Many seem to be debating of how better to prepare for death.
Some are even actively promoting be faithful unto death itself.
Wouldn't time be better spent flushing the source of death: law.

There are those who state that God made them Homosexuals,well God made me Heterosexual.
If I decide to practice my heterosexual desires outside of marriage which can only be between a man and a woman then I have commited Adultery and that is a death sin.Its the same with those who are homosexuals, if you decide to go out and practice these sinful desires you have commited a death sin.But as long as you and I deny the flesh we are saved,Praise God!!
James 1:12 "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Vs.13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Vs.14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Vs.15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Vs.16 Do not err, my beloved brethren''

Sorry about the last asking of this question. Jeez! I totally blew the spelling on that one. Just so you know, what I would do is have mosquitoes suck fat instead of blood. What about you?

How rich did the original disciples get off of teaching Gods word? Or did they teach for different reasons than getting rich?

If one desires to be in Heaven when they die, are the not dependent on such a thing?

In other words, some people enjoy spending money because the happiness they get from it fulfills them. However, since one needs to continually shop, the happiness is dependent on spending.

As well, those who smoke cigarettes will find happiness with the relief it brings, however, they will need to keep smoking.

If one finds happiness in a motorcycle when riding, are they happy? What of when they are not riding, are they miserable?

If you rely on heaven for happiness and God for happiness, then are you really happy? Without God, without the idea of heaven, are you happy? Don't just say "of course" because I will not believe it. In order for one to truly say "yes" they must not cling to such beliefs, not "long" for such occurences to follow.

In order to be liberated, one must be free from all, including thoughts and ideas.

Are you happy/dependent clinging to heaven/god beliefs?

christian beliefs were taken from pagan beliefs in one form or another, even if christianity made its way by saying that anything pagan was heretical. They derived a lot of their holidays from pagan holidays etc...all you have to do is educate yourself the sources are limitless. Christianity was structured from paganism, the what to do' the what not to do's, some of the stories are similar and the christian holidays.

a form of worship and a form of not making the name of a useful object in vein and when using it and calling for it, not using the name of that object in God's kingdom in vein?

But this object has a purpose and it is good for that purpose, oft times better than any other object for it's suited purpose and so logically called upon by name, a god's name! A mini part of God!

When I call for that object, I pay homage, I do so reverently making sure I called for the right object to help me with my job!

I worship this object for it's intended purpose. And I think Jesus was alright too!

If I use the wrong name, requesting the use of this object, I would be taking that name, that common label for that object, in vein, and I could expect to not get the results I might be looking for, right?

So I worship that useful object properly and functionally, taking care of my duties at hand. And you? What do you do?

Ever since my little brother got out of prison my whole family has been targets--the cops make it incredibly clear that all the "special attention" we're getting right now is because of him--we're honest, law abiding people with no records of our own, and suddenly we've been getting pulled over twice a week so that they canm ask us what he's been up to, where he is, etc.--he's been working and sleeping and that's it--this is an impossible situation and I need to take some kind of action

I'm wondering because a lot suggest that hell exists and if you don't believe, that's where you are going.

Seems like using "fear" as a tactic for belief is very similar to a Government official stating that exact same thing to get people to do what he/she wants. This is a proven tactic. Just because it's within a religion doesn't make it any different.

It's quite proven that a state of "fear" leaves people desperate and willing to do anything to save themselves.

I'm wondering why fear is such a huge element of belief for some.

Can someone explain our state after we die? What I mean is, can someone provide the information on what happens when we pass away and wait for Jesus? I know that we sleep, but is there anything else that I should know?

Hi there. I have been having a really hard time since I broke up with my ex boyfriend. It was a mutual split at the time but now I wish it never happened. See, I am still in love with him and would like to get back together with him so badly, if it is God's will of course. I was wondering if anybody knows of a good Catholic novena that has credibility that I could pray for the intention of getting back together with him. Thank you so much for all your help.
