When you can figure out what it means to be BORN AGAIN, get back to me. Until then, this merry-go-round conversation with you of behavior driven works with in exchange for ‘salvation’ is adolescent.

The Self-Flagellation of Roman Catholics (as if their dirty filthy deeds can help them approach The Lord) is about as fruitless of a work as “holy water”, confession to a sin-filled priest, and constant repetitive prayers that mock Jesus (Matthew 6:7) and shows paganism.
When I was a catholic, I tried hard to let my dirty, filthy deeds get me to Heaven. Eventually, I realized I didn’t measure up, so I left the Catholic Church. I figured, since I wasn’t going to Heaven, I might as well eat, drink and be merry.
In confession, I told the priest about my racy peccadilloes, till he started asking me personal questions about my sins. I think he was getting his jollies, so I just lied to him. I didn’t care if I was committing a mortal sin of sacrilege. I wasn’t going to tell that dude the truth about my sins. 👎 I think I mentioned before, that a snow ball could survive a trillion eons in Hell, before I swim the Tiber. By the way, Mary was a sinner, in need of a savior. 👍🤣
