[@Theoretically-ko6lr]

Orthodoxy is the one and true church which has apostolic succession. God established only one church and promised to preserve until the end of times. Through Orthodoxy God gave us the Bible. It was Saint Athanasius who canonized the Bible and now the whole world has the word of God. Glory be to God ❤

[@tjkhan4541]

With real respect, Orthodoxy has historical and theological issues, like every denomination. Christ established His church and will preserve it, but He didn’t say He would preserve it infallibly from all error. The New Testament documents from the apostles show error entering the church in many places and ways. Athanasius is a wonderful hero of the faith, but he did not single-handedly canonize the NT. And he did not affirm icon veneration in the way the Seventh Ecumenical Council claimed and mandated for all true Christians. I don’t say any of this to attack you personally, but because information spreads so easily via the internet. Grace to you.

[@Theoretically-ko6lr]

@@tjkhan4541 to begin with, Orthodoxy is not a denomination but a pre-denomination. The whole argument falls apart right from your first sentence. God promised something but what you say its just twisting words to also support your argument which fell apart earlier. God is God so when He promises something, He does not make any discounts. He gave us the church and that church will remain intact until the end of times. Orthodoxy does not have a single error when it comes to doctrines, because if it did, it would contradict Gods promise. Since you are saying that Saint Athanasius didn’t single handedly canonized it..then can you give us the other names? Are you saying that you dont accept the 7th council? My brother, There is no salvation outside of the one and true church. Good luck interpreting the Bible, which is God brethren, by yourself. Just remember there will be the day of judgement…and then we will all go through it..Are you confident that your solo path will secure your salvation? There is a saying “the lonely sheep gets eaten by the wolf” . God bless!

[@tjkhan4541]

@@Theoretically-ko6lr I wish God’s blessings to you too, friend. Thank you for that. I do think we disagree about what God actually promised about the church. I agree with you that He always keeps His promises, but the question is the content of the specific promise. I do not accept the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I don’t mean this to give offense to you or anyone, but I think historically, it’s just very hard to argue that icon veneration was present before the sixth or seventh century. And it’s also hard to reconcile with the whole Bible’s theology. Fully agree with you on the day of judgment, and I’m sure that not all my theology is exactly what it should be, but I am 100% confident in my salvation before the Lord and status in Christ, because the good news of Christianity is not limited to one institutional church. He died in my place and gave me His righteousness to be reckoned to my account before God. I want all my Eastern Orthodox friends to know that same joy and peace. Grace to you, friend.

[@Theoretically-ko6lr]

There are plenty of verses where God instructed how to make icons. In fact some of the Apostles made the first icons. Were the Apostles wrong in that or they were less knowledgeable than us. I suggest you reading some history of the church or listen to some great Fathers of the church that explain the icon veneration based on the Bible. Also how are you 100% sure of your salvation brother, for which i wish you the best. According to Corinthians 9-27, Apostle Paul, one of the greatest preacher and Huge believers of Christ, he was still afraid of his salvation. If Paul was afraid why dont we all are?! Are we more faithful that the Apostle Paul who spread the Gospel? Didnt Jesus die for his sins also? As you see claiming that we are already saved its unbiblical and also a heretical false teaching. Orthodoxy says, we have been saved, we are being saved, and we shall be saved. Lets read Corinthians 9-27 again, and then lets compare our faith to Pauls. If he was afraid, how can we be not?

[@tjkhan4541]

@@Theoretically-ko6lr with real respect, I think that (1) you are conflating art with icons, and (2) you are accepting late historical claims as having apostolic veracity, without evidence. The first evidence for Luke being an iconographer, for example, comes from Theodorus Lector in the sixth century; it’s just not apostolic. May I ask which chapter of 1st or 2nd Corinthians you have in mind?

The early church exploded in growth because of the radical discipleship of the apostles AND the powerful miracles that followed such devotion to the Truth. The lack of power inside the church today speaks to a nearly total loss of discipleship in the church.

Where the Kremlin still has atheists within, where we can not forget what The U.S.S.R./Soviet Union did to all the faithful, where many died, any number made it to the U.S. Where I liked Putin, a judoka, fly fisherman, and assumingly Orthodox, but politics is politics, where if Buddhists, a leader may claim to be Buddhists. As Steven Seagal is something like Buddhists and said to be right there with Putin. But Putin as said is likeable, yet, he has to do and say what is expected of him. If he doesn't, someone else will. Which Ukraine is Orthodox, but the two are killing each other. Thats never made sense to me.

Way before USA managed to provoke the war in Ukraine, they also tried hard to provoke Russians from Romania. Now, as everybody knows, USA is in full ownership of our country, the president, the political left and political right were "convinced" to unite in order to gain vote majority in the govern/parliament, so that the West can have full control on votes and decisions. And in the meanwhile we are being served the cocktail of "democratic values of the West". Each American citizen should think twice before they vote, because they will impact the USA colonies of slaves from all over the world.

I was born into the Greek Orthodox Faith and thank the Lord for it. What i don’t particularly agree with all the church fathers is that somehow women take a secondary place in society. We women do most of the work regarding our families. Having children, raising them with very little help, cooking, cleaning, working outside of the home, doing backyard work and everything else that society places on our shoulders. I am lucky my husband of 44 yrs was supportive to the best of his abilities. Even our church expects women to shoulder much of the responsibility because a real man won’t listen to anyone tell him what to do. He does as he pleases. As women all we can do is pray that GOD sends us a good man.🙏🇦🇺🇬🇷 Ps we need to have open and honest discussions about our feelings and not be hipocrites.Also i like Putin he is trying his best against those who choose to de-stabilise the region for money.

"Accustom yourself to believing that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply the capacity for sensation, and death is the privation of all sentience; therefore, a correct understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life a limitless time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality. For life has no terrors for him who has thoroughly understood that there are no terrors for him in ceasing to live. Foolish, therefore, is the man who says that he fears death, not because it will pain when it comes, but because it pains in the prospect. Whatever causes no annoyance when it is present causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer" Epicurus - Letter to Menoeceus

You're praising us too much, God willing you will be insignificant one day too. Mark 10:42-45

[@sfappetrupavelandrei]

​@@leopistis3560I think he/she meant EO is small and insignificant in US. Most of the US is Catholic and Protestant.

[@Rome_77]

@@leopistis3560 I don’t think you realize how how much bigger and more widespread the Catholic Church is. Roman Catholicism (1.3 billion) is >5x the size as Eastern Orthodoxy (2-3 hundred million). The overwhelming majority of that 250 million is also counted in Russia and Eastern Europe, the Orthodox diaspora is very sparse, scrambled together, and disconnected from their mother churches. In the U.S., there are ~70 million Catholics compared to the EO churches which are together home to ~1 million. The biggest EO church is the Greek Orthodox (GOARCH) at ~400 thousand.

One thing just struck me, when it comes to Russia they were talking about how it isn't the same as it was in the USSR, it's changed and there are new generations there that never lived under that government. And it's not the same place. But in the same interview the priest is still attaching stuff that happened in 1948 to Israel today. Which is not the same place either. It was pretty easy to see where his biases are.

[@Dragblacker]

Orthodox Christians, at least the young converts I've come across, are more willing to side with Muslims than Jews/Israel on anything.

[@johnstdm1]

Lord, have mercy on us!

[@ThriftyConceit]

@@DragblackerOrthodox Christians typically don’t side with other. They are not Dispensationalists so they are not going side with the Jews who reject Christ.

[@miked8545]

I would love to hear how Israel has changed the way Russia has.

[@lindaphillips4646]

I haven't seen yet. But i am learning how what happened in 1948 still makes a huge difference in that minds of people there. I believe we know enough about Russia today to know that it has thrown off the atheism of the ussr and openly restored its historic life in the Orthodox Church.

[@andrewward5891]

Blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia is pretty out there.

[@ArminiusGroß]

It's basically false witness on his part.

[@belosevickris3379]

He didn't blame Ukraine. From what I heard he blamed the US government for stirring the conflict. He is right about that

[@KaCi1987]

He could use better worlds. That is why religion should not mix with politics
