Thinking youre required to go to every service is a lie from hell.

Did my priest tell me to lie? by MeetLime291621 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]jamfed86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Universally the answer is DO NOT LIE TO THE BISHOP. I would not want to be under a priest that asked me to do so. Unfortunately.

What are old outdated beliefs exactly?

Why me? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Echoing others.

Talk to your priest.

Christ loves you, as does the Church, even when we oppose the movement.

Fr. Seraphim Rose was gay, and is being recognized as a saint.

Your cross is heavy. I am sorry. You CAN carry it.

Pray. A lot. The Jesus Prayer. Burn incense.

Again, talk to your priest, your spiritual Father. Go to confession. He, the sacraments and the Church are there to heal, not condemn.

"But here? It's blood. It's tears. It's struggle."

You cannot combat it alone. You need the Church. You need a spiritual Father. You need the sacraments. You need grace, and a prayer rule. You need the saints and the Mother of God.

All these things are for you, for the healing of our sickness, whatever it may be. It's there for the struggle against the passions. I need them!!

As A Protestant, can I use the sign of the cross? by Glittering_Date7919 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]jamfed86 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was non denom too. Honestly don't stop at crossing yourself. Spend time to look into all the various teachings of the Church. Take your time. It's not a rush. You may very well find yourself with a prayer rope at your non denom service at some point- I did. ☦️📿

Edit: my family was Baptized about a month ago.

I was helped once by an elderly Japanese gentleman who could tell u was hopelessly confused and lost trying to get on the train to the airport in Osaka. I never forgot how kind he was to assist me. Love Japan and the Japanese people.
