Help a brother out?

Help me out? Please?

And please correct me if I am wrong anywhere, this is sort of the position of the Church mixed with my own thoughts. X_x

I'll sit here in the TAW M.A.S.H. unit and offer comfort and care to you between battles but walking into that quagmire right now would be most detrimental to my salvation.

This looks like a job for Batman, not the Hulk.

Great OP, though.

I think you did very well, so far, Justin! Sorry they were clobbering you so hard in there. I, too, will stay out of the fray, because I'd just get into trouble in there. :o

They have closed minds in there (other than the ones agreeing with you, that is)... and really their stiff-necks will only incur the wrath of God on them, if they don't repent. They probably don't believe in hell, either. Just wait and see.

Oops, I think I've already said too much.

Thanks for the support!

The replies in that thread... yeesh! Just goes to show how all this denominational stuff and all the Scripture interpretations fails miserably.

The Desert Fathers are a great read.

Yea, guess I best stay out of there also. I got called ignorant back because I used the term Protestant in my post.

I don't know, Batman is an older rich bacholar that likes to keep a teenage boy in tights around with an English bulter.

I never thought of that!!!

Ewwww...good point.

I'm impressed, Justin. It looks like you've been listening and learning.

The next thing to learn is that it's impossible to convince other people against their will - the reason I don't generally venture out of TAW.

A big thing that I have been hypocritical on from time to time is that especially during Lent, we should be focusing on what's wrong with us, and not to judge or even teach our brother (unless he desperately wants to be taught!).

Reference St Ephraim's Lenten prayer.

 

[Macarius]

I got your back on this Justin - I'm SO PROUD and HAPPY for you. God bless you! Your refusal to give in to your passions inspires me - and that's an honest truth.

Keep fighting the good fight. And I agree with rusmeister, be careful to preserve the Lenten spirit, and pray St. Ephraim's prayer.

In Christ,
Macarius

More power to ya, brother, for fighting the good fight, but my salvation's precarious enough as it is. You've got some people to help you out there, but I've got a mighty large anger problem (mainly because I have very little tolerance for bull dookie) and I know that my posts would make that thread degenerate into a flame war even faster than it looks like it will.

I can only imagine what would happen if they knew about how hard we fast...

God be with you, and ask Bl. Seraphim to pray for you.

IC XC NIKA,
Philip.

First off, why no reputation button? Great OP. Good job sticking with your guns. *pat on the back*

[tongue in cheek moment]
But they all claim the same source, don't they? And since they all claim it, it just so must be true with skewed interpretations isn't it?
