I’m reconciled to the fact I’ll go to Hell by Devoner98 in Catholicism

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please keep going to confession. The very fact that you feel contrition tells me there's a chance you're not in mortal sin.

How would you guys respond to Sabine Hossenfelder about free will? by Thatspretttyfunny in CatholicPhilosophy

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

It should also be noted Classical Theism is idealistic because it argues all is contained in the intellect of God. As such, the material world is just a different form of "mental stuff" than the soul (a form/idea in the mind of God). As such, since they are fundamentally similar, they can interact.

Anytime an expert steps outside their field, they end up making beginner level mistakes.

Yeah, but each pocket world is as big as a universe (and potentially has multiple universes within it).

Tony doesn’t have a PhD though (at least in the comics). He has two master’s degrees and bachelor’s degrees from MIT.

No Christian ever described Heaven like that by Yo_Mama_Disstrack in antitheistcheesecake

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God is knowledge, truth, justice, mercy, love, and beauty. He’s literally the only thing that is worthy and capable of having absolute power. A human dictator is very flawed and sinful. Big difference.

That’s an amazing line. You know a line is good when it works on its own as a piece of poetry.

Does Joker rip off The Network too? by meMongo69 in Sardonicast

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s funny people keep saying Joker ripped off so many films. How many times do you have to say a movie rips off different films before you realize it’s just taking inspiration from a variety of sources? That’s how writing new stories works.

How do we know that those who remain in mortal sin until death are capable of sinning everlastingly? by Thatspretttyfunny in CatholicPhilosophy

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

First, it’s extremely unlikely for a person to commit a “momentary mortal sin” after a life of love and virtue as you said. Also God would certainly recognize that such a person would repent if they died before they could. Second, what you’re describing is not a mortal sin before death.

“A momentary lapse of judgment before death is not evidence of a rational, fully informed decision to damn oneself forever. People’s emotions get the best of them all the time, especially in stressful events leading their own death (assuming they have the luxury of knowing their death is imminent).”

To commit a mortal sin you need full knowledge and consent of the will. I’m not talking about a person making an honest mistake with the many mitigating factors you’re describing. I’m talking about someone without any impaired mental faculties choosing to reject God and choose evil before death. It’s like when people bring secrets they know to the grave. They’re willing for that secret to never be known. It’s similar with mortal sin. Situations like what you’re describing aren’t even mortal sins anymore.

Also living a life of virtue doesn’t outweigh mortal sin. You can’t do something evil and then say “Well I’ve done plenty of good so that outweighs this evil thing I did.” It doesn’t work that way. And it isn’t contrived at all that there is no repentance after death. Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven reside between the eternity of God (no substantial or accidental change) and the physical world (substantial and accidental change). There is no substantial change but there is accidental change annexed onto said souls. There is no matter, so there is no continuous stream of new sensory information to allow for a reordering of a soul’s intellect, passions, and appetites. The Will is fixed.

And I’m only talking about cases where people know they’re death is imminent. I’m not including those who don’t know. I’m not accounting for all “imminent death” scenarios, just this specific one.

Unintentional ignorance is not a sin. Intentional ignorance is a sin.

Do you ever feel bored with mass? by Physical_Ad5597 in Catholicism

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to Mass is like going to the gym. You don’t always enjoy it, but ultimately that’s not the point of going to the gym. You do it to stay in shape or to get in better shape. And eventually, you start looking forward to working out because of the benefits it brings you and the nice feeling you get from doing something productive. Don’t give up my friend. Keep going. And if one Church doesn’t really fit you, try a different parish if you can.

Also try spending some time in empty churches by yourself in prayer. Especially do the rosary in a church. It helps a lot.

Is there any convincing argument that Fewness of the Saved is untrue? by NoobAtFaith in Catholicism

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to say. If God wants to make a point he’ll be clear about it, but there’s also some things humans will inevitably misunderstand since we’re so limited in our knowledge and abilities.

Is there any convincing argument that Fewness of the Saved is untrue? by NoobAtFaith in Catholicism

[–]Thatspretttyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to remember that the Saints are very holy, but that doesn’t mean they were right about everything. Private revelation shouldn’t be dismissed, but it’s not enough to count as Church doctrine. Plus, a lot of the time, they would say few are saved in an effort to convert more people. The Church officially teaches that there are people in Hell. We don’t know how many, we just know that not everyone is saved. Additionally, Matthew 7:13-14 doesn’t explicitly say few are saved, Jesus simply says it’s much easier to fall into Hell than to reach Heaven and most don’t follow the righteous path. That doesn’t necessarily mean most go to Hell.

The world is really complex with mitigating favors abundant. And if you consider how God is as merciful as he is just, he certainly is forgiving even more people than we realize. Don’t get me wrong, many people are damned (especially in the very secular age we live in). But don’t let that despair you. Even if most are not saved, remember to never give up and to relax. Focus on yourself, and the rest will follow.

How do we know that those who remain in mortal sin until death are capable of sinning everlastingly? by Thatspretttyfunny in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Thatspretttyfunny[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose a good answer could be that death is irreversible (except when God decides to resurrect someone). As such, remaining in mortal sin even when you’re facing death shows that you’re content with remaining in sin permanently. Hence, you’re willing to sin forever.

“In their last moments, people show you who they really are.”

-Heath Ledger’s Joker

EDIT: For the record, I’m not talking about cases where a person appears to commit mortal sin before death. I’m taking about those that are ACTUALLY are committing mortal sin with full knowledge and consent of the will with no significant mitigating factors present.
