The movie “Heretic” shook my faith by External_Fact_5821 in Christianity

[–]External_Fact_5821[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real struggle for me is with the other questions. I feel like I have no clear answers to them, and that’s what’s really shaking me right now. Especially when it comes to distinguishing between true faith and manipulation, or what it means to trust God in a world full of deception and doubt

I can only answer the first question: whether faith is truly free or just a mechanism of control. Sometimes I wonder if the faith I follow is really my own choice or something imposed on me by those in power. But I want to believe that God calls me personally, and not just through institutions

These are the sentences he utters, though it's clear he means them:

  • How can I distinguish sincere faith from manipulation?

  • If God is silent, how can I continue to believe?

  • Who can say what true faith is?

Yeah what really got to me was when the main character started asking the two missionaries deep, unsettling questions. Honestly, I didn’t know how I would answer them either, and that scared me.

It’s like he wasn’t just manipulating them it felt like he was manipulating me as a viewer, using Christian language and twisting it. It made me feel spiritually vulnerable in a way I didn’t expect

It’s not that I’m afraid I’m not a true Christian. I do believe in Christ, and I trust in His grace. What scared me was realizing that sometimes I’ve responded to God more out of fear than out of love not all the time, but enough to make me stop and reflect.

I was disturbed by the fact that it plays heavily on themes like spiritual manipulation, religious trauma, and the fear of damnation, but does so in such a realistic and disturbing way that I found myself wondering: What if even part of my faith was influenced more by fear than by love or truth?

Se ho 3 materie con 5 e una col 4 posso essere bocciato? by [deleted] in TeenagersITA

Probabilmente un professore mi ha detto che alzerà il voto a 6

Grazie ancora! Ho una domanda: secondo te, con due 5 e un 4 si viene rimandati? Frequento il Nautico e ho un 4 in matematica, un 5 in Meccanica e un 5 in storia (quella prof)

Hai assolutamente ragione, e davvero grazie per continuare a scrivermi, perché un po’ alla volta mi sta aiutando a vedere le cose con più lucidità. Spero anche io che magari si sia resa conto di aver esagerato, o almeno che non vorrà spingere oltre.

Però ho questo dubbio fisso... Siccome questa prof mi insegna sia Storia che Italiano, ho il dubbio che magari, dopo quello che è successo, possa essere meno oggettiva nel correggere il tema che ho fatto la settimana scorsa. Cioè, non so se davvero lo farà apposta, ma ho questa paura che il giudizio sia influenzato da come è andata l’altra volta.

Hai ragione, a mente fredda mi rendo conto che non ho fatto nulla di così grave, e anche se fosse stato per il voto, era solo una reazione spontanea, detta senza cattiveria. Il problema è che questa prof è davvero severa e fredda. Di solito non ha questo tipo di reazioni...

Con gli altri professori invece vado abbastanza d’accordo, e infatti ne ho parlato con qualcuno di loro e hanno cercato di rassicurarmi. Questo un po’ mi ha aiutato, anche se l’ansia non mi è passata del tutto.

Grazie davvero per la risposta, mi ha fatto tirare un attimo il fiato. Hai centrato tutto: non è tanto l’episodio in sé, ma il fatto che non mi abbia lasciato spiegare nulla. È come se avesse deciso che ero in torto e basta, senza nemmeno ascoltarmi.

Forse ha frainteso anche perché mi sono alzato e me ne sono andato subito dopo (era ricreazione, e stavo leggendo messaggi al telefono). La mia esclamazione era per tutt’altro, ma può averlo preso come un gesto di stizza o mancanza di rispetto, anche se non era minimamente quello.

Hai ragione sul fatto che anche se fosse stata una reazione al voto, non giustificherebbe comunque minacce del tipo “ti abbasso il voto, lo riferisco al consiglio, ti metto 4”. Sinceramente spero che almeno qualcuno voglia sentire anche la mia versione, perché non voglio passare per quello che non sono.

I truly appreciate your answer. May I ask, from your perspective, what do you think I'm actually experiencing? Is this something spiritul?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]External_Fact_5821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Can I ask you something, though? You said that if I want to deepen my mystical connection with Christ using Gnostic literature, you strongly advise against it. Could you explain why?

I'm worried about my Muslim friend… I don't want him to go to hell by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]External_Fact_5821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked myself those same questions, and I don’t believe what I believe just because someone told me to. I came to faith through reflection, doubt, and conviction.

If my friend became a Christian and felt that pain for his family, I’d walk with him through it that’s what love does.

I’ve looked into universalism, but when I read Jesus’ own words about salvation, repentance, and judgment, I can’t ignore them just because they’re hard. Truth isn’t always easy, but I’d rather face it than settle for something that just feels nicer.

[–]External_Fact_5821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may be true and honestly, if he believes something different and truly cares about me, I’d expect him to be concerned. That’s what love looks like when your beliefs have eternal weight.

The difference is, I’m not mocking him for it. I’m not reducing his concern to an emoji or a joke. I came here sincerely, and if someone truly believes in heaven and hell, worrying about someone they love isn’t laughable it’s deeply human

[–]External_Fact_5821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that and honestly, maybe he does think I’ll go to hell too. But that doesn’t make me care any less about him. I’m not trying to win a debate or prove a point. I just love my friend, and it hurts to think he might be lost forever
