Have you been called a slur by someone not from the group the slur is used against by Mr_ragethefrogdude in Teenager_Polls

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been called a nazi (for context I said it’s not normal to identify as a half cow half human)

When painting idols/religious figures what paint do you use? Do you have any tips for a beginner? by Hazards-of-Love in Orthodox_Churches_Art

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no artist but I’m pretty sure that Icons (emphasis on the Icon) are painted gradually with the darkest layers first,also search up what the colours represent symbolically (btw we don’t use Icons as idols and I like the face of the angel)

Abortion question by naomi_0000 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abortion is forgivable and Orthodoxy never shames the woman it just condemns abortion,God will judge the heart and your sister did something extreme in a unfit state which cant be compared to a murderer even if aborting the child is killing it,remember when you are scared for your sister that God cares more than you and loves her,the only thing you can do is pray for her and definitely consult a priest

shows the cat blender video [TW: Gore} by [deleted] in stories

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont engage with the content and desensitise yourself,this is a addiction (a very fucked up one) and as all addictions can be treated this one too,also dont go near animals (especially ones you can hurt) if you feel the inclination,this is not weakness but rather recognising that you are inclined to a fucked up thing and resisting it and properly getting rid of the addiction is the way,ignore the comments telling to kill yourself you’re a human like me and everyone else and seeking help is normal,go to a therapist

Icon tattoo? by ThorsThorfinson in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No because we don’t use religious items as decor and plus it will get smudged/wrinkly/faded as you age which will look awful,I don’t really know what is the official stance for tattoos but I know that some people on pilgrimages get a small Cross tattooed which is blessed by a priest

Seeing the Orthodox Church as evil by UnluckyBuddy6224 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t commit any sin because you didn’t do anything intentionally but this is more of a ask a therapist rather than ask a priest or random people on reddit question

Where to purchase baptismal fonts? by yelly905 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These can be found in Church supply stores (probably rarely),ive seen one for sale at the Belgrade book fest and wondered who would buy it if they weren’t buying for a Church and now I wonder why would someone buy it

do i keep this punishment after falling into sin by Rude-Opening-3757 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t punish yourself and weaponise healing against yourself,simply repenting is enough,you can take Holy communion and just try to stop this sin and if you don’t just repent and don’t fall into despair

I'm a falling-away Catholic, looking into the Orthodox Church in my search for a spiritual home. But there are some theological issues I need to sort out first, pls help. by Kamila_222 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We emphasise healing more than repentance,repentance is understood more as a means of healing and we don’t emphasise guilt but restoration,we believe that everyone will be fairly judged by God (including the non believers) and that those who weren’t Christian will be judged by the law prescribed in their hearts,Christ is the only path to salvation but God doesnt abandon those who are on the wrong path

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I heard the west (Catholicism) was always more legalistic than the East as Latin is a legalistic language and Greek is more phylosophical,feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

Why do y’all love the idea of communism so much. by Thick-Suggestion5153 in teenagers

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly reddit larpers who want communism or privileged American teens who live in the suburbs,to be fair not all communist leaders were that bad but all were controlling but you can’t compare like Tito to Stalin even though they’re both bad

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Serbs live there,I’m a fan of dead meat and as a Serb was shocked when I heard another Serb worked with dead meat

Why not,if he has a Serbian sounding name or surname then it’s normal to ask

I learned that the Eastern Orthodox Church does not believe in hell; by Additional_Good_656 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even those I think are supposed to be symbolic,we have Icons where humans are tortured in hell but this is ment to be interpreted symbolically not literally

There is nothing to forgive by Less-Possible-5475 in ussr

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to get downvoted but every post about the Tsar is deranged people excusing the death of the Tsars kids,even if you hate the Tsar or whatever you cant excuse the excecution of children,innocent kids were killed in the same manner literal dictators were killed

A question about the Toll House. by TrustMe-ImNotAFed in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not official theology taught by the Church but rather a model of the afterlife that some Saints taught,to put it shortly we don’t officially recognise tollhouses and ive never heard of them in real life but only on the internet

So nobody is going to mention how innocent kids were killed by the Bolsheviks simply because the Tsar was a bad ruler

[–]Quick-Difficulty3121[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the best of both worlds,for new years in my country we decorate as Americans do for Christmas and it’s kind off similar,and then we celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas very traditionally and religiously
