What happens as a Christian if you commit a sin?

Excellent question, Zeggy! Now, let's see how many of them actually give you a proper answer without alluding to the Bible or calling you names. Lets not forget, after all, that their religion states that any sin is bad and that one must repent, even confess to a priest, before being forgiven. Also don't forget that, due to this belief system, that means that one could go out and kill, steal, cheat, lie, etc all week long and it won't matter, they'll still get to go to Heaven, just as long as they go to church every Sunday without fail. That's really the only prerequisite they have for getting into heaven, really - going to church ever Sunday. It doesn't really matter what you do with your life just as long as you take an hour or so every week to p!ss on the name and standing of your own God.

we have all sinned, and therefore all deserve to go to hell.  but that is the beauty of christianity, that it is no doing of your own to go to heven accept for accepting Christ as your lord and saviour.  it is that simple...so whether it is sexual sin, or stealing, or lieing, we have all sinned, and are there for in the same till we ask Christ into our lives...it is that simple.

If that person does not change their lifestyle(If they continue have homosexual sex)NO,they will not go to heaven.\n\nIf that person does not want to change their lifestyle,they are not showing very much love for Christ,are they?\n\nEven if a person could not choose what they were born as,they can choose not to sin.\n\nIf someone tells you they are a Christian homosexual and they do not abstain from homosexual sex,then they are lying to you and themselves.\n\nIf Jesus could go through the torture he went through for us we can abstain from sin for Jesus.

Sin IS inevitable.  The point is that you keep trying to do what is right and ask God to help you.  He loves you---he's not going to abandon you if you are doing your best!  As long as your heart is sincere, just live your life doing what you know is right, and you have nothing to fear.

Once you repent and ask God to forgive you of something, you are forgiven. Not only does he forgive you, he also remembers it no more. So you need not worry about that. However when you sin there are still consequences. For example if you drink and use drugs for a long time, you may damage your body, or if you mess up financially, you may find yourself stuck in debt. Or if you offend someone, there's still a damaged relationship to be dealt with. You will still have to deal with the consequences even though you are forgiven. But take heart, God doesn't leave you to deal with them on your own. He stays with you and heals you, weather it takes a long time or a little, he does take care of us.\n\nAs for the desires of your heart, God knows better than you do what you want, what you need, and what will benefit you. Of course he wants you to pray and make your requests known, but that doesn't mena he'll always give you what you want when you want it. Again, He knows best. He may not give you what you want because he knows it's not the best thing for you. Or perhaps the timing is not right, and he will give you what you want at the best time (later). It may also be that he wants to teach you to wait on him and trust him.\n\nIn any case, just trust him. He is your father and he loves you more than you will ever imagine. He also sees all things. He knows everything that will happen to you in your life and he truly knows what's best. Also rest assurred he has forgiven you of everything you've repented for. You need only repent once for a sin and it is completely forgotten by Him. So forgive yourself. God has forgiven you, and those past sins will never count against you.

We ALL sin and fall short of the glory of God.  We were born into a sinful world after Eve ate the apple in the garden.  Is homosexuality a sin? Yes, but so is gluttony, gossip, coveting, stealing, abuse, etc, etc....  God see's all sin as the same in His eyes.  It is a shame that the world cannot love the homosexual as God loves them....he created them just as He created me, a sinner.  But He died on the cross to save us from those sins.  God forgives me as a glutton-gossip-coveting female, so he can forgive anyone else who commits sin....and we all do commit sin!  God is sad when we sin, he hates sin, but he sent Jesus, his son into the world as a sacrifice to save us from our sin so we can spend eternity in heaven with Him!  What an incredible promise!  Grace and mercy to those (homosexuals) who have to deal with the judgment of "some" Christians who really do not understand the unconditional love of Jesus Christ!

These are really good questions.  \n\nJesus did die for our sins, for the sins of those who recieve His death as payment for their sins. (John 1:12) (If you do not believe in Him, than His death does not pay the penalty for your sins and you are responsible for paying it, thus eternity spent in hell)  We still die in our earthly bodies, because this earth is not eternal.  For those who are in Christ, earthly death is merely the end of the temporary and the beginning of eternal life in the presence of God.  1 Corinthians 15:50-57 talks about that.\n\nAdam and Eve did sin.  So has every human after them.  By their sin, Adam and Eve broke the perfect fellowship with God that He had created them to live in with Him.  Once that relationship was broken, as one of the many consequences of it, Adam and Eve's children were born into that broken relationship.  We are not responsible for Adam and Eve's sin, but we do live in the effects of it. (just like if a stranger comes into your house and kills a loved one of yours, your life will be forever changed.  You will now live with the consequences of that person's actions, though you had no personal responsibility for them.)  The sin that we are responsible for is our own.  We were born incapable of not sinning, whether it is sin we are aware of or not.  Romans 3 tells us that absolutely every human on the planet is guilty of sin.  But God, though we broke relationship with Him, sent His perfect Son, Jesus, who knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) to take on the penalty of our sin and pay it for us in His death and resurrection.  Romans 3:23-26, Ephesians 2:8-9\n\nYour last question is a very difficult one, that many people don't agree on, because the Bible is not clear, and it is most likely one of those questions that we'll never figure out and will have to ask God when we get to heaven and will see things from His perspective.  Some people believe that all humans are born in sin and are responsible from birth.  Other people believe in an "age of accountability", basically that there is a certain age, around 2 or 3, when children begin understanding right and wrong, and that's when they are responsible for their sin.  If they die before that age, such as at birth or a miscarriage, God will not condemn them because they were unaware of their sin.  \n\nHope that helps some.  I encourage you to read the book of Romans in the Bible, it gives a whole lot more than I just did, and it shows the amazing gift that God has made possible by sending Jesus.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be opened so that you will know what is the hope of His calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance and the greatness of His power toward us who believe.  (Ephesians 1:17-23)

The first step of repentance is to stop performing the sin. If you don't do that you are not repenting.

Sin is unavoidable as soon your born you sin so whats the matter if you do a sin you consuse of? I don't know either lol am lost!

No. You destroy yourself....as we all do or have done at some point or another in our lives. We consciously sin or chose not to sin.If you don't like the word sin...you make either good or bad choices in life....cause and effect/for every action there is a reaction.... In the Christian faith, when we sin, we alienate(separate) ourselves from God...a spiritual death of sorts...total separation from God; which is Hell in every sense of the word. It is only through Christ's innoccent blood shed on the cross for all of mankind, through His DEATH, that we have LIFE.  Why would a loving God want to destroy any of His creation?...We destroy ourselves through our rejection of God and our acceptance of sin.

God will forgive if you truly repent for what you've done. True repenence means you agree with God that your sin was wrong and you turn from and forsake that sin. As long as we are in this world we will have a sin nature. Being saved doesn't mean that you won't sin. it just means you are forgiven through the blood of Jesus. But sin does have a consequence. Be sure God is not mocked for whatever a man soweth that he shall also reap. You cannot play around and fool God. He is omnipresent, and omniscient. He knows who is truly sincere and who is not. If you are a true born again Christian and have accepted Jesus as you Savior, then you are adopted into the family of God. You are then His child. Make no mistake...just as sure as an earthly Father corrects his children, even so does you Heavenly Father. You do not want to take God lightly.

You are much mistaken on many of your "if you do this then you go to hell" comments.  Those who go do hell are those who do not have faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.  Christ is the answer to the sin problem.  Those who go to hell are the ones who do not take hold of the answer.  They try to solve their sin problem by some other means.\n\nKeep reading the Bible to find out what it really says.

You choose to accep or reject the gospel.  You cast yourself into hell.  He has provided a way so you don't have to go there.

A sin is any act against the Word and Will of God.\n\nedit note... if you are not of The True Christian Faith you need not be concerned with sin... the concept dose not apply to you... it applies to those of God... it is a misconception that sin will keep someone from Heaven... What will keep most out of Heaven is rejecting God( not coming to Him in The Way he proscribes)\n\nI accept email questions concerning The True Christian Faith.  1 honest question receives 1 honest answer to the best of my ability.
