You can't prove or disprove what you can't comprehend
We humans have a funny way of attributing coincidence, or events that can be explained easily by science to the supernatural
If you pray that your team will win a baseball game, and you do win, then you assume you won because of divine intervention
if you lose, then you assume that it was not meant to be
But how can so many of these coincidences happen
How can my life improve so much after I started praying
Why does praying give me such a state of tranquilty after years of feeling like a pathetic being
And thats ok. A sort of meditation
Members of every religion feel this
Yes, but not every religion holds the same values
The eastern orthodox perception of life and values coincide with my own
What I found in christianity feels the most righteous to me
And I hope you may find the same thing
poop
now what
Can any of you guys help me with some sins I may have commited but forgotten. It has been literal years since my last confession so I ask for some understanding. What I have written for now is: lust, wroth, deceiving people, jealousy, envy, pride, not forgetting the wrongs others have done on me and drunkness
I am a sinful person but I want to renounce as many of these sins as I can
Ever disrespected your parents or authorities in any way?
yes I did
thanks for this
imagine unironcally being a heathen
even Saint Mary of Egypt was a grave sinner
but God found in Its ways to forgive her
after she admitted her sins and renounced her life of sin
but first i need to be reminded of my sins
you are absolved of all forgotten sins during confessions, IIRC @Alex R.
also the little black or red prayerbook will have the 10 commandments of which to use for examination
Thanks a lot for this insight. I will look into it and see if I can find one in my language
Yeah, tbh I wouldn't be super scared of forgetting a sin and not being absolved
@Quarantine_Zone really? feels weird tbh like imagine going back in the next day?
like imagine confessing a sin from like kid days as an adult
nah nvm im dumb
ignore what i said
?
Confess all of the sins you know
But you need not worry about every single sin you've ever committed
You commit many everyday.
There is no way to remember all of them
well yeah but I feel that after living my life this bad I need to search my conscience a little harder to find them
this may be really dumb
