Dear, I believe you know the answer, as you have written it. You don't have to marry him ever, but if you think he's not suitable for marriage, it's fair to let him go. You won't end up alone forever if you do so. Try not to be instructed by irrational fear. He can be your friend, grab a...

Wonderful answer, and at the same time the answer to your question from the subject: If I am any good, it is from the God. It is not about keeping score, is someone good enough. It is about love for God, people and all creation. Getting close to God and his Love through sincere prayer and open...

Yes, at least for Orthodox church. Child is alive from the moment of conception. It is not it's fault his bodily father is not a good man, and that child also has it's Heavenly Father. Some raped women prayed to lose a child conceived in rape. They thought they would hate the child. In largest...

If you call her terrible and don't know how to love her (just from the caption), then I'm not sure why are you still with that person? Divorces are happening every minute, either you believe in them or not, even kings were getting divorced (queens usually get a guillotine). If she uses your...

Who gave a man the right to "discipline" a woman? If you can not accept the person, and live in relative peace, don't live with them, don't choose them as a wife or husband. Find some soul you can live with. When a man, full of his own faults - but "a man", would try to "discipline" me, show me...

God gave the free will to all existence. So to him. He chose to become what he is now. If he would ask, I think God would chose how he should repent. But we all know he will not ask for repentance. Especially not now when he must be thinking how everything is going to the plan. Pride is the...

Not a Christian thing

Believing in rapture or not, I think we won't have to wait for the end of the world for the grid to go down, it will happen much sooner. It would be good to learn how to live without it, in any case. I know, it's hard, but people lived like that for millenniums.

Everything pro-life is good, against life is evil. No need for quotes. So adoption, taking an orphan into your family, is wonderful. Sterilization can be considered both as a self-mutilation, and same as contraception - making love just for the sake of it, kind of indulgence, and not letting...

What is an evil government? I'd say if it kills and enslaves people, if it does not allow religious expression, if it is working against it's people's interest and sells out the land, then it is evil and the answer is obvious. There is a famous quote that every ruler is from God. But it does not...

I can't find that forum, is it under some other category?

He does, for those with spiritual ears to hear. If you need a voice in your physical ears, I'd be wary of that, because those who are a bit closer to Earth can make us hear things too. But if you are truly searching for God, and hearing is what you need to be saved, who knows... ? +

Dear one, that's a great sign you are starting to pick up parts of your being back together, because I believe you got broken, more than once. I also believe you can be whole once again. But, please be wise and ask for help from people too, especially ones who dealt with similar situations, as...

Our Lord Jesus Christ had twofold nature, not two persons. He was God and Man. He showed his Godly nature many times while here on Earth, but most prominent on the day we now call Transfiguration of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ. He did not 'die' as such, He sacrificed Him self for us...

It depends on the interpretation of the word "meditation". If in your mind it has the same meaning as in eastern philosophies, movements and religions, then - no. If the word "meditation" is used as "thinking deeply about something and praying to God to understand it well", then - yes. Even...

When you need to ask "is this abuse?", the answer is most often: yes. I don't know anything about you or him, so I can't say who's right or wrong, but if you are interested in psychological and emotional abuse, I can recommend Melanie Tonia Evans and Dr. Ramani Durvasula. Two wonderful...

You have asked such a nice question. We give our selves to Christ now and forever. Here on Earth it is a constant fight with our fallen nature and other forces. We rise and we fall and need to rise again. We need to be prepared for the time of our death, because then there is no more time for us...

maybenotcrazy, were you interested in a long prayer of Saint Cyprian for protection against magic? I wanted to sent it to an English speaking person, but I had no luck finding it. That is strange, although maybe understandable since it is not a common or everyday prayer. That's how I came across...
