Like Mary Jesus got upset with mary

Penance is basically your payment for your sins. When I go to confession or reconciliation, I follow up with penance like extra service, extra prayer, etc so that I may be truly saved from my sinful nature

You can't pay for sins

you canrt pray your way into being good.. you cant do extra work like that

Which is un-Biblical. The Catholic church only created that because the pope wanted to be rich

If you can pay for sins.vthen Jesus sacrifice was pointless

Maybe it’s not the best way to word it, but that’s essentially my belief. How do you reconcile your sins?

the best thing is trying your best to follow his laws and that includes "jesus's" teachings

we cannot reconcile, we repent and turn around meaning, stop doing it and stay on the right path

it sounds like you are catholic froshe, is that right?

By having faith that he forgive all your sins. Because even though some sins seems bigger than others hey are the same amount to God.

You ask God yourself. He forgives you. Nobody can repent for you.

I would argue the sins aren't the same

murder isn't the same as coveting

They very much are in the eyes of God

I believe that true repentance includes deepened prayer, the sacrament or reconciliation, and promising to move forward on a better path and following through. But if there is no way to reconcile on earth and no purgatory, truly how are we imperfect humans to make it to heaven

Removing a human life from this world isnt the same as stealing a toy

or candy

Jesus himself even said that no sin is greater than any other in the eyes of God

Yes

By God's grace and his forgiveness

We have to die to sin and be reborn with the Holy Spirit to Even be able to follow god

where

And yet we still sin

Anyone can follow God by repenting

Exactly! I just think I take repenting more seriously by having a priest help me

A priest can guide you but not forgive your sins

You can still sin but now you have to option to follow god.

do you also think mary is God's mother, like most some catholics?

That why we pick up are cross every day

A priest has a closer connection to God and can again intercede on my behalf and bless me that I may be forgiven.

When it comes to forgivness, all sin is the same in God's eyes. Matthew 12:31-32 "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

Mary is Jesus’ physical mother

Wrong you can have a better connection to God more than a priest

how do they?

I still struggle to strengthen my relationship with Jesus sometimes

i know, im asking if froshe does

Because they have dedicated their life to service and undergone the sacrament of holy orders.

if you have stopped at dedicate their lfie.. I may agree

Many battles, many losses, few victories

but then you went on to holy orders
