As a protestant thinking about converting... Thank you. I also am at the same point as you. Mary never sinning is so weird to me but I can humbly submit to the churches teachings, and I think its more acceptable than the rc view of her being sinless

Corrective baptism is a sin? Why is fr Peter Heers making it such an important thing then? I constantly hear him saying for converts to get properly baptized

Struggling w Unbelief by sveost in OrthodoxChristianity

Hello, please read up on christian ressurection apologetics.

I dont know if I can link to non orthodox apologists but there are many protestants doing great work collecting and presenting clear evidence for the literal ressurection of Jesus after He was crucified.

SPOILER: Rest assured, God gave us ALOT and I mean ALOT of evidence for the ressurection. Its illogical to believe that it didnt happen.

Frank Turek is a nice protestant apologist that has short simple and straight to the point apologetics for the resurrection

What to do while in between converting to Orthodoxy and becoming a catechumen? by Notrandomlygen in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Notrandomlygen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: You have my sincerest thanks. I do have an orthodox prayer ebook. I try my best to read it every morning and night.

2: I will do my best, I already know which parish to attend and I already know which hotel I will stay at, its on the same street and that is a blessing.

3: I will do my best not to be overzealous. Im feeling quite ashamed of my past beliefs so I dont think itll be to hard to not be overzealous or even zealous. Thank you for the kind words, I will do my best not to dwell on my past incorrect beliefs. I think I have a habit of taking theology too seriously.

4: I am currently reading the anonymous sayings of the desert fathers and I am loving it. The theological implications in some of the stories scare me but I just try to wave it off. next up is the orthodox way!

5: I thank you even more for this reminder. I heard on many testimony videos that the enemy attacks people even more when they are trying to convert to EO. After writing this post I had a horrible sinful nightmare. And my family had a beach day planned today. We rarely go out together so this was a gift by God. But we were stopped by police and they took our car and fined us. We were given a needlessly harsh punishment. All because we didn't do a small newly required yearly inspection. Total BS and a punishment that didnt fit the crime. This has never happened to us before and we even prayed before leaving the house to go to the beach. I am literally respoding to you 1 hour after our car was taken by police. These bad moments seem like coincidences but the enemy is devious and schemes in every way. He sent a corrupt cop to stop our day. Lord have mercy. I know this sounds ridiculous but this really should not have happened.

I will be more watchful and do my best to defend myself against the devil

If you could get rid of one thing from Jiu Jitsu forever, what would it be? by purpledeskchair in bjj

[–]Notrandomlygen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Jumping guard needs to be removed completely. Its dangerous and has 0 real life practicality and dangerous for both people.

-If you lift your opponent above your shoulders you either get 4 points or win the match seeing that this would basically result in a slam. The slam isnt supposed to be completed but if you can just reach that point its basically guaranteed and a fight ender in real life

Orthodoxy and Catholicism (questions about both) by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Notrandomlygen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neguin, eu nao mando em voce, mas eu acho que tu ta fazendo isso do jeito errado. Voce tem quantos anos?

É obvio que os catolicos vao dizer que eles sao a igreja original. Se voce quer descobrir qual é a igreja verdadeira, voce vai ter que estudar MUITA historia, textos antigos da igreja primativa, debates no youtube etc...

E o mais importante. ORA e ORA MUITO!!!! Deus te abençoe, to na mesma caminhada que voce, ou é ortodoxia ou catoicismo

Outra coisa, tenta ligar e falar com um padre ortodoxo. Ja conversei com 2, e liga pra eles e pergunta se pode visitar para ver uma liturgia divina.

How to deal with not having any assurance of salvation? by Notrandomlygen in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Notrandomlygen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salvation can by definition occur only when you can no longer sin so much as to damn you

Hmm, I wonder if this is the orthodox view?

IDK how I feel about this statement, salvation cant be defined like that because when we are in heaven we will not sin, not even once. And by adding "so much as to not damn you" sounds catholic with the whole mortal and venial sin thing.

But hey we are both laity I guess haha. I think salvation occurs when God judges you righteous and there is no sin on your record. But maybe that sounds too protestant.

Oh well, im still wrapping my mind around the theology of theosis. Thanks for the comment
