I emailed the church and the priest was so friendly I went there and had a talk with him and I've been there now every week the priest always makes sure he gets a little talk with me after church if its not to crowded and I appreciate that so much ! even tough im still just a seeker for now . i am super happy that I can go to the house of GOD .

      God Bless you. It is not difficult to be baptized as Orthodox Christian. Anyone who has been baptized as Orthodox Christian can baptize you. You just need some water and your Christian name. Of course it is always more beautiful to do it in a Church but if it is impossible it can be done anywhere. By the way, few days ago we celebrated the day when Jesus Himself was baptized by Saint John.

    After having my daughter I realized all of the propaganda I was raised with had given me an idea when I was young that motherhood was the rough, boring, tedious option in life and I'd rather do something "epic" like work for the CIA or be a trauma surgeon or a missionary overseas, but I'm realizing how epic it is to be a mother and live every day in pursuit of God's mission to raise a well rounded, grounded, faithful adult with love and protection and guidance all through their development. It's hard! But it's absolutely the most worthwhile and exciting thing ever. I'm still wondering about whether or not to do it again because of health issues but God will decide that for me. My one is SO educational and such a blessing!

I will teach the Bible along with other history, and when they're old enough allow discussions about why some people think it's literal here or there and some people think it's allegorical, and we will be involved with a church in order to fellowship but I will never encourage blind loyalty to church leadership, and I plan to study other faiths and traditions so that they understand how many other viewpoints have existed/still exist. I want their faith to be their own, and their relationship to be between them and God, and if they don't feel that faith and conviction to never need to lie to me about it.

That sounds mean, but it really repels me as a younger person to have to wrestle through the constant " uhms. God said." and 90 iq explanations of the deeper meanings behind the text.

      The only one and real Bible is Vulgata, Jerusalemic bible and other roman-chatolic bibles ( translations).
      Jesus Christ established His only one and holy apostolic church before 2000 years and that church was later called roman chatolic church. Ortodox faith is kind of denomination of old christianity. They left from roman chatolic church, started new doctrine, new church and that was not according to God' s words.
      God-Jesus established his only one church and all other are human invention. Satan and his army made and still makes good plans for making new churches, new communities, new doctrines ect.
      Jesus said that His church will not be defeated even with the doors of hell ect., and that is his only one and holy apsotolic-roman chatolic chruch. Don't be fooled by the title of ortodox....there are history facts about everything.....nice regards..

      @philomy6127 I had to stop at the mention of the vulgata bible. All scripture was originally written in Greek first. Including the Old Testament. I actually largely agree with many of your other points, but the problem is that long after St Peter, the church of Rome was busy consolidating power and went their own separate way. Even various Popes opposed the church of Rome's own direction, such as the filioque clause. Now this current Pope says and implements wildly blasphemous and heretical things in an attempt to play nice in a globalist world. If St Peter were not alive in Christ, he would certainly be rolling over in his grave at what the church of Rome became.
      Worst of all, in its path to consolidate power, the church of Rome became a government. In doing so, their Magesterium took an extremely legalistic approach to the teachings of Christ, which is the very thing that Jesus preached against.
      Thank you for your concern, but I'm sorry. I can not abide in that.

Nor is Eastern Orthodox making its priests give blessings to alphabet couples. Half the church of Rome hasn't even recognized a real pope for centuries at this point. And of course filioque, which, again, caused division in the western church. I might see some of your points if Orthodoxy didn't have a Western Rite.
