@LordBoatrace @realtalkstruth We believe the problem of sin refers to the condition that separates humanity from God & distorts human nature, moral order, & the world itself. It is not just about individual bad actions; it is understood as a deep spiritual disorder affecting the human relationship with God.

@realtalkstruth @JayPBell Serious question. How is “allegedly” putting yourself through all of that suffering saving us?.. I’ve yet to be given an answer.. Seems even bible bashers don’t know..

This is what Jesus Christ endured… A crown of thorns… not a small ring, but forced down over His entire head like a helmet. Thick thorns—long, sharp, unforgiving—driven into the scalp, one of the most sensitive parts of the human body. Every movement… every breath… pushing those thorns deeper, blood running down His face into His eyes. Iron nails… not small, but heavy, square spikes. Driven through His wrists and feet with force. The kind of pain that shocks the entire nervous system—sending fire through every nerve. Each breath required Him to push up against those wounds, grinding bone against iron just to inhale… and collapsing back down in agony to exhale. The scourge… a Roman whip with multiple leather tails, each embedded with bone and metal. Every strike didn’t just bruise—it tore. It ripped flesh open, exposing muscle. Again and again, until His back was no longer whole… but shredded. This wasn’t quick. This wasn’t merciful. It was prolonged… calculated suffering. And He didn’t resist it. He didn’t stop it. He chose to endure every second of it… For you. And before he died he asked the father to forgive you. Wow….

@LordBoatrace @realtalkstruth Jesus’ suffering saves humanity because Catholics believe it deals with the problem of sin, restores the relationship between humanity and God, defeats the power of death and evil, and reveals divine love that transforms believers.

@LordBoatrace @realtalkstruth In Catholicism the reasons you're asking for, form one of our most important and central beliefs. This belief is interwoven in scripture and liturgy, explained numerous times in many different ways. I suspect it is not the lack of answers but your lack of belief in them.

@GaryintheRVA @matthewdmarsden Very clearly.

@JayPBell @matthewdmarsden I hadn’t considered this. I guess there is a lot of this on X. I guess we have different priorities.

I write two posts about the Passion of the Christ and lose over 40 followers. I’ll take it.

@Jeremyakee Of course while fully kneeling.

Catholic friends - Do any of you receive on the tongue? I suspect a few of you do, but am not sure how common it is.

“There is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silent because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and He has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh, and hell trembles with fear. He has gone to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep. “And grasping [Adam’s] hand, He raises him up, saying: ‘Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.’” vatican.va/spirit/documen…

@v_j_freeman "pinchy mouthed" such a wonderful turn of phrase. 😆

This is just as tedious as the people who obsess over Easter egg packaging. Who cares if people want to wish each other well? Deciding to go all pinchy mouthed over simple human kindness is quite beyond me. I have already wished people happy Easter! The horror! The horror!

@GaryintheRVA @matthewdmarsden Man I’m just gonna be honest. I’m only use to the libtards engagement farming.

@matthewdmarsden Man I’m just gonna be honest. I’m only use to the libtards playing the victim card.

To my atheist, agnostic or simply sceptical friends: I prayed for you yesterday at Good Friday celebration. Because I would wish for EVERYBODY to experience the beauty, depth and emotion of the Holy Week leading up to Resurrection. Something mystical, undescribable. Believe me

Please pray for the tens of thousands of new Catholics preparing for Baptism this holiest of nights, others being received into full communion with the Church from other Christian traditions, and some already Catholic who will now receive Confirmation and First Holy Communion.
