Wtf I love Christianity now

sin as a act is a act that takes you away 'from god' away from what and how you could be, sin is about disjunction, separation, from a complete functional state

the suffering is a result, sin is its own punishment

>>2994412
>Sin is destruction of God's will.

Impossible since god is omnipotent.

>According to the dictates of justice(where like begets like to restore equilibrium to a system)

This is not the dictate of justice.

>the sinner should likewise be destroyed

Except that's not what Hell is, hell is about torture for the sake of torture, it serve literally no possible purpose beyond simple sadism.

1. Christ did indeed say this, but he made it clear again and again that after being rejected by the Jews, the Gospel would come to the gentiles (Mark 12:1-9, Matthew 8:11-12). Now as to the law, the crux of this is what "fulfilling the law" means. To grasp an Orthodox understanding of the law in this verse, I suggest reading De incarnaatione, by Saint Athanasius, as well as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. "The law" here is referring to the law the world came under with the fall, that is the law of death: all that lives, must die, humans and animals, all decays and corrupts. We don't, however, see Christ as an object for God's catharsis, a person God vented his wrath on in place of us (since Christ and the Father are one in action, this would be God killing himself). Rather, satan provoked the fall because he lord of death, and the one in charge of particular judgement (though only Christ renders final judgement); we became enslaved to the devil with the fall, which God saved us from. Sacrifice of life for atonement is fundamental to the law of death. Mosaic law is but an expression of this, it is the law of an eye-for-an-eye, not the law of mercy. It is the law of the condemned, so to speak. So Christ, by dying, fulfills this law, and we, by mystically participating in his death (Romans 6:4, Galaatians 2:20) in baptism and communion, fulfill the law's demand for our death; but, Christ being God, could not die, and so while he fulfilled the law, he also destroyed it, because the death ended; we also participate in that, communing with his physical body (which is God made material). With Christ's death, heaven and earth pass away, for Christ is God Almighty. And with his Resurrection, he makes all things new, a new heaven and a new earth. At this point, following Mosaic Law is a problem: it is like trying to follow the rules for inmates after you have been liberated: following such rules no longer makes you righteous. It is in fact ignoring what Christ did.

2. The fire of Gehenna (which is not the same thing as Sheol, or Hades in Greek), is in fact God's love (I don't mean that in the sense of a human emotion, since God, in Orthodoxy, doesn't have any emotions apart from through the incarnation, we only use them as analogies, like "hand of God"). God's radiance is referred to throughout the Bible as both light and fire. This radiance is God's "energies". The purer and more perfect and more like God one is, the more this radiance is conducive to one's state; the more ungodly one is, the more this radiance is jarring, demons especially hate it. Therefore the fires of hell and the light of halos and heaven, are not ontologically different: more properly, they are different experiences based on different spiritual states. Could God make a change in spiritual state possible even after death? Of course, he's God, but that he would is something we should hope for, not take for granted.

3. Most of the contradictions of the Gospels are superficial. They are natural when you have multiple witnesses recalling something from years ago. The Church never said the Gospels can be completely reconciled in this sense: the Gospels were truly inspired, but that doesn't mean the Holy Spirit dictated them letter by letter. Saint John Chrysostom said we rather take these contradictions as evidence that the authors were not colluding or using a common written source. However, in all major issues, of doctrine and things that would not just be due to different witnesses, you'll find there is a pretty solid Patristic explanation of every one.

4. The Trinity is three distinct existences sharing one essence. In Orthodoxy, essence simply means qualities common to a class. Catholics, by contrast, being influenced by Platonism, see essence as a sort of Platonic form, and identify it with God's existence; his persons are not, to Catholics, distinct existences, but simply the essence of God relating to himself. The Orthodox do not see essence as existing on its own, but being preceeded by existence. So this questions, whether or not the Trinity is is crypto-polytheism, is a good one (since three humans also share one essence in Orthodoxy). The answer is that God is not only one in essence, but also in energies, which means things like activity and will. The Son does not have his own energies, but has only the Father's (John 5:19). Humans can of course also participate in God's energies, which is called Theosis, but they cannot participate in his essence.

the things he did made him stop feeling emotion long ago

>He could've easily deported most Germans to the Soviet Union to help rebuild what they destroyed, but he didn't.
But he did?

>>2988549
He forced Wehrmacht POWs, Nazis, and other fascists from Hungary and Romania to help rebuild the country. But regular civilians went about their regular life. In contrast, the germs planned to enslave and kill most Slavs and other Soviet nations

I'm going to assume you have some skill that would make it worthwhile to hire you over some random local person. You find companies interested in hiring you, through the same channels as you would in your own country. The company will sponsor your visa, and possibly help you to arrange accommodations in your target country. Then you buy a plane ticket and move there.

If you don't have skilled labor to offer, at best you could land temporary jobs and temporary visas.

Free will is the percept that your actions have been enacted by you i.e. it's just another word for self-awareness.

By your definition, it seems as if animals have free will, too. By free will, I mean the ability to choose between A or B with no internal or external causes affecting deciding my choice.

>>2999295
Most animals are not capable of self-awareness, but, yes, those that are possess free will.
