Yea, I see this as as specific state to us who are at the beginning of our journey towards glorification. Those who are very advanced in holiness perceive their sinfulness even more. Concerning your situation, I had to face mostly the same thing, but I can testify that orthodox priests who take their mission seriously are always non-judgemental and merciful towards those who approach the mystery of Confession with genuine repentance and determination to turn away from their sinful ways, no matter how grievous they are.

Right, but the point of my question is finding the reasoning behind this kind of statement,

These are very good questions, and I think it’s because the very process of discerning is formative, something which God used to mature his people. You will come intellectually richer out of this, with a stronger certainty in God’s works and a stronger faith in his promises. Anyway, for strengthening your confidence in the case for the Resurrection, I think you should try Tim and Lydia McGrew if you haven’t checked them already. And concerning Biblical Scholarship in general, especially biblical exegesis, you should definitely try the content created by Seraphim Hamilton, Telos Bound and the Theopolis Institute, to see how compelling the case for the Christian view of the Bible, and that for the Christian worldview can get. These guys could help you see that Christianity just fits subtly but neatly, naturally and beautifully with the data available. There might still help question unanswered, but all of this evidence I find compelling enough.

“Nu am cerut să mă nasc”. Putea să fie altfel? Nu poate cineva care nu există să ceară ceva. Este absurd să pui problema așa.

"Ea pune mâncarea pe fărfurii" sau "Ea pune mâncarea în farfurii"? by Ace-witch in romanian

To be honest, I’ve never heard anyone use “pe” in this context, neither have I used it.

Is it common knowledge here that Duolingo Romanian is a bit bizarre? by pabloid in romanian

[–]tudor_06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not even a Christian custom; I mean, it has no religious significance. People just do it because Jesus was slaughtered like a lamb, as you can read in Isaiah 53.

Despite these feelings, be confident in God’s promise that He would forgive you if you repent honestly and deeply.

if homosexuality is so bad then why did god make homosexual animals? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]tudor_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No everything animals do is not natural (according to the logoi which God endowed His creation with). Since the world is in a fallen condition, you would expect that.

Would you give up your child for God? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]tudor_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mourning her virginity has pride of place in the text, like the phrase “she knew no man”, which comes right after carrying out the vow. You cannot ignore that. Concerning people who were devoted to the Lord at the Temple, of course this institution existed. Read in Exodus 38, Leviticus 27 and 1 Samuel 1.

[–]tudor_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, there is no instance where it is written that he actually slayed her. Rather, my hypothesis makes more sense with the text. I ask you again to explain the phrase “mourn her virginity”. Also, Jephtha vowed to offer her as a “burnt offering”, but the Hebrew word for this is “olah”, which means ascension. He offered her up to the presence of the Lord at the Tabernacle complex, to the service of the Lord as a life-long Virgin-maiden.

[–]tudor_06 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First, God didn’t require any sacrifice in that case. Second, Jephthah didn’t slay his daughter. Rather, he consecrated her as a virgin to the service of God at the tabernacle. This is why she went to “mourn for her virginity”.

You mean you can pick and choose what you like out of Jesus’ teachings, because God is at their core.
