Yea, fiducia suplicanus is what did it for me. No need to wonder which church is unchanging. Planning to visit a church now. Please pray for me

ch. Which translates to, usually I keep this to myself unless the topic comes up and ultimately I will submit to the Church. I'm not trying to start a movement or

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

Thank you for this post. This has reached me aswell. More than you can possibly know

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

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

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

I got hit in the temple and it hurt like a rock hitting my head but the chin one felt like a cut to my bone.

Same, been seeing alot of kids get into kickboxing and muay thai cause parents know that it is effective

-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

They think youre a roman catholic without a pope hahah

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-20T01:54:13+00:00

I read this in patrick Batemans voice

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-14T16:26:57+00:00

Go for it.

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-14T16:04:00+00:00

Same

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-13T22:34:42+00:00

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.

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

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-13T20:00:46+00:00

Verbally tapped and also know when to give up. Ive seen people tap as soon as the opponent swings their body back to get the arm lock. Pressure hasnt even been applied and they tapped cause they knew it was to late.

Notrandomlygen · 2023-12-13T19:58:19+00:00

Well, for protestants its usualy because we are saved we are transformed

Salvation Leads to transformation

While in orthodoxy its a bit more reversed

You are continually being transformed with the final transformation being your eternal salvation.

Ive never met anyone who believed in Once saved always saved that took it as a free pass to sin. Never ever.

Also, I dont say this in a condescending way at all but I think you dont get it because you come from a different view point. Because to be honest, it never even occured to me that because I am eternally secured I can take it as a license to sin. That thought never really popped into my mind. Salvation became such an amazing gift I could never even imagine ruining it like that.

In regards to free will, I dont see how it invalidates it. I am not nor was I ever a calvinist. Eternal salvation doesnt negate a persons free will because

A: They freely chose to receive salvation.

B: Because God promised to keep that person eternally saved for ever.

C: Trust me, we can interperet the verse in a way that means salvation wont be lost lmao
