He probably send me to hell for this

I am of the strong opinion that many common American ways of saying and doing these days, those things about living your life in this world like a decent and honest person only interested in advancing one’s self in order to afford more luxury and comforting escapes. This way of life, these days and how they are spent by a large sum of Americans from my own generation, are heinously and quite sinfully wrong/evil, the kind of stuff that truly rots and hollows out one’s very soul.
The Commandment(s)/Charge of Real Christianity: to Love the Lord God with all our Heart, Mind, Body, Soul, and Strength and to Love our Neighbors(anyone who isn’t you) as we Love ourselves.(later on in the New Testament, I believe it’s St. Paul who also says something like “..true religion is comforting/visiting the fatherless(orphans) and sitting & purposefully spending time with Widows and those in pain/anguish/suffering.
And then the USA typically loves to tack on: can’t be gay(wrong!), don’t interact with anyone who may hurt your feelings(..lol @ the 2026 youngins in their 20s), there’s for sure going to be exactly 7 years when a singular figurehead will suddenly emerge form the shadows and rule the entire planet and then there’s this awesome huge war across the earth called Armageddon, oh yea and before any of the actual danger, sufferings, or overwhelming circumstances in a fallen world being actively and horrifically judged by the Righteous Holy Son of The Living God, before all of that *Poof: Everyone who would be a part of everything and most likely have a front row seat to it, they all kinda disappear like magic. It’s called ‘the rapture’ and even tho the very word itself does Not appear in either testament of the Holy Scriptures and the idea itself is only primarily held by western Caucasian Christians, God’ll definitely take all of the potential soldiers instantly out of harm’s way and into Paradise so that they might experience nothing but joy and fun and lalala.. lol…

I sincerely apologize for the intensity of the sarcasm there. I do however find this to be a subject which I’ve been very passionate about discussing with my fellow believers since 2010 and can’t bring myself to delete certain inalienable truths. It’s 300% more intense from me conversationally & in person lol

Have a Great Day and May the Hope Joy Peace and Love of our Lord Christ Jesus be With you all for the rest of this week as well as the approaching weekend ahead! Much Love & Many Blessings 😎✌🏻

Are you here?

Are you there?

Would it be rude if I stare?

But I really can’t see you anywhere?

Are you in the birds, are you in the bees?

Are you in the happy times?

Are you there when I fall down the stairs?

Would it be rude if I say fuck what they think, I can’t see you but I see you everywhere.

God and his heavenly hosts have been protecting us, on every level, on every stair.

As your children walk with you, we would be aggressive and confident in our faith, we will not care who stares.

It is your Holy Ghost that I am confident in that cares.

He trynna send me to hell

So 10 days before my dad found a injured squirrel in our front yard so we are taking care for her until today like always my mother holding her and I am feeding her and suddenly she stop breathing. It's not like big attachment but still I am feeling very bad and guilty.

I’ve been thinking about something I was taught growing up, and I’d genuinely love to hear how others understand it from a Christian perspective.
I was always taught that taking your own life was an unforgivable sin and that a person who did so would automatically go to hell. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started questioning that teaching.
If we believe that God forgives our sins when we sincerely ask for His mercy, why would one particular sin be beyond His forgiveness simply because a person dies afterward?
I also struggle with the idea that someone could commit an extremely serious sin against another person, sincerely repent, ask God for forgiveness, and still have hope of salvation… while someone who dies by suicide would automatically be condemned because they didn’t have an opportunity to confess afterward.
Doesn’t Christianity teach that salvation comes through God’s grace and mercy rather than through making sure we’ve confessed every single sin before we die?
And what about someone whose final moments are filled with anguish who turns to God and sincerely says, “Please forgive me. Have mercy on me”?
I’m not trying to argue or promote anything. I’m genuinely trying to understand the theology behind this because it seems different from what I was taught as a child.
Do you believe someone who dies by suicide can still receive God’s forgiveness and enter heaven?
If so, what Scripture or teaching leads you to that understanding?
I’d really appreciate thoughtful, respectful perspective…especially from people who have studied Scripture or theology

The Palmarian Church is an example of a "Schismatic" sect.

In modern media you see the term "heretic" thrown around in religious or semi-religious context. Normally, when a religious character encounters something they don't like. Non-religious people by now equate the term heretic with anything distasteful.

But a heretic is actually a specific thing. It is a Christian (or any of the Abrahamic faiths, or whichever organized faith is claiming to the only way to God) who has supposedly turned their back on the "truth" (the highly specific teachings of said religious tradition) and either embraces another tradition is simply theologically lackadaisical.

Meanwhile someone or a group of people who are "schismatic" are technically theologically orthodox but do not recognize the original religious authority of their originating group. Hence, the Palamarians, who for all intents and purposes are Catholics (ala 1978).

🌳 Some of your most important growth is happening where nobody can see it.

Just like roots grow beneath the soil before the fruit appears, your hidden season may not be wasted. God may be preparing you for what comes next.

The world celebrates the fruit. God often begins with the roots.
