The above statement is ridiculous. Jesus DID judge:

Matthew 33…"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.

Jesus** IS** God…the third person of the Trinity. If God won’t judge our lives immediately after death…who will?

Of course, the “brood of vipers” was that rule-following, dressing-right, eating-right, group of Pharisees.

There is no record in Scripture of what Jesus thinks of women in short hair and comfortable shoes, although I feel certain that those four women followers of His whose money He accepted weren’t prancing around the hills of Galilee in high heels or flouncy skirts.

You made some really good points, StephenEpo, but do you think you could break up future posts into paragraphs a bit more? My eyes started going funny.

I was never good at that, so I just write what I have to say. I don’t know whats coming out till it’s out.🙂

What’s there to be good at? It’s just a matter of hitting the ‘enter’ key after every few full stops. 'Taint exactly rocket science, in fact it’s no more difficult than hitting any of the other keys you use in your typing 🤷

It does make it incredibly difficult to read without paragraphs - so difficult that very very few people will bother. Which means your effort in writing it goes to waste.

So please do use paragraphs.

I agree with Lily. Hit the “ENTER” key a couple of times in between ideas - more people will bother to read them.

Also, it’s not a sin to proof-read. You aren’t channeling the Holy Spirit or anything like that, after all. 😉
 
I can’t believe this discussion has turned into proper sentence and paragraph structure…

It’s an aweful feeling to be in mass and having to be subjected to seeing this attire, afterall I’m a red blooded single male, I don’t need testing like that, especially in the church.

Then don’t look at them. Sit near the front and close your eyes during most of the Mass if you have to in order to keep from getting distracted. If you are that tempted to think lustful thoughts DURING MASS, what are you doing letting your mind get so far from where it should be that those thoughts can even really enter your mind? I couldn’t do that even if I wanted to- the hymns and incense and crucifixes and statues aren’t exactly aphrodesiacs…

It was a point I was making, personally, I have self control in all areas, most males don’t, and I’m being honest about the situation.
