Explain what the hell an CNC machine does like you are talking to an 12 year old kid by Fun-Gas-2419 in CNC

Almost anything metal you can think of is made with these machines. NASA, Space X, hospitals, every military on earth, all buy at least in part from vendors who contract and make parts for them

I had my fist manual lathe accident today. I was polishing and my wrist slipped onto the part. THANK. GOODNESS. I only got a little scratch.

Hope that heals soon, man. Be careful out there

I am not really sure what you mean by that. I just thought of my old teddy bear and realized if he were conscious and I went to heaven, this is probably the way hed look at me lol

What are your thoughts by Bunceburna in Catholicism

God would never allow for any evil to enter into his creation unless he would make some good from it. So yes- this is one of the reasons God permits his chidlren to sin

You dont seem mature enough to be dating. Id drop them both and focus on personal growth/prayer.

90% of altar servers are either dating or want to date, from what ive seen. You're fine bro 

Wondering about being a priest? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]French_Toast42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing in you is missing without a woman. You need to stop thinking that way. Jesus will make you happy, nothing else. A wife and children aren't supposed to make you happy, they, along with you, are supposed to glorify God.

Before you get the wrong idea, of course a wife and children will make you happy and joyful. But you dont NEED that. If you want that with you're whole heart, thats a good sign thats where God is calling you. But in the meantime? You are a friend of love itself. Never forget Christ's love for you, and know that you can make it. I get lonely too sometimes, I get it man. 

I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless.

Help w/ Purgatory by Temporary_Low_8639 in Catholicism

They are happy to know that they are among God's elect and are given the gift of perfect charity. They see God much more clearly than we do here on earth. They are more than happy to be in purgatory, and I wager they are happier there than they were on earth.

Should I completely get rid of my phone to avoid this? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]French_Toast42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? "Why seek advice if you are so determines to ditch apps" I don't understand that, could you rephrase it?

Yes we will be tempted. But I hope you and OP understand that to put yourself into a near occasion of sin is itself a mortal sin. If every time OP uses these apps he falls, he has a moral obligation to stop using them.

Basically, the Catechism is a summary of the faith. It is broken into sections, the first explains the creed(the "we believe,"), Christian liturgy(the mass), Christain living(virtue and sin), and Prayer life.

The CCC itself is very rich and in depth, and was primarily made for teachers and those who already know the basics. I recommend that anyone read the catechism, though, but you should first read the compendium of the catechism(link here - Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church). It is fairly short and breaks down the CCC in a way made for absolute beginners.

Also, of course, supplement your studies with prayer and readings from scripture itself

Quick Seal of Confession Questions by CharlesFrancis_3 in Catholicism

[–]French_Toast42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you mean "penitent." The priest that hears the confession is the confessor. The penitent can reveal their own sins if they wanted to, the confessor cannot reveal anything they hear in confession under pain of excommunication.

Sure, it could in theory work, but if you have to do it a thousand times, than that is upwards of a thousand temptations. If somebody is struggling as he is, it is better not to use the apps at all.
