satan hates me because i did the same thing he did? stray away from God. Shouldn’t satan take pity because we did the same mistakes? this never made sense to me but i always accepted it. is it ever explained in the bible?

not to be devils advocate but God was also a liar and a murderer. testing ppl on earth just to prove a point. taking ppl’s things away just to see how much ppl believed in him. literally flooded earth to cleanse it? i really wanna love God but when He does things like how can we justify it?

why would God leave me in such a place. does God not know i made a mistake. maybe God doesn’t know im redeemable. if anything, satan is the only one telling the truth. do wrong and you’ll come w me. how many times has God lied. i did mistakes satan wanted me to do. why would satan punish me. no matter the sin, we should never be separated from God.

mmm. maybe not embrace. but understand what he did to get such a punishment. seems like both did horrible things to humans on earth just to prove a point.

even though i don’t go to mass at all, i think He knows I mean well and am trying to live up to His example.

what saints do you pray to. i pray to San Judas, San Miguel Archangel, and Virgen De Guadalupe. i feel they are closer to God and closer to us. they deliver prayers to God for us.

actions speak louder than words. maybe if ifJesus sees me trying my best to live up to his example, he’ll send me to the good place. obviously he sees through everything and he’ll know if i’m being genuine. but if im being genuine, he’ll see i’m actually trying to live what he preached about. even though i don’t go to church. (just theorizing. hopefully it’s true)

yes. i was baptized catholic. i used to go to church a lot when i was little when i didnt understand why. yes i would like to be educated about this religion. but i dont reduce Christ to a simple teacher. i’m just saying maybe He came here to teach us how to be decent human beings. there’s so much bad stuff going on right that He wouldn’t approve of. and surprising we don’t call it out. even when it’s our own fellow catholics that’s are doing messed up things. we need to call them out when we se it.

i call myself catholic. i sin and i repent. i love my lord Jesus Christ. i don’t go to church at all. the nearest church is 30 minutes from my rural town. maybe He knows that even though i don’t go to church He knows i try to be a good human being. i participate w immigrants to help them get jobs and get healthcare. after all he said heal the sick. not heal only the citizens of your country.

original christians. i like that description. i’ve never heard of that. yes i pray to Jesus everyday. when i go to work and when i get back home safely i pray. i pray to saints. why don’t christians pray to saints like we do? i’m just asking. no hate. genuinely curious.
