I believe most Christians, including me are afraid to admit their sins to people. I hate to say it but most Christians be the most judgmental people, so most of us are scared to confess. I know that it may be better if everyone showed the love of Christ, but many people condemn you to hell and offer no help. The Bible says if any man is overtaken with fault,ye that are spiritual, restore one another, lest you also be tempted. we are the body of Christ, we need each other!

Hi, i'm 14 years old and i've struggled with porn and i have done some things that i really regret and i wish now that i didn't done but i lift up my sins to Jesus Christ and let him take them.

@xxredheadxx07 I know how you feel.Completely. I do too and yet I still do. It's really hard. Really really hard... but if we REALLY do love God and we ask him for help and we help ourselves, we would stop doing whatever it is we do. There was a sermon from this pastor, he said that if we know what we are doing is wrong but we still give in and do it, then are we really sorry? It got me thinking...we are such horrible people... thank you God. Thank you for everything.....

So guys, please pray for me. God is changing me little by little and he has helped me overcome that temptation several times, but I'm going to be honest and say that I gave in to it yesterday, and I am happy to say that even still, it just brought me closer to God and I don't think of Him as some character in the sky that I talk to. He is God and just to fathom His greatness is not possible. You cannot see God and still live for whoever sees His face dies (Moses in Ex.). PLEASE pray for me.

that I keep on asking for forgiveness even more. But I know that God will forgive us when we confess and we mean it. I heard this message from two different pastors about how if you keep doing the same sin over and over even though you know it's bad, then you're not really sorry to God. If you are really sorry, then you would stop doing it. That hit me so hard and so many other words have as well. I deeply love God, but sometimes I wonder if I really do when I give in to that temptation...

[carlyandoreo9625]

But then I remember great mercy and His forgiveness for our sins and how He has blessed me so much and have made me a successful student and a great family. Just thinking about how I have made God so sad breaks my heart and He doesn't deserve anything less than all the worship we can give Him. I feel so useless and stupid. Then I read the Bible, my devotionals and Our Daily Bread, and the Holy Spirit renews me. Even though I have confessed my sins to Him so many times, I still feel so guilty

[carlyandoreo9625]

I have made the same mistake so many times that I get so discouraged and I feel like I should have no right to live for knowing it's wrong, but I still do. Sometimes, the only thing I want to do then is just die because I can not bare the amount of shame I feel and the thought that God was watching me...He was angry, upset, but I keep on thinking about how broken-hearted he was when He watched me. I just want to curl into a ball and die for doing that to God.

@danistrick I have nothing against Catholics but I hate it when they say I'm not following the true religion of Christ because I'm not a catholic. Now I understand that nobody wants to feel misunderstood. I'm not saying you're like that. I'm Lutheran and that is is kind of a descendant of Catholicism. My church isn't very traditional but we do do lent and advent and we believe true Christianity is not a religion ( a set of rules one must follow to get to Heaven) but a relationship.

IM scared to admit sins to humans because they judge me...But im not scared to admit sins to God becaus ehe wont judge and i know no matter what he will always love me..People dont always care..

[NvrShoutNvr93]

I'm a Christian and I'm scared to admit my sins to anybody. Even God, even though he already knows them. I'm scared of what people will think of me. I know I shouldnt feel that way but I do...

[doctaduck]

i am more afraid of man(parents, siblings, gossip loaded church mates) than God. Am pretty much okay with the fact that God knows i drink smoke sex play got the latest sex toys and still preach to people bout God. Only one question, did God ever say we should confess our sins to one another? For what, if i did not wrong them? my pastor confessed his drug addiction to the church, guess what he is now peeling potatoes in Guantanamo Bay..

@Lyssi721 Part two: A priest is trained to confess, listen, will never tell anyone your sins ,and give advice on how to become better images of Christ. You are right, a priest does not have a heaven or hell to put me in. I cannot say I am saved or that I am going to hell because that judgement belongs solely to Christ.♥ God Bless you!
