Christ teaches that mental sin is sin

high stress levels will increase proclivity to sin

if you think unclean thoughts then you have sinned

Vril-Ya is right about that. Personally I feel great after mass.

whether or not you indulge

I think it's the focus on goodness and appreciativeness

Matthew 5:28

**Matthew 5:28 - New King James Version (NKJV)**

```Dust


<28> But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ```

i wish protestants built better church buildings

:[

even if you don't indulge in it you have committed a sin in your heart

Protestants have shitty churches ?

John 4:13-14

**John 4:13-14 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<13> Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, <14> but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." ```

in the states yes

Yup.

@agag do you understand the purpose "water" plays spiritually?

it is an analogy

he is not speaking about literal water

their architecture pales in comparison to catholic churches

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] yeah He's not talking about literal bread either

water is the purification of the mind

Christ uses analogies for Himself

the water Jesus gives you is the peace you attain in thinking of Him and attaining His bliss, through Him you access the Father

Modern Conservatives are Liberals at a slower rate

a thought isnt sin, dwelling on a thought is sin

the bible is quite clear on what is sinful

it's usually things with literal real world consequences

I wish the green party wasnt just a cancerous group chat of a ton of anti-vax soccer moms.

i didnt say they were

dwelling on them can be

@agag The first step to perfection is to desire and love perfection.

And what can be perfect but God?

Yup

You are taking things too literally I'm afraid.

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] yes you need to desire and love perfection

but you will never achieve it

if we were perfect, we wouldnt be susceptible to corruption

no man will ever achieve perfection in this life

so since we arent perfect all we can do is keep the corruption as low as possible

by rejecting it

i didnt say it did

You haven't seen corruption unless you seen India

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] What exactly do you think of when you think of Jesus?

but Jesus was also born without original sin

designated

only Christ and His Mother were born without original sin, every other person has it

Not sinning+confession and repent and change= perfect

Like if I were to meditate and focus on Christ

i think of a shredded tall white guy with blonde hair riding a velociraptor

what if god is an alien

What is original sin

God is an alien by our definition

no I mean llike the generic discription

alien is just a term that means something not from here

@agag the OT ideas simply ruin the perfect simplicity of Jesus's teachings

you mean a gray?

something like that

or a tallman or whatever

The sin we first gave ourselves.

we have descriptions of what the heavenly host looks like

in most religions

He gave us free will, we chose sin.

i dont know of any that say they look like that

@Fsypro Mary was conceived without original sin, this is the Immaculate Conception

and there are some super weird creatures in the bible

especially in God's throne room

im inclined to believe that every mystical encounter in the past was probably just extraterrestrial encounters

it makes the most sense to me

then why do you reject the next step

Like four faced angels

saying that they're alien is redundant

OI

IM WATCHING YOU GUYS

GET IN THA CAR MORTY

wouldn't you be kinda weirded out though, knowing that you're worshipping an alien

WE'RE GOING TO BENDIGO

bro

Nah.

ABIDE BY TOS

@agag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattva
Spirituality is something you do in entirety. It is also a feeling. When you feel compassion and love, that is existing in the state of sattva. There are cycles to being in all people. You shift from sattvic (goodness) to passion (rajasic) to ignorance and viciousness (tamasic). This is done within a microcosm in your life, as well as all others. And in a macrocosm in society, manifested as the 4 Yuga cycles. This exists in a fractal, meaning you can sub divide the time and corresponding "yuga".

that created us in a tube

Jump scare

and is watching us and made a fake religion

that's a different question

@Fsypro no, Immaculate Conception is that Mary herself was conceived without original sin

"Hence, nothing was dearer, nothing more pleasing to these pastors than to venerate, invoke, and proclaim with most ardent affection the Virgin Mother of God conceived without original stain"
