A Thesis on Losing Faith and Abandonment

Neophyte Humpfrey

 

Oh Brothers and Sisters, faith is the unquestionable loyalty and reverence to the almighty GOD. Faith is what motivates the common man in his actions, it is what guides our path of holiness and piety. Faith is the light at the end of a dark tunnel, once you reach it you are free from the shackles of mortal pain. One may begin to lose their faith when questionable things happen in their life, perhaps a loved one has passed, or perhaps war rages. You might ask, if GOD is omnipotent, then why does this happen? Well my brothers and sisters, this happens because all are given free will, the choice to do as they wish, if you are faithful you will refrain from sinful acts.

 

It is important to remember that lost faith can be found, it can always be found. It is through good deeds that you find faith again. It is important to provide yourself with active tasks to help others, ease your worries and thoughts by confiding in others. Do not dwell on negative thoughts and ‘what-ifs’, this will do nothing but continue to stir the cauldron. There is no salvation outside the church.

 

My brothers and sisters, it is critical that you remember there is a grand different between losing faith and abandoning it. To abandoned ones faith for another is to brand yourself an apostate. No sin goes unseen by GOD.

“And to ye Sons of Harren I admonish: There is no refuge from the sight of GOD. For He sees all things, and no sin is hidden before him, even in the darkest realms." - Owyn 4:7

 

The word of GOD is true, only with faith and obedience to GOD may your soul be granted passage into the seven skies. Apostasy means that your soul cannot reach the seven skies, instead they are damned to the void for eternity. GOD sees all your sins, so you need not deny them. Only through confession, and following the sacraments can you achieve absolution and passage to the seven skies.
