Will gog forgive me, if I do the sin willingly not because I am weak, rather because I enjoy the sweetness of it.
Afterwards I fell despondency penerate my mind because of my Slothness in fighting the sin and enjoying it.
For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. - Hebrews 10:26-27
@@nit2266 how to overcome it and how to love God more than sin
@@fadianasrallah1915 ask your Priest
@@fadianasrallah1915 Understand it is hurtful to you both spiritually and physically. It kills your soul and your body, it kills your ability to socialize and view women as human rather than objects for pleasure. Or put differently - imagine the women in the industries as your sisters/daughters, how would that feel? It will be utterly disgusting. It's a really hard battle, but it can be overcome by PRAYING, PRAYING and PRAYING. Just set your priorities straight - do you want to remain in this sin and be miserable or do you want to form a God pleasing family?
@@fadianasrallah1915 - It's hard as sin can FEEL good for a short time, but as you say, after we feel guilt and lowliness. Go to Holy Confession, seek a priest's guidance, pray, TRY not to sin. It's hard!
What was the first icon called and where can I find it , thank you
Would God forgive Satan if he repented in some unexpected miraculous circumstance?
Yes. But Satan does not want to repent
By Elder Paisios the Athonite
Once a monk* felt much pain [of heart] and, while he was kneeling at prayer, he said the following: "You are God and, if You want, You can find a way to save these miserable demons who first enjoyed such great glory, but now are full of all the evilness and cunning of the world. Without Your protection, they would have devoured all human beings." While he was saying these words, praying with pain [of heart], he saw a dog's head next to him sticking out his tongue and mocking him. It seems that God allowed for this to happen in order to inform the monk that He is ready to accept the demons provided they repent, but they themselves do not want their salvation.
One realizes from this incident not only the great love of monks, which they receive as a type of boundless love that is of God, but also the love of God, which is ready to save the demons as well, in spite of the billions of crimes they have committed, if only they would repent.
* We know from other stories of Elder Paisios that he is likely here talking about himself, since he later confessed that he once fasted and prayed for two weeks for the salvation of the devil, but the devil appeared to him after all that and merely mocked him.
@@holyresurrectionofchristThanks for sharing this. I often feel like if the devil and demons can't be saved, then I also can't be saved. Also with animals and even insects I see myself and my relationship with God too. Do monks typically pray for demons, or is it considered a waste of time?
@@BMC867 “All of us sin constantly. We slip and fall. In reality, we fall into a trap set by the demons.
The Holy Fathers and the Saints always tell us, ‘It is important to get up immediately after a fall and to keep on walking toward God’. Even if we fall a hundred times a day, it does not matter; we must get up and go on walking toward God without looking back.
What has happened has happened - it is in the past. Just keep on going, all the while asking for help from God.”
+ Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica, Our Thoughts Determine our Lives
@BMC867 No being can repent without physical body (it is impossible better said) and since demons do not have a body (flesh) they can't repent, that said if God knew that they had good disposition to repent he would allow them to repent as he did with humans, beacuse that is what he did with Adam and Eve, he have them the flash (physical body) so they could repent and if he hadn't done that Adam and Eve would have no means to repent and they couldn't be saved same as demons
