I can only speak for myself, but I'm not looking for proof. I'm just looking for a way to believe naturally without forcing it.

Well, then you goal is to stop believing in luck, and believe in God instead
May God help you with that :wave:

It usually means "unconventional" as in an unorthodox physician.

Unorthodox, in a religious sense, means not practicing the true faith because Orthodox means right belief and correct worship.
Thank you for your answer. From debating in UT it seemed clear this forum is for attacking the Bible.

What do you expect from UT? :doh:

"Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them."
- Romans 16:17​

Those in UT are not there to learn the truth, but to spread their lies. Do as Saint Paul advises, and avoid those people. You will not be edified there, and you cannot help those who do not want help.

Good points. However Christians are to preach the Truth. They will be confronted on Judgment Day face to face with God Himself for rejecting the Bible.

Absolutely, Christians are to preach the Truth.

We can't forget Pauls's admonition, though. Nether should we forget our Lord's words:

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
- Matthew 7:6​

So if you feel that you must go there, go. But be careful, and be ready to dust off your sandals.

FYI. The Orthodox monastics have library archives and manuscripts supporting the complex history behind the various translations of the OT/NT Christian Bible.

:wave: That three-bar cross definitely looks good on your profile. :thumbsup:

Yes, I agree.

And BibleDoctor ....

That blue tri-bar cross looks fantastic, Wesley.
I continue to pray for you (and I had an inkling that was you under your current username). :wave:

Utah was my first guess. Unrealiable turkey was my second guess. Then I'd say University of Texas followed by UT as the first note of the major scale. Universal time, useless technician, ugly terrorist, there are many uses for this acronym! LOL

haha, I be guilty

Since I have been at CF for many years (2003), I knew of the existence of UT, especially when some TAWers started attacking the Mormons, and one came here to complain. Would anyone not expect them to remain silent? Would you if Orthodoxy were attacked in UT? We must be careful to post in charity.
