The real punishment isn’t the absence of freedom, it’s the absence of the perception of time passing.

It's amazing how many people are brought to Christ simply because they either want to find answers to life.. or they want to try to disprove God's existence. That's what happened in my journey as well. I just wanted to find the best way for myself to live and after years of searching I came back to Christianity. In terms of living a good moral life.. it just makes the most sense to me.

Powerful faith story God at the center Faith, believe, focus God can do what man can’t do God can sustain and create that new door opening

When I take an all-encompassing no holds barred look at the evidence, I find the reality of the Biblical worldview to be overwhelming, so much so that there really is no other worldview. Then when the Holy Spirit touches you, arguments cease altogether: you either play the madman and close your eyes, ears, and heart and turn away, or say ‘yes.’

Redemption is the most powerful spirituality experience that a human being can achieve. That's the whole message of the prodigal son.

Praise the Lord! Heaven rejoices with each new believer. What a wonderful testimony. ❤️

I assumed that solitary confinement meant that they put him in a pitch black cell where he's only able to be with his own thoughts. If he had 29 months to read and listen to podcasts, then that would be way more doable. But still, two and a half years with no human contact is torturous.

Took some time to fully embrace that? Christianity wasn’t the be all and end all? But I did take one lesson I learned young. too seek and ye shall find? find I did! aspect to me a I didn’t know exist, and aspect so the world that fundamentally changed who I was? I know I’ve heard that some people when isolated have religious experiences? This guy just proof it happens! There is reason why many seeking enlightenment shut themselves off? Few distractions means a greater outcome and deeper experience. It also mean if your in that groove? You can tune into the wider universe as a whole all because you can focus your energies into something better? Remember you part of something far greater? It great to see you survived it! Even better for how it transformed you! What a role model!

I think truly, you want Jesus Christ to be true, but aren't man enough to admit it.

Michael obviously had a very different experience in school than most Catholics, for whatever reason. I went through twelve years of Catholic school. We read the Bible daily, and carried it on our person at all times. The Catechism was a sparing part the curriculum until high school, and even then was minuscule in comparison to the amount of time we spent reading and reflecting on the Bible. Thorough knowledge of the Bible was required to graduate. That’s how it is in every Catholic education I’m familiar with. The entire purpose of all the sacraments is to develop and maintain a deep relationship with Jesus.

@@AdamA-pm3yn Your comment makes no sense. There have always been wealthy Catholics and poorer Catholics. With over a billion Catholics all over the world, naturally that will cover a wide strata of people and cultures, some of which will of course be less wealthy and politically unstable. There are lots of wealthy Catholics in Europe, North America, and South America. Last I checked, there aren’t a bunch of Argentinians breaking down the doors to immigrate to the US. They don’t have to. Your perception is skewed by the last fifty years or so of immigration. There’s little reason to doubt the more recent Cuban, Mexican, and Central American immigrants won’t assimilate into mainstream American culture within a couple generations. People like you were freaking out about Irish and Italian immigrants 150 years ago, and they’ve completely assimilated into white American culture despite a bunch of persecution. Hispanic immigrants are generally hard-working and very conservative. They’re voting more and more Republican each election, while the GOP is losing white women.

Why is Jordan Peterson talking in that tone? It sounds more like an interrogation.
