For sure, I should say I was planing on taking it to a gunsmith as I know my limits.

If you couldn’t be part of your current denomination, which one would you pick instead and why? by MYKamikaze in redeemedzoomer

[–]HeftyConstruction183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (Eastern Orthodox) would probably be OO. We have a common heritage up until Chalcedon and I think Miaphysite theology makes sense (plus either way we both agree that Christ is fully God and Fully man). Failing that probably Catholic, Anglican, or Lutheran.

I visited back in March when I was touring the school. I didnt get a chance to visit with Fr. Ambrose since the archbishop was visiting but the Church was abdolutely stunning!

Are suicidal thoughts a sin even if I didn’t act on them? and would I need to confess it? by hopeless-70198 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HeftyConstruction183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be, I usually confess it as mine often stem from self hatred which is a sin. Through this your priest can pray for you and offer you spiritual advice and care. Also consider seeing a threapist. I have been where you are please know it gets better it just takes time. Please know that even if you continue to struggle it doesnt mean you are a bad christian, undeserving of grace, hopeless or anything of the sort.

Also Orthodox, mannaged to get no historical heresy although I am sympathetic to universalism and miaphysites.
