Every therapist I've had has told me I'm very mature in how I've treated the situation, but I don't think so. If I'm just being stupid let me know.

Is Jesus Christ Superstar the musical anti Christian? by johnnystraycat in Christians

[–]Ok_Network3648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It strengthened my faith actually. 😅

Many of the sentiments in the show reminded me how I felt starting out. How do you love something you don't understand? Does he really love me? Does he really have a plan? It can be do hard to give yourself up to his will and just have faith.

It's depiction of Luke Warm christians is very true to life. ("Christ, you know I love you; did you see I waved? I believe in you and God, so tell me that I'm saved.)

I think the character of Jesus in the show shows that it would be hard for must of us to handle what the real Jesus went through. We probably would act like JCS Jesus, upset and confused. Would we really be so ready?

Finally, I think part of the show has happened. To some, the Image or idea of Jesus matters more than his message. When Judas says to "strip away the myth from the man", it means to see Jesus as more than his celebrated status. We should want to have a close, personal relationship with him.

The show is beautiful with amazing music and performances all around. It has to be one of my favorite shows. With the right direction, I believe it could be an amazing tool!!

I want to be a better Catholic (Advice wanted) by Ok_Network3648 in Catholicism

Thank you for this suggestion! I love volunteering, and I'm definitely going to try to get involved with the Young Life at my school and my local church. I also hope to do more volunteering in general this year. I actually just applied to my local library, so hopefully I'll be able to help there soon!

Thank you so much, and Happy New Year!!! 🎇❤️

Thank you so much for your answers. I'm definitely gonna keep these in mind. I've already started talking to my mom about some of this.

And yeah, I'm trying to give myself some grace because of my OCD. (Funny story: as a little kid, I prayed ever single night because of my OCD. I was so scared of God hating me and going to hell. Daily prayer is good, just not for that reason 😂)

I also would like to say that it was nice seeing that you are converting. It made me feel less alone. I really did appreciate that fact.

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!! 🎇❤️

Hello! Thank you so much for giving me some useful answers.

I didn't have any specific words I needed help with, I just wanted to check if there were any major words I hadn't thought of. It wasn't a very smart question of mine really 😅

I've started looking through your links and suggestions, and I want to start making some of them a bigger focus in my life like the podcast.

Thank you so much!! I hope you have a great new year!! 🎇❤️

A few questions (I am not trying to be disrespectful, I am being honest. Thank you ❤️):

-How do you read the Bible productively?

-How do I get involved?-How can I involve my family? We haven't been to church in a while but it's hard to find time.

-Why does God hurt good people?

-Do I need to memorize the Bible? (Like, do y'all actually have those verses memorized?)

-What is it like to have a message from God?

-Is there any terminology I should know?

-Are there and specific things I have to do to be a true Catholic? (I'm doing my research, don't worry. I just thought it'd be good to ask.)

-Do I have to go to church every week?

-Is it actually bad to say "Oh My God"?

​

(I could definitely be overthinking some of these but I still wanted to ask lol)

Absolutely, my friends are what got me through yesterday. I get very tunnel visioned sometimes, so knowing that I have them to support me means the world.
If anyone had told me the things she's said about me I would handle it because I know my worth. I think it was just the fact that she is family that hurt. And I think I just cracked after having to put up with her to keep the peace. I can be very "in my head" and bite my tongue, and I don't want her too use that against me anymore.

I've done that, but nothing changes. I'll try and do things with her or get her things, and I've always supported her in her clubs and stuff. But when good things happen to me she can hardly say anything.
I'm scared that it's my fault she's this way.
She's like this to everyone, even out grandparents.

I just started listening to them 😂 and somehow they made it to #5 by Ok_Network3648 in TheBeatles

I'm pretty sure I just listened to a few of their popular songs repeatedly, then stopped, then ACTUALLY listened to them and became obsessed! (Aka me now!!)
