Cernovich followed me on twitter, not sure about that
I keep missing Mass , i dont accept communion because of it
I was baptized after birth but because i was atheist and rejected the church for so long do you think it would be good to be baptised again?
I should probably just contact my priest
Cerno gay lol
How did you go from atheist back to Catholic? I grew up Catholic but lost religion by the time i was 13 but now consider myself agnostic
I never considered myself catholic or christian
Even though i was baptised
Well of course until now
I'd like to believe though, actually going to a protestant church with a friend on Sunday
For the past two years
I went to a prot church and while i liked the people they had a band playing and shit
Couldnt bare it
I know the preacher though, very good man
We all need confession. I miss mass too;but we need to recognize this and correct our course. Regarding a second baptism, you were already instilled with the graces given at baptism. No, no "re baptism" is necessary, unless you believe it to be illicit (not in the Trinitarian formula). Go to your priest for confession, no matter what he does during mass, he's able, by the grace of God, to absolve sins.
organ >>> band
I have so much to confess tbh, my sins are daunting over me
The reasoning behind it was never accepting the church in the first place but i will see
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23.
Confront them and confess them. Be absolved of them and be truly sorry.
At this point now I cannot imagine not being Catholic
How else do you learn of the blessing of Our Lord CORRECTLY, i have been to so many prot churches and man they are all over the place with their teachings
The treasury of truth lies with Peter, brother. Be assured, and as Our Lord said, "The gates of Hell shall not prevail" against her.
Matthew 16:18 affirms us forever. Be of good cheer, and pray. Go to confession. We all need absolution.
I have yet to see a prot church with confession
What is up with that?
Do lutherans and the likes not believe in it?
Or do they think you can confess in your head
I was raised Episcopal, we had a sort of confession.
Sorry for the questions im not super in the know on some of these things
The primary reason they don't have confession is that none of the clergy has the right to absolve.
If just anyone could absolve, what then would be the value and price of sin?
The price of sin is death. Not just anyone but the person of Christ can pardon that.
And the priest acts in that Person.
In that act, he gives the pardon of Christ. Seek Confession.
Well said
I have no reason not to go to confession next weekend, need to clear my head of my worries
Be assured of my prayers, brother. And I ask, in your charity, you pray for me. We shall lift high the cross together.
Thank you man, i will pray
