If I want a happy life shouln't I choose my normal or should I fit forcefully in a thing that dosen't fit?

Don't go through life chasing what feels right. If that's the case, I would still be doing heroin. I don't get huge spikes in emotion when experiencing things other than drugs, everything pales in comparison. I drool when hearing it or when I was in that circle being offered it, there's times I wish I can go back just once. We all have vices, some drugs, debauchery, lust, what have you. That doesn't mean one should do them because it makes them feel a certain way. Chasing that feeling is having a greater love for it than God. Which God is love and those feelings are selfish, the opposite of love. Hope this helps.

And without this part what remains: personal growth just to do it is not worth or desired, at one point everyone would feel the absence of meaning; profesional growth can only bring you money on long term, among other things, but work is work and without a meaning wouldn't bring pleasure, and whatever how much meaning you give to your work work will feel like it is pointless at one point. Whatever how much you enjoy your work and whatever how much your work helps other you will feel lost if your life only have work, if your life dosen't have a meaning. A family, a person to love and to love us is everything we all desire. And love, if is it pure then it can not be a sin. God would forbide love, God encourage love.

And sometimes love can be physical but most of the time is emotional. Love can manifest itself in multiple ways. The bible says that if you ask for forgivnes for you sins they would be forgiven.

[@DigitalTownSquare]

All sin is equally wrong, but not all sin is equally bad. I would rather be robbed than murdered. Both are equally illegal, but I don’t know anyone who would say they are equal. This is especially clear regarding sin against other people. In the Old Testament, some offenses brought about the death penalty. Others were along the lines of “an eye for an eye,” while others carried a punishment or repayment of some sort. The Old Testament Law spends much time instructing Israel how to deal with the earthly results of sin and crime. God gave us the instinct to have common sense regarding which sins are worse than the other or are relatively the same. All sin does separate us from God. Just some have more of an impact than another. Just like a sentence handed down from a judge. If we know something is a sin and we willfully continue in that sin bc we want to pick and choose what's right or wrong, we are playing God and therefore are separated from God. That's when we can go down a path of being very vulnerable to being tempted by the devil. The longer that goes on, the harder it will be to ever change up your mindset, fight your demons, and repent. You'll see street preachers on YT conversing with people who don't believe in Jesus or God and they always yell, scream, curse the pastor, and sometimes incite vandalism or violence. You'll never see that type of behavior from a true Christian.

And then to think that you may have gambled wrongly and be condemned to eternal hell fire??? I have no expectations, and when I die I sees to exist. In the case I am wrong, and there is a God, I would hope that He, She, or It will not be the vengeful, genocidal, one that is portrayed in the bible, because when the bible was written there was no concept of true unconditional Love.

I am so happy that so many bishops are standing firm for the word of God. Here's the thing, the Church has already been doing INDIVIDUAL blessings, blessing sinners so that they would have help striving not to sin, although I believe that the ROSARY is the answer to that prayer and genuinely desiring not to sin anymore and genuinely desiring to know Jesus and to LOVE him; the answer is going to Holy Confession and then receiving the Holy Eucharist so then the Spirit of God will be poured into a CLEAN Temple... now this is what is going to help in striving not to sin, with our Mother Mary's Grace. But here's the thing this document says that although these homosexual fornicating couples go to church together they slept with each other the night before, they wake up go to church holding hands receiving the blessings and then they go home and then have more sexual relations with each other again and just live life just how they were... now this document is supposedly saying that even though they go up as a couple, that they are INDIVIDUALLY receiving this blessing... well I don't understand how this could be since the church already gives INDIVIDUAL blessings!!???? the church already does this, so if the pope is now allowing individuals to go up hand in hand with their lovers, then he is Not blessing them individually he is blessing them has a couple! & people are not stupid therefore I'm so Very gratefully happy that these bishops are standing up for what is Right which is the Word of God VERSUS conforming to worldly views, to modern views. The Word of God is Never going to change, and when each of us INDIVIDUALLY goes to get Judged by the Just Judge Jesus, we're Not going to be holding hands with our adulterous or fornicating homosexual lover at that point.

Abu-al-A'la Maududi Page 191 English Traditional *31) "They have taken their scholars and monks as their Lords the Holy Prophet himself explained its true significance. According to a Tradition, when Hadrat `Adi bin Hatim, who was formerly a Christian, came to the Holy Prophet with the intention of understanding Islam, he asked several questions in order to remove his doubts. One of these was: "This verse accuses us of taking our scholars and monks as our lords. What is its real meaning, sir? For we do not take them as our fords." As a reply to this, the Holy Prophet put him a counter-question: "Is it not a fact that you accept as unlawful what they declare to be unlawful, and lawful what they declare to be lawful?" 'Adi confessed, "Yes, sir, it is so." The Holy Prophet replied, "This amounts to making them your lords." Incidentally, this Tradition shows that those who themselves set limits to the lawful and the unlawful without the authority of Allah's Book, assume for themselves the rank of Godhead, and those who acknowledge their right of making laws take them as their Lords. It should be noted that they have been charged with (a) attributing sons to AIlah, and (b) giving the right of making laws to others than Allah. These are to prove that their claim, that they believed in Allah, is false, even though they should believe in his existence. But such a wrong conception of AIIah makes their belief in Allah meaningless

We are “all” children of god, which god? Here’s what the Word of GOD said.. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. We become God’s children when we are saved because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ Only those who are born again are “children of GOD “ , the rest of them is just GOD creation.

Being homosexual is not a sin, because we don't choose to be homosexual or heterosexual. The sin occurs when we give into the temptation and act on those feelings. Just as is is a sin when ANYONE has sex with someone they aren't married to. I have always known I was gay (or technically bisexual), in my younger years I committed mortal sins with more people that I can even remember. When I was 30 I fell pregnant. After my son was born, something inside me changed. Fast forward 10 years: I am still attracted to women, but I can resist my temptations and have since met a man who I love in a way that I never thought was possible for me (with a man, that is). We have beet together almost 3 years and not only has he told me he wants to become Catholic, but I feel like God has united us to save eachother. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@saint5203]

Nobody is claiming to be without sin. Simply stating that being homosexual is a sin. It means that you cannot go into gods house asking God to exempt you from this one sin which is essentially what they are doing. In my opinion it’s disgusting. It’s not natural and its perverted. It’s certainly not from God. These people are trying to twist the word of God and I’m sick and tired of it. They’re trying to penetrate the church with their views and opinions. There’s absolutely no place for allowing any sin in God‘s house. Being gay is just like any other sin it is not exceptional. The problem is when you ask God to accept your gayness. Nobody should be put in that position in the church. I could care less about gay people and what they do in their own time. I have sympathy for them and I pray for them. When they try to bring their agenda to the church I will be vocal and at least state my opinion. I’m a sinner. Just like they are. when I go to church I ask God to forgive me of my sin and I try to change through his help and through repentance. I don’t go to church asking God to accept one of my favorite sins whatever it may be. That’s precisely what they do or are attempting to do. If you’re gay. Ask God to help you change. Repent. Eternity is at stake. Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy.
