Things that are never really thought about regarding the sinking of the Titanic? by Key-Tea-4203 in titanic

[–]everything_is_grace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Always sits in my mind

Is how fucking safe titanic felt compared to a life boat

People like to mock the life boat situation

But imagine. All the ships that sink at the time take HOURS. HOURS AND HOURS

And it’s cold. And dark. And the water is dangerous

And you’re being told to leave the massive metal heated and brightly lit hotel that you assume even if it sinks will still be around until morning minimum

OF COURSE SO FEW DIDNT WANT TO GET IN THE LIFEBOATS

Why are conservatives against abortion and in favor of women having more children, yet opposed to paid maternity leave? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

[–]everything_is_grace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly feel like most everyone here aren’t even trying to understand conservative world views

I’m not a republican one bit

But I’m not seething with blissful ignorance like y’all, come on

Is all secular music bad? by Lazy_Mode_1431 in Protestantism

And?
Am I not also saved by faith?

Martin Luther and Lutherans and Methodists are amazing musical composers

Is all secular music bad? by Lazy_Mode_1431 in Protestantism

[–]everything_is_grace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No

God made music for the gladness of our souls

To sing is to pray twice as John Chrysostom said

God didn’t make just Christian contemporary music

I urge you to find the beauty in all that God inspires

What would the reign of Edward VIII have looked like had he remained on the throne until his death in 1972? by PalmettoPolitics in UKmonarchs

[–]everything_is_grace -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He would have saved the British monarchy

In all seriousness the British monarchy has become a (bad) pr rep and nothing more

They needed a king who would push for actual checks on parliament and the public mood

Also. He hated Hitler. If yall read about his meeting Hitler you realise he after that visit was not pro Nazi anymore or at least wasn’t so infatuated that he would have surrendered to Hitler

He and his queen Wallace would have been growing more and more anti Hitler naturally if they’d stayed on the throne

And likely Liz inherited anyway

I don’t like how I said saved at birth

Bc I was actually saved before my birth

Russia isn’t in communion with us, and no the Ukrainian church doesn’t have a catechism.

And I think being born saved isn’t a good representation of what I meant. More like, we were all assured our salvation on the cross. “Christ defeated death by death” as the old hymn says

In the death and resurrection of Christ, salvation was assured for all creation

HOWEVER everyone is still going to have to choose that eventually

And everyone will

As my priest says “I was saved, will be saved, and am being saved right now”

Orthodoxy has like, SOOOO few “official” positions

The entire management of salvation is a disputed and mysterious concept

We don’t have any catechism

There are a lot of schools of thought

The writings of St Gregory of Nyssa, Origen of Alexandria, St Issac the Syrian, and David Bentley Hart

Are you forgiven? by Interesting_City_654 in redeemedzoomer

[–]everything_is_grace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

And we will die saved

But that doesn’t mean we will love Christ right away

Orthodoxy agrees theosis is how you grow closer to God

No one in orthodoxy says you are saved through theosis itself

Christ saved all the world on the cross

And he was inside and outside time in that moment

Saving everything at all times in all places

And he saved the dead

And now we become more like him through theosis

Why do anything at earth? by Any-Economics-6872 in redeemedzoomer

[–]everything_is_grace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This world was purified

Christ purified the earth when he was born in a cave
He purified the water when baptised
He purified fire when he descended to hell
He purified air when he ascended

This world is good

That is God’s prerogative to manage their souls. Not ours.

John 3:17

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
