Now that’s funny...
Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement.
roamer: I have tried homeopathic remedies such as this: http://www.thereliefproducts.com/ring-relief/ and similar type products from various manufacturers. I really don’t think homeopathy is the way to go for me, but if it works for you or others great.
In addition I’ve tried antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, vitamin supplements, swimmer’s ear treatments, and white noise (maskers). Nothing has worked for me. I haven’t tried the pineapples though, that’s pretty much the only thing on the list you provided I haven’t tried.
Today is better than other days. Some days worse than others (yesterday was really bad).
Thanks again though; God bless,
Ok...you want to stay there..soooo ‘define’ mortal sin...
In Europe it's required for all their vitamins.....over here you can use anything and call it a vitamin.
**Phew**redleghunter“the protestants don’t believe in Mary they will not get the full reward as Catholics.”
Wouldn't want that any more than the full reward of the Pharisees...
But then I don't know and Christians that don't believe in Mary.
To the contrary, 1 John 5:16-17 plainly says:What Bible are those "quotes" from?1. "All wrongdoing is sin".
2. "There is sin which is mortal".
3. "There is sin which is not mortal".
Are you also denying that those things are true, like the Bible says they are?
1 John 5:16-17 does not say that. That is deceptive to post those opinions as if they are actual Biblical text.
There is an unforgiveable sin which leads to death. One.
Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”---Mark 3:28-30
Glad to be of help. I’ve used any number of supplements including natural anti-inflammatories. I don’t have tinnitus so I haven’t looked into that in particular, but if there’s anecdotal evidence of it helping it’s worth a try. If you’re on any prescription statins, blood thinners or blood pressure medications, it should be run past your doctor before you start. Most natural anti-inflammatories are anticoagulants just as the OTC and prescription ones are, so it’s a good idea to check into it beforehand.
Okay, thank you. We use holistic remedies all the time. I just word a few hours ago that as a Young Living Essential Oil distributor, I’m being censored. The FDA is coming down on them/us hard. These are perilous times, because although the oils were pricey because they are a multi-level marketing oganization, they did work for many issues, and worked very well. Evidently the government is all wigged out that there are some oils that will HELP eb*la, and they don’t want people to try to heal on their own dime. Just sick about this.

Don't bet your life on that Syncro. You will lose.
That text is from the
"Revised Standard Version of the Bible (BibleGateway) - 1 John 5:16-17"
Oh my gosh...they’re even taking the catholic protestant division right to heaven itself! LOLOLOL
=============================================================
You didn't answer either of my two questions to you in post 1240 caww, but I'll provide the definition of "mortal sin" to you for you to ponder, (then I have to run for now and go do some other things).
From this source (which is derived from the Catechism of the Catholic Church):
✝============================================================✝
Mortal and Venial - From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Simplified (with paragraph numbers)
Distinguishing Mortal and Venial Sins (1854-1855)
The distinction between mortal and venial sins is evident from Scripture, part of the Church's Tradition, and corroborated by experience.
By mortal sin (a grave violation of God's law) man destroys charity, turns away from God, and chooses an inferior good. Venial sin offends charity but allows it to continue in the soul.
Explaining Mortal Sin (1856)
Mortal sin, because it attacks charity, requires God's mercy and a conversion of heart. This is normally accomplished in the sacrament of Reconciliation. When the will chooses something which is incompatible with love for God (such as blasphemy) or against love for neighbor (homicide or adultery) the sin is mortal.
"When the will is set upon a disorder not totally opposed to charity (as thoughtlessness) such sins are venial" (St. Thomas Aquinas).
Three Conditions (1857)
A mortal sin requires three conditions:
1.The object is grave matter
2.It is committed with full knowledge
3.It is done with deliberate consentGrave Matter (1858)
Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments. Jesus said, "Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Do not defraud. Honor your father and your mother" (Mk 10:19). Some sins are more grave than others. Murder is greater than thefts. Violence against parents is greater than against a stranger.
Knowledge and Consent (1859-1860)
Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes that the person knows that the act is sinful and is opposed to God's law. It also requires a deliberate consent which is a personal choice. Feigned ignorance or hardness of heart increase the voluntariness.
Unintentional ignorance can diminish or remove grave imputability. However, no one is ignorant of the moral law written on the heart. Many factors (feelings, passions, external pressure, emotional disorders) can also diminish personal freedom. Sins of malice (a deliberate choice of evil) are the greatest.
Need for Repentance (1861)
Being free, man is capable of committing mortal sin which deprives him of sanctifying grace. This can exclude him from God's kingdom forever if he does not repent and seek God's forgiveness. When a person chooses mortal sin and refuses to turn back, he will suffer eternal death in hell.
Venial Sins (1862-1863)
A person commits a venial sin in two cases:
1.When he does not observe God's law in a less serious matter
2.When he did not have full knowledge or give full consent in a grave matterVenial sins show disordered affections and impede the person's progress in virtue. If deliberate and unrepented, they dispose the person to mortal sins. However "Venial sin does not deprive the sinner of sanctifying grace or friendship with God" (Pope John Paul II). "When he is in the flesh, man cannot help but have at least some light sins. However, a number of light objects makes a great mass. What then is our hope? Above all, confession" (St. Augustine).
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (1864)
Jesus said that "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness" (Mk 3:29). This deliberate refusal to repent and receive God's mercy, rejects the Spirit's forgiveness. Such hardness can lead to final impenitence and to eternal loss.
✝============================================================✝
I wouldn’t call that censorship. I’ve done catalogs for various nutraceuticals and making a direct claim of medical benefit is not permitted. It sounds as if Young Living has failed to follow the FDA required structure/function claim method of handling written descriptions and potential benefits. If there are studies and/or clinical trials, cite them then go on to suggest that a given herbal or supplement may help. Saying much of anything else becomes a medical claim and will get you into trouble.
That’s interesting. What about the label on the side of the vitamin bottle? If it says it has “100% of the RDA of Vitamin C” for example, is it possible it doesn’t?
Good read. And a lot to digest. Thanks.
There is only ONE sin that leads to death and both of those passages say that.
That’s totally made up by the Catholic Church. The only sin unto death is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
=============================================================
No, it does not say that CynicalBear.
It is talking about "forgiven sins" vs. "unforgiven sins", and which sins can be forgiven.
Any mortal sin can lead to death if forgiveness is not sought and received.
The Bible clearly say that God will forgive our sins if we confess them.
(See post 1258 and 1 John 1:9.)
Best to know what the RDA is for it...because those are very low...but yes it might have 100% of what the RDA states...but will still have fillers...it's not 100% of the actual product...it just has that in it.
‘Phyto-Pharmaca” vitamins are all standardized formula" as an example.....and there are others, I just use these because they work and give results I wasn't getting with 'regular' vitamins.
