Converting from Baptist to Orthodox

This is a concept foreign to me.
Do you believe John the Forerunner was born without original sin as well?

I made up this term. Being born unto glory might be better one.
Original sin is lack of grace. But about John the Baptist it is said "he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb". So he was not born with orgianl sin. That is not to said that he was convied without it though. For he was graced during visitation.

nah.

Post it, I've been doing a lot of research lately on the modernization of protestant churches.

Is original sin lack of all grace, or only a deficiency of grace?

says the dude with the Vatican II church

generally, the Orthodoxy you read about online will be consistent with what you experience in person. Roman catholic mass can be all over the place depending on the whims of reform or liturgical paganism (particularly hispanic) influence on the parish. The fact that cathbros here have to say "just go to a latin mass church", which are a small minority of them, is an indictment in and of itself for the state of the Roman church in the USA.

Meaning what?

The Eastern Orhodox up to 3 divorces/remarriages, contraception and at one point there were churches which allowed abortions. There's no unity in the teachings in the EO Church, you have no central authority.

As someone from Eastern Europe, I witness this every day. It's really a major problem.

Oof.

What else can be said?

I hope God has you in his hands wherever you go.

I'm not Roman Catholic either. I'm extreme high church Lutheran. I've just read a lot on the EO. I took a serious look at both churches fairly recently.

What's the practical difference between a divorce and annulment and contraception and NFP (as far as intent goes)?
