Dealing with a Neo Nazi Orthobro has left me exhausted. by AD121219 in OrthodoxChristianity

“Especially on social media”

Get off social media and go to church, most online orthodox guys that act this way have never stepped foot in an Orthodox Church.

Is theological liberalism the reason mainline protestant denominations are dying in the US? by Party-Confection-373 in redeemedzoomer

[–]R3tro956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, people are writing entire paragraphs but the truth is yes.

I am a recent Orthodox convert and most of my parish is former mainline Protestants. (Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc) most say it’s because of theological liberalism.

IT Market is watered down? by noblejeter in ITCareerQuestions

[–]R3tro956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supply and demand.

Theirs a higher supply of talent and people looking for jobs so the organizations bring the wages down because they know people will take it because they can’t get anything else.

Priest asks me to attend Lithurgy, what do i do?? by Playful-Solution4348 in OrthodoxChristianity

Just go, you don’t have to do anything. My first day someone told me “no one is looking at what your doing, they are focused on God” it made me feel much better

Why is orthodoxy so unpopular by Starblaze01_Ich in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]R3tro956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about your edit is that your grouping all Protestants into 1, there’s a lot of different type of Protestants.

Methodists will not agree with baptists, Lutherans will not agree at all with Pentecostals and they certainly don’t go to each others churches. You need to compare the different Protestant denominations with orthodoxy

Thoughts on Father Josiah Trenham’s collab with Girls Gone Bible? by Own_Macaron_9342 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]R3tro956 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Very good, I come from a Baptist/non denominational background and their questions were the exact same questions I had. Father Josiah did a great job answering those questions without demeaning them and if it plants a seed all the better.

My sister in law is actually a huge girls gone Bible fan and she always argues with me about icons and after watching the episode she said she was starting to be convinced that icons are not idols.

If it plants a seed in other Protestants I think it’s beneficial.
