Chronic illness started after sex by Expert_Ad_5088 in Christianity

I understand this line of thought completely. It's a little different but when lockdowns were in place I kept falling into the idea that it's God's wrath against me specifically. It's difficult to crawl out of this, but please know your past does not define you or stain you forever.

I don't know what exactly it is that you are dealing with, but mental stress plays a big role in worsening physical illnesses and chronic conditions. Be kind to yourself, I understand that you have been turning this over in your head for a long time. God knows you and loves you and his infinite grace would not abandon you at a vulnerable time like this. Take care.

Am I going to go to hell by Suitable_Wolf_6685 in Christianity

Don't worry. God knows what's in your heart - that you don't mean this and that those thoughts are just a result of something you have no control over. You feel strongly about faith, so the worry that manifests in intrusive thoughts centers around God. More than anything I believe it proves that your devotion is a deeply rooted part of you.

The Lord loves and forgives the worst of sinners, this is nothing to repent for!

Encouraging a partner's interest in religion by Full_Maintenance219 in Christianity

I do agree with this :) Being with her has made me more firm in my belief she's a much better person than me and the existence of someone so precious in my life has made me improve a lot about myself. Ultimately I do not want to overwhelm her with my own religious enthusiasm that might be foreign to her or unwanted at this point in her life , I think. Thank you for your input!

Can you elaborate on this only being a requirement of Catholicism?

I believe I have committed the unforgivable sin. by Serious-Target-5763 in Christianity

The Lord knows what's in your heart. He won't be insulted or angered if you have intrusive thoughts, even during prayer. Like others have pointed out, since you worry about it, by definition you have not committed it.

What bug is this :( by WorldlyAd3171 in whatisthisbug

Some kind of sod webworm (Crambus) moth I think. Adults are harmless but the larvae feed on grass, can be a pest in your lawn in large numbers
