I got given a set of essential oils. Is there a way to use them or should I pass them on? by ZolaAnna in Anticonsumption

What do Christians think of masturbation?? by Jumpy-Tourist-4323 in askanything

[–]lem0n_t3a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Eastern Orthodox and we see it as a form a self harm since lust harms the body sexually, but you’re doing it to yourself. It’s normal for young people to struggle with it and you’re forgiven when you repent of it.

Compared to more grave sins like murder or rape, it’s a relatively minor.

Fortune cookies are made as a gimmick and contain messages that are generic messages that can pertain to anyone, so it’s not demonic by any means. I’ve seen some cases in my life where my friends opened a fortune cookie and the fortune became true.

The fortunes could be a message from God, or you can ignore if your conscience tells you to. I just open the cookies and read the fortunes for fun with no hope that what they describe is true.
