I need help. I can not stop myself from sinning. It's the same sin over and over again.?

Question

I am a believer of Jesus Christ. But I can't quit sinning sexually. I pray, read Gods word, ask for help constantly, but no luck. I do ask for Gods forgiveness and I honestly try my best. This is the only thing I seem to really struggle with. Please give me advice.

Answer 1

Don't have sex.



You stop sinning and the Earth won't have to deal with your offspring.



It is a win-win.

Answer 2

What you are doing my dear is the biggest sin I can ever think, (apart from shirk to The Almighty). It is beyond my imagination that such actions can be taken out by any human beings... even small sins are not acceptable, let alone a mighty sin. I don't know how to give advice, since I simply cannot even imagine how you can do all these things...... it curdles my blood. I am hoping by knowing at what level you are, you realize how far you have gone away from the true line. It must be fought. That is the real jihad.

Answer 3

God never asked you to (stop) doing anything , all he asked that ye who are heavy laden come unto him and he will give you rest .Being a christian is not a marathon ,to see wo can win a race it is an everyday walk with God learning of him and understanding who he is and that when you learn to love God completely you will not want to sin because if you love him you will want to please him,

I read these questions every day in the hope there may be some on here who just doesnt understand ,that God loves us competley without reservation ,and it is so sad to see there are so many people who seem only to want to argue with or about God when he offers what the world sure does not .

LOVE UNCONDITIONAL

WOW

not how good we are just , or bad we are just because we are love unconditional wow

Answer 4

i no this doesnt awnser the question but no that your not the only one out there

Answer 5

Everybody sins. God will forgive you for your sins. The only advice I can give you is to resist temptation. Fight it with all of your might. If you continue sinning, pray for forgiveness again. If everybody who sinned didn't get into heaven it would be vacant. It's the BIG sins you need to worry about...like killing somebody. That's the thing you should avoid.

Answer 6

Hi Tellie, I hope you are absolutely fine. You are believer of Jesus Christ and I am a Muslim and I shall try to narrate all what I know to help you.



Sex with a person who is not your life partner (spous) is absolutely wrong and is considered as a Major Sin; not only as per teachings of our religion Islam and our Holy Book Quran but it is also absolutely wrong as per teachings of the Holy Bible. I don't know whether you have read the Holy Bible from start to end but I have read Old and New testaments and have compared it with out Holy Quran and let me tell you the fact, Sex is considered a Sin as per the teachings of the Holy Bible.



God has created the relations i.e. Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter..... and has created all kind of feelings. The feeling of Hunger, the feeling of Thurst, the feeling of Pain, the feeling of loneliness..... and like all other feelings, God has created sexual desires. You feel sexual desires and it means you are a normal human. And for fulfillment of your sexual desires, God has created a relation of a Life Partner, a Spouse; a relation of Husband & Wife.



God allows every human to fulfill his/ her sexual desires with the person whom God has created with a correct relationship. A life partner with whom you get married, with whom you spend your life, with whom you plan your future and with whom you enjoy the innocent talks of your kids, is no doubt your actual and correct life partner with whom you share each and everything, even with whom you can share your bed.



Secondly, as far as your guilt regarding this sin is concerned, it shows your pure soul and it means you have power to resist against this sin. So, no matter how big your sin is, just imagine how big your God is.



Even when I realize how many sins I have done, I just consider them so high than the mountains, so big than the oceans and it really make me upset.... BUT when I realize that these all sins are not bigger than the blessings of my Allah, not bigger than the favours of my Allah then I just get relaxed and I ask forgivenes from my Lord.



So, I sincerely advise you to stay away from this sin and if you think you can't stay away from this anymore then think about to get married. Also, ask forgiveness from God and I believe He will definitely forgive your past sins.

Answer 7

That's always a difficult one as sexuality is such an intregal part of your personhood. Christ does hear what you are asking of Him. Many times we inadvertently fight against ourselves regarding this but He is quick to forgive us. You are right to perservere. Talk to someone you can trust as you well know there are times when it seems hopeless; it's not. Bear in mind your pursuit to please God is at odds with the world only adding to an already tough situation.

Answer 8

I will pray for you.

The most important thing is that you have identified the act as sinful, God knows your weakness. People you are associating or place you are staying and lifestyle can cause you keep repeating the act time to time - get yourself involved with sports or differect health activities i.e swimming, shooting, hiking.... attend religious activities!~

Answer 9

You're a slave to sexual sin. But you've chose to make yourself a sexual slave. When you were 2 years old, you weren't hooking up with other 2 year olds. Somewhere along the line you chose(of your own free will) to take that first step and get into that type of sin. In doing that you changed yourself a little(every free will decision your make changes you). The next time around it would be easier to say yes and harder to say no and then the next time it would be even easier and on and on it goes. One decision turned into a habit, the habit turned into a lifestyle and that lifestyle put you in bondage. How do you turn it around? Just as you once chose(of your own free will) to get into this bondage, you chose(of your own free will) to get out. Next time you are tempted, you say no. You will change yourself a little in that decision. The next time it will be a little easier to say no and the time after that it will be easier still. Sooner or later this decision you made will turn into a habit and that habit will turn into a lifestyle and that lifestyle will give you freedom. Just as you formed a habit to get into that sin, you can form a habit to get out of that sin.

You say "but I don't have the power to say no". Nonsense! Let me give you a little hypothetical scenario. Suppose tommorrow God said "from now on everyone who has sex outside of marraige will immediately be struck with pains as if they had been thrown into a blast furnace and were being burnt alive and you will end up rolling on the floor for 24 hours in intense pain before it goes away". The first time around you might just decide to ignore the warning thinking "I don't believe that's going to happen". But once you went through that 24 hour experience, you would never do it again and all your excuses that you couldn't stop would go out the window. You would quit overnight.

People who say they can't stop some addiction(be it drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex, gambling or whatever) just don't have enough incentive to stop. God is long suffering. He puts up with it for a long time. But eventually he will give you some incentive to stop. He will let you get some kind of sickness or sexually transmitted disease or worse. Hopefully you attend a bible believing church. Set up a counseling session. Don't be proud. Admit to them your problem. Maybe they can set you up with a partner who will check up on you periodically to see if you are falling back into sin. That will make you accountable. Continue to confess the sin and ask forgiveness knowing that He will forgive you. God isn't trying to get you to stop sinning so He can love you again. He's never stopped loving you. He's just trying to stop you from destroying yourself.

It's only about 20 minutes long each night but it's chock full of principles on how to live the christian life including how to break out of different bondages. Just read the titles for each night. He talks about depression, fear, worry, guilt feelings, lack of meaning in your life, slavery to habits and many more things from the bibles perspective.

Answer 10

i'm afraid you might need quite a lengthy discussion here. it involves a lot of spiritual, moral and scientific points. but dont get me wrong, it's very natural. every normal human being has a strong urge towards sexuality. try this book, the gospel of barnabas. might help to open your eyes and mind about many things....)

Answer 11

There is nothing sinful about sex so long as all parties involved are willing participants and fully aware of the consequences of their actions.

Answer 12

"I cant"



There's your problem. God doesn't give you some magical gift that will cease your problem, he presents your problem to you, repeatedly, until you learn to fight it..fight...fight....fight...until you conquer!



You can quit, you're just not quitting, because you don't have enough fight in you to quit. Praying to God and reading the Bible only help you become more conscience of sin when it's presented to you. You either fight, or allow yourself to be a weakling who get's trampled by what you're at war with.



Good luck with the FIGHT.
