The Evil One is a sly dude Cal, and when he sees young people like you wanting to defend the faith, expecially at your age, he wants to break you down. God certainly has an annointing on your life. You strike me as a kid who has been given a calling by God. I urge everyone on this site to keep Cal in prayer.[/quote] I guess because of my ignorance I do not understand the motives but, It is De-humanizing and makes Humans look like mindless animals and makes us look Soulless and nothing special. I understand the pretty major stuff after tons of lectures from my priest and parents about the sexual sins so I might not commit them. Yes this is when the temptations to sexual sins start, personally I think I am doing good so far , I'm not even interested in girls (in general can't tell you anymore )!

(If you deal with it right, which you may very well not. Most of us don't.) I remember back when I was your age...... haha, well I actually do.

Well on and off I had a crush on this girl from grade five until grade ten. That went quite badly, but I learned a lot about myself and about relationships, so it was a good thing in the end.

Church Punk Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Lust is a sin/ temptation is best dealt with by running, not fighting. Id say the minute you try to fight you already begin to be drawn into sin. In particular I have found it useful to focus on the passion of Christ while under lustful temptations and thoughts, and use mortification to direct your thoughts on what is holy. For instance, I find that I am able to resist easier if I have been fasting or have not eaten in a little bit. Or if I offer up any type of suffering I may endure during the day. Sometimes I will offer a workout or run up as a form of mortification to keep the body in check. It takes training. LOTS of training. I like to think of it almost like a spiritual version of Navy SEAL training to over come lustfulness. hahahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Welcome to Phatmass! For your own sake, as other have advised, do not preoccupy yourself with these things - in my opinion, the less you know of these things, the better. Myself, like many, many others, found out about these sort of things at your age, and did not have the maturity or presence of mind to avoid them, and they've affected us for the worse. Moreover, once you get into these types of things, it's verrrrry hard to quit, and it's terrible for your well being and your relationship with God. For your own sake, don't devote much time to these sorts of things - this energy could certainly be used more effectively for good. I'll be praying for you to retain your innocence for as long as possible. Pax Christi, Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
