iTore, you've passed the first hard steps which are being aware of your sins, admitting them, repenting. We all do sin. Not everyone is as strong as you are admitting and repenting from their sins, that's why the bible said it's hard to work with arrogant people who have hard heart they have eyes but they don't see and ears but they don't hear.

All what you need now is to move on n' progress in your spiritual life with God. We all have to do the same because we cannot stay like babes parking at the same spot for the rest of our lives. Don't allow your sins to stop you from growing and progressing in your relationship with God. Like I said, we are human beings and we will continue to sin, but we learn and move on to the next step. It's not the end of the world.

Finally I want to tell you that the unforgiven sin is the sin that we do not repent from doing it and that's NOT your case at all. :eek:

If it were me I'd be grateful that I learned a lesson the easy way and not by having a physical affair with a married woman. Then I'd probably stay as far away from that woman as possible.

In terms of my past relationship experience I've been the one who was the boring, stuffy figure attached to the woman who was enticed by all of the other exotic and exciting males. So when it comes to saying no to others who are married and attracted to me, I would sympathize with their partners more. I'd be more likely to tell them flat-out, "Go away," than have any feelings of sympathy for them.

My time here in CC has seemed to negatively affect more here than help. "You will know them by their fruit"
I certainly don't have much of it,and what I do have is rotten.
Well brother, that's certainly not true. The fact that you even care about mis-stepping and are willing to be honest about this with absolutely everyone proves that you have received the word in an honest and good heart. None of us here are perfect, not a one. I can't say I never backslide or make mistakes. Sure, I might do well for small periods of time but I always screw up somewhere. What can you do? Acknowledge where you are wrong with the Lord, repent, and more importantly.....accept his forgiveness (I think people have problems with this part) and hopefully move on with life with a greater level of wisdom than you had before. What else can you do? We all do this sometimes so there is no point in judging each other over mis-steps, because we'd just be condemning ourselves by doing so.

Though we haven't spoken alot recently, I love you very much brother and I truly feel blessed having you around. That's not just a cliche statement, I really mean it

@ Donkey... love you too bro,and ty. Yer' right...the hardest part much of the time is accepting God's forgiveness. It's one of the horrible thing's you reap when you sew into sin nature...you have the devil there always trying to bring up the past,and tempting you to take your eyes off of the Grace & Love that Jesus has provided for us through His sacrifice.

I'm kinda sorry about that...srsly. Believe me,Catherder already musically chastised me. lol Oh and btw...side note...I realize that I spelled "sew" instead of sow in response to Donkeyfish07's post. By the time I noticed what I'd typed,the 5 min rule kicked in.

Just for Fenner, "The Hills are alive with the sound of music."

And for those who don't love that musical.:mad:

And Itore, it's easy to get lost into our on desires. That's why Christ died on the Cross, because we couldn't do it on our own. And if you need a really good example of God forgiving someone and using them to change the world, despite all they've done, look no further then Paul, or Samson, or David, or even the Samaritan woman.

@ violakat... so true & ty. I forget very often how messed up many of the men & women in the Bible were,and how so many times God used them,or at the very least brought them through or out of all the stuff they were messed up in. Here's to hoping something good will eventually come from my life too.
