Once your "god" keeps children from being molested by priests then I might listen to what you have to say. Until that happens, Your words have no validity .

@rovingdesertfox Because, you haven't forgiven yourself. Your feelings are important, but just because YOU haven't forgiven yourself, doesn't mean God hasn't.

Your answer was so thick with dogma, no one would ever be able to make their way thru it to comment on it. What religion says is: Have faith in what we say, based on how we interpret this book and you will be saved. Even though none of what we say can be proven, if you believe it (and give us 10% of your income) you will go to everlasting bliss, if you don't you'll be damned in torment forever. I think that pretty much takes all the niceties out it and exposes the sham you have going.

I believe we have come to the time where people who have not been paying any attention at all to what religion has actually been saying, are beginning to connect the illogical dots. God with unconditional love suddenly now has conditions. Interesting. You see, when you get up to preach you select sections and talk about them, but you never put the whole subject together....if you did, people would be walking out en masse, if they suddenly started paying attention, which they probably will not

Wow, you have said a mouthful there. So, God creates me, and after anywhere from 1 to 100 years let's say, decides based on my actions, whether to allow me to live in everlasting agony or everlasting bliss. Is that right? Just recalling that he has also given me free will to live and grow and experience life here on earth, how is it that he just revokes that privilege upon our death? So, first he gives us free will, we exercise that and then he judges us for it? I think not my friend. cont

Why doesn't a person who has just had their sins forgiven, not feel a bit different
than the minute before he was forgiven? I have never heard anyone comment on feeling any different at all. And since the forgiveness must happen at a soul level,
this has to be a huge occasion. Why is it not felt or even provide a different framework for proceeding on with one's life?

@rovingdesertfox You ask a good question.........our feeling of forgiveness comes and goes.........but our feelings are not important.......it's our faith that is important. We have saved by faith...not by feelings. there are times that I do indeed have the feeling of joy over my forgiveness.............but even without the feeling, I know I am forgiven.........and that gives me peace....

@nschaub Thank you for answering. I hope you don't mind me continuing with a thought.
What does saved by faith actually mean? Saved from what and faith in what?

@rovingdesertfox Hi........saved from sin, death, and eternal damnation.....this salvation is promised by the one true living God in His Son, Jesus Christ who established peace with God through the forgivenesss of sin by Jesus' death on the cross for the sins of the world, canceling the world's debt of sin. With sin paid for, death has become defeated because death is caused by sin. So, all who believe will be raised from the dead to live in a new world. Faith believes this and saves.

I am a Roman Catholic. In the Catholic Faith, I can not receive the Eucharist if I am in a state of MORTAL SIN. I have to confess that soon ASAP. I am in a state of MORTAL SIN all the time! thats why I give up on confessing to Priest. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus gave authority to Priests to forgive sins. What if someone has a sin to embarrassing to confess to a Priest, is that person damned?. Please enlighten me on this Paster Lassman, GOD BLESS.

@ARIESMYSTAR HI........Quite frankly this is a bit too complicated to answer with the few words given in this block of space. Whatever the sin is...you cannot accept/defend it...you must hate it...wish to be rid of it and in sorrow confess it to God desiring His forgiveness for there is no forgiveness without repentance....and His forgiveness is given...not only through the Priest but also in your baptism and in the Eucharist...that's what the Eucharist is for...forgivnesss.
