@@orthodoxandrewHello I’m 17 and I’ve struggled with habitual sins of the flesh for a long time, I recently came to Orthodoxy from a non-denominational/protestant background. I worry every day that through my self spiritual harm, I’ve turned from God and fear the loss of salvation, I ask myself have i even started to repent? I lost my peace and feel as though God abandoned me because my negligence, I’ve lived in hypocrisy and am too judgmental, I look myself in the mirror and say, is there any good left in you? I feel like the greatest sinner, constantly falling into pornography, masturbation, I carried a zeal for reading the Gospel now it’s gone, I was so eager to learn more, now I stopped and it’s hard trying to push myself. (Plz pray the lord will have mercy on me)

Thank you for your clarification on some the work of Saint Nektarios. I've been reading much of his work and found some of it confusing me. God be with you.

[@orthodoxandrew]

You are most welcome, I am glad you found it helpful. God is with us!

It was at 666 views. Had to change that.

[@orthodoxandrew]

Haha. Thanks for that!

[@orthodoxandrew]

I remember learning from a priest that 6 was the number of humanity, so 666 is like a human trinity. It represents people trusting in and worshiping humanity instead of God(like with the tower of Babel). Kind of interesting. Hebrew language is rich with meaning in numbers.
