You don't know how to repent. And it's not easy, or quick.
So we let it slide. Also, busy lives..not much peace, is there.
I can SAY...I don't want this or that but that's only partly true.
Often we're not willing to take the time to...talk to God. So many did this, mock it, or...it's painful. 'Oh, I'll leave it'...and then?
Ten things fill my time.
To this day I need to develop discipline to..review with God.
And you will feel it.

St. Paul, one of Christianity's most recognizable saints expressed similar feelings in Romans 7. I'd recommend reading the book of Romans. It has some answers that you are looking for. Particularly chapters 7-8. I would ask a pastor or priest to go through the book with you. That way they can answer questions you may have about the book.

Your free will is deciding not to do the thoughts you mentioned. You have a choice just as Adam before he sinned had a choice to obey God or not. God gives everyone a chance to be saved. It has never been about being good; it is about accepting the free gift of salvation. What more can God do than offer a free gift? If someone refuses to accept Jesus' sacrifice for them, then there is only one place they can go. You either choose to serve self and Satan, or you choose God. Refusing to choose God means that person has chosen to face the punishment God designed for Satan and the other angels that followed him. You have to understand that we are born sinners. One sin does not condemn you when you are already separated from God from your birth. We are sons of Adam. Jesus was the second Adam. He had no earthly father, because the sin nature is inherited from the father. Through Jesus we are given a path to be born again with God as our father. That is the free gift. If you go to the store and buy something and then do not take it home, then you do not have what you bought. It is the same here. You have the gift of Jesus. If you do not take him home with you, then you do not have him and eternal life with God.

Satan wants people to be confused but the bible has the answer to all life's questions and it contains the truth.
God gave us free will, we are the ones to decide if we will obey him, follow his commands, live up on his standards or not. We are free to do what we want but each actions has its own consequences. If we read and study the bible we can be guided by what does God wants and on how to make him happy and we can also learn about his promises for us in the future which God gaves us a hope of everlasting life in a paradise earth. There are so many advantages in reading the bible, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Free from what? Free from all the false teaching and doctrines that Satan entices into the peoples mind like the teaching of hell, Satan wants us to believe that God is wicked and cruel that he punishes the dead in a fiery place of eternal torment. But the truth in the bible says that hell is the common grave of mankind or burial place or cemetery
Source(s): God is love and he doesn't punish people or cause people harm. He thus gives us a better future, a hope to live peacefully and happily in a paradise earth forever. - ?Lv 66 years ago
Well some forms of christianity those people go to heaven anyway if they lived as really good honorable people, at least that seems to be the current catholic naritive.
And look at it this way , those thoughts of rape ,incest ,pedophilia , there is a option to go to a legitmate doctor to get help for that.
And society is opening up to homosexuals at the moment so in a way you can see that as reducing the burdon and allowing you to become yourself.
You have the free will to let yourself either be dictated by your abnormalities or to live a happy life with them.
Source(s): Humanist atheist , but if it comforts you i not going to tell you ohterwise, you obviously need it. - Anonymous6 years ago

All you need to worry about is doing Gods works and loving Jesus and God with all your heart. Accept Jesus as your savior and ask him to forgive your sins and to save your soul. the rest will fall into place. "good" people go to hell because we are born into this world as sinners. the reward for sinners is death and wrath (hell). that is why we must ask Jesus to save our souls and repent, so we can be saved and live eternally with him (heaven)

I can clear this all up for you.
Gods don't exist.
