Well, this is my first blog entry in quite some time. I hope to make this a more frequent endeavor for the New Year. I am going to discuss freedom in this blog. We hear a lot of people talk about freedom from politicians to political pundits to every day citizens.
Freedom means different things to different people. People talk about a freedom to choose and what they really mean is freedom to kill a baby. Other people talk about freedom and they are talking about the freedom to speak out on political topics or against the government. I will admit, that this is a very important freedom. The homosexual lobby wants the freedom to "marry" each other and to change the traditional definition of marriage. A lot of people look at freedom as licentiousness. This is not freedom but slavery. It's slavery to Satan and sin.
True freedom is doing the will of God and doing it perfectly. Following all of Gods Commandments perfectly is true freedom. Some might protest and ask how following a bunch of rules is freedom? I answer this by saying God is perfectly free. We also know that God cannot sin. Since God is truly free and God can never sin then it's just common sense that you cannot be free and sin.
When you sin and call it freedom you are damning yourself to Hell which is slavery. Satan uses sin to enslave the human race so he can ensnare souls and torture them forever. The worst are sexual sins of impurity and lust. The Blessed Virgin Mary said that more souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than any other sins. God sent His only Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to us to free us from that slavery of sin and the way we accept that salvation is by rejecting the slavery of sin. Every kind of immorality is slavery whether it be abortion, sins of the flesh, drunkenness, and every kind of immorality is nothing but slavery.
You cannot be truly free unless you follow the Commands of God.

ReplyDeleteKelly wants Darryl to shut up about people who don't see things the way he does. Fascinating.

ReplyDeleteI would beg to differ Kelly. If you try to live an act as a a traditional Catholic you will be hassled. A pluralism where religion is tolerated so long as it is kept private is the only thing that seemed to be "tolerated" these days even though in my own opinion the pluralism I am talking about here is really a form of religion, a religion that believes in nothing strong enough to fight for except the idea that all should be equal to feel however they like so long as it doesn't infringe on others. There is no regard for truth at all. Truth is denied today, which is why no one seems to care what people believe or don't believe. If it feels good do it is the name of the game.
