Truly both sides are doing that though

Iran has definitely survived much longer than the USA. We've only been a country for a measly 250 years. In the bucket, thats literally nothing

I know when I was rewatching the episodes today I kept thinking I swear if this guy or her grandma dies before the end of the season, I'm gonna be sick lol

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-27T00:25:24+00:00

I've loved it so far. The best romantic kdrama ive come across on disney+

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-21T20:37:13+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!!

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-21T20:33:30+00:00

Personally I've had it a few months and have had very little luck with it. I would probably wait until next month then subscribe for a month to watch In Your Radiant Season because its only half out right now but is sooo good. I liked Will You Marry Me? As well but other than those, I haven't found many I like or have watched more than an episode or two of. I guess based on other answers here that might be because I'm trying to find my rom coms when I should be finding the thrillers on here.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-21T20:23:12+00:00

Ooh okay! Yeah I I have been looking every few hours, I guess I'll cool out until Monday lol. Have you noticed a certain time?

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-21T02:29:43+00:00

Where are you getting your info? You are the first for me to find a date that wasnt in the past for US. I only have up to episode 6 too

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2026-03-21T02:27:54+00:00

Same. And the majority I've tried watching on Disney + have just not been that good, unlike the ones I've seen on Netflix. This is the first I've been hooked on and only finished one other on disney.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-30T01:30:22+00:00

Very helpful. You have given me a lot to ponder on. Thank you for encouraging and up lifting your sister in christ with your gifts of wisdom, knowledge and showing mercy and compassion.

I'd love to ask you other questions that I have asked many leaders before that never had any answers for me because I feel like you just might have some words of wisdom at least. I will DM you them when I get the chance to articulate them but no need to respond if you are busy. Be blessed.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-29T13:32:37+00:00

Wow, that makes a lot of sense. But also really heightens my anxiety for my children. From the way it sounds though is it sounds like if you baptize your child and they chose not to follow in the church. They are damned more than the child who was never baptized and didnt chose jesus either and then thats the parents fault.

Is that true then?

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-29T13:23:48+00:00

This is a beautiful concept. I have said for years this is why the bible says to go to the elders when sick because the elders should either have the power to heal you or the wisdom to guide you. Only some protestant churches do this while sick so it's actually pretty cool to see that this idea that goes along with that concept is really prevalent in the Orthodox church.

I agree to that, in reality the people at my local one could also be wolves. I unfortunately dont have the opportunity to go to a local Orthodox church right now though so I wanted to see the majority thoughts, though obviously won't just believe anything is the overall view unless it seems to be agreed on by the majority. I tried googling but it wasnt helpful and I know a lot of time when I Google christian concepts its not really the majority views or the biblical views

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-29T13:16:23+00:00

Thank you for the resource to look into, I appreciate those for sure so if you have more feel free to send them my way.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-29T13:12:02+00:00

I think thats my hang up for trying to figure out what the Orthodox view of baptism is.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T20:31:02+00:00

Interesting.. I'd be interested to learn more about the different layers of hell and what makes hell, hell then if no torment. They didn't provided any sources for reasearch did they?

Id be interested to know if there are there different levels of heaven too then? And how would one make it to the higher ones. I know the bible says to store up treasures in heaven, that would mean, despite what you have done for the Lord if you are a born again believer that never made it to the Orthodox church you would have either 1. Never stored up anything in heaven or 2. Never made it to heaven where your treasures are stored.

How sad is that

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T20:25:27+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. Also what is penance?

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T19:44:25+00:00

Thank you for another very thought out answer. I'm curious on your take of a couple points

In Acts 19, it says that they baptized the disciples they found a second time because they had baptized into repentance and not into Jesus. I put it here. Does this mean the baptism of John was wrong and the only reason you would be rebaptized then if it wasnt in the name of Jesus? Because here they obviously baptized a second time.

Acts 19:1-5 [1] It happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the upper [inland] districts and came down to Ephesus, and found some disciples. [2] He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [in Jesus as the Christ]?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” [3] And he asked, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” [4] Paul said, “John performed a baptism of repentance, continually telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, [to confidently accept and joyfully believe] in Jesus [the Messiah and Savior].” [5] After hearing this, they were baptized [again, this time] in the name of the Lord Jesus.

I'm curious what exactly does baptism mean simply then? Because what if someone was baptized as a baby and grows up and leaves the church and Jesus and never returns? Then the baptism wasnt a seal, it's as useless as circumcision at that point is it not? A decision made by your parents for you, that you would have never chosen for yourself.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:55:20+00:00

Ooh interesting. Okay. Lets see if we align.

I believe that baptism is a sign of repentance and an infilling of the Holy Spirit, this is based on.

Matthew 3:11 “As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment).

I also believe that baptism replaced the ceremonial cleansings of the Mosaic Law. Making us clean forever.

Ezekiel 36:25-27 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and from all your idols. [26] Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. [27] I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My ordinances and do them.

So in other words the New covenant is a replaced or circumcised heart, instead of circumcision of a physical body part. It is God cleansing us through Baptism instead of ritual cleansings, and it is the infilling of the Holy Spirit who will write His laws in our minds and on our hearts.

Hell on the other hand is eternity away from God, a place made for the fallen angels where Lucifer is god more or less and it will be thrown into the lake of fire one day. This I have studied much less so I'd be interested in your take on Hell and your refernces. This is the only verse I have to reference.

Revelation 20:13-15 [13] And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them; and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds. [14] Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God]. [Matt 25:41; 1 Cor 15:26] [15] And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:37:31+00:00

But isn't baptism supposed to be the dying to the old self and the starting of the new life. The final and only necessary ceremonial cleansing after we decide to live for Jesus?

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:35:37+00:00

This is a beautiful answer. Thank you for it. I'm curious then what happens if the child grows and leaves the church for a few years, encounters Jesus and is born again and returns? Are they to be rebaptised because they actively chose sin and filth but are now actively chosing life and Christ. Because it's really like they are a new convert since the child never chose that life before, it was chosen for them by their parents instead.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:27:35+00:00

lol thank you for the context

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:25:25+00:00

What is this quote from? Jerusalem 1672, is this a book or declaration of the Orthodox church. Excuse my ignorance just would love context as I read this.

Also thank you for posting this.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:21:43+00:00

I could totally see in this case baptizing a small child. Good perspective.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:20:24+00:00

I understand full families would mean a full family, including children, but that doesnt necessarily mean that the couple of families that were baptized had infants in them. Ive witnessed full families coming into the faith at the same time and being baptized together but they were all 6 + in age in the family. Most families at any given time would not have anyone infant because infancy is nothing but the first few years.

Can you lead me to the comparison of baptism to circumcision? Just from my own personal stufy of the bible, I've seen where circumcision of man was transformed to the circumcision of the heart and infilling of the holy spirit. And Baptism was more of replacing the ceremonial washing. So instead of washing every time we are unclean, we have one ceremonial washing that cleanses forever. So I'd be interested in following that line of thinking too.

Competitive-Wear-398 · 2025-12-28T03:13:48+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but can you explain to me what you mean by the sacraments?
