5. After the gift of salvation, we have been given the gift of repentance.

An exhortation is if you fall 1000 times during the course of a day, ask forgiveness each and every time.

Yes, that figure is an exaggeration on purpose to impress what is said.

I too am struggling with animosity towards what is continually being foisted upon us, the peoples of this country and primarily towards the 'one being' responsible for the destruction.

My prayers center around his removal, not in a harmful way. The Lord knows my heart. That's not to say seeing the face n hearing the voice or any mention of him can bring about cursing.

What your priest told you...because you are concerned about your spiritual state, that's a good thing. If you weren't, that would be a detriment.

You are not alone, my sister/brother in Christ. 🫶 ☮️
