As for living in a house with heretics... Many Orthodox have non-Orthodox college roommates, housemates, etc. I lived with 7 other people once in a house in DC. They partied (admitedly, I was known to party with them from time to time), as well as had their girlfriends/boyfriends spending the night, & I know that the guy across the hall from me smoked a lot of pot. However, as long as they didn't infringe on my religion it was fine. They all knew I went to church Saturday & Sunday, and had all seen the icons in my room. It's all in how well you know yourself. If you can trust yourself to keep an Orthodox mentality & lifestyle amoung those people, you should be okay. If not, I suggest you consult a priest.

Thank you all for taking your time to write.

Well it seems my godfather went and told the Bishop that I'm leaving the Church so its kinda odd what is happening atm to be honest. I'm not really sure what I ought to do as my godfather and the Bishop are close friends since many years, so maybe I can count my days before being excommunicated.

And this cause I had the thought of going to do this and right now I'm living alone in my own apartment.

To be honest I dont know what happened but what happens happens I guess.

What do you mean "leaving the Church"? You never said anything about this in your original post?

Well its not what I am doing more what my godfather says I'm doing if I go and live with "sinners and heretics" etc but I leave that to be his opinion. To much politic and to little truth and I'm just tired of his ideas now so I'm going to withdraw from him.

Dear in Christ, Petros,
If you only knew how many souls are lost because they fail to follow this simple advice in the Scriptures:
"Fråga din fader, han skall förkunna dig det, dina äldste, de skola säga dig det." (Deuteronomy 32:7b)
