>>6064794Remember never let your heart get filled with hate for anyone, and don't give yourself excuses to do so nor correlate Christ teachings with anything that's hateful or violent, its not about this earthly life that we're fighting for, focus on the things above and your good deeds. be with Jesus, friends

>>6066800Oh yeah?! Get prayed for, friend!
>>6064794I feel as though I've crucified my own soul. Man can crucify his flesh or his soul, and I've done the most sorrowful ladder. It's not pain of heart I feel, but emptyness and coldness. I've betrayed myself, and that is a very great sin. That might be the worst sin, and I don't know if I can be saved. All I feel is the abyss.
>>6068850If I could see my own soul, I bet it'd be the second most terriffying thing next to Hell. A mans soul should be the one thing of greatest urgency to him and yet I continue living for the pointless and passing things of this world that will all die. I don't beleive for a second it's over for me, but I don't know what I must do to be saved. I still haven't gone to an Orthodox Chruch, despite years of interest in it, which is painfully inexcusable, because it's really neglect that I haven't. They aren't the nearest, but possible to go to. Darkness burdens me yet I've done nothing. It scares me.
So tell me about this Ioshua dude and why do mutts hate his teachings.
I've defiled the image of God within myself. I once mourned over this, following a period of spiritual desolation which forced me to eventually address it. I felt pain of heart then, and whatever progress I made, I can say for sure it was true repentance, but I fell from this. I returned to a sin that felt like to "unrepent" and I never truly got up since, maybe because I wasn't partaking in the spiritual medicine truly needed to address it. I've fallen back so much further though. I feel at square one. Sometimes I have a sensation which almost feels like I want to recoil from myself, though this thought feels almost more like a temptation.
>>6064794What about all the other gods in the bible?
>>6068875You know, it's funny, I happened to open to the end page of Joshua after reading your post. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%2024&version=KJV
>>6068850>I don't know if I can be saved.Who helped in the martyrdom of the first martyr? St Paul. He was forgiven, saved and made among one of the greatest saints. Do you think you've done so much worse than him? >>6068860>I still haven't gone to an Orthodox Chruch, despite years of interest in it, which is painfully inexcusable, because it's really neglect that I haven't.That's normal. It's a scary thing to go to this great place because Satan makes us think it's like a hall of fame. However, the Orthodox see it as hospital for the sick. Of course this isn't about physical sickness primarily. >They aren't the nearest, but possible to go to.Just going once a year will be so much better than yearning for it for decades. Even if you don't go, at least call a priest and you'll feel refreshed. >>6068865>but I fell from thisThat's what we do. As the monks say: "We fall and we get up. Then we fall and we get up. We fall again. We get up again.">though this thought feels almost more like a temptation.Satan loves to tell us we are worse than we actually are. Do not listen to him. >>6068875Fake 'gods' that come from demonic influence. >>6068861Because they don't want to hear that they can't just kill people for oil or should remain faithful to exactly one partner of the opposite gender.
>>6068896Thank you. Takes some weight off. Almost made me want to laugh at myself.
>>6068912You wouldn't be laughing at yourself but what the demons convinced you of. They are masterful debaters. That's why we don't hate the sinners but the sin.
