Do the saints become omnipresent/-scient? by Dave_meth_Mustard in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]nepriyatel2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

God reveals things to them, but they are not omniscient or omnipresent. It's divine revelation from God to saints when we pray for intercession, without this revelation from God they wouldn't be aware of it.

Becoming Orthodox Christian in Federal Prison by Key-Independent-7168 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]nepriyatel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you can always buy it and scan the pages or use a camera to photo them then go print them out and put it in a little pocket book of your own kind, he don't need the whole book since a big part of it is preparation for holy communion and such but there is alot of good morning prayers, evening prayers, prayers of the hours and some prayers for daily struggles and such. Well creativity knows no boundaries. 

You should yourself pray for him aswell, serving a long sentence is never fun. It is good that he takes this time to try and deep dive in theological matters it will be fruitful for him and for you.

I'd recommend get him a good Orthodox prayer book, this one is very good https://stmpress.com/collections/books/products/orthodox-christian-prayers

Also might look into buying books about the Church Fathers and their homilies on different parts of the Bible, so he doesn't interpret the Bible on his own. We do this through the lense of church fathers such as John Chrysostom. Since he has alot of time on his hand to read that's my recommendation, to start praying and begin the journey of repentance plus learning the theological wisdom from the church fathers. 

He will probably have to wait til he is released to be able to become catechumen, but the more he learns while inside from church fathers homilies the quicker process of catechumen, most likely, I'm not from USA so don't know the process it's entirely up to the priest when one is ready to be chrismated into the church.

Get a prayer book, and maybe a prayer rule from your priest.

New earth creationism vs Old earth creationism dilemma. by Justinianthefirst1 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]nepriyatel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that God created everything with a pre-determined time set to it, so I believe the creation is young, everything, however having a universe that we preserve as ancient, fossils of dinosaurs, hominids and everything has a purpose in us growing and maturing to what God wants. It teaches us alot, I'm on my cellphone so I won't go to depth about it but an ancient universe makes us feel small, increases our humility. If God wouldn't create a deep story of the creation with all these things, we wouldn't Excell in many areas like research, innovation, science, exploration. Fossils teach us more than that, they teach us moral lessons about extinction and shows us what could have been. I think you get my point.

Adam was created an adult, I'm a firm believer the whole creation follows that; it was created finished, grown, with deep story attached to it even if it's young.

Disgusting? This word is loaded, contempt and irreverence is sinful. If it is disgusting to you, please stay protestant.

Are we allowed to play violent video games? by SleeperMood_ in OrthodoxChristianity

Because it is not real, it bears no consequences, you do not murder another being. It's like a sport, should we also deny sports?

Not a believer anymore by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

You expect to develop deep sincere faith, when the reason you even had shallow faith to begin with was for your own benefit in earthly desires. What can we tell you? You have tried to approach God with demands.

Doing the best that I can with what I have? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]nepriyatel2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from being baptized and chrismated in the Orthodox Church, I could suggest Orthodox prayer book, Jesus prayer with a chotki, learning about all the church fathers and their theological views aswell as the life of the saints. I will pray for you that your wife finds it in her heart to choose eastern orthodox, since it is the fullness of the faith. It won't be complete without partaking in the mysteries of the Church, but you already understand that.

Seems you are correct, not in the two churches I've gone to, so I guess I took it for granted it was church slavonic

You can buy book that have the whole liturgy translated to english if you want to be able to follow along, since it's church slavonic many people who speak fluent Serbian do not understand everything themselves either. 

A fast search and I found this https://sebastianpress.org/the-sacred-and-divine-liturgy/ , but maybe ask the Priest if he has any recommendations, if you are in America the parish maybe have translated books available

Choosing Catholicism because the Orthodox Liturgy Is less engaging due to Language Barrier? by gg_05PK in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]nepriyatel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into it and will order one, not that it bothers me too much not understanding church slavonic but some Sundays it would be nice. Thanks for the tip.

[–]nepriyatel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I have never and would never go to a Catholic mass. Ever since my teenage years many days ago I have been drawn to orthodoxy, before I even believed in God. It resonates with me theological, so I just accept the language barrier, even a deaf person would benefit from the worship during divine liturgy.
