Stu is a Bible literalist (YEC) so God will only forgive us 490 times then we get baked for eternity.

Yea I'm in the negative, I must have compromised with the word of God too many times instead of believing what God wrote in clear plain old English in the KJV.

God doesn't just judge our actions, He also judges our intent.
Some people keeping sinning regardless, they are just simply not strong enough or may have a "addictive personality" or a whole bunch of issues that no one other than God can judge them on.
That is why ONLY GOD can judge because only GOD Knows why we sin.

The sacrifice of Christ is for all sins that you will commit, as already said by many here, but many who ask this question and should be asking it, do not realize that the problem is not so much the sins which they are committing - continuously, but whatever is causing their addiction to it. You are undoubtedly suffering on other levels and possibly in denial of it. The mind has a way of cutting off from reality. And the only way that you have been able to comfort yourself is through some useless and hurtful idol. Christ is your confidant and you need to find out what you are in pain about. Use a professional counselor if you have to, who can help you to be objective with whatever you are struggling with. The most common causes of pain are abuse in childhood, dis-empowerment, bullying, a lack of connection or absence of your biological father, disconnections in family relationships, abandonment, misunderstanding, suffocating emotional ties, etc. Part of growing up, is to face your loneliness in decision making, as well as recognizing your security with God. Jesus will help you process the real causes of your sins and help you overcome them, with knowledge, love and maturity. 'Gospel pills' and sensational experiences will get you no further than Monday morning. Be awake, determined and work it out.
