I am only addressing God as a loving Being.

He has designed us to love. When we do not, He moves us to love!

If we miss it in a minor way, the move is minor. In a major way, the move is major.

Ok, thats what i meant, but thats not how this site comes across.
For example it seem way to hard on gay ppl …
The Apologetics most of all. 🤷

The Church teaching concludes rationally at salvation. Which is why you invoked canon law thats what becomes clear. That any further misunderstanding resides in simply not understanding Church teaching.

So your worried because your home? Did you call the Church? I’m sorry you can’t go to Church. 😦

Well it seems to me that you believe that even a small sin will negate a lifetime of love and labor, but catholic teaching says labors can give grace as well.
And i think you should not use Hell as a reason to believe.

I believe because i think i can help others with it, not myself.
Despite my unorthodox childhood/life.
And your views on love and sex are just wrong.

Where did I say any of that? Is there some dazedness here? Some confusion, perhaps?

Well no offense but that not what the church teaches.
The Catholic church teaches that Christ judges the living and the dead.
Nothing or nobody else.
Its in the crede.

Well i go once a year with a friend, but i have more reasons why i cant go.
A major one is that i cant resist to urge to start preaching myself, and if i pray to much i write things i dont understand, and my consience starts telling me to do things i cant.
Weird things in general.

God loves man on an ineffable scale, unconditionally, beyond our ability to begin to comprehend. He is love. Sin, OTOH, is anything opposed to love. Sin messes up the world. Jesus (God) came down to rectify this situation, to show us God’s immense love, to the degree we’re able (and this ability increases as we *grow *in faith, in hope, and in love), and to help us overcome sin by said growth in justice. God is on our side, wanting all to live in eternal happiness. But He will not force us to do the right thing, just as He allowed Adam to sin. And if we willfully, persistently continue to oppose God/love, then we’re already in hell.

You are welcome to come preach to us. And my prayers are with you. I don’t really understand the last paragraph.

Weird things happen to me when i pray to much.
Like the fact i predicted that Pope Benedict XVI would resign and lighting would strike the vatican by that time. WEIRD.
And thats just 1 thing.

But thats not the thing which stops you from calling the Church and asking the father to come by or helping to get to him. How do you attend Church yearly and amend for the point of not going for the entire year?

So above by prayer you feel spiritually connected to these events above?

A friend plays the cello in a church once a year.
He takes me.
And i think the church has bigger fish to fry than this unconformed guy. 🙂
Me and my home altar are doing fine.

I always feel spiritually connected and it frives me crazy to be honest.
I even prayed for a sign in Rome.
Be carefull wwwhat you wish for indeed.
 
If prayer gives you insight, then obviously you should be praying more.

But the greatest of all forms of earthly prayer is the Mass, which is how Jesus prays for us before the Father. All the angels and saints join with us and Jesus.

So go to Mass at least once a week, and pray at home too.
