    Jacob. Now that's a young sounding name. How old are you? If you are still young enough to be subject to your elders, you might find counsel with one of us concerning God's plans for correcting your shameful ways. As Brother Smyth wisely pointed out, it will take a combination of confessing your most shameful sins and then abiding in Him (performing the actions of someone who is repentant and longs for forgiveness). I encourage you to seek out the company of one of your elders when you are ready to turn yourself around and open yourself up.

    By the way, do you like swimming?

    I know it sounds corny, but the first time I properly read the bible I knew that everything in my life was wrong and that I would be punished for it, and need to be punished for it. But I'm worried - worried that these sins will hold me back forever, in the eyes of myself and our lord. I really need some advise on what to do to repent, and if it is even possible.

    A cautious welcome to you, Jacob. From your words it looks like you have taken the first baby steps to salvation.

    (1 John 1:9) "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

    Lots of people like to cherry-pick that verse because they think that by ONLY admitting to our sins we are saved, but it takes a little more work than that. A short while later we see:

    (
    1 John 3:6) "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him"

    I'm praying that you can stay on the path to Heaven!



    Yours in Christ,

    Z. Smyth

    How many sons do you have?
    I have know children that I know of. I never wed, and all my sinful encounters have been childless that I know of. I don't know if it would be the right path for me to produce a child without fully understanding God's way.

    Redemption is what I seek. It is what I have thought about for the past few months, and I can not escape the worry that whatever I do will never make up for it. I've prayed for god to give me a sign, and all I have found is this site.
