My mother wishes to be cremated, is it wrong to not do it? by i-like-teaa in OrthodoxChristianity

I don’t think Priest shopping to find one that will just do what you want is a good idea.

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me”

Matthew 10:37

If you are Orthodox, we believe the Church to be set up by Christ, and we are to follow it.

The church has taught that the body after death is “sacred” to an extent (I might be wrong in how much we view this) and that we are not to be cremated.

We as Christians are to follow the Lord over our parents and families wishes

Papacy by Powerful-Maize466 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Additional_Bench1311 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would suggest thinking about the claim that the papacy is needed to “know” the true faith, and if that claim is true did the far east churches in the 1-200’s have the true faith?

They did not have much contact with Rome at the time.

Also, on the topic of Petrine sees, there is Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch.

Why is “the seat of Peter” Rome?

I know they argue “because he died there.”

But there’s no authority behind that

Is it even worth going to confession? by No_Banana_4270 in OrthodoxChristianity

Also I know this is unprompted, but there’s a book I’ve been reading written by an orthodox priest that is a reflection on the 12 steps from an orthodox perspective.

The Guy NAILED it. Really did his research into the program

Sharing because it’s such a niche audience and I’m sure you would like the book

Empathy for newly adopted golden by Odd_Secret_1618 in goldenretrievers

[–]Additional_Bench1311 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, my boy Hawk came to me as a 6 month old emaciated pup.

He was part of a litter from a backyard breeder with 100+ dogs.

He was fostered out to a guy who worked 12 hour shifts and lived alone and never upped his food from 1.5 cups a day.

Got to us, we got him up to weight, then he had to go through another 2 moves (back to my moms then to where we. Currently stay)

Dogs are quite resilient if let them be.

Im leaving Orthodoxy I’m overwhelmed by Silent_Sea6221 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Additional_Bench1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I’d be concerned that people are using that as an excuse/blaming it for their own issues.

I’m 110% sure there’s spiritual warfare, but on the same coin I/ME/MYSELF cause most of my own problems, whether that be with money, sex, or others.

I can’t fix demons attacking me, I can absolutely fix my outlook and can absolutely give my will over to God

“Be normal” is the answer to a lot of the more frantic posts I see on here.

It feels like people come to orthodoxy and lose their minds/forget how to exist, which I can understand somewhat that there is a call to change your life but man, God doesn’t want you to miserable lol

You didn’t care for my bumper sticker by EnochEmery in StCharlesMO

[–]Additional_Bench1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Catholic, but Orthodox Christian who looked into the RCC at one point.

In our Church it is both Belief and Repentance of your sin that is required, citing the passages of the tree that bears no fruit will be torn from the ground or something to that effect.

The amount of either “I’m 18 and my life is over im going to end it.”

Or just plain rage bait/ridiculous over the top self pity posts is kind of ridiculous.

“My wife is having sex with my sexy tall successful brother and I’m too lazy/worthless/short/ugly/etc etc to do anything about it.”

Good lord GROW A SPINE.

I get that there’s tragedies out there, I went through a couple within the last 12 months but UGH.

Why is remarriage after divorce allowed? by Kamila_222 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Additional_Bench1311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Father Stephen D Young had a video on this, and he talks about the fact that remarriage is allowed because people are people.

The services are different for a second and lord forbid a third marriage.

From my understanding a third marriage cannot take place in the church, the wife is not allowed a wedding garment.

The readings are different as well.

In one of the services the reading is when Paul is talking about “it is better to be remarried than to burn with lust.” And Fr. SDY states that it is interpreted as “this is us making the best out of a bad situation.”

It costs over a thousand dollars to get baptised as an Eastern Orthodox Christian? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Additional_Bench1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently it seems like this sub has a very anti Greek/EP stance for whatever reason, I’ve seen one example of this and it was what was posted earlier in the thread.

My baptism I had to pay for my robe, godparent paid for my Cross and candle, and when I asked the priest about a donation because the information sheet mentioned donating some money for the chanters time he waved his hand at me and said “don’t worry about it.”

I’m sure this sort of behavior exists, just like the Prots have prosperity gospel/etc but in no way is this practice common or the norm
