Which one? “I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me. For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully… …For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭4‬, ‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭ Mark 13:22, Galatians 1:8-9

Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches did not have separate origins, but where one and the same whole Church. Differences started appearing when the Roman empire split in two, one in the East, Byzantine and one in the west, Rome. They still kept communion with each other though political tensions started with some eastern bishops disapproval of papal authority which they saw as the West trying to lord over them. These little tensions continued over the centuries until they split in 1054 AD.

Going by the biblical standard the pope is the ultimate preserver of Christ and his word, now do we believe the pope is “holy” by your definition no we do not. We do address the pope as “holy father” though but this title is in reference that he is the ultimate bishop as we also call priests father. The term “holy father” does not mean that the pope will go to heaven nor does it mean that the pope is perfect, it is only a title that associates him with God. Now going by what you imply, I assume when you say Holy you refer to a person who is perfect. And no not only God is without sin but some angels are an so is our Mother Mary

[@Spiritdoh]

There is no evidence that Jesus founded the Catholic or Orthodox church. It is likely built on a lie that has no evidence that Peter founded the church, but there is no evidence of this

[@messenger.divinelight]

​@@mandyxdijk5195catholic means universal, universal beliefs, sometimes those beliefs found in scripture and other oral truths had to be fully discussed in order to figure what these truths were, such as the Trinity. I believe it took six coucils to figure out the full understanding of the Trinity. One cannot figure out from scripture alone all the different complexities of the Trinity. So Catholics had to have councils to discuss and decipher the true meanings of what were in scripture. They appealed to reason and to the oral teachings of the Apostles. Also, whether or not you call the early Christian Jews by that name or call them Catholics they still followed the same teachings of Christ. Those who misunderstood certain aspects of the faith passed onto them appealed to higher authority in order to understand the aspect of the Christian faith, the Catholic, universal truths, these titles are synonymous in those decades. If they did not appeal to authority, that authority, the authority of Christ's Apostles and later those who followed in the same paths of the Apostles, those who did not appeal to authority, those in authority, when hearing of their dispute amongst the true teachings of the faith were corrected in their understanding of the faith. In the bible we see many letters of Paul writing to the faithful. No matter whether you call Peter by that name of Pope or Father, it became prominently known of his leadership amongst men. Christ established Him as the head of His Church, "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of the netherworld will not prevail against it, and I give to you the keys of heaven, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven". There is only one example of Christ's particular setting aside of Peter from the disciples. In building His Church, Christ expected their to be many uprisings and misunderstandings of the true faith, what is it that is necessary in order that we may become closer to God and what is that pushes further away from that goal? The true faith is a gift to us and there are many graces that Christ wished to give us to help us on our journey to heaven. Catholics call them Holy because they show respect to the popes as they receive directly from the Holy Spirit the deposit of faith. Inspirations received from the Holy Spirit are discussed among the Magisterium and prayed about to discover what the true dogmas that Christ wishes us to follow. Most of these dogmas were not recent though there have been some that are, for example: the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Also, though many of the leaders of the jewish faith of Christ's time were often wicked and self-absorbed, Christ still respected their authority and though there have been a few wicked popes in Catholic Church history, we still respect their position of authority since Christ established that we should continue that succession. "Hold fast to the traditions which have been passed down to you whether written or in oral statements of ours" St. Paul writes. There were many errors that crept into the way people understood the faith and so it was necessary to have positions of authority to be able to "hold fast" to those traditions. Last comment, no one but God alone and Mary were perfect. God in God perfection, Mary in human perfection of virtue (and if I need to prove that I can, let me know, I'm here to help you on your journey to God and if there be any error in what i am saying, show me through reason and scripture why it is that I err in my thinking). But yes only they were perfectly holy and we who are imperfect are called to perfection: "be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" and another verse "For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible". Like Mary, it is necessary that we say yes to His will always in order that we may become perfect. It is a process, everything is a process, nothing that requires a perfection in something comes easily but only for God who has always been perfected in virtue and Mary who was preserved by God from original sin. If we are to follow Christ, we must keep His commands and listen to His words that we may once again be restored by God to our original holiness, that is our original perfection of being before Adam and Eve sinned. If we obey God, we shall be saved for He has opened the gates to paradise that Adam and Eve closed by their disobedience to God and we once again are asked, shall you serve? And because Christ has opened the gates to eternal life, we can choose to say yes and our yes is our acceptance of his gift of salvation to us.

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

​@@sammygomes7381They do. The bread and wine used in the Holy Eucharist do become the Body and Blood of Christ. In a prayer that the priest reads before giving communion to himself and the deacon (and again to the people), he says "I believe, O Lord, and I confess, that Thou art truly the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who camest into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first. I believe also that THIS IS TRULY THINE OWN MOST PURE BODY AND THIS IS THINE OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD. Therefore I pray thee, have mercy on me, and forgive me all my transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in word and in deed, in knowledge and in ignorance, and vouchsafe (make worthy) me to partake without condemnation of Thy most pure Mysteries, unto the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting (eternal). Amen. Of Thy Mystical Supper, O Son of God, accept me today as a communicant. For I will not speak of Thy Mysteries to Thine enemies, neither like Judas will I give Thee a kiss, but like the thief will I confess Thee: Remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom. May the communion of Thy Holy Mysteries be unto me for judgement or unto condemnation, O Lord, but unto the healing of soul and body, and unto life everlasting (eternal). Amen." The important points of this prayer are the following. Orthodox believe that Jesus Christ came to the world to save sinners. They admit their own sinfulness and unworthiness. They believe in the Real Presence (the bread and wine are actually the Body and Blood of Christ, not mere symbols). Knowing this, they ask for forgiveness and to be granted to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ without condemnation. The Eucharist is a special moment in an Orthodox Christian's life, which he (or she) prepares for through prayer, fasting (unless excused for health reasons by the priest), and confession of one's sins. Additionally, Orthodox Christians should be reconciled to others when they approach the chalice to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord. This is especially true for the priest who will celebrate the Divine Liturgy, the deacon who will assist him, and the other readers, singers, and servers who assist in the orderly and beautiful glorification and worship of God. The word Orthodoxy comes from the Greek words orthos = right, proper and doxa = glory. Other translations have preserved this meaning, whether Православіе (право/правильно = right, слава = glory) in Russian or Dreapta credința (Drept (cf. direct) = right, cred (cf. credo, creed) = belief) in Romanian. In this context, it makes sense why the Orthodox seek after order in their divine services and in their beliefs. The Eucharist, celebrated as part of the Divine Liturgy, is one of the most important moments, if not the most important moment, in an Orthodox Christian's life. I thank God that I have had the opportunity to serve in the altar and witness this majestic act of God being performed first-hand.

no AL here If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different.

See, the bible is composed of the New and Old Testament. Why testament? Because the bottom line of the scriptures is the covenant between God and His people. And that's where 'religion' is needed. It is the institution that keeps the bond and the covenant in place. You got fooled by the devil, because if you have no religion, you have no covenant with God. You're DOOMED!

[@dan69052]

truth If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom.

Actually the differences are often bigger inside/STRAIGHT THROUGH DENOMNATIONS THAN BETWEEN THEM-between individual preachers. I am myself a deeply believing christian. I am formally a Lutheran, but I am active in different christan denominations. I choose on sundays after the invidual precacher more than after denomination. For example the Catholic vicar in our town actually preaches MORE LUTHERAN than some priests in my own formally Lutheran church. (Church of Sweden). I thiink that individual preachers in most christian denominations may have the Holy Spirit with them in sermon, while other prechers in the same denomination may not have. The denominations are far from homogenous. It can differ very much within the same denomination on the distance of only 2 tram-stops. I allways choose theologically conservative preachers (not politically but theologically) who preach the classic christian message. I think I can sometimes somewhat sense if the Holy Spirit is there or if it is not so.

We are not saved by traditions, sacraments , works, lineage, ceremony, or elaborate buildings. “We are saved by Grace through faith alone, not as the result of works lest any man should boast. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which He prepared beforehand.” The message of salvation through Christ is in the Bible. It does not require genius to comprehend it. In fact you must trust with the faith of a child as Jesus taught. Anyone who is born again has the indwelling Holy Spirit. They have the mind of Christ. They have a high priest who ever intercedes for them. Christ is totally sufficient. There is nothing we do that creates any extra dispensation of grace or favor.

Well I personally don’t believe in sola scriptura simply because of how easy it is for people to twist the words of the Bible to their own agenda. Yes, the Bible IS the ultimate authority as it is the word of God, but just because it’s the word of God doesn’t mean that you should come to your own conclusion about what it means. You need a combination of your own faith and the help of people experienced with church doctrines to properly understand the Bible. By saying you should interpret the Bible on your own you are basically saying you have more authority over thousands of years of teachings by theologians and people way more well versed in concepts such as theosis and how to properly carry out the sacraments. The church is very much so needed still. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe going to a Protestant church is wrong as I think as long as you go to a truly Christian church then you are fine. I just don’t believe that you should just avoid church because you think the Bible is all you need.

@@memesouls8653 and I agree with you! Sola Scriptura isn’t about you and your own interpretation, because the Bible is so complicated, we need the church to decide dogma and teachings.

The Catholic church changed the trinity by introducing the filioque. Most protestants would not know that instead of believing In the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the catholic church has changed the trinity by saying In the name of the Father, Son and OF the holy spirit. That addition of the word OF changes the trinity. Also the Orthodox church has nine Patriarchates or Popes if you wish. The reason being that not one Patriarch is infallible. The pope was the one who left the other patriarchates to go to rome and establish the church there. Before that happened he was like a CEO of a board of directors and all matters had to be voted on by all the bishops of the patriarchates. He chose to leave and make himself unaccountable to no-one. In the Orthodox faith our priests can marry, but inly before they are ordained. After ordination they must remain celibate. The Protestant churches have no divine liturgy, no priesthood, many don’t receive eucharist. They are so far removed from the original church that they have no idea how a church should be. Protestants may be able to quote the bible from memory but they lack any real spiritual connection. The only way all the christian denominations can become one again is if they return to the original Orthodox and Apostolic church. For me right now it’s NO to ecumenism.

We should first focus on the bible alone. You are saved from believing in Jesus Christ as your only savior and by repenting your sins. You DO NOT need to pay the church or do any wordly things to come in to heaven, according to the bible. God says in the bible these things can be beneficial and sin leads to bad things, but they are not needed for salvation. I do not say don't go to church, it helps you to grow in your faith to go to the church, but also live your life like the bible (god) tells you, not what a men tells you. Even Jesus said love your church but also test their faith by comparing their actions with what the bible says.

The problem with making this a 3-way argument is that when you say Protestant, you're talking about thousands of denominations and hundreds of thousands of independent churches that are connected to nothing and have their own hodgepodge of beliefs.

The one Holy catholic (not roman) and Apostolic Church it is still the Orthodox Church and the 4 ancient patriarchates are still united today with additions to Russia, Bulgaria, and Romania, and the Serbian Patriarchates. I do not understand why the Roman Catholics drop the word Roman from Roman Catholicism? as this is the name that they took after the Schism of 1054 AD are they ignorant or they doing it on purpose to force their falsehood on uneducated people and make them accept the heresies and Roman inventions.

There are 23 different rites in the Catholic Church, Rome being one of them. All, however, submit to the Pope of Rome. The term “Roman Catholic Church” can be misleading (it was originally created by Anglicans, not Catholics) because in English-speaking countries it is commonly used to denote the entire Catholic Church-which ignores all the other particular churches that have their own rites and traditions. As a footnote, most Ministers in the Anglican Church are called 'vicars'. Linguistically this means the same as it does in Rome - it's someone standing in place of Christ as a deputy (not claiming to be Christ).
