    Confessions of a Reluctant Catholic

    Something Jesus and Moses assumed was happening but is never commanded. Which makes me wonder if it's something we are asking of people unnecessarily.

    Confessions of a Reluctant Catholic

    And we're supposed to confess and repent when we do. Repent means stop doing the sin and do the good. Yes, you can, if you are a Christian...if you have the Spirit of Christ in you. That's part of loving them. But do you forgive first before you love them, or vise versa? What is it to love...

    Confessions of a Reluctant Catholic

    Confessions of a Reluctant Catholic

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom
