Many souls live a miserable life, a wasted life on this earth, and then go to hell of their own volition and folly.
Please do not let this be you. Our time here is short, our lives are but a vapour; only eternity truly matters.
Everything that is good comes from God. Heaven is perfect good, it is the total fulfilment of what we have all been longing for... Whether we longed for material wealth, power, drugs, pleasure, success, or anything else... God is what we have been seeking. God alone can satisfy us.
That burning hole inside you, that emptiness that you cannot seem to fill, that hunger that is not satiated with food, but rather increased with gluttony; that is the inner turmoil wrought by our fall from grace and separation from God.
I wish I had the words to make you see things clearly, but that will take study, faith, and prayer on your part.
Please accept and love Jesus Christ. Go to church. Live through the sacraments. Pray the Rosary. Do penance... Just please save yourselves.
Reunite with God, your maker and your Father. His hand has been stretched out towards you all your life, He will not forsake you or let you down... Grab His hand NOW and accept His grace!
>please ask any and all questions about the faith... All welcome. Catholics/Non-Catholics/orthodox/Protestants/atheists etc...
I have done all of the above and received no answers. Im at the point now where i try to believe, but simply dont. How does one truly connect?
Matthew Foster
I'm miserable and want to kill myself. I currently hate Humanity and someday hope we go extinct. I look forward to the day Rome finally collapses. Sweet release of death.
Hunter Sanchez
Any society that isn't grounded in God and faith is doomed to collapse. That's what the alt-right gets wrong, they want a society based on racial nationalism, not that I don't believe that racial homogeneity isn't important, but it is secondary to God.
Joshua Gonzalez
What's your opinion on fasting? Is there a proper Christian method for doing it?
Evan James
>I wish I had the words to make you see things clearly, but that will take study, faith, and prayer on your part. I believe you but the realities of every day life give us different challenges. Where I am there is no god anymore. I hope for my salvation regardless.
Lincoln Bailey
Can you honestly say to yourself you have earnestly sought the truth?
>read the gospels >find a traditional Catholic Church >be baptised >pray the rosary properly, every day >pray for faith, humility, and knowledge wisdom and understanding >learn about God... The church fathers and The Summa by Thomas Aquinas is a recommended starting point
If you have done all these things and still nothing, I would look at yourself. Are you committing sins against purity? Meaning masturbation/excessive sex? These things kill the soul and turn one into a beast.
Google "nofap" for the many, many benefits of male celibacy. You will not regret it.
If you do these things you will have faith in abundance.
Evan Myers
tl:dr Fuck off, you're no better than Muslims. Invading all European cultures and wiping them out. As a result effectively creating societies of cucked drones listening to your Pope preaching about 'tolerance' and 'forgiveness', advocating for communism, as women are being raped in droves and children are being blown up in front of your faces.
Justin Wilson
Fasting is great. It brings us closer to God and away from the flesh.
I used to fast but I have really grown slack in this regard.
I used to just drink water for a day. It's important to abstain from sin and pray when you fast... We are not Muslims, our fasting must be virtuous lol!
Google "black fast" for the way the church traditionally did it
Liam Wood
There is no "sweet release". Our souls are eternal my friend... Our rationality, our abstract reasoning, our intellects are proof enough of that...
You only have one choice. There is no "out".
Look at it this way, you have tried without God, what have you got to lose now? You have only got your pride and misery to lose.
How do I know it's pride? I used to hate myself and humanity too. God saved me and I understand the mindset.
God bless you brother, I wish the best for you and pray I will meet you in heaven.
Jose Cooper
Amen. Exactly right. The reason for our chastisement (our displacement) is our rejection of God.
Repentance is needed, less materialism, not more.
William Sullivan
I want to try with God but I'm so lazy and consumed with sadness that I don't see the point. What if it doesn't get me anywhere? What if it's all futile?
Jack Wilson
Why should i ''repent" when i Will probably go to hell for the things i have done over my life even though i try to be a good And kind hearted person? , the future is my eyes bleak especially in the way i see it And i kind of have come to accept it is what you would call the "black pill"
Mason Gomez
I can tell you that it absolutely isn't futile, would you believe me? I can't make you try, I can't make you believe, only you can do that.
But I understand the sadness, look at it like this, when God wipes it all away, you will appreciate Him all the more. I certainly do!
You have experienced life without God. You are blessed to know what God is because you know what He isn't... Understand? God is the opposite of this sadness. This sadness is the lack of God. Hell being the complete lack of God, the absence of all goodness.
Sins against impurity are the number 1 alienating factor when it comes to God... Leading to destruction of self and much misery. Google "nofap benefits" and bet your life on the truth of them. You will be a new creature my friend...
I'm not presuming anything, but it is safe to say that most young men masturbate fairly regularly, not knowing what it is doing to thier body, mind, hormones, and ultimately their spirit.
I commend you on your desire to find God, this desire means our Father is calling you, you are blessed, rejoice and be saved! I pray for your conversion and healing.
Gabriel Davis
God will rub out all of your misdeeds, it will be like they never happened. Such is the mercy of God.
However "bad" a person is, God takes immense joy in seeing them made anew!
The "black pill" really just means "being resistant to the mercy of God, choosing to suffer, choosing hell."
Do not choose to suffer. If you are kind hearted, which I don't doubt you are; resonate with Jesus Christ. Read His words, read about His death, He did it for you; follow Him. You can trust Christ when He speaks. Learn, pray, and seek the Kingdom first!
Christ is the good shepherd and we are His sheep. This is not demeaning to us, it is the way it is. We are lost without our shepherd, without God, we are prey.
Remember:
>"every sinner has a future and every saint has a past"
God bless you

Juan Hughes
I'm already abstaining from masturbation and pornography. It's degenerate. I'm on Day 7 now, long way to go. There's a hole in my life that needs filling, maybe it need God or something I don't know. I'm so depressed and miserable.
John Hughes
Nudge-bump for the soul out there who needs a nudge in the right direction.
Pray. Know that if you are seeking God, that is God's grace working secretly within you, motivating you. Cooperate with His grace; ask for grace to enlighten your mind. Promise God something (you will know what to promise) that you will do (or stop doing) if He reveals Himself to you.
Jonathan Wilson
>There's a hole in my life that needs filling, maybe it need God or something I don't know.
These words echo those of Augustine: “You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”
Or, as Pascal put it, “There is a godshaped vacuum in the heart of every man, and only God can fill it.”
>their own volition Nice meme. Free will isn't really a thing.
Blake Wilson
I know I shouldn't jack off so much, but I do it because it really relieves stress over my girlfriend leaving me. Those few hours post cum when I'm just relaxed and don't care about anything, it's all I have to feel better. The chances of me finding another gf are slim to none, and I don't want to rob myself of the joy it brings me because I'll never experience true love with another girl.
So what is a man supposed to do when his only options are jacking off and never cumming for the rest of his life?
Tyler Miller
Kys.
Zachary Cooper
I feel like no one on Sup Forums even believes in Christianity but just wants to legitimize it as a tool to fight degeneracy.
Adrian Young
Praise be to the trinity. Save your soul, for it is the only thing of value worth being saved.
Oliver Gray
>Invading all European cultures
muh vikings (fuck your snowniggers)
Connor Howard
Oh wow! Thanks, I'm going to totally kill myself now! Wishing someone death is against you religion mate, so watch it, you can burn in hell for doing so.
Bentley Gonzalez
They're all pick and choose. Use it to fight degeneracy in the West and but not following the tenants on sexual promiscuity, as an example. What a joke.
Liam Butler
Thanks for that mate. Maybe God is the missing piece.
Dylan Martin
Amen brother. Truth.
Tyler Cooper
Killing infidels is not a sin

Infidels? It's 'heathens' for your information Muhammad.
Oliver Gutierrez
>yes goy, don't want a better life for yourself, be happy with what you have and don't want any more money or power. You'll be rewarded in heaven for being poor and miserable cucks on earth! Us rich jews will have a hard time getting into heaven with all of our shekels.
Marx was right about one thing: religion truly is the opiate of the masses. Fucking cuckstianity.
Isaiah Wilson
Marx wanted religion destroyed because he wanted man to be shackled by material concerns.
When you're more worried about how comfortable you are, you're more afraid to do anything that might jeopardize that comfort.
When that comfort is provided to you by (((capitalistic enterprise))) you're just an agent of the devil.
Jack Reed
Fuck off you hedonist piece of garbage. You think Sup Forums gives a shit about feeling good? No. Kill yourself degenerate.
Austin Howard
>Our souls are eternal my friend... Our rationality, our abstract reasoning, our intellects are proof enough of that... Sensory impressions somehow prove eternal soul? Kill yourself illiterate moron.

Why would I do any of that when I can just ask for his forgiveness as I lay dying?
Wyatt Torres

Nicholas Lee
bro you're actually talking shit on ascetics and warriors? good luck fighting degenerates without them.
Evan James
You should be. It's the reason we have 6 billion too many shitskins on this planet today.
Landon Morris
I'm not Catholic, a figure head is heresy, there's only God.
Lincoln Flores

So true OP, so true.
Nicholas Kelly
>sorry for the universities and hospitals.
Oh yes! Healthcare and educational institutions wouldn't ever exist without Christians. The power of Jesus Christ summoned them through the power of raw faith. Brick by brick. Concept by concept. Stop LARPing.
Anyhow, you're a Burger. You don't have any culture to begin with, and will probably never understand the importance of ethnic cultures and their effect on societies. You're just a bastard-child British colony which went rogue, now clinging to any and all concepts of spirituality.
Alexander Gutierrez

Pls advise user > Raised by six-day creationist parents > academically minded, use the internet to learn about all kinds of things > Find out about evolution, history, other religions, other sects of Christianity > crisis of faith > angry at God > leave Protestantism > consider converting to Judaism > intellectually wander for awhile > read about philosophy > that's what I want to learn about > read about the pre-socratics, the greeks, the medieval theologians, Spinoza, Kant, Hume, Hegel, Descartes, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Marx, Wittgenstein, all the way up to the postmodernists, feminists, neo-marxists, etc. > intellectually spent, no longer believe anything really, any proposition can be defended so long as you accept the presuppositions/assumptions > Find Sup Forums > Have new appreciation for the pro-social stabilizing effects of organized religion > New appreciation for the role of the Catholic church in building Western civ. > Less angry at God/parents now, but still philosophically agnostic, functionally atheist > Find Jordan Peterson's videos > New appreciation for religion as a set of metaphors which relay pragmatic truths aimed at human flourishment > no churches will accept me because I'm not orthodox How can I approach religion without dumbing myself down? Jesus is more of an idea/metaphor/principle to me than a person at this point, and I have a difficult time accepting any genuinely religious ideas like the metaphysical existence of angels, demons, heaven and hell as real places, transubstantiation, magic/faith healings, magic/faith artifacts, the OT/Tanakh as history, everyone who isn't X is going to hell, the Trinity, an anthropomorphic God, end of the world eschatology, amidst other things. I also strongly object to the anti-life/suicidal altruism/slave morality which seems prevalent in modern Christianity, what with the 77 times forgive them, weak and meek will inherit the earth, and general political cuckservatism.
Jordan Cox
As if you have a choice when and how you die.
Josiah Ortiz
>How can I approach religion without dumbing myself down? Not possible with christianity. It's simply a low IQ religion.
Caleb Nguyen
Your mistake was taking Christianity as nothing more than a moral guide. Interpretations can vary from reader to reader, but the -overall- story is literal( there are clearly metaphorical/allegorical passages and parables ). You're free of course, to say that it is a useful basis of society and yet still false, but don't be surprised when you aren't satisfied with the result.
Ayden Peterson
Any thoughts on Old Order sects? ie Amish, Mennonite, Hutterites, German Baptists

MARTIN LUTHER DID NOTHING WRONG IN THE SENSE OF THE REFORMATION BUT HE SURE DID DO SOME THINGS WRONG BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD! FIRE AND DAMNATION! FIRE AND DAMNATION!
