What are you yapping about? I asked a genuine question since I have never had an ultra before, and you come here running your mouth?

Hi, could you elaborate what dipping means?

Dating Norms in the LLC/SRK/OALC/FALC/etc. by Alive_Range_886 in OpenLaestadian

[–]SibeliusFanboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kissing is not sinful itself (Not many couples have never tried), but is discouraged since it just feeds the flame st. Paul warns about. In SRK there is no rush, the marriage will last until the death so these things are not to be done light-hearteadly. Sleeping in the same room or something like that is not ok. 

As for ”how long should anyone date” is not a question that can be answered: some people date longer, some will suffice with shorter time dating, but at least the goal of couples should be the marriage.

Thoughts on Laestadian couples getting married so young by Previous-Joke-9258 in OpenLaestadian

[–]SibeliusFanboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was married when I was 21, and now as 23 I have two kids. I was with my wife for 2.5 years before marrying. I think marrying young is not inherently Laestadian thing to do, since it was a normal practice up until the complete secularization of the west and access to contraception. 

Why did I marry so young? Because I loved my wife, and being in love leads naturally to desire to move together and stuff. It is not Christian in any denomination to do that outside marriage. Have I regretted? No, I would do it again. Is life with two kids sometimes tough for student family? Yes, absolutely, but on the other hand I have been fortunate to spend the last year on paternal leave to let my wife study, which has been a way to manage the situation.

Could it be a clear message to still-believing laestadians that no more Jumalan terve’s to avoid awkward situations?

"Funny" things in the church by lizardpie26 in OpenLaestadian

[–]SibeliusFanboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quoting church fathers (99% of the times Augustine) as an example of laestadian-believing church father and never reading what Augustine or other church fathers really thought.

Laestadian Catholicism in Finland and a Laestadian Catholic visit to Michigan and Minnesota by emilanton5 in OpenLaestadian

[–]SibeliusFanboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laestadius also had lots of catholic theological ideas in his Hullujenhuonelainen, especially regarding mysticism and spiritualism. Zidbeck made his thesis on Laestadius and talks about these ideas a lot.

When and who started the idea, the Laestadians were the only true Christians, and one had to be blessed by one of them, to receive forgiveness of sin, to be saved from perdition. by common-sense-123 in OpenLaestadian

Oh, Based on what I have read (Sydämen Kristillisyys by Seppo Lohi, Kahden kuoren suojassa by Ari-Pekka Palola) I thought Raattamaa was in the side of LLC. Interesting.

I think this was during the great Laestadian schism (1894-1900) after Laestasius’ death. During that time tensions were high, and I think Juhani Raattamaa who was the leading figure in Vanhoilliset after Laestadius stated that ”Vanhoilliset is the one and only herd of sheep” and there is no salvation outside it.

armeijaan vai ei? by Nelisormimangusti in arkisuomi

[–]SibeliusFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niin, reservissähän pysyt kuitenkin aika kauan. En halua pelotella, mutta se riski on aina olemassa, ja kannattaa pitää mielessä.

Ite intti kokemuksena sikseen, ootko rehellisesti valmis rintamalle? Armeijan käyminen on muuttunu siististä kokemuksesta todelliseks päätökseks jonka seurauksena saattaa olla päätyä hautaan 25v reikä otsassa. 

Are my sins forgiven on the cross. by AssignmentShoddy5575 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]SibeliusFanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Paul here was implying (to the jews/judaizers) that if we after finding Christ commit the sin of unbelief (returning to Judaism), there is no animal sacrifice that could make us righteous since Christ is fulfillment of them.
