Sorry to post this two times ( under Sin and here) but i think that this question deserves a new topic.

Now what i am about to say may sound like an excuse to carry on in sin, but trust me, my heart is sincere:

Now, from what i have understood of convertion, there is a repentance from the sinner, a belive in Jesus and an acceptance from God which follows through with the help of the holy spirit in stopping the sins that we find hard to stop, and a relationship with God which results in a profound peace and the certainty of Heaven. Now who would refuse such a gift? Certainly not me, espeatialy as im promised to be happy if i do (the goal of everyone in life).
Now here is where lies my problem:
– I personally find it very hard to belive, and am far from fully believing the bible (can help it)
– I am not anywhere near repentance since, the way i have run my life is what i allways thought best.
– I will never be able to stop doing 70% of the things i love doing because they are sinfull; by myself, nor will i fell like stopping them (unless of a miracle)

Now after that, im prepared to become a christian if God can answer those problems. I think that if i pray every night that God would show himself to me, and read his word (for an answer) then all i can do is wait. In otherwords ive done my bit, the rest is Gods work.
Am i right???
I am ovioulsy going to carry on doing what i like(sin) until something happens, and if it doesnt i cant be to blame(despite the fact that im a sinner, cos of adam and eve).
Does that sound a bit proud? is that right?
Because if i never get touched, or God doesnt respond then it isnt my falt but eve’s.
Thank you for listenning, may the real God bless you.

I thank you greatly for your answer, i have rarely had such a clear and logical answer to my questions. To be honest i recon that all my questions on Christianity and God have been more or less answered. However there is one thing i have yet to fully grasp, and that is Conversion, which i am considering at the moment.

Ok, i tryed to understand where sin came from, and why would God be so mean as to through us all in hell, what a wicked thought. And i got an answer, it was more all less that God is the only form of goodness, and that all hell will be is the “The non existence of God (goodeness)”. Well i personally agree with all you principles on Sin, something bad cant ever be worth doing, and if it is all bad then ok, stop it. BUT IN THAT CASE WHY IS SIN SO ENJOYABLE?
when i take trugs i feel like i am in heaven, i though sin was the lack of all good, then why is it so nice to us???
