Admit your sin plainly. God already knows. The confession is for you.

Did you know that we have a princess buried here on American soil? She was a very real princess and a member of the Romanian Royal Family. Her name was Princess Ileana. She was the youngest daughter of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania. A devout Orthodox Christian, nurse during wartime, mother of six, author, and exile, she founded the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania—the first English-speaking Orthodox women’s monastery in the United States. She took monastic vows in 1967 and lived as a nun until her repose.

@AmosKissel Question: Do you think I’m still doing God’s will if I went to church just to be a good person and don’t really care too much about communion itself?

If you attend church to be a better person then you have it backwards, and you’re missing the point. We attend church to be in communion with God, foremost. Becoming a better person is the byproduct of communing with Him.

@AmosKissel I never said this was bad reasoning, but if that is the primary reason to be in church over communion with God, then that is putting the cart before the horse. Hence, backwards.

@Fredric79965849 Are you saying this in harmony with my tweet or juxtaposing it?

We need to break the cycle of idolizing the workforce and corporate ladders.

Groups of people are merely that, groups. What makes that group a cult is their practices, or particular belief and/or ideology they uphold. Christianity could qualify as a cult based on that. But you can’t have one without the other and still say you have a cult. That’s foolish. You could easily say, “I don’t want to answer,” and I will move on. But to pretend that you haven’t been vague and dodging the questions I asked is ludicrous. Your point that you’re only referring to groups still isn’t adequate.

I’m going to assume he is concluding Christianity is a death cult. Christians, what’s wrong with this conclusion? Comment below!

A group that operates by a shared belief system that: -Demands conformity -Glorifies martyrdom -Eats flesh/ drinks blood (even as a simulated act) -Bears an execution device as a cultural symbol Is a death cult.

@WildBulldozer I’m not. I didn’t tell you, “You need to or you better give an answer.” That’s ordering you. I asked you. No. An ideology, belief, practice, etc. is a necessary condition for a cult to exist. It cannot be “just people.”
