Orthodoxy is Catholic

Orthodox people (converts especially) often hear, see, and read; even think, say, and believe, that to be Orthodox, you must adopt the clothing, practices, and language of some culture that is foreign to your own.

This is not something a priest will ever tell you, Thanks be to God, but it is an overall impression that people can gather online, at coffee hour, or at Bible study. It always happens the coolest guy there is studying koine Greek.

Evangelists online, with only the best of intentions (probably a recent seminary student) will recommend converts brush up on their Greek or Church Slavonic. Female ortho-personalities will recommend women not just veil, but wear a pavlovo posad. Be sure to use the liturgical calendar to plan all events, religious or otherwise! The more niche evangelists (Antiochians) will make you learn classical Arabic and grow a beard.

All of these things are well and Good. It is good to learn the liturgical languages. Women should veil and the pavlovo posad is as fine a way as any, and I love the Julian calendar as much as the next girl. I too am studying classical Arabic and beards have my stamp of approval. But none of these are necessary to be Orthodox.

No one needs to make themselves into a Russian, Syrian, or Greek to be Orthodox. I find the accusation that you do to be particularly gross because our whole Liturgical theology goes against this-- our whole evangelistic history goes against this. We have our liturgy in the vernacular for a reason! Saint Herman of Alaska evangelized the way he did for a reason!

Our Church is Catholic. It is Universal. You ought to love the people that God allowed you to be born into.

John 14:27 NIV

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Thinking about that new Journey to the West game about Sun Wukong made me remember that Scott Cawthon once made an RPG out of The Pilgrim's Progress. What Journey to the West was for Buddhism, The Pilgrim's Progress was for Christianity. I think with all of the experience Scott gained making all the FNAF games, he could remake his Pilgrim's Progress game into something really amazing today.

If not him, then perhaps a dedicated fan group could take a swing at it.

I can dream.

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”” (Psalms 110:1)

“I know in Whom I believe! I believe in Jesus. He is able to safely guard all that I have entrusted to Him, and all that He has entrusted to me! For all power and authority have been given to Jesus, Who has promised to come to you, to live in you, and to never leave you. He will meet you within your inner self, and there He will safely guide and guard you. Whatever you commit to the Lord Jesus in your inner self, comes under the power of His protection! Jesus is able to safely guard any trial, any problem, and any condition. For He is Lord of All! He is JESUS!”

—Poem by Ken Pilcher, Jr.

It's weird when you start wondering if everything someone told you was a lie - someone you care deeply about. If they only told you these things to keep you in line and keep you close. "This person doesn't like you, that one doesn't get it. They must wonder how I put up with you."

And you feel down, and you feel worthless, and you wonder if you're just an object of flesh to them because they don't see how badly that hurts but what can you do for them?

But even in this dark pit when you feel like you're never gonna get out, you're gonna continue in this cycle, you're never gonna live in the Light because it's more convenient for people if you live in the dark and are bound by the chains of their expectations. You will climb out.

God is working something in your life for the good and for His glory and you will make it out and you will be okay. Yes, His answer is yes. Maybe not right now, not right away but His answer is yes and you have to believe on that. It's a time for miracles.

You want to be good.

You want to be better.

But sit back, let Him do.

And you'll see what's to come.

And it will be so much better than you can ever imagine.

Whatever you're going through. He sees you.

Confess and Believe

In the Old Testament, the Jewish people had a very different relationship with God than we have today. Because Adam and Eve went against Him, a divide was formed between humans and God. Years later, God gave Moses a long list of rules—the law—for His followers to live by. A relationship with God was based on how well believers followed the law. In order to become right with God, they would have to regularly go through a series of rituals and follow His list of rules perfectly.

Because this relationship was complicated and challenging—many people had a hard time following the Law. But regardless of the mistakes they made, God still loved His people—and He wanted to make things right with them. So God sent His Son, Jesus, to live a life on earth as a man, and take the punishment humans deserved.

Because of Jesus, we no longer have to follow the law perfectly in order to become right with God. Instead, Paul tells us in Romans:

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:10 NIV

Because of Jesus, becoming right with God is much simpler than it was in the Old Testament. If we believe Jesus is God and declare our faith in Him, we are saved. It can sometimes be hard to believe this, but because of Jesus, God invites us into a relationship with Him just as we are. We don’t have to be perfect. We don't have to do anything to deserve it—we just have to be willing to accept it.

But although we no longer have to follow the law, this doesn’t mean we should do whatever we like. Through a relationship with Jesus, we’re encouraged to become more like Him each day. It’s not always easy, and we won’t always be perfect—but like a loving parent teaching His child to walk, Jesus is forgiving—He will help us after we fall, and encourage us to keep going.

If you don’t have a relationship with Jesus—know that He loves you and will meet you where you are. He doesn’t expect perfection. Instead, all He asks for is your belief in Him. Take a moment to tell Him now that you believe in Him, and ask Him to guide your life. The offer is open, all you have to do is accept it.

“Would you like a free picture of Jesus”

Idk, do you think Jesus would like it if I, and every other Christian, had his picture hanging on the wall?

My gut says he wouldn’t be a fan. And the “Christians” who question your faith because you don’t are very irritating.

“Oh you don’t go to church”

No, I don’t, because the Lesbian pastor who looks like the preacher from the Simpsons is very likely lost. Or the male pastor who pushed everyone to get vaccinated is a tool and liar. All that and Acts 17:24.

And I’m no theologian, but Catholics should read Matthew. There’s scripture in chapter 6 or 7 that is very specific on how one should pray. Just saying. And it seems on that alone, most churches contradict the Bible. Even if it’s just that one thing.

Idk, I’m annoyed because as I was walking into my house with my hands full, 2 Mormon girls stopped me and started grilling me and I got real short with them real quick. I shouldn’t have done that but, I am far from the good Christian I want to be. I will try to make amends when I see them again.

The World wears it's crown. People who are in war some may have a peace in a bit. Though never feel the same nor see life as free in this world. Hope is to hold on to. Faith is to keep it. Love is to look forward and not be bitter inheart. Inheart let 🎚 God gide you're ways . Some musica is brings us to live with in.
