How Wrong Relationships Could Cost You Your Salvation | An Orthodox Christian Perspective

Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary

Spiritual health sometimes requires the painful separation from relationships that pull us away from God. Like a gangrenous limb that must be removed, harmful influences may need to be cut off to protect our spiritual lives. At the same time, we need a good Christian community because the people around us shape our spiritual growth, encourage us, and show us that living according to Christ’s commandments is possible. Ultimately, who we choose to surround ourselves with can either strengthen our relationship with God or hinder it.

It’s hard when it’s your parents 😢

Great question posed, and as a result, a wonderful answer given, which is both needed and spiritually beneficial for the contemporary Orthodox Christian.

I work in a secular job, people always gossip and I don’t know how to react. For them is something normal. I don’t know how to behave to them in this case. Difficult.

I have to end my four year relationship because of this truth. My priest is trying so hard to help me and encourage me.

But I can't do it.

I am praying and begging God to change my heart so I can walk away.

Please pray for me.

I know a good few people, only one of them happen to be orthodox, and coincidentally they seem to only be edifying in our conversations

God once said in the Bible do Not fratnize with an unyoked egg. Relationships are supposed to be about compatibility. Your supposed to be Equally yoked with your partner. Not UN equally yoked. What part of that was not clear in English. Opposites Don't attract.
Regardless of what anyone says Don't ever let anyone tell you other wize.

Someone tell me how can I Stay praying and adoring and constantly talking to God? I can only go several weeks doing that and I literally need a month break after several weeks of that. Its like I just burnout. How do I get a hold of that and not let go? Im a new Christian, does this just need tome to grow? Should I be worried or no?
