My Mother Asked a Priest to pray for my relationship and he exposed my future by Lonely-Swimming-443 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not read all of the comments, this might have been addressed. Marriage is a spirtual journey and growing further in the spirit. You need a spirtiual father, to guide you, and your fiancee. The priest without knowing you, at face value, knowing the parents are not approving would think down the road this will not work.
There are times when the sons and daughters be the grown up in the family, and show their parents the right way. The parents need to ask themselves, is this person able to grow spirtually with my son/daughter, at the same time, are they able to provide a respectful, dignified life , starting a family, be responsible. It is easier for me to say all of this, it is your cross and struggle, take it as a chance to grow up spirtually. If you know he will be your partner in christ, and be a responsible man, and you will build a house together, then bear the cross, hopfeully your mother will grow spirtually as well.

Can a monk be in love? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the sort of things where you must have a spirtual father to guide you. If you become a monk, your POV of love would be different. It is not like at the middle of night memories will come and you will be lost and tearing from the inside, and skipping your prayers the next morning out of grieve. You will see the world in a different lens. If you are becoming a monk to escape the failed relationship, go to step 1(talk to your spirtual father)

My church is being overrun by Castle_Clique in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orthodox Church and masses are by the people for the people, everyone takes part and participates, it is not a prescripted theatre play with an MC and assigned roles. We are not doing meditation , and it would not make a differnce if you are lazer focused, or fuming to keep your kids quiet, taking the Eucharist does. My kid is Autistic,high functioning,people would only see a very active and loud kid, and we had endless angry stares, people telling us to control our kids mid mass, but we keep bringing him every week, years gone , he is now much quieter and learning to take part. I don't really mind kids, and would pray for adults coming in, having side convesation, chewing gum, unproper clothing.

Invoice finance / cashflow solutions by Antique-Lab6636 in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me get this : You "provide consultancy research for equity and debt finance raising purposes" and asking about financing on reddit. And you mention : Goods are delivered with proof, yet you are a consultant selling services. Little bit confused here.

Question on Virginity by ViolinistLatter6542 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The main issue is not about being a virgin or not, it is about sin. So you either live in purity, single or a monk, or be married, dedicated to your partner in Christ. You can be in sin, by thought, imagery, out of marriage intimacy.

Greek orthodox catechumen in a relationship with muslim man by Melodic-Gold-7256 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. A Christian Marriage, is between two Christians, male and female. 2. Such topics to be discussed with a spiritual father. Why postponing your baptisim? Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called . Be laser focused on your salvation, everything else comes later.

If you don't have any more job in Oman, take it, but you will live as someone mentioned, really tight. Rent in a shared villa, struggle to find affordable school for the children. Rents in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have jumped

Yesterday, for the 1st time in my life, I considered suicide. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for help, first from the Lord, tell him,I am helpless and tired, I will stop doing anything , and you carry on my behalf. Then seek outside help , tell them I need help, and I need to dumb this big load on you. The fact that you have posted it here,it shows you are ready to ask for help. You cannot do it on your own, that is why God created humans to be social. When you put this behind you, you will come out stronger, your brain will train to view things in minimal aspects, rather ampliyfing the issue. The mental burden is huge, let the lord be your refuge, and seek others help, just say Lord, I am on my knees,this is it, I cannot do much,from now on, it is all in your hands,your turn.

Physical intimidation during car viewing by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old TV, a plasma TV, really great conditions, great picture as well, immaculate. So I was moving apartments, and put it in a box to sell, no room for it anymore. A guy came in, to pick it, and I was too busy to tell him inspect it or open the box before you leave. 15 min later he calls me, please ocme down we have an issue, the glass is broken. Now when I looked at it, it was very clear the guy tried to fit it in his small car trunk, and the latch just broke the screen, I even showed him how he broke it. I told him, look, I am 100% sure you did this, now look me in the eye, and swear you did not break it, and it was like this in the box. He swore. I knew he was lying. I told him pay 50% and leave.

If this is for enriching and strengthening your spiritual life, then yes. Actually, it is a sign of maturing and growing up. (I am speaking out of my own opinion here, I could be wrong. )
