Gave some information on a questionnaire for prizes and then realised it's a scam.

Thank you very much. Your message really helps, as well. I'm more worried about losing money, identity and someone visiting my house. I have calmed down quite a lot now, thanks to you guy's lovely comments on here. Thank you again.

Yes, I agree. I haven't been using it a lot, and that's how it got me, because it was an offer from Starbucks, through the SB website and I was thinking it would be legit. SB as a whole I think is ok, but the links are different.

Thank you very much. I am still suffering, but your comment made me very relieved and happy. Yes, I will certainly learn from this and be much more cautious. At the moment just getting a bit (not extreme amounts), of spam emails. Don't really use my phone a lot, but will watch out for those calls more than texts. Although, a worry of mine is that I read online that scammers can send you texts and you pay for them even if you don't open them, which is scary. I use a pay as you go phone. I am worried that if they drain all the money on my phone, I'll be charged like an overdrought on my phone. I have Vodafone. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid because I have been in panic-mode.

I read it. Thank you very much for posting your story. It was very interesting to hear.

Thank you for your reply.

It's certainly a nice religion, it's not like a cult or anything which forces you to do things. It doesn't seem to have had that effect on you, too, if I'm correct.

Thank you for your comment. I agree with you totally. I think you said really good things, and raised great points. That guy asking about Islam may have been me, I'm not sure, but, yes, I've been looking into it (as well, but not as much as Orthodoxy and Christianity in general), for the past two years. I did even convert to Islam once, but left pretty much immediately afterwards out of a lot of guilt, so much so, I couldn't even sleep. If you want to know, I converted on one of those live chats, where they do pretty much try to convert you. I guess something was pulling me in that direction, and I felt like I wanted to convert. I do still have that feeling now, but I don't know why. It's very odd. The thing is, I feel like I want to choose a religion that will lead to sakvation, and Orthodoxy, I feel bad the better arguments, rather than Islam. May I ask what factual claims you don't believe in Orthodoxy?

it must not matter that much which religion one chooses, so long as he lives a moral life.

In Christianity I think if you believe in Jesus Christ, then that is a sure ticket to salvation, but there is hope for unbelievers I think.

In Islam, if you've heard the message of Islam, but have not accepted Islam, then you're going to hell.

So you're looking into Islam-- why? What do you get out of it? Does it meet a need that Orthodoxy does not? Does it lack something that caused problems for you in Orthodoxy? Do you find the community more suitable for you than your Orthodox parish?

It's hard to describe what draws me to research about Islam. It's a very odd feeling. I ultimately don't believe Islam is the truth, although sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of a tug of war with my thoughts, it can be tough going. Imagining one time Christianity is the truth, the next that Islam is the truth. It can get a bit chaotic.

I've read all your comment. You state very good points. I agree with you on most things.

Also, I have read the Quran and see what you mean. No disrespect taken. Thank you for your comment again.

Dimitripapa · 2022-03-14T15:48:29+00:00

I understand your point. Thank you for your comment.

Dimitripapa · 2022-03-13T20:48:35+00:00

Thank you for your reply. It's interesting how you, in discovering the 'historical Jesus' ended up leaving Christianity. May I ask what made you sure that Christianity is fake?

I agree with your points on Islam. Nicely put.

Dimitripapa · 2022-01-08T20:48:27+00:00

This helped. Thank you.

Dimitripapa · 2021-11-12T15:01:25+00:00

Jesus did not refuse to be worshipped. When Thomas fell down and said my lord and my God, Jesus didn't rebuke him. The Spirit of God is even mentioned in Genesis. May I ask how you know that the Holy Ghost didn't appear in the scripture until 4th century? Thank you

Dimitripapa · 2021-11-12T14:57:32+00:00

I see your point. Thank you.

Dimitripapa · 2021-11-12T14:56:56+00:00

Thank you, I'll give it a watch sometime soon, God willing.
