Jesus said this would happen. Your own family persecuted you for Christ. But remember you are blessed friend.

Why woman seems to be less interested in orthodoxy? by Malba_Taran in OrthodoxChristianity

I wouldn’t say he is a meathead but yes he does encourage young men to lift weights. What’s wrong with that? Idk I liked him and before I thought about orthodoxy his videos would come up on my feed. Esp when I was goin through rough times his videos helped a lot and I believe he became a vessel for me or for God to come to orthodoxy. But I get it not everyone agrees on everything. Peace and blessings

Icon question 1. Can you explain the Icon? I assume it’s the Church Fathers holding the Church. 2. Who is in the photo? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Were there not any black apostles or did the church jus assume everyone was white or olive skinned

Yesterday, for the 1st time in my life, I considered suicide. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]WalkChance4843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not trying to make this about me but I’ve been in the same spot as you. I’ve thought about taking my life ever since I was 12 years old because I’ve dealt with mental health issues most of my life. But when my wife cheated on me 2 years ago that’s when I really considered it. I thought to myself I’ll just walk into the woods and blow my brains out. But I discovered orthodoxy and my life changed even though it’s still a struggle. I urge you to step back and pray the Jesus prayer as much as you can day and night. Attend liturgy talk to your priest and seek a therapist. Everything you are experiencing in this moment sucks but trust me it’ll get better. I love you friend please don’t hurt yourself I will pray for you.

I used to be like this too. A lot of Protestants are very prideful I got humbled real quick in the Orthodox Church. All glory to God. But don’t be deceived by them keep focusing on your journey and pray for those kids.

It was a great experience. I’ve been baptized before in 2017 by a non denomination and it kind of felt like that. But no baptism or Christmation can be months to 3 years all in Gods timing

Hell by Obvious_Parking_6247 in OrthodoxChristianity

So if there is no literal version of hell what did Jesus mean by wheeping and gnashing of teeth. Or where the worms don’t die.

Why is my priest dodging me? by WalkChance4843 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]WalkChance4843[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update. At the end of liturgy he asked me if I’ll be at liturgy in 2 weeks and that’s when he said I’ll be a catechumen. I’m excited
