I just wanted to post this...it was a story that I have always held close to my heart in my recovery...and I wanted to share it today...that God gave me a second chance after my adultry, and many many other chances for many other sins...and He continues to help me to try to live a life without sin, and to ask his forgivness for the sins that we make every day as humans...as His Son died for my sins... God doesn't have special places for different sins...all sins are sins...
It's in the bible...it's John 8:1-11 - If you need a good interpretation of what it is saying - there are many on the internet <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
For FWS's struggling with guilt and forgiveness of themselves..Go to God...He will forgive you and wont condemn you. He will help you.

1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
