This might sound childish....
« on: June 05, 2013, 08:44:13 PM »
But I'm becoming desperate, please pray I can firmly believe that there is a God.
That I believe im not just an animal and I have a soul, and that if it is my cross to doubt these things for a lifetime that I have the strength to carry it.

Lord have mercy on your servant.

I know this is the prayer forum, so I will just say that I understand what you are going through, I have wrestled with that a lot throughout my own life. You are in my prayers.

The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.

If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.

May The Lord show you mercy, by showing Himself to you.
