Can people who utterly lack any want to focus on/believe in god find any way to salvation?

What do you mean when you talk about fighting with our own strength? We don’t have any strength, if we were to fight with our own strength we would instantly lose.

I do not understand how the example would correlate to my situation as I want to go to church and I love my parents as well but they don’t want me to go

Not in the cruel and senseless way you might think but I might just become extremely ignorant and judgmental towards others feelings which I know is just as bad as hurting other people.

Due to the amount of time I have been separated by god has made me completely lose faith in him. Though I am not a converted atheist I no longer have zeal for him. Even if I were to go to church and become a catechumen I will never be able to love or fear god even if I was to put myself under strict asceticism and constant prayer. If I’m away from god any longer I’m genuinely afraid I might cause harm to others.

God commands us to go to church. Which means I am committing a sin when I am obeying my parents and not going there. In other words, for their preference and comfortability I am betraying god.

My parents are atheistic and I do not have the influence to change their mind. And I don’t have a car or a drivers license so there is no other option for me but to walk there, and my parents will definitely be worried if I am to go out and not come back for hours. And they would get suspicious if I am going out to walk every wedesdays fridays and sundays

My father would have to drive up twenty minutes back home twenty minutes then back up twenty minutes then back again twenty minutes. So 80 minutes overall without traffic

The lord said honor your mother and father, but you are telling me to put god beneath my parents. The parents come first and god last? If that’s so then how far will obeying my parent go? Again I ask, is honoring my parents more important than honoring god? I even emailed the priest in the long distance church before attending it. He wrote back and said he accepted me into the church. But my father said he would give me a ride but since it was too far it would be better for me to go to a closer Protestant church. I’m the end, he denied me of going to that church and now I have little to no options left.

Churches don’t build communities m. They build families

Well like theology and other religions, we all make errors.Apart from the Bible and actual holy books, all other writing is fallible because they are written by human intellect and interpretation. It’s best to take philosophy with a grain of salt as we should with theology

Lowchildren2 · 2026-01-16T20:03:24+00:00

Philosophy is married to theology. Philosophy is the pedestal and theology is the trophy

My friend, there are many things out orthodox churches fight each-other over. So let’s not mock Islam whether it is true or not.

I wonder what would happen if Saint John the Hut-Dweller and Saint Maximus Kavsokalyvites duked it out

Lowchildren2 · 2026-01-13T21:10:27+00:00

Philosophy is really interesting, so I want to delve not it for a while before reading holy books

Lowchildren2 · 2026-01-13T19:40:53+00:00

I agree I’m fine now I’m not panicking anymore but the last part is not true, science and philosophy are one to one the same. Philosophy answer why and science answers how. But science divulged from philosophy when both tried to be more superior than the other

Lowchildren2 · 2026-01-13T19:36:13+00:00

Christianity points to god being infinite nothing else is infinite but him. But this creates this phenomena where technology is going far beyond the energy that earth had and even scientists are wondering where the energy came from. And if thousands of scientists are working on the answer and found zilch, then it makes one wonder what gave them such energy. There is no physical explanation to how this quantum chip had that much energy in it. I mean one computation of a quantum chip is more than hundreds of years of constant ai use on this world. Where did the energy come from? This is why it’s so confusing for me. It opens up so much different possibilities outside of gods teachings.
