgive someone for something fairly big, OK your ready to tell them all that and shine your halo a bit. But before it goes that far mayhap you should ask what their definition of it is. If it is we will never discuss it again, it never happened or that it’s an absolution of guilt back off! That is not forgiveness, they want you to forget it happened and let them off the hook. That is not forgiveness. Just because you FORGIVE them doesn’t take away their culpability in the matter or make it so it never happened. No way, doesn’t work like that. If they want absolution send them to church, that is the only place they will get it! No one ever said if you forgive them that you can’t ever talk about it, they just don’t want to is all. Forgive and forget is all wrong because as much as you try you will NEVER

Feeling kind of down, actually.  My High Priest committed suicide just before Yule.  Now I have no one with whom to do rituals, and may not do any.  If I had some wine, I'd probably get drunk, but I don't feel up to going out to buy any.  \n\nSelf-pity is destructive.  I think I'll do a purification ritual after the sun goes down tonight.

Yes. I have a very difficult time forgiving myself for many of my shameful actions, even though I've asked the Lord for forgiveness. In fact, some of the things that I regret I still ask forgiveness for, many years later. I know I don't need to, but I just feel so incredibly terrible about those things. I want so badly to be the person that God wants me to be. I want to have Christ-like qualities. It is so hard for me to understand why I can't get there! I struggle almost everyday with self control (especially control over my tongue). I would give pretty much anything to consistently maintain my self control, and yet I can't without God's help. I have found that if I forget to pray before I go to sleep (and thus forget to sincerely ask the Lord to allow His Holy Spirit to be with me every second of the following day to help me with self-control), I have a very hard time the next day. If I do ask, it's so much easier - I mean VASTLY different. I don't know why it seems as though God wants me to request help every night, but I'm sure He has a reason. Probably to get me to rely on Him more. That would be a good reason. When I lose my self-control and yell at my little ones, I feel so much remorse. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so my 4 and 2 year old are the ones who try my patience.  :o)  That is to be expected, and is not their fault (sometimes it is, but not usually)! I want to be a calm and predictable mommy, but it's very hard for me. That's all I have to say, as I am tired now and need sleep.  :o)

There are some close seconds, but number one is being good.\n\nI don't know why. I thought it was because of all the wonderful things I could ultimately have, like being close to God, becoming a huge radiant being, having love and connection with all beings, and similar ambitions.\n\nBut, I realized the other day that if I had to deliberately wrong someone to better my own situation worldly or spiritually, I wouldn't do it, regardless of God's will. I fear that it's pride, and I wonder if it's something better than my selfish mind can grasp. I don't know.\n\nWould you tell us what your most important is?
