    need advice

    @Seaking2 Don't be desperate and stop torturing yourself with that thoughts. You're passing through something that every christian has to deal with. So, it's completely normal. I also had a big problem with that and I still have. What helped me in struggle with this temptation were the words...

    how is masturbation a sin

    That's true, but it doesn't mean that we should proclaim it as something good, just because most peope do that. Firstable, as an orthodox christian, I do not believe that everything that is sin has to be mentioned in the Bible. I also believe in holy tradition, which is a living presence of the...

    Premarital sex?

    Exactly. I've never found a place in the scriptures where is explicitly said something(positive or negative) about premarital sex. There is only interpretation of some verses, based on one's opinion about this topic. Also, what about Paul's words that a woman/man married to a non-christian can...

    d)I like to drink when I go out with my friends, but I'm not drunk in a full sense of the word. I'm just relaxed and I laugh all the time.

    What's your opinion on...

    Until a year ago, I didn't have facebook. It was unnecessarily for me and I thought it's just a waste of time. But then, I created my facebook account and I found it very helpful. Many people says that facebook is anti-social and that divides people, but I can say that fb helped me to become...

    Drinking in college

    It's not a sin if you drink moderately. I also drink and I dont think that I do something bad. Relax and enjoy in life. :) If you're a christian, it doesnt mean that you have to stop living normal and doing daily things(go out with your friends, listen music etc.). Actually, by doing that you...

    Does God expect teenage boys to be perfect?

    Of course not. Only one thing that God expects is to always try to be better. We are all sinners and there is no man without sin(except Christ). God just wants from us to be what we really are, and not to try to pretend to be someone else. If you are arrogant, or avaricious or something else -...

    Devoid of faith.

    It's all the same for me. I don't believe that you will go to hell. From historical point of view, we have no evidence that Jesus was crucified, resurrected, made miracles etc., but I think that we can be sure that one man called Jesus existed in Judea in the 1st century, and that he believed...

    For me, relationship is also a marriage, if they like each other and want to live together.

    Devoid of faith.

    Firstly, I don't believe that you will go to hell, just because you are atheist. Secondly, am I right that you think about hell like a real place on which God send us if we do not perform his will ? And it's not. My truth(or better to say Truth) is not any book, but one real person-Christ, who...

    is it ok to have sex with my girl friend

    If you love each other, there is no problem to have sex with your girlfriend. If there is no love between you two, it's a sin. Very simple.

    Devoid of faith.

    Who says that God holds you responsible because you don't believe in him? God doesn't judge you. I agree with you. God (described in the Old testament) is not a loving God, and, as Dawkins says in " The God delusion", he is one of the most unpleasant character ever. But, the point is that I...

    Devoid of faith.

    I believe because in the Holy Liturgy I feel that Christ is with us. That's all what I will tell you. I have no evidence that God exists, and no one has. You can not find evidence for God's existence. You believe in him or not. So, you are completely free to choose. I always say that when I...

    Why do we pray? Intercession etc. [HELP!]

    We pray because it is a way on which we make a personal communion with God and know him as our Father(but, I think that we realize that particularly within holy communion).

    Were you brought up a christian, or did you find your faith of your own accord?

    I can say that I'm born in atheistic family. We celebrated the Christmas, Christ's Resurrection, but it was just a part of tradition, if you know what I mean. Then, when I was 13, I started to go to Church, to pray, to fast, to read different theological books... so, I was becoming more and...

    Premarital sex?

    I don't know if this topic was before. So, what do you think about premarital sex? Is this a sin or not? This is what I think. Generally speaking, yes, it is a sin. But, the question that attracted my attention is:what marriage really is? Is that just a Church ritual or something more? For me...
