St. Jude's Dauntless Orthodox Christian - All Hot Topic Discussions
Take action, and know that the righteous may stumble several times, but gets back up.
Have you truly made an effort to rid yourself from sins that are within your control? If not, repent! For the kingdom of God is at hand (Mk 1:15). But know that even if you fall to sins of weakness, do not stay in despair (for that is what the devil wants), but confess and repent away from the sin as soon as possible, knowing it is sin. Yes, it is hard. Yes, temptation can feel impossible at times to overcome. But don’t give up, because we have the Truth, and through Him all are overcomed. So, what actions are you gonna take to truly overcome the temptations, distractions, confusion, or whatever’s taking you away from God?

What Jesus’s disciples did when He was arrested.
I find it both crazy and relatable that when the soldiers came to take Jesus away, His disciples FLED (Mark 14:50). These are the same people who were with Jesus at the start of His ministry, the same people who witnessed healings, Jesus walking on water, raising of the dead, and yet… yet despite all those miracles, they still fled. They left Jesus to be taken, knowing full well Jesus is the Son of Man, that is, God. Isn’t that crazy? His closest followers and those Jesus called His friends… and yet. However I still find it so relatable. Because it is in those hard moments in life that truly shows a person’s heart, not the easy times. Anyone can be cool and good and holy in the easy times, but when the time comes to sacrifice, when your life gets put on the line. That is when your true intentions come out. So when Jesus got arrested, His disciples scatter. It really goes to show how even the faithful at a time of hardship and fear of the world may not react in a way that’s expected. So what do you think of this passage, would you have done the same thing? And if there’s anything else I’m forgetting to mention lemme know! Honor and glory to God of all.

Matthew 15:25-27
“Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ But He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.’ And she said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.’ “
I was reading The Word when I came across this. What did Jesus mean when He said “it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs?” And I’m also a bit puzzled about the woman’s response about the little dogs eating the crumbs that fall from the master’s table. Who/what are the children, the bread, the dogs, and the crumbs?

How often do you listen to Ave Maria (Latin for Hail Mary)
Ave Maria is a traditional Roman Catholic prayer honoring the Virgin May.
"Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen."
Ave Maria in Latin:
"Ave María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus.
Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Amen."

This is a real hot topic discussion.
So here’s my question, and disclaimer, this is highly debated. Is the Orthodox Bible the actual “Bible” with all the books? If it is, then what about the Catholic Bible, did their Bible take away books from the “original” Bible? And even then, what about the Protestant Bibles? Did they take even more stuff outta the Catholic Bible? And if so, are some people missing out on the “full” gospel? This is a confusing topic, and there might not be an answer, but I’ve been wondering about this in my free time. So, any thoughts?
