@DoNotXD Are you a catechumen?

I have heard that term before but unfamiliar with it.

It means that you are actively learning about the Church in the church

Are you someone being taught before formal acceptance?

Then as of now, not yet.

I have only visited once, but it was a good visit, my wife also agreed.

🤔

Okay, good for you then

I hope you will continue to look into things

The worship of God in the Orthodox Church is modeled with influence of the worship from the times of the Jewish Temple period of the Old Testament

interesting, thanks.

@DoNotXD I'm a Pentecostal, also not a catechumen yet but exploring Orthodoxy

At this point I'm pretty convinced it's the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

I'm in the same boat. Grown up a baptist and generally low church protestant, but went to a Serbian-Orthodox liturgy a few weeks ago, and still considering asking about how they handle catechumen, even if I don't speak a word serbian.

Hopefully, they'll accept you. If not, you can always try the Eastern Catholics. We aren't the evil uniates the Russians would have you believe. 😉

Im in this asian american christian fb group

And it makes me want to gouge my eyes out

Someone literally disagreed with jesus exhortation on divorce because “ it showed an unequal power dynamic”

And i was like “thats heresy”

And got shat on by the admins

I tried my hand at vapourwave, here's what I produced after a few minutes of toying around with the editing programme. Thoughts?

What editing programme is that?

@Deleted User the high church Lutherans and Anglo-Catholics will also take you!

Where are you from?

@Daniil GIMP

It's free

Oh, that. I thought there was a special tool for that on the web

So apparently I was called a Mormon by Catholics in /r/TraditionalCatholics for believing in a new earth, a renewed creation. Explain

I don't know Catholic Eschatology, but I think it's similar to Lutheran Eschatology

To believe we just stay in heaven is pretty Gnostic and Manichaen

I got kicked out for it I think

Matter and physicality isn't evil

Orthodox and Catholics, give me an answer

Our perceptions, even if they are related to out physical organs, are still mysterious and beyond pure materialism. I don't see why, at the very least, we won't have the same perceptions or something similar.

@Mozalbete ⳩ So answer the question

@Mr. Byzantium not sure about Catholics, but I think we Lutherans have a similar Eschatology to them and we definitely believe in a New Heaven and New Earth.

This is a Catholic quote

Yeah but a Protestant argument isn't going to hold up against a Catholic

I was moreso taking a guess that they do believe in a New Heaven and Earth since I'm fairly certain that Rome and Lutherans have a similar view on this topic
