Material Wealth is meaningless, but Job literally went to Heaven afterwards. The times before Christ were harsh, you had to pay for EVERY SINGLE sin.
No, Jesus died for our sins, so we could live a life free of sin. We no longer have to pay for every single sin as it has already been paid.
Sometimes, God will speak to you through his Voice, sometimes through other things. It depends on Him.
Do not let Judas guide you away from Satan. Pope Leo has released multiple statements on this.
and satan is responsible for the false visions and voices in the heads of people, or it could just be schizophrenia
and we literally do not know most things like we DONT KNOW we cannot know everything
and hell is not eternal fire and burning, but literally just the abyss, where you dont exist, youre dead, because you cant have eternal torture without eternal life first, and you cant have eternal life without Christ, where you wont go to the abyss.
And I unfortunately had little to no spiritual guidance from my parents as a child, so yes, I researched the Christian faith, I was protestant for a while before discovering Catholicism and its teachings, then I chose.
I know of multiple people who are Christians not because of their place, or parents but because of their Faith.
False faiths are engineered by Satan, islam was created because of an “angel” appearing. That probably wasnt an angel
There doesn’t seem to be consensus on that within Catholicism, some Popes have said that it’s definitely a place of eternal punishment, others have said it’s more like you describe.
I guess it’s also up in the air what happens to unbaptized babies for Catholics. In that case the church seems to be going for a sorta quantum theory thing where the baby’s soul is hopefully saved, but officially probably not (maybe to discourage the infanticide conundrum). They pretty much let you pick and choose what you want it to be, since they probably don’t want to tell mothers who lost their baby during birth that it’s going to hell.
Interesting. Considering that every other denomination and faith is indeed engineered by Satan, how did you go about confirming that Catholicism was the only true one? Did you examine Zoroastrianism, the proto-christianity, as well as non-abarahamic religions, before deciding? What made Catholicism the clear winner?
Unfortunately, this aspect is what makes cults and religions such a good comparison to ML, as both have that auto-correcting feature to automatically make the adherent dismiss any information that conflicts with their beliefs as false. In the case of ML, it is claimed to be CIA propaganda or false history. For religions, it is taught that the literal most evil spirit is behind virtually all contrary information.
That mechanism is extremely valuable to a priesthood/leader to retain their flock/followers, as it makes it almost impossible for someone outside of that belief system to show them information that would reveal it to be false.
In a world where there theoretically was one true religion, that same mechanism would also act to keep people in a false religion, as they would have to assume that any other religion is in fact the devil tempting them, even if that person tempting them was from the objectively true religion.
How did you determine that?
Yes. I did. I did a LOT of research, and I have experienced a lot of miracles in my life due to Catholicism.
And its not “all contrary information” it is false faiths. Doubts are good, they help you dive deeper into faith.
What sort of research did you do? What made Catholicism stand out from every other religion?
just looking at the inner values and beliefs of them I guess.
Catholicism stood out because God is all loving, and forgiving, and due to multiple miracles in my life and actual scientific evidence of miracles and proof
Do you have any specific examples of values and beliefs that you liked better than any of the other religions or christian denominations?
My protestant church said that too, and emphasized Jesus’s forgiveness.
Could you share those? I’ve never seen any scientific evidence of miracles despite looking for it.
