For christians only please!! Help?Why do I ask God to forgive me for the SAME things, over and over again?
I worry about this EVERYDAY. I smoke, and when I do it, i feel so bad. Half of me feels like I should put it out, another half of me wants to keep hittinit.
while im smoking, im thinkin about God the whole time.
I ask him for forgiveness EVERY time i put a cigarette out.
Is that bad, since I keep on doing it?
I go to church as much as I can, and read the bible a lot. Not everyday, but a lot. I pray thousands of times each day..and I really do love God.
But somethings tells me If I really loved him, I would quit smoking.
I feel like I'm taking advantage of God, and I seriously don't intend to.
When I sin I feel so horrible! Even the littlest things. Am I really taking advantage of God, when I'm trying my best to quit? I tell him, I'll never give up, and I'll always keep trying. Am I just being impatient, or is this wrong?

You do not have to ask God for forgiveness for everything you do
Just be a good person and ask God for guidance when you need it. Pray to him when you need help or advice. Good luck.

Smoking isn't a sin, it's just regular ol' stupid.
And god doesn't help you quit because he doesn't exist. Ask some real people for help. You might be more successful that way.

Ending your guilt-redemption cycle first requires that you recognizing it. Now you can work on stopping the guilt.
Christianity is a sick religion that employs the Stockholm Syndrome to win converts. First it breaks people down to make them feel pitiful and worthless, and then offers them redemption by asking them to accept their oppressor as savior.
While that is darned clever, it is about the most unethical set-up I can think of.

i understand you're kidding... but anyway even if there were a god, i don' think there is a place in the bible where they say you can't smoke. you know cigarettes were invented long after that "genius" wrote the book

Um your "god" won't help you quit smoking, just put it out you addict.
