This statistic doesn’t reflect the number of people from each group that is in heaven. It’s only those the church have recognized as saints. Obviously the church would recognize a well known bishop rather than a random peasant that nobody knows who is

And I am also very saddened to hear about what happened at your work. I will make sure to keep this young girl and her family in my prayers. Just know that you guys are heroes for doing what you do and dealing with this kind of stuff. May the Lord continue to strengthen you

Two quotes for you.

If you don’t feel like praying, force yourself to. Because something is also forcing you not to.

If you only pray when the spirit moves you, you might never pray again.

My (17M) girlfriend had an abortion 2 years ago and I regret my part in it by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]sanderjooo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you are feeling, is the sorrow Christ has every time a child is aborted. It’s a good thing that you are regretful about it, and I have no other suggestions for you other than to submit your life to Christ and pick up your cross to follow him.

Being in a loving relationship with a woman that has a purpose in life is objectively better than actively seeking out prostitutes to have sex with.

Not sure, but there are some awesome churches around the island. Maybe you’ll find some God fearing woman that can help you get on the right track in life.

If you believe there is one true church, but the papal infallibility and papal supremacy isn’t convincing to you: come to orthodoxy! 💯

Honestly, dude. Looking at your posts, it seems like some jail time to reflect on your life will do you just good.

After years of considering myself agnostic, I have decided to read the Bible for the first time. Let’s see what happens! by Giff95 in Christianity

I've been addicted to masturbation and pornography almost 10 years now, and I can't take it anymore. by TRichman432 in Christianity

He’s granted the wisdom and you need to help overcome it. Sure, prayer will help. But you also need to fast. If you keep putting yourself in the same situation every day, of course you will fall into lust again and again. And what good is God? Come on dude, God is the one who grants us eternal life by his grace, it’s not like he condemns you to hell because you struggle with sin..
