The tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud
it is hidden from your eyes
Jesus wouldn't want you reposting this stupid shit over and overkill yourself
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me
Do not let your hearts be troubled

Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the descendants of Abraham? So am I.

Sorry to be a beggar but if you could pray for me I'd appreciate it.
I am human.In the beginning, there is inner chaos, pulling us away from God.God with us, cantrip spells.Instinctual Schizo-forensics at the source, drove a peaceful ruler to annihilation and meaningless dancing. Such a sad state of being. Not the kind of fruit I want to eat.Meditate on this:To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”What objective reality does this reveal?How does my finite mind structure or limit my understanding of this truth? What a priori assumptions or biases do I bring?I pray for clear thinking, intellectual honesty, a love of truth, and the grace to let reason lead us toward God rather than away from Him.Show me my limits, direct my intellect dynamically toward God, and encourage the truth I see to actualize through me.In the morning Lord, help me conform my mind to reality while humbly recognizing my cognitive filters.And at night, as I lay down to rest, show me Where did I treat opinions as absolute? Where did I fail to seek objective good?I will ground my decisions in objective natural law and virtues.I will ask, what is the purpose of this action? Does it fulfill my nature as a rational creature oriented toward God?I will actualize, knowing that my actions are a covenant of what I will to become a universal law. I will honor personal autonomy and universal respect.Seek objective good.Acknowledge mental categories and biases.Universalize and reconcile with Jesus Christ.
Even when thoughts get wild and make us want to do silly or angry things that hurt ourselves or others, we choose not to grow that kind of fruit.Jesus tells us:“If you hold on to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Let’s ask ourselves:What true thing is Jesus showing us here?How does our own thinking sometimes make it harder to see clearly?Lord Jesus, help us think clearly and love the truth.Guide our minds and hearts toward You.Show us what we don’t yet understand.Turn what we learn into good actions.In the morning: Help us see things as they really are, even when our brains see them a little differently.At night: Show us when we acted like our opinion was the only one, or when we didn’t choose what is right and good.Help us make choices that are fair and kind.Help us ask: “Does this help me become the person God made me to be?”Help us treat others with the respect we want for ourselves.And most of all, help us follow Jesus in everything we think, say, and do.Jesus, You are the Truth who sets us free.Make us Your faithful friends and followers.Amen
Sometimes we want to do wrong things.But God is with us, and Jesus is close.Jesus says: “Hold on to my teaching. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Jesus, help us love the truth.Help our hearts turn toward You.Help us do good things.In the morning: Help us see what is really true.At night: Show us when we were unkind or unfair.Help us be kind to others.Help us become who You made us to be.Help us follow Jesus every day.Jesus, You are the Truth. Set us free.
Sometimes we want to do bad things.But God is with us. Jesus is close.Jesus, help us be good.Help us be kind.In the morning: Help us see what is true.At night: Help us be sorry when we are not kind.Jesus loves us.Jesus helps us.This is truth.
Jesus with us.Jesus help. Be good.Be kind. Morning: see true.Night: say sorry. Jesus loves us.Jesus helps us."Truth"

John 9:2And His disciples asked Him Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind? John 11:8The disciples said to Him, Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again? Mark 9:5Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah Mark 11:21Being reminded, Peter said to Him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered John 1:49Nathanael answered Him, Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel Matthew 26:25And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, Surely it is not I, Rabbi? Jesus said to him, You have said it yourself Matthew 26:49Judas went to Jesus and said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed HimMark 14:45Judas immediately went to Him saying, Rabbi! and kissed HimMark 10:51And answering him Jesus said, What do you want Me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!

There is absolutely nothing supporting the claim of a god and anything attributable to a god can just as easily be attributed in the invisible pink unicorn (this is how brain dead religidiots are). Only helpless indoctrinated children and retarded brain damaged adults believe in a god. Mary was a slut that was gang raped by browns and lied about a virgin birth to save from being stoned to death.
I foolish, confused, and retarded sinner. Please pray for me.

>>6198059>Psalm 32:1-5Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.For day and night your hand was heavy on me;my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”And you forgave the guilt of my sin.>>6183268

>>6203950 fly from everything that is evil.Without God, nothing happens.
Can I be sure there is no such thing as good in me if my flesh feels like my prison? I feel like there's absolutely no respite for my existence. I often think my flesh is a curse and I hate it. I often feel my existence is grueling and I feel at times as if my existence is a predicament. I feel pain every single day and often just want released from this, even if ultimately, if I think about what that might mean, I don't know if that's a good thing.
>>6204331God created you. God doesn't make mistakes. Therefore you're not inherently evil. Meaning even if you were completely evil by now you could still change back.

>>6193697you sure? Jesus was walking, talking and debating all the time
>>6195377It's so obvious to see this here. Not a lot of people realize that the christian ethnoreligious groups in the middle east represent the actual native descendants of those areas. Take Iraq for instance. Those are Assyrians/Chaldeans, aka the actual Babylonians.Egypt is the same too. The coptic language is literally Egyptian.Those people from bethlehem? They're basically descended from the Jews and Canaanites who converted 2000 years ago.Islamic palestinians are descended from rapist invaders in the 7th century and modern israeli jews are mostly southern/eastern european derived.

how do priests combat loneliness and the longing for womanly love?
>>6207239Children
>>6207262priests are celibate
>>6207239>>6207263Orthodox priests don't need to be celibate but married. They fight their lust as we all do when we are tempted to stray away from the one we're married to - by prayer. In that sense it's not different from other sins which may be tempting to us.
>>6207280im not orthodox
>>6207433Considering the RC considers Orthodox saved we have to consider the Orthodox priesthood as valid. The rest of the post applies regardless of what kind of Christian you are.
>>6207438but i dont wish to get married
>>6207445No Christian is forced to marry
>>6207449okay so what should i do to combat the /feels/?
>>6207455Pray, if that doesn't help do something charitable, if that doesn't help do some hobby. In any case, don't entertain the temptations, flee from them because the demons are smarter than any of us
>>6207460>Prayany tips?
>>6207467I'd use >>6193667, but you can also use the Lord's Prayer, the nicene creed, 'Lord, take this temptation from me', 'Most Holy Mother of God save me', '[My Patron], help me'. Personally I like to sing songs from the Divine Liturgy or services in specific times.My only advice regarding this is to stick with something established or keep it really simple.
>>6207480thanks
>>6207480wait but what if the Lord wants me on this path? like what he wants me to start a family? wouldn't i be going against his will?
>>6207545No matter which path is right for you, lust isn't for you. Even if you're married you shouldn't lust after your wife.
>>6207263No they aren't. All priests rape children.
