One of my greatest disappointments when joining orthodoxy two years ago was the morals were definitely lower amongst the society than I was used to in my former religion. . I knew the religion was true but the standards of marriage and dating were embarrassing. Most people had no idea premarital relations were even wrong. One woman even told me that I was prudish and judgmental to teach chastity to my kids . Another told me she only has relations with her boyfriend on non fast days. I almost left the religion over it. But now I have to put my head down and endure for truth. I wondered how the true religion of orthodoxy could produce people that were so strict with tradition but not these huge morals . Thank you for addressing this issue for me at least. I don’t want to lose my soul over being judgmental about it either. It is the true faith still.

I try not to listen to other parishioners when it comes to specifics on things like this. I always try to talk to my priest/spiritual father for instruction on things like this, to make sure I’m getting more correct instruction as it pertains to my own situation. Some people may just go to church because that’s what everyone in their family did, and never go to confession or recieve spiritual counsel from their priest…leaving them with a moral attitude that may be lacking or guided by their own opinions… while others are quite the opposite. It is just much more risky to take advice on what we should personally be doing, from other laypeople (or listen to opinions from them on the moral choices we make).

The Soul must be awoken before it's claimed. To awaken the Soul you must withdraw from the noise of the word, with its shams and lies. Once awoken, the Soul consumes the host consciousness and the two become one. I and the father are one, means this exactly.

I did grow up (30s and early 2000s) hearing not have sex before marriage, and as a young woman I believed that I would never find a man that would be willing to wait 😢

Dr. forgive me, I’m in a horrible divorce. Should I be trying to save my kids with all the terrible, but true things my wife has done? Should I be trying to do whatever I can to buy her out of the house to raise my kids? Or should I just walk away and worship Christ; willing to lose them to save my soul? A great deal of my situation stems from converting to Orthodox. My situation seems contradictory to commandments since the outcome would be a wealthier position, but I could stably raise my kids in the church (who are not baptized). Many dark forces are at work against me with my wife. (I will spare details to preserve others of these sins) thank you for your lecture this evening. Many blessings. Truly He is Risen!
