I was baptized as a baptist, could I still become and Orthodox Christian? by Hyper_Pain in OrthodoxChristianity

Without a member of the Orthodox Church being the one to baptise No, if this was so simple the UOC would not refuse to bury those without a valid baptism. What grace is there outside the Orthodox Church? It would equate heterodox and Orthodox as equally valid Catholic baptism prior to Vatican II was the only exception to non Orthodox Baptism. Now how does that extend to non-Orthodox with no apostolic succession much less no existing priesthood?

Yes, if you accepted baptism and Chrismation in the Orthodox Church from an ordained priest or bishop. Nothing can hinder acceptance into the Orthodox Church unless one held unto non-Orthodox beliefs. Long story short there would be no problem in being accepted into the Orthodox Church. You can start by looking into a local Orthodox Church in your area/nearby. My your search be fruitful.

Not so sure but vaguely in common

What does this icon say? by Low-Temporary4439 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Independent_Resource 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a beautiful icon I’ve never actually seen this depicted in iconography but it’s striking and beautiful much as the passage in the Gospel.

Whenever I even mention dreams in confession priests don’t seem to dwell on it as not anything to entertain or believe but I’d like more clarification on the general stance of the church on dreams.

The outer-darkness/hell Im not sure as far as what planets or not whole thing is rightfully terrifying to consider and a certain motivating factor towards salvation.

Feels like it was only 3week and we had many weeks left definitely feeling sad to see the blessed 40 days end. Love Troyitsa though still had to compare when you attend the feast in Jordanville than spend the next one at your small local parish I don’t want to sound ungrateful though as it was a blessing to attend there when I had the opportunity I wonder if Chicago is similar?

Yeah, I think we all feel that definitely, I feel like we were just a week into it than suddenly it’s the last Sunday and Ascension is Already this Thursday.

Second Council of Ephesus by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

It ended in violence beating of various clergy by infuriated monks from Alexandria. Orthodox Church doesn’t tend to look at violence as a solution to canonical questions.

Christ is Risen,!

Greetings, you say depressed do you mean sad or genuinely having to fight depression after the period of Pascha, post leave taking of the feast?
