All of us feel like hypocrites sometimes. Forgiveness can happen because of who God is and the decisions He makes. Not because of who we are. The discomfort you feel can be very helpful because it can help you to make new decisions and try a new direction. Some sins are so much a part of our nature that we need a lot of time and a lot of forgiveness before we begin to master the part of our will that keeps making us mess up. Don't give up, and don't dwell too much on guilt. Spend your time being grateful for the forgiveness and for the opportunity to try again. God loves us as we are where we are right now. He will never love you more than He loves you right now and He will never love you less. You have started down a good path. Give yourself a chance and some time to grow.

Unfortunately that's part of life.... we've hurt people we can't apologize to, or we can't FIX a bad situation, and we are forced to live with the regret.\n\nIf you can, hire a PI as suggested by Steffy above.  The PI can probably find him.

They really want to you to confess your sins, as they believe that an essential part of repentance and forgiveness is to tell another person the sin.

I would think so.  It helps us realize that we are by nature very sinful and cannot redeem ourselves.\n\nThis kind of thing is excellent.  I believe Jesus even said to do it (in private) - from the Bible.

In the book of James we are told to "confess your sins, one to another".  This is also one of the ways people get sober and stay that way in AA. We put our shortcomings into perspective and get our guilt out. So yes appropriate, at least at times, and certainly usefull for spiritual health.

Sorry- you're not through the instruction booklet- If you acknowledge that Jesus indeed died for your sins, then certain requirements are made:  hear the word, believe the word, repent,(that's the loop-hole that gets you) and confess.  Some would add be baptised to this, but from my understanding- optional.  That would eliminate the death bed thing-

I couldn't find six steps - but this may help:\nHow to Make a Good Confession\n\nThe Sacrament of Reconciliation is the normative means by which a Christian avails themselves of the mercy and grace of God for the forgiveness of sins.  The two effects of confession are the sacramental forgiveness of sin through the redemption of Jesus Christ, and an increase in grace that helps renew a Christian’s soul and increase their ability to resist temptation.  In an earlier article, I dealt with answering the question of why Catholics practice confession of sins to a priest.  If you need an answer to this question, click here for an answer.  In this article I will help instruct the reader on how to make a good confession.\n\n Requirements for Confession\n\n Under normal circumstances only a baptized Catholic can receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  However, this restriction can be lifted in the case of grave circumstances (such as imminent death of a non-Catholic Christian).  For Catholics, three things are required for a valid sacramental confession.  First, the Catholic must examine his conscience honestly and thoroughly and must not withhold confession of any mortal sins (CCC 1456).  Second, the confessor must be contrite and repentant (CCC 1451). A contrite person will seek the Sacrament of Confession because he is sorry for his sins.   Love for God is the best motivation for seeking God’s forgiveness, but even if the confessor is not perfectly contrite (and seeks forgiveness out of simple fear of hell) the Sacrament of Reconciliation will still remain valid (CCC 1453).  However, if a person enters the Sacrament with the intention of committing the sin later, then this person is not sorry for his sins and the sin will not be forgiven.  Finally, the confessor must complete the penance assigned to him by the priest as soon as possible (CCC 1494). \n\nWhat to do in the Confessional\n\n 1) Wait for your turn at the Confessional, and if you have not done so examine your conscience\n\nWhether you examine your conscience at home or in the church, it is important that you honestly examine your actions since the last confession.  All mortal sins and the approximate number of times they were committed must be confessed for a valid confession.  Venial sins do not have to be confessed, but if you desire to do so you may.  If you believe your confession will last a great deal of time (in excess of fifteen minutes) it is advisable to schedule a private confession with the priest.  A private confession is a good idea for those who have either left the Church, committed a sin which requires possible counseling, or have not confessed in a long time.  If you want to know what a mortal sin is and need help examining your conscience, click here.\n\n2) Enter the Confessional and choose either a face-to-face confession or anonymous confession\n\nSince Vatican II, most parish churches allow the confessor to choose between a face-to-face or anonymous confession.  Usually, this is done by dividing the confessional room into two halves separated by a grill or curtain.  If you desire an anonymous confession simply kneel down in front of the curtain (the curtain will separate you from the priest) and the priest will begin the confession.  If you desire a face-to-face confession, simply walk around the curtain and sit in the chair opposite the priest.  Remember that you are about to confess your sins to Jesus Christ’s representative on earth.  You confess to Christ and the Church.  Your humility, honesty, and penitence should be tempered by this fact.  Also remember that confessions are absolutely confidential.  The priest will never share your sins with anyone else.  He is instructed to keep the seal of the confessional even under pain of death; so do not let your worries affect your confession.\n\n3)  The priest will begin the Confession with the prayer of the Sign of the Cross\n\nMake the sign of the cross and say, “Forgive me Father for I h

Mrs. C., homosexuality, pornography, and "dirty" thoughts about people (anybody) are all sins. we all deal with sins and we're all tempted with them. you're specific sturggle, although black marked by society, isn't any worse or much different than anyone elses and you have to deal with it the same way.\nfirstly, I strongly suggest talking to a church paster or elder whom you trust. \n\nthere are a few verses that really help out in times like these. I've really learned to use them a lot:\nthe first one is 1 Corinthians 10:13 (I'm not going to quote them because it'd be too long) just take not the last part of that doesn't say he'll take the temptation away. but give you strength to deal with it, which you may have to endure the rest of your life. \nthe second reference is Ephesians 4:22-24 which gives you a (adimatably ambiguous) step by step way of dealing with sin. the key in it is training your mind. *you have to take control of your thoughts and MAKE them be submissive to God*\n\nwe all have our struggles and trials and vices. they're hard, but thanks to God, we don't have to be victims to them anymore. we have the strength and help that God provides. this doesn't mean it'll be easy and this doesn't mean that they'll leave us alone, but it does mean theres hope for us to stay away from all out sin. \n\nI'll be praying for you. I do hope you see a paster or someone that can help you, and please, stay away from the porn, if nothing else, it'll definately limit the sourse of temptation.

It's called sympathy which is a natural emotion.  We know how it feels to have pain.  So, it's only logical that we wouldn't want  to inflict that on others.  On the other hand.   Christians are taught that you're born bad which can make you bad.  You're also taught that god will forgive you for almost anything you do.  That can lead to bad behavior

ask yourself:\nwhy do i want this now?\nWhat changed you?\nYou asked forgiveness for your sins, but do you really repent, or is it just an act, something you did without feeling it?\nIf you really feel sorry for specific things, and you understand why they were bad, and why you don't want to do them again, you will feel a difference. You'll feel insight.\n\nYou are probably at a very important point in your live.\n\nthink a lot.\n\nread inspirational books, like the bible, a book that inspired billions of people. If you need guidance  with this, go to a local church. The local priest will be very happy to help you. He will introduce you to people who will help you on your journey to God.\n\nBut always keep on thinking. This will give whatever you choose to belief a very profound foundation.\n\nAnd don't forget: don't loose the big picture\nGod is everywhere, always, and for everybody, not just for you when you need him. He is not responsible for everything you or anybody else does. He made man free to do what they want to do. Bad things happen to everybody; He will guide you to see the good things everywhere, and that will enable you to cope with the bad things.\n\nAnd always, always keep on thinking.
