Why is this? [/quote] My dear friend, I have only changed from the first of evils mentioned above.

Winchester Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You know, I am going to excuse myself from further snark. While I think H-dog is being too general in his condemnations, avoiding most of the croutons in this world is probably a good thing. And there's the possibility he's psychotic and also a computer genius and could track me down. All right. Now I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scardella Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 [quote name='Hietanen' date='04 October 2009 - 04:44 PM' timestamp='1254689069' post='1977490'] I spend my day fearing God more and more, by trying to live my life in such a way as to please him, so I may arise with joy. When I did not care about my salvation, then indeed I did also watch these evil anime series, watching porn and masturbating, playing evil video games and watching bad movies. For worldly people hate the light and do not care of the light and neither do they come to the light. I am in no way justifying my self for stating the obvious. Many of you are just dishonest and can't even admit that evil is evil and good is good. I admit I have done these evil things, but I have changed and do them no more. I still do more evil before the Lord then you, for I am indeed a great sinner, but how can the sinner ever conquer if he does not try to overcome? The first evil to overcome is the world and its worldly pleasures, evil violent video games, bad films and series, satanic influenced music & violent satanic anime series and everything else which people very well knows to be wrong and against God and Christian moral. The second evil to overcome are the evil of your mind, the evil thoughts, the pride of life and the lusts and concupiscence of the flesh. But how can these second evils ever be conquered by those whom don't even care to overcome the first of evils? Its impossible and it can never happen. [/quote] First of all, 1 question: By any chance, did you recently (within the past year or two) have a powerful conversion experience? (Note: here, conversion means reformation of one's life rather than officially joining the Church.) I ask because when one has a radical change of lifestyle like a conversion, you can go overboard somewhat, seeing things as evil because, to you, it represents part of the sinful life that you were living. I had that temptation as well when I had a fairly radical conversion. It took a good 4-6 years before I was able to enjoy things like innocuous video games (mostly racing games these days) or music not specifically Christian without feeling guilty (read: scrupulous) about it. Part of growing in your faith is being able to discern what is sinful and what is not. It sounds awfully like you're trying to run a marathon when you've never trained and you start out sprinting. It's not a recipe for winning the race. Spouting out condemnations of things left and right without regard to who you're speaking to is just going to make people angry and resentful. It's actually going to accomplish the opposite of what you intend, because people will dig in and be resentful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
