When Sin Is Right?!!
It is a good idea to tell a Christian friend about the sin so they can pray with you and encourage you. That would obviously need to be someone you could trust to keep it confidential. And if you fall into sin, turn back to God and ask for forgiveness and then keep trying - remembering that a day will come when it will no longer be a problem. Rather we do whatever we can to avoid temptation and deal with sin when it happens.

Outside of a religious context, the word sin is, for all practical purposes, meaningless. Christians in particular consider everyone to be inherently sinful, regardless of their performance. They call this "original sin", and it's essentially a negative blot on your report card immediately upon birth.

Christians don't maintain a list of what types of sins guarantee you a date with the devil, instead they lay out some general rules. The big sins, like murder and adultery, put you on the fast track.
Mortal sins have to be done deliberately. If you simply forget to go to church, accidentally put on a condom, or unintentionally catch a glance of an attractive person and an impure thought pops into your head, such sins are called venial sins and you can get away with them. But if you do them deliberately — blow off church on purpose in order to saw some extra logs on Sunday morning, wear the condom on purpose, or do something deliberately that produces impure thoughts — they are mortal sins. If you do things like this regularly, strict Christians consider that you are hellbound for sure.
By this yardstick, there are probably a lot of us who needn't bother wearing our ski jackets for our burials. Worst of all is the "eternal sin" — to deny God, which cannot be forgiven. Those considering an eternal sin might as well lose a fiddling contest to the Devil right now. The punishment for an eternal sin is the same as for a mortal sin; the difference is that there's no opportunity to be forgiven and get out of it.
It's sort of like being on death row in a state where the governor doesn't have a telephone. When you eliminate activities that injure others or are otherwise wrong, there are still actions considered sinful, basically a long list of victimless crimes. Take social relationships, including plural marriages, same sex marriages, and anyone living together outside of wedlock. It doesn't hurt anyone and it's mutually fulfilling for all participants. But those activities are all pretty high on the sin list. But remove a particular religious context, and suddenly there's nothing wrong with it.
Polyamory is also a victimless crime that is considered sinful: When it's consensual, and hopefully done safely, it's hard to argue that there's any harm.

The list of sins is not static: Using a computer in some way to enhance sexual stimulation is sinful, according to Catholic doctrine and others. This includes a video chat session with your spouse when one of you is traveling.
Hi I just wanted to know , does God forgive you if you keep making the same mistake in a particular area of your life. About the only thing that gets me angry is when I hear the worst of the bad news from the world: But if you do them deliberately — blow off church on purpose in order to saw some extra logs on Sunday morning, wear the condom on purpose, or do something deliberately that produces impure thoughts — they are mortal sins. Sin is an interesting thing. Ever give someone one of those quick fake smiles when you pass them in the hall — as if seeing them makes you happy? The Apostle Paul refers to this process of recognizing sin and being responsible for it as "godly sorrow.
How does that make any sense in the 21st century? Drunkenness and tobacco are big on the sin list. This one's just plain counterproductive. Who among us doesn't appreciate an evening at the club in an overstuffed leather chair, with a martini and a fine cigar, talking politics and blasphemy. Throw in some profanity which, fortunately, is very rarely considered sinful , and you've got the perfect evening.
Drunkenness and tobacco are fundamental to the lives of some people I know, and many of them are not even in jail for anything. Idolatry is another sin that's hard for some to live without. Idolatry doesn't necessarily relate to graven images or statues of other gods; idolatry is the practice of loving anything or anyone more than you love God. For me, the brand names Porsche and Jeep are hard to get past. I do attend church every Sunday morning: My temple of worship is a rectangle at the beach measuring 8 meters by 16 meters and involves the hitting of a synthetic leather ball at other worshippers.
And since I cannot honestly say that there are any supernatural deities whom I love more than my own family, idolatry is definitely a sin that I need to commit every minute of every day, as much as I need to draw breath. Hate and anger are sins in many religions. I don't really hate anyone and I don't get angry very often.
About the only thing that gets me angry is when I hear the worst of the bad news from the world: Apparently, the world's major religions think that I should go to hell because those things make me angry. That loses me right me there. I respect the way some of the faithful such as the Amish can overlook thesecrimes and offer loving forgiveness to even the worst criminals, but I prefer to take the label of sinner and be outraged. I don't know how anyone can claim that they don't practice this sin every day, no matter how religious they are. Have you ever told anyone that you can't go somewhere, or can't do something, when the truth is you simply didn't want to?
You ever stop talking about someone when they entered the room, to deceive them into thinking you weren't talking about them? Ever give someone one of those quick fake smiles when you pass them in the hall — as if seeing them makes you happy? Lies don't have to be spoken and they are usually not malicious, but they're still lies.
