Jesus says the opposite

resisting control first off

entail*

if you care for yourself do you not see the benefit of being under control of a superior being

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] what God judges to be moral is moral

that you get to vet beforehand in this case

intrusive thoughts are guarded against by meditation

have you never been shielded before?

by someone?

having a guardian is not a sign of weekness

@agag God *is* morality dood.

When you do something good, you are aligning with goodness, grace.

what are some good racing games released recently

the problem with that is that people use current human definitions of good

and grace

Jesus died on the Cross and rose again on the Third Day.

forza motorsport 7

and horizon

are great games

This is why within this age we are recommended to practice devotional worship. We chant about God, and we think of Him constantly, thereby purifying our mind at all times.

forza horizon 3?

isnt 4 out

now

3 was great

When you are tempted with sin, you simply remind yourself by constantly focusing your mind on God.

3 was australia i think

This way you align the divine will with your own.

there was an expansion that took you out to an island with realistic hotwheels shit

lol

4 is england

if i remember right

that's not the Christian belief at all

No I think they can

because Christ essentially taught this

God and His Church purifies you of sin

@agag it is

grace is a Christian concept

look it up

through the authority God gave it

The church can't purify you.

Matthew 16:19

**Matthew 16:19 - New King James Version (NKJV)**

```Dust


<19> And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."```

whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven

there's a difference between the church and a church

@agag Other men can't purify you, because what corrupts you is your own mind.

Your own will

you are thus personally responsible to purify your mind

Nor can water. You change yourself, you repent, you get closer.

other followers of Christ and God can help to purify your life

a church is a place of worship which adds to atmosphere and holiness

@agag Do you believe Muhammad (PBUH) is a "dirtbag pedophile loser?"

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] Newman talks about this in Tracts for the Times

he was a warlord that united a bunch of tribes into an empire

i respect that

through the laying on of hands a priest receives the authority to bind and loose sin

http://anglicanhistory.org/tracts/tract1.html

age of marriage is pointless

to argue about

Que...

Where can I buy a copy of the Talmud so I can do a psy-op on my Jew loving granny

@Supreme Leader Kim 🧧 I don't care if he's a dirtbag pedophile loser, he's a false prophet

Jesus warned against people like him

@agag lol I don't want to be rude but the concept is rather absurd, you can test it yourself, observe whether after the process your mind still entertains degenerate thoughts

it will unless you learn to control the mind

which is done through meditation

and prayer

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] sin is constant

Bad trees bare bad fruit.

just because you're loosed of previous sin doesn't mean you won't be loosed of future sin

yes man is totally depraved

devotional worship is to retain vigilance

if you need it

some already are vigilant enough

I will cling to 2000 years of Christian tradition that is taught by the Church Christ established Himself

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] Do you meditate daily?

@agag Through the son you access the Father. How is this done? Through aligning heart's desire for goodness with soul and mind.

I used to

I have no shame in admitting that

you're ignoring what we say and calling it church talking points

lol

I meditate. But it's not for a spiritual reason.

You think of Christ, you focus on Him, and through this you achieve a kind of equilibrium of the body, soul, mind, consciousness

@S u z u why

bro responding doesnt mean you listen

this is what that feeling is in church

do any of you at least believe in evolution

that feeling of pure goodness

i personally believe in adaptation

not macro evolution

dropped

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] the problem with that reasoning is that it's impossible to truly align yourself with goodness

fucking dropped

man is corrupt

that is not something you can change through meditation

we dont have enough evidence to totally prove macro evolution

That's a good point @Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] , lots of unquantifiable goodness.

@Supreme Leader Kim 🧧 I sing and it helps control breathing. It also helps calm me and help me focus better.

you believe that mental sin isn't sin if you don't indulge in it

lowering stress through meditation is good

that's why you don't believe in what I'm saying
