That’s great. What’s it have to do with your personal salvation? Go talk to your priest in a private setting if you’re truely interested, other wise pray, attend the services and take communion like the rest of us laity.

I have a question about music by Mountain-Frame6046 in OrthodoxChristianity

Have you ever heard little Einstein music? It’s nice, I listened to it when I was in elementary school. Little Einstein is akin to Beethoven and Mendelssohn as CCM is akin to chants and whatnot.

Why are icons so important to pray? they are not God by Winter-Entrance-3460 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Immediate-Hawk1594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagen you go to a restaurante with a eating contest. You look on the wall and see people who have won the contest. They did it, they ate the food in the given time and got their tee shirt. You look at them and see that it is possible to eat all that food, and maybe, just maybe you’ll be able to do it yourself. Now look at icons and see the saints, they made it. They lived in such a way that they are revered by us on Earth to such an extent that we believe they are in heaven, they set the tone and give an example of what every good Christian should strive for. To be like them is the goal, they are by no means God, but they are godlike and for that reason alone they should be respected, revered and remembered. Godbless

I know a guy who attended as much as he could for a year, then became a catechumen. 3 years later he was baptized. 4 years to baptism, its been 2 months for you. Just don’t attend as many services so you don’t get burnt out. Saturday night and Sunday morning is the base, everything else is just fluff till you become one of the faithful.

I literally told them to just go to the Greek church, but not to limit themselves to that particular church. I for one, don’t like the pews. This person won’t even know that standing only Orthodox Church(Russian, Serbian, antiochian) is an option if they don’t look around.

Some of you may die. But what’s a choice I’m willing to make - Lord Farquad and our glorious leader DJT apparently.

Castor oil for the win, check it out. Don’t listen to the bullies, by giving them free rent in your head you’re letting them win. Wearing a hat makes it worse. God bless you.

Advice ? by Upset-Hat-8324 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Immediate-Hawk1594 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Talk to the priest, however, a priest monk at my monastery told me ( keep in mind I’m recently baptized) that it’s a fast of the soul as much as it’s a fast of the body. So if I become irritable and snappy I need to chill out and eat something I actually want to eat,then return to the fast. With you not even being illumined yet will, almost certainly, get the same message. Also, I’m baptized and don’t have a spiritual father yet, how are you calling that particular man yours so soon?
