1 John 1:9
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
the thing is IF we confess as it says.
Don't be confused by the nonsense of.
"Well since its the same Sin maybe God just won't forgive it" that is a funny statement because we do the same sins everyday. We all fall into being prideful, selfish and unloving. Ever waste your time? That is a sin you know, just wasting time. How often do we commit that sin?
We all need to confess daily I believe.

Adding on to what joe already said, God will always forgive you if you ask Him to. And not only will He forgive you, He will bless you without you even asking. Thats the grace of our Lord. Usually we do not forgive ourselves and try to think God will not too... But His love is for us is greater than His wrath or judgement.

I think the short answer to your quetion is no. There is no sin that God will not forgive us for as long as we ask for that forgiveness. To me it's really a question of rerpentence. And remember repentence is more that feeling ashamed or sorry for the sin that has been committed. It has to include a positive action on our part, i.e. a real effort to remove ourselves from the circumstances that lead to temptation that wil end in sin. I think the first and most powerfull action we can take is PRAYER! Continually ask for Gods direction and help in avoiding those circumstances that lead to sin. then take whatever physical steps you can to avoid situations that can lead to that temptation. Time and again Gods word tells us to RUN from those situations. Having said all this I can tell you as a 50 year old guy there are sins that I have struggled with all my life. I thank God every day for His grace and for help in overcoming my sin. Remember sin is our nature. We are born into it. But, through Gods undeservrd love and grace we can overcome it. The fact that this issue concerns you tells me that God is working in your life. I'll pray that God helps you in this matter.

Like others said I believe as long as your sincere there is nothing he won't forgive. It really does have to be sincere though. Sometimes when we say sorry to someone we don't necessarily mean it, we just know it's the right thing to do. With God it will never work that way, you can't put up a front with him. He searches our very hearts to see if we speak truth.
would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart? - Psalm 44:21
or
..The Spirit searches all things even the deeps things of God. - 1Corinthians 2:10
I believe this is why a lot of prayers go unanswered when it comes to the likes of repentance, it's not that god has not heard it. He simply knows you never meant it.

It's a lie I have heard so many times and as in everything bad I proudly blame it all on the devil, what a liar he is!!!! Always remember what a liar he is. He wants you to stop believing in God, He doesn't like it when you see God's love for you. Nw I am a mere human and I don't knw you but through the spirit of God in me can see myself forgiving you for whatever. Hw much more does God, if He was willing to die for you? Disappoint Satan, Trust in God's love and promise of forgiveness.
May God give you strength.

i needed to hear this!
I'm pretty sure that the Bible says if you are genuinely sorry and confess, you will be forgiven. I can't remember however where the passage was that says He would eventually "give them over to a perverse mind," but I believe that's more in reference to the people who continuously commit the same sins, aren't sorry for it, and are making no attempts to stop doing the same sins.
Anyone who has the actual passage can correct me on this lol I may have interpreted it wrong.
