Christians are way too into Jesus

Keep telling yourself that.  Make it real in your mind.

Well ain't it obvious?

basically when we pass from this life into the next you only have two final destinations... Heaven(good) or Hell(bad). you don't want to be on the wrong side of that one. so those who reject Jesus Christ by living a life of sin etc can end up in hell which is the worst thing that can happen to someone, by far. because once someone is in hell, ALL is lost and all that remains is suffering/hate within that person, forever, as no trace of good can exist for that person anymore.

your eternal soul is not something you want to gamble on.



Have you ever been baptized? ; because this is crucial... www.catholic.com/tract/the-necessity-of-baptism

but just to list some basic thing I am confident many Christians sweep under-the-rug as no big deal even though it is a big deal... regular prayer (as in daily prayer) is not optional but required if one wants to grow closer to God and avoid sin, especially what you mention will be difficult, if not impossible, to escape on your own as it's lust which is a vice (it's also serious sin in general which can send one to hell if not repented of etc) and it's pretty easy for many to fall into lust given how much it's in peoples faces nowadays with TV/Internet etc and it's one of our most powerful urges. but with God's grace one can help avoiding falling into it. but one has to want to truly be free from it as God gives us all free will and He won't force someone to do something otherwise it would not be a act of love on our part towards Him.

p.s. I strongly recommend praying The Holy Rosary daily. but if that's a bit too much to start with, at least spend a few minutes or so and work your way up in prayer. start with something basic like the 'Our Father' and 'Hail Mary' prayers.



What your asking here conflicts because your focused on beating the lust which you simply won't be able to do without God's grace which you obtain from regular prayer etc. so you will need Jesus Christ basically in order to do that.

so it's like your basically trying to beat the lust on your own instead of relying on Jesus Christ (basically your putting Him on the back burner), which simply won't work. trust me on this one

But do you think you can be a Christian without trying to live a moral life?

Not a single Christian I've ever met believes that something that doesn't exist is going to save them.

Myself and all of the ones I know believe that the God who made everything became a man and lived a perfect life in our place and then he died in our place and has already saved us from a very real place called Hell.

What you say we believe is a thing of your own making

What if God is a fabrication without evidence?

I am pretty sure that is the 'truth'.

Stating  'truth' can, by definition, NEVER be slander.


God and Jesus are fictitious.

No, it is not.

If I base my 'opinion' on what is said on these Boards, then I am neither lying nor slandering when I criticise those words and their meaning.

I repeat, stating a truth can never be slander nor lying.

You can believe whatever you like and I have the right to have an opinion on stated beliefs on a pubic message board.

Get over it.

It is a requirement if what you’re claiming exists outside of your own mind(s) is true. Faith alone establishes no truths.

Faith alone establishes the relationship with Christ

You rules < Christ’s promises
