that you can rely on yourself better than the being you would worship

He does through His Church

the Church has the authority to bind or loose sins

but original sin is constant

until after the Resurrection you will be stained by it

what's the point of a test if the teacher passes you in the middle of it and gives you the reward before it's over

@agag The 3 threads of nature are: sattvic, rajasic, tamasic. The state of purity/goodness, passion, ignorance/evil.

no, no man can live a sinful life

even after becoming faithful

im not saying im better than anyone, i'm just saying the thought of worshipping something, anything at all, seems like a scary thought to me

To understand natural law is to understand how these interplay.

we are all corrupt

reverence of an unchanging ideal is the core of faith

I have aspergers, and part of that comes with an intense feeling of not wanting to feel like im being controlled

so

worship seems scary to me

really? Do you think that after you become faithful you'll never look on a woman with lust? Or commit any other sort of sin?

i dont get aspergers

@agag Your OT Yahweh is characterized by passion and at times viciousness. But Jesus Christ never acts out of passion. Only once really in the temple where he whips money changers, but that was entirely just.

you can't live a sinful life in this world

no man is capable of it

my brother in law supposedly has it but all the symptoms seem to stem from a lack of understanding of certain things

like what?

@agag what do you believe morality is specifically? the act of being moral, what does it ential?

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.
