Will I go to hell for sinning?

Only-Posts-Bible · 2021-04-07T09:53:14+00:00

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

“And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”

"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Wrong question. The mature Christian isn't motivated by a fear of hell, but rather a love for God and keeping His commands.

Your life must be incredibly off-base right now to even be considering divorce. But you can begin to reverse it by reading and implementing the sidebar. Do you lift? Do you read your Bible? Are you leading your relationship? Are you the man God created you to be? Are you spending too much time on useless activities? Are you disciplined?

I'm guessing you have a lot of problems. Tough. We ALL do. But those of us who consistently make the hard decision to keep the faith, grow in knowledge and stature all the while maintaining an open mind and heart to what God has called us to - will inherit the kingdom and a full life.

While all those pussies who procrastinated, sat around all day, fumbled through life, followed their feelz, let women turn them into cucks - may go to heaven, but for now they'll exist in a living hell.

If you got divorced in the past for a sinful reason, then all you need to do is confess and ask God for forgiveness (1 John 1:9)

If you are considering filing for divorce in the future, for a reason other than your spouses's fidelity, then that could be a bit different. A Calvinist would question if you conversion was genuine and if you're really saved at all.

I'm reading through the Old Testament currently and there's a principal that also shows it can be different. If someone inadvertently sinned or did something not realizing at the time that it was sinful, they were instructed to give a sin offering. Or if was something habitual, but were genuinely trying to change, they could make an offering as well. But if they did something sinful deliberatly, intentionally, with malice, then they were stoned. Obviously, Jesus satisfied the sin offering once and for all. Anyway, it just kind of surprised me there was any difference. From what I remembered, it was simply: if you sinned, you made a sin offering.

Anyway, there are different thoughts about whether you can lose your salvation. Calvinists say once you are saved, nothing you can do can change that. However, if there is ongoing, unrepentant sin, it's possible you were never saved to begin with.

Others say you can lose your salvation (those that completely renounce their faith).

It's been debated for over 500 years and volumes upon volumes have been written about it. You're not going to get an answer with any amount of replies in an online forum.

Yes, you will go to hell for sinning. It doesn't matter the sin, so divorce will do it.

The question then becomes have you repented? Have you put your faith in Christ? Is he your Lord? Are you following him?

Are you contemplating getting divorced and are looking for some assurance it is okay to do so? or is this idle speculation?

What I mean to say is why ask the question? The reason will be more informative than the question itself.

Just because you're saved from sin and hell doesn't mean you should sin because you'll be forgiven. Romans 6

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Being worried about hell as a Christian isn't the issue here. You're looking for license to sin as long as it doesn't send you to hell. This reeks of immaturity and a total lack of wisdom. Proverbs 9

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

God Hates Divorce. Malachi 2

“For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that He hateth putting away; for one covereth violence with his garment,” saith the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.”

Jesus lays out the only reason for divorce is fornication ins Matthew 19

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

As a saved Christian you shouldn't be looking for whether sins send you to hell or not, but to stop justifying sin.

How about instead of asking if you can sin and not go to hell, you actually spend your effort on living out your Christian walk?

Look my man, you're fond of Matthew 5 so here's some verses from it.

Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may prove yourselves to be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Even if your WIFE was your ENEMY and is persecuting you then you're still called to love her and pray for her in order to be like God.

Pray for God's strength and do what is right. Stop trying to find ways to sin and get away with it.

It's often the case though not always that focusing on living out your walk is a good influence on those around you and can help influence them to change too.

Wow, brother. Just from the length of your question and post, I might guess that there is quite a bit of shame behind this. So I'm thankful you've brought it here, out into the light.

I'd love to hear more about why you're asking, if you have the time?

It depends who you ask, and the state of your conscience and a million other things. Some evangelical Protestants would say no, nothing you do can lose your salvation. A catholic or an Eastern Orthodox would say that you should repent and get the church to declare the first marriage invalid or something along those lines. It’s a very broad question.

For sinning? Yes.

Thankfully Christ sacrificed himself for you so you do not have to.
