Dear community members,

I am turning over the ideas of luck, fate and destiny in my mind and how it relates to orthodox Christianity. I don't think it does, but priests and hierarchs have used those words with me so i am perplexed. Am I being too narrow minded? Or what? I did a cursory search of the Internet and this site in regards to fate and did not find anything so I thought I would throw this line out here in case anyone else has mulled this subject over.

Regards,
Olympiada

If you believe in such things then without knowing you admit there is a higher power than God. I think Elder Cleopa said this.
