In daily struggles/life situations, Do Not:
1. Seek to appease.
2. Seek to impress people. (Do please only Jesus).
3. Harbor hidden personal agendas. (Do the will of God alone).
4. Lie.
These are helpful in life at all times.
In Jesus Christ’s holy name, His will be done.
When stating the number of one's sins, there are four degrees of precision that one can use.
1. Exact number ("I sinned X times"). This is self-explanatory.
2. Probable number ("I sinned around X times"). This is used when you are generally aware of the number but have some doubt as to the exact number.
3. Conjectural number ("I sinned around X times per Y period," e.g., per day, week, month, etc.). This is used when an approximation of the total number is unclear, but the frequency can be estimated.
4. Confused number ("I habitually/often/occasionally sinned for Y period," e.g., 3 months, 10 years, etc.). This is used when the frequency can only be stated in general terms, but the length of time can be estimated.
The fourth is especially useful for those living in some immoral lifestyle (e.g., "I lived in concubinage for 2 years"), where the frequency cannot be reliably approximated.
There is no need to be anxious about estimating the number of sins for confession. If you do your best and seriously consider the number of times you have sinned, you're completely fine. Being able to distinguish between these types of numbers and use them in confession will be of great help in relieving your anxiety. The greatest moralists have approved these methods, and they have been in use for centuries.
@Daedalus_Sy@valerie_reads@mrsbennetsnerve I would say self sacrifice is absolutely necessary and being transactional will not be edifying for either a man or his wife. No man who really loves Christ can truly be destructive to his family. God is at the center of truly great marriages. Blessings.
After the Indian Locust General FLED the country, he no longer even USES his X account.
THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR:
He never gave a shit about you. He wanted to use his position to pilfer the country with more Indians.
“The modern individual family is based on the open or disguised domestic enslavement of the woman…In the family, [the man] is the bourgeois; the wife represents the proletariat.”
That is Friedrich Engels in his 1884 book ‘The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.’
We forget that things like feminism were bound up with communist thought. Betty Friedan had excerpts of Engels saying things like this in her journals.
In a culture without perfectly clear cut guidelines on the maternal and paternal roles (which used to exist not long ago) it takes two mature and well formed people to find the balance of parental duties. It takes mutual self sacrifice, not negotiation. It takes love, and the intelligence and willingness of both mother and father to act judiciously and generously, time after time. And of course forgive after failure.
