Orthodox follow the apostles in everything they do, the whole point is to have continuity with Judaism. You clearly don’t know anything about your religion or the reasons for things. I suggest doing a google search before you chat my friend
At this point our roots are as much Christianity as they are pagan. Majority of modern European culture is based on Christiaintiy. Gothic architecture , renaissance biblical paintings and sculptures, classical music which was often music used in mass. Bach composed music for churches, Mozart the greatest musician ever was deeply religious and incorporated many Christian themes in his work. Majority of philosophers and writers pre Nietzsche wrote from a Christian morality perspective, and major literary works like divine comedy, and paradise lost are heavily based on the Bible. Pagan worship works when Europe was separated into tribes and they each had their own form of worship. In the modern globalist world you need a universal belief that all Europeans could believe and united in. if not Islam, atheism, Indians and Jews will wipe Europe.
They contradict the Bible. Do you believe the Bible is the word of God?
Tut tut tut
No the word of god is Jesus as is stated in John 1-14
So it’s possible the Bible isn’t infallible?
The bible has inaccuracies for it was written by mortal men. But BUT its message is clear and concice throughout, this is not a contradiction btw it just shows that humans are human NOT GOD and the bible is a collection of manuscripts put into book format by various authors backed up by thousands of people in the past where the church finally compiled them and canonised the scriptures that were congruent with one another and sensible whislt rejecting heretical nonsensical recruiters such as the Book of Barnabas which was made in malicious infent
We are all equal in the eyes of the Lord none is superior to the other. You are as good as me and I as good as you brotherUsed to be me before, I'm on a break
I'm Protestant btw
Don’t get sucked into sectarianism. All I ask is that you do your reasarch and decide for yourself which sect is best for you. I have been Protestant somewhat a mix between Pentecostal and oriental orthodox (Ethiopian tewedo branch). So I myself was once confused but once you do research you’ll realise EO is the only truth.
I'm not a part of any of the divisions of Protestantism (sects as you call them). I'm just Sola Scriptura which all Protestants are
All denominations of Christianity are valid. The core of all sects is and should be only Jesus, that’s where CHRISTianity comes from. The difference between sects is minor and has more to do with the individual cultures that practise a form of Christianity that still respects their moors and traditions. Orthodoxy in the East. Catholicism in the west. I do think many of the Protestant reforms are good but should be integrated with the Catholic Church instead, but none are heretical or evil, and only keep pagan traditions which are aligned with Christianity. Aristotle and Plato were pagans but were very close the bibles teachings. And some writers like Aquinas and Dante have said they might have been saved when Jesus went down to gehenna
To an extent that’s true. As long as you follow Christ and accept him as god along with the father and Holy Spirit in ONE BEING then YOU are Christian that’s true.
Mormonism and Jehova witness are heretical though, and are not viewed as Christianity in comparison to Catholicism and Protestantism. I don’t want to go into a Catholicism vs Orthodox debate but both of these follow what they believe to be Jesus intentions and the intentions of God in the Bible. The Catholic Church claiming, and on good grounds, to be founded by Peter himself who was given that role by Jesus. In comparison to heretical sects like who Mormonism make up and follow teachings unrelated to the Bible or passed down traditions. True worship of Catholicism and Orthodoxy will not lead to incorrect worship, and both are well within the bounds of true reverence for Jesus, and not some weird new age interpretation. I will say though that in the modern world Orthodox Christians are more devoted than Catholic or Protestant Christians, but this is due to the climate which they reside in than something Inherent in Orthodoxy.
I respect Muslims but I cannot respect Islam. But thanks for your kind word brother, know I do not hate you, I love you and would protect any Muslim I see if they were in danger I jsut don’t support your faith unfortunately. But as we are humans and still live I pray the Holy Spirit guides you to the right path and I agree with your sentiment regarding the state of this Godless world
I'm a born Lutheran currently looking into cath and othrodoxy -- Tell me everything that's wrong with Both Catholic & Lutheran
That was before the schism and before the Catholic Church decided to become corrupted to fit European politics where they added nonsense like the Filioque and other shit like the pope being infallible. Protestantism rebelled against this and rightfully so but these idiots created their own form instead of stepping back to orthodoxy lol.
not to sound rude but the apostles the founders of our church wouldn’t recognise Protestants and catholics but they would recognise orthodoxy both oriental and Eastern for we have kept to the roots of the religion
Too long to write about as you have asked a Loooooot of shit but you can check out Kyle he’s a great YouTuber he used to be Catholic and he turned orthodox so he has great exp with both he also has a video debunking Protestantism his arguments are sound and thanks to him I took the step into orthodoxy
Normal heresies are arianism and Nestorians, which deny and disagree with core parts of the bible that the main sects don't agree with, JW belongs here, Mormonism is basically another religion and goes past heretical.That was before the schism and before the Catholic Church decided to become corrupted to fit European politics where they added nonsense like the Filioque and other shit like the pope being infallible.

Mormons and JW are heretics through and through hence why I said they are the two poster children for heretical. There’s a slider, there’s somewhat heretical which is where catholics and Protestants are and then there’s full blown heresy like JW and Mormons.
You Protestants and Catholics don’t even follow continuity with the bible brooo come on

Come on man it’s not hard to accept that your sect is a fucking meme brah
No nigga. Christianity does not have almost identical values to Islam. For one, Christianity makes sure to emphasize that heaven is not a hedonistic feast. It is not a sex orgy like it is in Islam!!
Yeah no shit? Who said I’m perfect, my biggest sin is my pride I openly admit this it’s a crucial flow even more than my Insatiable Lust. My ego is huge and I’m working on lowering it
I wasn’t attacking, I have the same problem. I think the sin most people have stems from envy tbh wether it be looks, money, house, lifestyle, ect.
