Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I cried one time in church when the priest was reading the account of Jesus and the adulterous woman from the Gospel of John.
When he told her “neither do I condemn you” it felt like he was talking to me.

I also like Paul’s description and talk of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and I’m quite fond of “For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God stronger than men” from the same Epistle.

I can relate to this. I've been in 4 relationships and had 2 flings from ages 15 to 22. I finally found God and decided to turn my life around. However, I am ever grateful for the experiences I had with those women.
