How do I know when I am forgiven of my sins? and If I am forgiven, why do I still feel guilt?
 
You are forgiven when the priest declares absolution. You still feel guilty? That means you are a good person! A little guilt is okay because it reminds you not to do the same thing again.
 
“His Mercy is endless and NONE of ours sins could be stronger than His Divine Mercy.” So beautifully said.

Edited for clarity.

One of my big fear is when I die and confess my sin, that god will change his mind and send me to hell?
 
God would never change his mind and sent soneone who is repentant to hell, because he WANTS you to be with him.

If you sincerely repent and make a good confession, you can be sure that all your past sins have been forgiven. God’s mercy doesn’t play tricks.
 
You do not “feel” forgiven, you KNOW that you’re forgiven. Just because you feel guilty, does not mean that you are guilty.

It can be dangerous to base things on feelings, because they are subjective, not objective.

You know that you’re forgiven when you are truly sorry for your sins, intend not to sin again, intend to avoid the proximate occaisions of sin, confess your sin, and the priest gives you absolution, then you are forgiven.
 
I think that Satan tries to get us to feel guilty about forgiven sins to drive us into despair with guilt and doubt. When that happens I truly say aloud “Get behind me, Satan, I have been absolved of these sins , you Father of Lies”.

That’s all it takes for me to alleviate that good ole’ Catholic guilt we are somewhat known for.

I’m glad you included the participation required on our part.
It’s important for people to realize that if they are not sorry for their sins, and/or have no intention of trying to avoid committing the sin again, then even though they confess it to the priest and he speaks the words of absolution, the sin is not forgiven.

Yes. I feel like a lot of Catholics don’t realize that the form of the sacrament of confession comes from the PENITENT.
 
I have disgusting thoughts about god and Jesus, and I don’t how to control my thoughts! If I go to confession every month will god forgive me
 
Go as often as you need to. Fortnightly, weekly, monthly, Be guided by your Priest. And when you get thoughts, start praying. Pray the St Michael prayer. Learn it off by heart and push those thoughts out and concentrate on the st Michael prayer.
There is also a very simple Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus have mercy on me,

God will always forgive you until the moment after death and then like jeopardy your answer is locked in.
 
I have nasty thoughts about god and Jesus will he rlly forgive me?
 
I am an atheist returning to the faith. I have done deplorable things. St. Augustine supposedly had sex in a church. God will absolutely forgive you as long as you are trying to repent and change the behavior. Gods like a doctor right he’s there to be like this behavior isn’t great and it could lead to more serious health consequences. He will always see you (forgive you,) doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you to stop though. Just be sincere in trying to stop and all things are forgivable. Take a few breaths and relax knowing above all else God is merciful.
