19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1 Corinthians 6:19

8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:8

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

One step at a time. The eternal peace and given grace by God in your everyday life is more important.

>Are you religious?
Yes. Used to be atheist, then agnostic, then I fell to pieces and found God.
>What religion do you adhere to, why?
Christian. Leaning towards Orthodox, but not sure yet. They seem less heretical than Catholics and definitely Protestants, but non-denom works for me right now too.
>How did you discover it?
Life was going nowhere, I was a neet for years, I hated myself and everything around me, then my health started going to shit with anxiety and depression. A smart man once had recomended me to read through the gospels about Jesus. I did it twice. The one day I just woke up, cried a lot, prayed and since then I have transformed so much that I can hardly believe myself how much of a better, happier person I have become since I devoted my life to God.
>What are some books you'd recommend to someone interested in it?
The Bible, obviously. There are charts going around the boards with quality lit. I haven't read much, but I do my best. I have C.S Lewis books on hand and started reading Path to Salvation by St. Theophan the Recluse. I also have Saying of Desert Fathers somewhere, must read that too...
