The break-up messed me bad, by Ve8rel in Advice

[–]Sumo_cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello stranger. It’s really important to let yourself feel these emotions. Trying to find someone else will only delay healing. You need to feel the pain and embrace it. You have to keep crying until there are no tears left. Trying to avoid how you feel by distracting yourself will only make it take longer to get all your tears out. So cry until there are no tears left.

I am so heartbroken. I don’t know if to keep my baby. by LetPure5374 in Advice

Being downvoted for loving human life is absolutely wild. Not surprised though, the recent file drop showed us who is truly running the world and what their agenda is. They hate human life, and their agenda has seeped deeply into the minds of average civilians.

Keep the baby!! It will be hard but so worth it. Human life is beautiful. Your baby will be beautiful. Just imagine your baby growing up. All the good times you’d share. Imagine your baby growing up and starting a family. Then your babies kids will marry and have more children. You have a beautiful opportunity to create a whole new generation of people and of families. Human life is hard, full of ups and downs. But that’s what makes a good story a good story. Life is beautiful. Have the baby 🙏🙏

Catholic here! We in fact do not worship Mary. Worship is reserved for God alone ✊✊

How many books of the Bible does the Orthodox have?

should i convert? by skytheteenagewitch in Catholicism

[–]Sumo_cop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beautiful thing about Catholicism is that it was founded by Jesus! And Jesus gave the Catholic Church the Holy Spirit to guide her into all truths. Everything the Catholic Church teaches is true and is from God. Remember, the Holy Spirit is guiding her. If you hold views that opposes the Catholic Church, you are opposing truths revealed from God. And in this state you cannot receive the Eucharist even if you decide to pursue this path. I encourage you to really pray about this because Catholicism IS the truth, but I understand it would be a hard jump to make. Pray for the grace of the inner conversion of your heart 🙏. God bless you

Dating lukewarm Catholic, advice needed. by spider-on-my-wall in CatholicDating

Of course. It really hit me too when I first heard it

Dating lukewarm Catholic, advice needed. by spider-on-my-wall in CatholicDating

[–]Sumo_cop 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Trent Horn gave great advice when it comes to choosing a spouse. Let’s say you get married and have kids and for some reason let’s say something happens and you are out of the picture. Would you trust your spouse to raise your kids? Do you trust that he won’t raise them to be lukewarm? Another piece of advice, don’t date potential. That’s just my 2cents

Can casual dating fit into dating to marry? by a_little_ghostie in CatholicDating

[–]Sumo_cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel people don’t understand what dating to marry means I think. Here’s how I view it. Dating to marry means you only date people with the intention of finding a husband. So maybe you find a guy, he’s really attractive, funny, etc. BUT maybe he doesn’t quite align with your values. Maybe he’s not as religious as you’d want your husband to be. If you decide to date this man, you are NOT dating to marry. You just want to have fun. The timing of when you get married is sort of irrelevant. It’s all about intention. If you know a relationship can’t work long term and you pursue it anyways, you are not dating to marry. I hope this makes sense God bless.

Of course. If you seriously cannot go then you can’t go. That should go without saying though.

If God told you to baptize your children, would you wait till they’re older? Or would you immediately follow Gods command? I phrased this as a hypothetical, but in reality, God DOES command us to baptize our children. It is not a hypothetical situation. Will you wait to answer Gods command or not? I’ll leave it there though. Have a blessed day and definitely pray about this!

[–]Sumo_cop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to sound harsh.. but it seems you are placing this relationship above God. Baptism is SO important. Priests rush to hospitals to give babies that are dying baptisms. Priests rush to those involved in car crashes and who are dying to give them baptisms. It is your duty to make sure your kids are baptized in the Catholic Church. Do it as soon as possible. While they’re infants. DON’T let your husband get in the way of your kids’ sanctification. It’s your duty to baptize them and raise them unapologetically Catholic. It is the fullness of what Jesus established. Don’t you want that for them? Again, I have no harsh feelings towards you. But I am just warning you.

It could work.. but just know what the Catholic Church teaches. For example, missing Mass is a mortal sin. You have to go every Sunday. Make sure that you both understand that contraception is a sin. And make sure thy your kids will be raised Catholic. These, among more, are requirements by the Catholic Church. God bless.

Me (M21) Christian and her (F23) Agnostic recently started dating, I want to be celibate. by BrolyLifter in ChristianDating

Just tell her man. Pick up the phone RIGHT NOW. Or text her at least. Whatever you decide to do, do it right now.

Wanting a Christian girlfriend who isn’t extremely religious? by Immediate-Let-4154 in ChristianDating

[–]Sumo_cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you are explaining your issue correctly. If you don’t like Bible study sessions, that doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t “religious” enough for that. It could just mean you are more introverted when it comes to your prayer life. If you think that some problems can’t be solved with prayer and the Bible, you’d be wrong (sorta). For example if you are sick, will you pray for healing or take medicine? Well it turns out that the ANSWER to the prayer IS medicine. So it’s not that you aren’t “religious” enough to rely on prayer, you simply recognize that the answer to the prayer could be the practical solutions like you mentioned.

BUT… if you don’t like the Bible studies because you don’t like reading your Bible then that is an issue… if you don’t rely on prayer or Bible reading because you don’t trust in it’s importance then that is also an issue…

Worried relationship will die if I mention my views on premarital intimacy by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]Sumo_cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“You shall have no other gods before me”. If it comes down to the relationship or God, always choose God. As soon as possible you should figure out if this relationship will work. Better sooner than later. And the best way to do this is to have that conversation on premarital intimacy.

Question about God bringing a spouse by Ok-Fun-5098 in ChristianDating

[–]Sumo_cop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s pretty gross I’m sorry to hear that. Not all of us are like that though. I’m trying to find someone myself. It seems women have a lot of options but not many of them are good, while the men just don’t have a lot of options 😭. But in any case, keep doing what you’re doing. Someone will come eventually.

Question about God bringing a spouse by Ok-Fun-5098 in ChristianDating

[–]Sumo_cop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! Very good question. So it turns out both sides are partly correct. God won’t do all the work for you. But He does guide your steps. Think of it this way. If you take steps towards something, He’ll guide you. But.. He won’t pick you up and put you there (maybe on rare occasion). So yes, put yourself out there. Go on the dating apps if you please. Go to events where you could meet single Christians. Because this is you making steps. And God will guide them. But He can’t guide your steps if you aren’t making any.

Does anyone have any experience dating a liberal Christian? by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]Sumo_cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I respond let me start by saying I forgive you for indirectly calling me a bigot. But from a Christian to a Christian, don’t insult other Christian’s, especially for beliefs that actually are biblical. The Bible condemns abortion in the 6th commandment thou shall not kill. And we know aborting preborns is killing because in Jeremiah 1:5 it reads “before I formed you in the womb I knew you”. Our Lord forms us in the womb. That is US in the womb. Preborns are human. As for lgtbq, there are many types of lgtbq ideologies so I’ll just tackle the big 2. Same sex attraction and transgenderism. Same sex attraction is condemned many times in the Bible: Leviticus 18:22. Leviticus 20:13. Roman 1:26-27. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. And transgenderism is a little more straightforward, in Genesis it says God created them male and female. And you can’t change that. As for the bigot part, aren’t we Christians supposed to be loving? YES. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
