It may well be proper to ask someone if they have repented for their sins, in a church where this type of discussion is accepted practice and the congregation accepts the scrutiny that the question implies.
This question would be impertinent and therefore extremely rude in most other social environments, including the majority of church environments.
if you don't ask they might think you are stealing from them. It is always proper to ask permission when you go into someone's personal property--don't assume anything.
When someone has to ask this question, the only proper response is to have it done by someone else who already knows how to do it.
God forgives all of your sins when you ask for forgiveness.
yes, but you have to pray to god about the sins you commited and ask for forgiveness
You have to make Tawbah. ________________________________________ to ask forgiveness of sins (to make Tawba) you have have amit that you are sinful, intend not to repeat it, ask Allah (or God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism) for forgiveness. If the sin is related to depriving someone of his/her own right or related to returning back property or related to insulting someone then you should ask them for forgiveness and/or return to them their rights. Then, Allah the All-Merciful my accept your request and forgive you per His will.
I assume that you meant "pray". You should ask for forgiveness for the sins that you have committed once. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). When someone is forgiven it doesn't mean that the person forgiving will keep dragging it up. You are forgiven and that is it. God also says that when we are forgiven, "he remembers our sins no more" (Jer 31:34). This doesn't mean that God actually forgets things, he just doesn't count our sins against us any more. If you keep saying sorry for the same sin, it shows that you don't believe that God has forgiven you. Trust that God in his grace loves you and if you have truly repented, has forgiven you totally and truly once and for all, and that's all you need.
You have to ask Jesus Christ into your heart and ask for forgivness for your sins. Then you can start to go to church, read the bible and pray to continue on your journey in life.
you ask for forgivness for your sins
[note from Dennis C: I didn't ask this Question. Someone else ( Special:Contributions) did, and I merely moved it to the proper area.]
Yes. Allah is so merciful that when someone do a sin and ask for forgiveness He forgives, the person again repeat the same act and ask for forgiveness He forgives until 70 times he do the same and ask for forgiveness He forgives. Apart from a few acts for which there is no mercy, a Muslim can confess for all sins and the opportunity remains unt death. .
Jesus Christ forgives the sins of anyone who believes and asks for forgiveness.
Reconciliation is very important because through the sacrament of reconciliation you are sure that your sins are forgiven. Unlike Christians who pray silently and are not sure if their sins are forgiven, we can be sure. We confess with the priest and say our penance; we know that if we die at that moment we would go to heaven and have no sins in our souls. There are two types of sins mortal and venial; someone who dies with a mortal sin in their soul has little chance of making heaven.
