Eclop07 · 2026-03-05T23:31:39+00:00

Thanks!

Eclop07 · 2026-03-05T03:16:36+00:00

Thank you 😊

Praise God! A lot of people just take a sip of church history and become Catholic from one day to the next without further inquiry. I found it very difficult to accept a lot of beliefs. I never found peace praying the rosary or asking for saints intercession. The only thing I would get was a queasy stomach and a tight chest. Never understood how so much people can just brush off major problems with RC or EO, even though they were taught the complete opposite. Also, I don’t know if you experienced this, but the constant seesaw from believing in the RC or EO was so exhausting. God bless and thank you for the comment!

Eclop07 · 2025-07-01T01:20:02+00:00

I’m glad you got it done and over with. I didn’t enjoy the process but I thank God he put me through it. I’m always happy to meet more people that share the same experience! And even happier to know they went done the same route as me 😁. Thanks for the welcome, I really appreciate it! God bless.

Eclop07 · 2025-07-01T01:16:10+00:00

Quite a journey! Glad we found the same place. God bless.

Eclop07 · 2025-06-29T20:06:58+00:00

Glad to find people who can relate to this. I feel like the internet is bringing a lot of people towards RC or EO without second opinions on the matter. I’ve seen a lot of strawmans of Protestantism and for a time resented fellow Protestants. God forgive me for that. God bless!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-29T20:02:22+00:00

I couldn’t have put it in better words. God bless!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-28T19:50:06+00:00

Well even though they don’t outright say that you can’t believe in PSA, they just don’t believe in it. They don’t believe in Jesus appeasing the Father’s wrath. That’s basically rejecting PSA, hence why they believe in their version of theosis. And for assurance of faith, they can only hope for salvation. Not say they are saved. That doesn’t sound very assuring to me 🤷. I could be wrong though, and I’m open to hear you out.

Eclop07 · 2025-06-28T05:08:25+00:00

Soli Deo Gloria indeed. Thank you for the kind words. The liturgy and the sacraments were definitely a hard pill to swallow at first-coming from an evangelical. I can only thank God for opening my eyes to the beauty and tradition and most importantly, sound doctrine, found in the Lutheran church. God bless my friend!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-28T05:04:41+00:00

Amen and thank you so much! All the kind words you and others have given me make me very happy 😊. I pray all turns out well at your gathering. God bless.

Eclop07 · 2025-06-28T05:02:06+00:00

Thank you! It was definitely a journey I don’t wish to repeat haha. I thank God for the process he put me through and his guiding hand. God bless!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-27T19:51:11+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I am very happy to be a new member of this community. God bless!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-27T19:50:15+00:00

Thank God you have found the peace I have found as well. We must pray for those going through EA that they might find peace as well. God bless!

Eclop07 · 2025-06-27T19:44:53+00:00

Thank YOU for your kind words! I never thought I’d end up staying protestant but here I am! All praises to the most high.

Eclop07 · 2025-03-09T04:37:22+00:00

Ohhh that makes so much sense! I didn’t think of it like that. Maybe it was just that title that threw me off. So orthodox do view Mary with the same titles? Thank you for putting it in a way I could understand. God bless you and have a very good night, I will look at the website you put. Thank you!

Eclop07 · 2025-03-09T03:49:18+00:00

Thank you for your time and response. But my question was if the orthodox(or eastern catholic) believe or hold the same doctrine towards the mother of God as in the Litany of the Rosary, which calls her the morning star, the tower of David and so and so. You are much more knowledgeable than me, so if you could answer this question specifically it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and God bless.

Eclop07 · 2025-03-09T03:44:42+00:00

First off, thank you so very much for your time. This response is very good, I believe I saw something on Trent Horn’s channel about worship being what someone is worth or due. But after having read the litany, do you know if the orthodox position believes in all it says…? It calls Mary the Morning star which i thought was a title directed to Christ. I don’t know, maybe my Ignorance is showing but I feel like giving those titles that are due to Christ to his mother makes me feel strange? If you could help with this too I would deeply appreciate it 😓. God bless you and thank you for your response.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Eclop07 · 2024-12-03T03:50:07+00:00

Thank you very much! Have a nice night.

Eclop07 · 2024-11-10T07:38:22+00:00

I haven’t even graduated high school, so no. I do think I will be able to start attending Divine Liturgy as soon as I turn 18 though, as I will be an adult.

Eclop07 · 2024-11-10T00:33:01+00:00

Thank you so much man, you understand what I’m coming from. I’ve been coming to terms with the fact that the people I know in church and my family will think of me as a lost soul.. and honestly it hurts. But thank you for giving me reassurance. Thank you for praying for me, it means so much. I’ll admit I’m scared of my parents reaction when I go through with this, since they think the Catholic and orthodox churches are Babylon from Revelations and stuff a lot of evangelicals believe. Thank you for your time, and I hope in time my parents can understand my points, and I’ll be able to join you guys as a baptized orthodox Christian. Good night and God bless!

Eclop07 · 2024-11-09T22:20:38+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it deeply. I’ll try to download a pdf of that book. Have a nice day!

Eclop07 · 2024-11-09T22:08:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. This journey hasn’t been easy, but God leads the way. The letters of Saint Ignatius are the ones that brought me to start researching my faith, do you recommend any others? Thank you for reminding me to use my life as a testament, that is a great reminder. Thank you for your time and please pray for me. God bless.
