Hi,
Here let me help you out with this so my conscience can be at ease. Emphasis mine.

God bless.
Fine if the pastor says you are dispensed from going no problem! Bribe him and no problem just like with the indulgences before Luther’s reform where the rich paid for the forgiveness of the sins they didn’t commit but were going to in the future in advance and had different prices for different sins the more you intended to sin the more you had to pay or those who were richer could sin more and the more the church got rich!! The poor? Well tough luck! Others paid and were given a certificate which reduced their amount of time in Purgatory! Aint that grand?
That’s just incredible. Fine one has a serious illness, gets an MD to sign that he’s ill and that’s it?!
Its man made teachings no more no less. If people don’t go to mass one thing happens for sure. The church shuts down. So of course its an obligation…Even if no one wants to become a priest will the church shut down. And then they will introduce priest marriage someday or another to boost vocations.
Someone who cares for his family and his infants can skip.
Man its worse than when people thought they were going to hell for eating pork!
So this guy is going to hell for skipping mass? Man the priests are like vegas they win even when they lose. Losing for a priest means losing it like in the various scandals. Somehow they and the rich always get a backdoor into heaven but the guy who skips mass f that he’s in hell enduring all torment! How’s that??
That’s just insane. No I don’t believe the church teachings in this particular episode if it means that this guy goes to hell for skipping mass! If it were really like this God should be ashamed of Himself. In hell with rapers, murderers etc who don’t repent; of course cos if they do it its heaven for them, hell for skipping mass and not repenting cos maybe he had a tooth ache or couldn’t be bothered to go just that one time? LOL
This is serious. It aint monday night football. Folks. It aint a competition about I’m wrong you’re right nor like any other forum chitchat.
- man dies
- soul leaves the universe
- judgment
- new body and soul goes in the new body - The virgin Mary is there in bodily form its dogma…everyone gets another body afterwards a glorified one.That’s what happens.
- That man is still a man even though he doesn’t have a sexual organ cos everyone’s like angels and have no sex goes to hell. And hence because he has a body he feels pain etc for eternity.
All this because he skipped mass once? And because the church says that? When murderers or rapists and even pedophiles don’t go to hell if they repent 1second before they die? For real? A faithful man, a good christian 24/7 in everyday life goes to hell cos he skipped mass?
where’s justice? where’s God in all this I don’t see him. The God you’re depicting doesn’t give hope but despair! It aint the Christian God that’s for sure. This one’s allah a selfish bastard who decides arbitrarily without any form of justice nor mercy who goes to heaven and who goes to hell based on a caprice.
Lets get real murderers repent and don’t go to hell, if you skip mass once and you die you don’t repent for not going to mass. Maybe you had a problem at work and had to go to work the day after and decided not to go to mass cos the problem at work was killin ya and couldn’t take your thoughts away from it? Dunno maybe in times of financial crises its difficult to run a company and take a decision to fire half of the working force? Or that he was fired or was goin to be probably, or the company was in dire straits and next to closing? Or whatever? Hence didn’t feel like going cos he was ill sick thinking about work or other mundane problems which make you sick.
Hence in hell? F that. Worse than Bin Laden. And completely out of the world. Not omniscient cos evidently he doesn’t know what work and everything else is in this world! He doesn’t know the burden of caring for a family, having mortal problems which consume you. That’s the God some of you are depicting.
I’ll put it straight out to ya. The real truth the one that hurts.
People go to mass for 1 of 2 reasons same as me. The rest is hypocrisy.
- cos the church teaches it is an obligation and otherwise you go to hell according to what I’ve read if you don’t. Anyway a form of coercion. Didn’t know about this one.
- to pray and ask for God’s help when you need it the most cos you can’t deal with the problems alone.
That’s why. Otherwise you stay home. And of course go to hell if you die afterwards.
Then there’s those who go cos they want to go. Those are the best. The real ones.
Guys the church was teaching cos the old testament said it and not God, that the universe was geocentric and was wrong and Galileo right. Then it woke up to the evidence and said whoa the sun’s in the middle of our galaxy and the earth spins round it lets change the teachings!! And eating pork was considered a mortal sin by the then church which was the synagogue until a certain Man came and said it was nonsense, the same thing with circumcision and many other practices…
guys do you know what the words: the sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath means? Its a Man called Christ who said them…I guess the Man was God.
