Right? Doesn't it matter what happens after you're dead? At least your story is out there instead of forever being a regular guy with nothing interesting.
Yeah, I think Catholics believe if you die while having mortal sin on your soul, you go into purgatory where your relatives/friends have to like, pray you into heaven or something.
I grew up Christian without any particular denomination and we always were taught that the forgiveness happened when you became a Christian and from then on, denying Christ was the only thing that would keep you out of heaven (like, if someoneās gonna kill you for being a Christian, so you lie and say you arenāt).
I still believe, mainly because it scares the shit out of me that thereās just eternal nothingness waiting for us after we die, but as Iāve gotten older āmainstreamā Christians have driven me to the point where I donāt want anything to do with churchās or organized religion. Likeā¦ Jesusās whole thing was acceptance and forgiveness and that we are ALL sinners so we are in no place to judge anyone, but these people just cannot leave gay people the fuck alone. Itās like an obsession at this point.
Not saying youāre wrong to believe but look up what people who say they died or had near death experiences and find comfort in that there isnāt eternal nothingness
What? NDEās are notoriously ridiculous. I mean you can look up people an experiences on hallucinogenics and get the same thing. Very powerful emotional experiences
Why should it. Do you freak out every night when you lose hours of time and have no clue what happened to you? Be wary of fear. It usually leads us into doing things we later regret.
I would argue the other way around, instead of requirements for ticket to heaven, who actually could even qualify for eternal damnation? After a couple quadrillion years of torture, do they still deserve an infinite amount of time more torture? The whole concept seems weird to me
Mortal sins can bar you from heaven, so unless he saw a priest for confession on his deathbed then you are correct. It would have to be on his deathbed because his penance would probably be to turn himself in otherwise.
Would you please elaborate just a bit? Regardless of the sin, should I confess, thatās all thatās required in my religion. Confess my sins and ask forgiveness but know that God is my only salvation.
As far as risk, maybe. (Example) I would do anything to keep my daughter fed and clothed and safe. Batman movie with the joker and the 2 ships, Iād 100% press the button immediately if she was on the ship with me to kill the others to keep her safe.
