Can a true Christian continue to commit a particular sin? Like sin of porn watching
Upvote:3
Let's state some general Christian principles on the subject of forgiveness. There are some minor variations in the approaches of different denominations, but nothing very serious.
- God's capacity for forgiveness is unlimited. it's a doctrine of most churches, well supported by scripture, that God can and will forgive all sins that are truly repented, whether or not they are repeated. (For the one, very unlikely exception, search for "unforgivable sin" on this site.)
- However this does not give you permission to "ask for forgiveness" with the intention of repeating the sin. Forgiveness involves repentance, means that you will attempt, to the best of your ability, not to repeat the sin.
