is it a sin to turn down my priest when he comes onto me?

I certainly hope you're joking.

in my opinion no. you confess your sins to God and accept him into your heart and you are forgiven. the sins hang over your head kind of as a reminder to not do them again and that they are wrong

well you can stay shy the whole time and never say a thing to him or you can take it upon yourself and do it right. Go to him when mass is over and say I have seen you here a few times and want to know if this is the time you come all the time and would like to set next to you or even give him your number. give it a try. Or you can ask your mother what to do.

if i go under my own righteousness, no He will not be pleased with me. when i go under the blood of Jesus, He will.\ni do not do as much as i should to spread His Kingdom.

No, what are you a priest

i was raised catholic, though am not religious now. from past experience, i have noticed priests like to probe you if you give a vague answer. so if you say something like "I was mean to my brother", the priest will be like "what do you mean by that? you hit him? argued?" etc. so be prepared ;)

When people persecute me for my faith I feel shot down and I feel like the world has just crashed down on my head. But I know that that is the work of the Devil to make me feel powerless, and even though devil laughs at me everytime I am persecuted, God is blessing me for my Faith. My preacher always says that if the Devil is tempting you and giving you a bad time than you must be doing something right. And my Pastor is right, and I would rather have people persecute me for doing something good for God than have them leave me alone for me not following God. I would rather have the devil give me a bad time for doing the right things than for the devil to leave me alone for not doing what I need to do for God. I don't want an easy life of not following God and go to Hell, I want the Devil to give me a bad time that way I know I am doing the Will Of GOD!!!

that would be very rude. you should stand or sit quietly while they pray. you can think about whatever you want, but you should respect their beliefs and remain quiet and still.

You may be in the wrong church, mine still preachs about his evil ways. He is as real now as ever. Speak to your pastor about how you feel, we don't sugar coat anything.

Yes! It is his way, after you have had your sins forgiven, to try and get you to give up. Don't. Rebuke the Devil, in the name of Jesus, and resist him and he will flee from you. em for texts.

only GOD can judge, so i don't have the right to say what is a sin and what is not....but to make u feel better about the situation, it would be a good idea to get married, then u won't feel as bad....good luck!

No, you can ask your local priest to kill him if you prefer.

Thas not true.  I am neither one of those but I can tell you that God says no sin is greater than the other.  Wether you murder your parents or do a man when your a man thats still sin to him and every soul may seek forgiveness.  You may not be correct in your actions, you may not follow all the laws of god, but you can still believe.  God says that taking the same sex to bed together is a sin and he also says that gossip is a sin but nine out of ten times i bet you do that, so what makes you or anyone else better than the other.  If you are gay or a lesbain, to me, that is your sin, you will answer to god just like me for my sins.  Which is greater?  How can god put a scale on how bad you hurt him?  A sin is just that, a sin to god.  Worldly pleasures are just worldly pleasures.  Just try and live your life as correct as possible for god and it shouldn't matter if you're gay or a lesbain.  Just let him know you believe and ask him to live in your heart.  If you truely except him than the lord will help you discover who he has planned for you to love.

No.  Only if the prayers were sacreligious or disrespectful.  God is your Father, talk to Him as such.

There is no way to shield yourself when invoking evil spirits. Since God is more powerful than anything you could call up, why don't you try asking him for something and see what the answer will be?

Hi Mathias, think of the terrible price that Jesus paid for your salvation and the agony He endured for you in the garden of olives, think also of the rejection that He endured and still does to win you the grace to live by Christian standards, now if you can do this then surely it is enough to let you know that spilling the seed of life that God gave you is indeed sinful and is not what Jesus would have you do as if it was right.\nthink to of your Angel Guardian who is at your side and has to turn away from you whenever you resort to this, you are like the rest of us, weak so pray for the courage to stop this degrading act

You have to try your best to turn away from your sins.  Sometimes they take time to get out of your life like addictions.  God allows for growth and gives us times "to work our salvation out with fear and trembling".   If you just don't care and you go out carousing because you once said the sinners prayer and think you have your free ticket to heaven, then no.  You won't be going to heaven.  But if it's a continual sin that you continually work on and pray about, that's different.  God will help you to conquer it.  God bless you.
