OK so I have several questions - it is really hard for me to come forward to it but I'll shoot straight. I became addicted to masturbation when I was around 4 years old I am now 17. I have been raised in a Christian home my whole life and would consider myself very close to God. Although it's not one of the things that listed black and white in the Bible I know I need to stop or I wouldn't be convicted. I actually haven't done it in almost a week and I feel like I am over coming and getting better. My questions are: 1) That verse in the Bible about "he who continually sins will not see Life" but there's also a verse about how he forgives us and remembers our sins no more? What's the deal does God really forgive me even though it is an addiction or am I a lost cause. 2) I'm still avirgin in the since of the word is this something I am going to need to discuss with a future fiance or close guy? Is it like no big deal to him or will it change the way he sees me? 3) Am I still pure even though I've done this alwful thing? Thanks guys I feel like I am gaining ground but these are some long term questions I've had
