ifeness:

You don't ask someone you did not offend for forgiveness,do you? In fact,forgiveness is a virtue an enlightened person must have . He who does not forgive is ignorant.

Therefore, the bible god acts childish and immature. Unless he is not real!
It sounds fair to you, if I blow up your head with a gun, ask for forgiveness afterwards and walk free on the face of the earth without facing the consequences of my action.

k2039: Blow off someones head with a gun, leave the traces behing such that it will be obvious you are the one.

Ask God for forgivness afterwards and see if God will save you from facing the law.

Then you can then disagree with my theory.
Jesus is the escape route. He's alwaz there to break the yoke and lighten burden resulting from our sins

With forgiveness, you'll definitely feel lighter but God might not stop you from getting pregnant/contracting AIDS after being reckless or stop you from going to jail after committing a crime.

what you are passing through on earth as a result of your sins cant stop you from making from heaven if you have been forgiven. Heaven is the utimate prize for all believers

Second day of lent. Fasting mode still activated. My colleague at work brought very nice valentine cake angry Was a tough one for me not to dig in.
I spent all day (Valentine) at work. Thank God it was terrible busy, though I prayed for it. Spent some part of the day sending job application for somebody beside myself! grin I felt it's an act of love! I hope he gets the job, I'll be glad.

binger: Well,am not catholic,so we don't do penance.
Btw,how does saying copious 'Our father' ,'hail Mary' etc,cleanse ur sin or grant u forgiveness?
God cleanses our sins, saying penance is just an act of contrition and sorrow for our sins

Ya.. I'm not saying otherwise. Just trying to make you understand k2309's point 'God can forgive you but might not save you from the consequences of your sin' here on earth. Get my drift?

@ those who r not Christians, can you guys just not comment on the thread? Its not like you're getting paid to reply threads.

Is not the abstinence from food thats my problem, i can go for 2 days without food is how to pray most especially the rosary and all that....
Re: Lent: Countdown To 40 Days Fasting. by joerux60: 8:30pm On Feb 17, 2013
at our parish, we have been encouraged to fast with a difference.
"for every meal that you don't take during this oeriod, please ensure
that you give the equivalent of that meal to the disadvantaged." that
was the msg from our priest. maybe we could all try to do likewise

I need to cleanse my body, spirit and soul. Wish me luck!
