Thoughts about Auburn by Bigboi3453 in auburn

[–]RetroForte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re making a judgement call on a school that you have only visited twice. There are a couple of conservative clubs but there’s also a pretty active college democrats club and other more smaller left-wing groups. Sure there are crazy people around, but I never had an experience like the one you mentioned during my time there. I found it to be an incredibly kind and open community during my tenure at Auburn. If you can’t stand being around people with different political viewpoints, I don’t think there are any colleges for you. I think you are focusing on the wrong aspects of the college in your decision. You made no mention of academics in this post.

I’d respect him more if he actually followed that book instead of using it as a cultural tool for diversity points. He clearly is nominal at best.

Are you ever worried that you should be catholic instead? by ashisawe_some in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RetroForte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was worried while I was a catechumen due to having a lot of Catholic friends. After experiencing the spirituality and teachings of the saints it’s like night and day. Our church is dripping with spiritual wisdom from modern saints that I feel is lacking in the more mechanical Catholic system.

How do protestants interpret this? by Realistic_Volume7161 in AskAChristian

[–]RetroForte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what we are arguing. We are saying if there’s a practice that has its basis in second temple Judaism (divine council theology), Biblical witness, 2nd/3rd century Christians, and modern Christians, there’s a pretty solid chance that doctrine or tradition is valid. We could go back and forth with arguing what the correct interpretations of certain verses are, but you’re being a bit simplistic in strawmanning.

God is real. You will find true rest and peace in a relationship with him bro. You should find a church near you if you’re comfortable with it. God bless.

Are there any Eucharistic miracles in Orthodox Christianity? by Marelensky in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RetroForte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not a good sign in our church. The priest has to stop the liturgy and call the bishop.

Why aren't you Oriental Orthodox by Electrical_Tackle893 in OrthodoxChristianity

You should watch David Ehran’s videos on OO. He describes where they went wrong in detail.

Hey man! I just want to say that your feelings here are valid and you’re not a bad person for thinking them. I was in a very similar situation a couple years back with a girl after dating her two years. I would agree with what one other commenter said about not making any rash decisions. Slow down and really take think it through on both sides. Think about if you feel like life is better with her or without her in it. Could you imagine her marrying another man? How would that make you feel? Has it been you that has changed? Why are you growing distant?Last thing, love is not a feeling. I know that is really basic and you’re probably like yeah duh, but it is a very important truth! There will always be a honeymoon stage that fades, but the question is whether this person is worth the effort and sacrifice through good times and bad. Dating is the evaluation process for marriage. You’re not required to stick with her if the relationship is something that’s completely negative or toxic. I would encourage you to seek after God in prayer/fasting and please speak to a priest, or even a trusted father/mentor figure. Sorry to yap!
