It does rely somewhat on interpretation too

Freewill means we can believe what we want he is not forcing to believe him but that's why there is saying we have freewill that can end us into long suffering lasting for eternity

John 1, 1-14.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.

amen brother amen

Holy Michael Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. -- May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust down to hell Satan and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Listened to this Latin mass for today - 4th Sunday of Advent
The homily message is to abstain from worldly things and repent to prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus.

wait your not allowed to go ut a nd celebrate mass?i just had the grace of god to partake in the latin mass.(covids not much of a problem here>

masks required... and I don't do masks... and I prefer Latin mass which I went to as a child, which local churches do not do.

yeah it's quite embarasiing when your required to wear masks in the temple of god,when idiotic scum swarm into night clubs and hotels half dressed.same thing here though everyone wears a mask just to be safe

If one doesn't consider themselves safe in a Church.... I can't finish that.
Wash hands/face; don't touch face; cough into a hankerchief/tissue; keep appropriate distance when in public places.

That why my church doesn't do mask and but they kinda do the 6 feet apart thing

Same, and on Christmas Eve I don't think any sort of precautions matter to us since Christmas is a reminder that God is with us and we can put our faith in Him. For some of the older folks we take a little precaution, but even they don't care about being sick

yep same logic here as well,i really feel bad for folks in carlifornia though

Yeah, i really pray for these people in very democrat states cuz they can't even openly practice their faith because of cOviD. Smh that's messed up how many restrictions they have on public places

some how this doesn't apply to the ogliarch ruling carlifornia, these athiests just see this pandemic further their message of how religion is incompatible with society, glad to see that some people still stand firm in their faith, respect!

We going to have a chirstmas feast still with the church

We're going too, cuz Lori lightfoot ain't stopping us

Nice

Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Much older than your father.
Job 15:10

Lol among us

I'm glad my church we just trust that God will allow what will happen to happen and there is nothing we can change. Instead this way we can come together each week and mostly worship as normal.

Nice

yes. as long as God is with us we have nothing to worry about

I’d like to discuss with Catholics actually, if any of you are down then ping me lol

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord , who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Psalms 91:1‭-‬12

Who pinged me?

I didn't mean to ping u

Oh ok

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Revelation 14:9‭-‬11

this but unironically

It's an amazing thing when one realizes how much easier it is to do something when you have a friend or two to back you up. If you got your buddies with you, the whole world can be arrayed against you, and you'd be able to shrug off all corruptions of the world like rain on your skin.

Whether for good or bad... If you're scared of doing a good thing, find a few other cowards as comrades, it makes the shame more bearable... But when you are surrounded by evil, just one other righteous person by your side can ensure that you will not tread the path alone.
