[@MNN1991]

⁠​⁠@@meina0614not really true. Qnome would be more referring to the concrete reality but even that might be a bad translation. That’s the issue with each language having its own definitions. Nature is kyana and persopa is person. They would say Christ has two kyane ( natures) two qnome ( realities both human and divine) and one persopa ( person). This isn’t something that was made up by the church of the east. Similar line of thinking has existed since the very beginning in the antiochian school where many theologians of the church of the east came from or drew inspiration from. This is in fact in line with the chalcedonian view hence why the churn of the east accepted the teachings of Chalcedon when it came to the nature of Christ 1500 years ago.

5:42 how can one nature have two essences, if nature and essence are synonyms (they both refer to "ousia" in greek)?

[@catfinity8799]

Ousia in Greek means essence. Physis means nature. Hypostasis means subsistence. Prosopon in means person. Chalcedonians usually use physis/nature to mean the same thing as ousia/essence, but Orientals use physis/nature in two different ways. When speaking of the Trinity, they mean the same thing as ousia, but when speaking of Christ, they use it the same way as hypostasis.

[@catfinity8799]

Another thing you should know is that although orthodox Christians usually use hypostasis and person interchangeably, Nestorians say that a person, rather than being a hypostasis with certain qualities (like rationality), is another category. They say that there are two hypostases or subsistences in the one person of Christ, which are united only on the level of person. The idea that Nestorians teach two persons is a caricature, and it has led to some people holding to Nestorianism because they think that they've avoided it by believing in only one person of Christ. This caricature is why people don't see the Assyrian Church of the East as Nestorian, even though this is what they teach.

[@bigchungus1920]

That just sounds like larpers. Jews like all other humans are born with sin and need Christ to be saved. I know many Jews that accept Christ including the earliest apostles (well I don’t ‘know’ them per say but still) Nothing wrong if Christianity is a ‘Jewish faith’ anyways. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Pacific Ocean red strawberry faith. What matters is what Christianity is about and that’s Jesus Christ.

[@socialmediaaccount4206]

This video touches on something I think we can all agree is a bit aggravating, or confusing (for a lack of better words) in the Christian belief. Probably the only pet peeve I have with ‘denominations’ and ‘differences in sacrament.’ Right off the bat in this video we’re talking about one denomination understating Jesus has 2 natures; one fully divine and one fully human, and the other understanding Jesus to possess only 1 nature, both 100% divine and 100% human. These type of… disagreements, appear everywhere across Christian denominations. As an exaggerated example, Mormonism believes the holy trinity is three separate divine beings, all under god’s authority… they still believe Jesus is ultimately THE god, and god the father is ultimately THE god as well, and the Holy Spirit… as a Christian who understands the trinity, it just looks like they all rearrange few ideas, and still give the same amount of glory to each figure of the trinity as every other denomination. Because they’re all still god. I can say this for every other denomination, (again, from MY understanding) which are just very small plays on words/ideas that all mean and give god the same thing. Our obedience and glory. In these separate denominations it is not like there is a change in scripture… (Or perhaps it is a difference in fundamental interpretation, which could begin with the small change?) Regardless, to me these examples included in the video and the one I included all glorify god, and understand Jesus as god, and understand the Holy Spirit as god/apart of god, and god the father as the same. That’s all that matters. Wether you say Jesus is 100% divine and human, or 100% divine and 100% human. I’d actually really appreciate it if one of you Christian scholars could explain to me; how these small differences in denominations… really make a difference (for a lack of better words) in the ultimate end goal which is to glorify God. But it sounds just as importantly; to understand Him. Which evidently may be impossible. Joking, but looking at all the different faiths. I admire that we try. Perhaps knowing where to pray to and how to interpret scripture is the goal of all this. But I just believe in Jesus as god, and god the father, as god, and their holy spirit as present in which I can talk through to/with the divine. To save me frustration and worry; if this is all a really specific side of Christianity (differentiating denominations and such) that I shouldn’t worry about it, and it’s more of a thing for scholars/nerds (I mean that in the most respectful way possible) of the Christian faith) thank you whenever reads all this and god bless the rest of your day. Even if this comment can make you feel less alone in your beleif, or if you’re excited to teach me, a novice the truth. Edit: [interpretation] Whichever one Jesus started (I believe it is catholic/orthodox) should just be the one to follow in my opinion. The further we stray from tradition, the more corrupted the beliefs become. Just like Adam and Eve and their children.

[@aLadNamedNathan]

This is not an experience everyone has had, I guess, but I have. Have you ever heard someone say something about you--especially if they say it with absolute confidence--and they're completely wrong? Even if it's not anything bad about you, but it's simply not true about you? That can make you feel really bad about yourself--or them--or both. Now I know God is not petty like we humans can so often be, but it's still kind of the same thing--especially when God had given us the Bible to tell us about Himself. This is why heresy is so bad, even if the people promoting heresies think they're telling the truth. As for Mormonism, I think there's a couple things you're missing. First, the Bible is VERY insistent that there is only one God. Mormonism's trinity is three gods. Secondly, God is immutable (Malachi 3:6). Mormons, however, believe that God was once a man like us, but who became a god. Therefore, we too can become gods if we do everything right. When you take these two ideas and put them together, you get the doctrine that there is a huge number of gods, each ruling his own planet. This expansion of the number of gods goes back infinitely because Mormons believe matter has always existed, and the gods just fashion this pre-existent matter into new planets for new gods to rule over. Mormons will not admit this to you, but there's a way for you to check it out. Mormons believe that there was once a conference of the gods on a star or planet called Kolob. Research Kolob, and you'll find that I'm telling you the truth.

Physis as a term can be used to refer to either hypostasis or ousia depending on the context, although its usually used for hypostasis.

If you read St. Cyril’s third anathema (make sure you look at the Greek), which was read and made dogma at Ephesus I, Cyril equates Hypostasis and physis.

@@michaelg4919 you’re grossly incorrect in this conclusion.

If in the third anathema you have a hypostatic union according to nature (physis), and Chalcedon states that Christ performs IN TWO natures, Chalcedon is dividing Christ and falls under the Ecumenical judgement of the third anathema (not to mention the rest of Ephesus I).

Oriental Orthodox includes Egyptian, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Armenian. The Indian Orthodox was established by the Apostle Thomas.

[@danshakuimo]

The churches established by St. Thomas are actually divided among a bunch of different denominations now. They were originally part of the Church of the East, but as the CoE declined, they were kind of left on their own. The Portuguese eventually showed up in India (as they have basically everywhere during the age of Exploration) and tried to unite them with the RCC. Some of the St. Thomas Christians adopted the Western Syrian rite and joined with the Oriental Orthodox, others joined with the Catholics, while others remained with the Church of the East. Others became Protestant. However, it gets even more complicated than that at least according to the Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Thomas_Christians

[@Procopius464]

@@danshakuimo Yea the Portugues were looking for the realm of Prester John. They actually believed in "the book of marvels and travels" by Sir John Mandeville. I think the presence of Protestants and Catholics in India was mainly brought by the English. Most of the Orthodox people are Keralites.

[@danshakuimo]

@@Procopius464 The Protestants were due to the British but I'm pretty sure most of the Catholics were due to the Portuguese. The famous Coonan Cross Oath was sworn by the Indians who refused to become Catholic and this happened under Portuguese pressure. I think these guys were the ones that became Oriental Orthodox. I think at this point Portugal already found Ethiopia and thought it was Prester John's kingdom though.

[@Procopius464]

@@danshakuimo Well, the Portugues had a big influence in Goa, and you still have people there who are a result of Portugues and Indian marriages. But, as weird as it may seem, Anglo-Indians are also generally Roman Catholic. I don't know why that is, but I have never met one who was not. I think it might have something to do with the Catholic English men stationed in India being less able to bring wives for themselves from the homeland, but that's just my speculation.

I think you'd find a very different character from oriental orthodox if you meet let's say Ethiopian orthodox. I wouldn't say they're awful but there's a long history of them persecuting protestant Christians and both sects of Christianity are basically enemies to eachother its disappointing. I might try to appreciate their doctrine But generally, character wise I wouldn't call them humble or kind. They're usually very aggressive.

@@BasedOrthodox007 The first person called as pope was Victor I in 189-199 Pope Victor I (died 199) was a Roman African prelate of the Catholic =Apostolic Orthodox-Missionary,Ecumenical Church who served as Bishop of Rome in the late second century. The dates of his tenure are uncertain, but one source states he became pope in 189 and gives the year of his death as 199.[ He was born in the Roman Province of Africa-probably in Leptis Magna (or Tripolitania). He was later considered a saint. His feast day is celebrated on 28 July as "St Victor I, Pope and Martyr". He was of Berber origin.

Wong, is in the pockets of a rich girls family, and is allowing her to disrespect the Catholic faith and Christians as a whole, and threaten students who practice their faith. There are more incidents of this occurring in the school, I am asking everyone to contact their local Catholic priest and Bishop and spread the word of this corrupt school, and pray for the students and non-corrupt school officials.

[@TheOrthodoxClown]

As an Orthodox person I love my Oriental Orthodox brothers and I feel as though the Eastern Orthodox church and the Oriental Orthodox Church will become one Church by the end of this century. We've already had three official dialogues a bunch of unofficial dialogues. Basically every person on both sides wants us to be a one church again it's just some of the higher-ups still feel like there's a very big difference between our two definitions of Jesus Christ and the fact that if we accept the uncal sidonians we would have to put away the amantha that happened during some of the councils which would be basically saying that the council is wrong which they can't be wrong because they were divined we inspired so there's a lot in the way but a lot has been done to build the bridge between Orthodox and non-california churches. And yes I'm going to use that because that's what they officially call themselves during our dialogues

[@DavidelCientificoLoco]

Did you know that pope Francis is trying to unify the Catholic church with the eastern Orthodox church? Maybe us Catholic and our Eastern and Orthodox brothers and sisters are ganna be reunified if God wills God bless you brother or sister in Christ and may have a blessed day 🙏🙏🙏🇻🇦🫶☦️

I have nothing but respect for the Oriental Orthodox. They are all that's left of most of the original indigenous Middle Eastern cultures. The rest were just turned into rootless Arabs, who aren't actually real Arabs, but think they are because the actual Arabs destroyed their original cultural identities. The cultural identities and practices that go along with OO are both a great strength and (possible) weakness. I say it's a strength, because they have strong communities and mostly do not change their practices. They are less vulnerable to external pressures. I say it's a bit of a weakness, because if you are a complete outsider you have to also try to assimilate into their culture, or at least share in it. Not everyone will be able to do that.

[@arxiadelam204]

you are not oriental orthodox because that is such a small denomination that on practice only exists in Armenia, Ethiopia and Egypt, a westerner claiming to be one is 99% chance of being just professional LARPing

[@aLadNamedNathan]

That's not true. I'm Eastern Orthodox, but since there are no Oriental Orthodox churches near where I live, the Oriental Orthodox people who live near me attend my church. There are Copts, Eritreans, and Malankarans who attend my church. However, there was one woman who actually converted from OO to EO in my church. She did not belong to any of the ethnic groups that are traditionally OO. She was a redhead--and a redhead from northwestern European heritage--not an Arab redhead. (Yes, redheaded Arabs do exist, if you didn't know it.) She had converted to the Coptic Church while she was living in California. While there probably aren't a huge number of Westerners who've converted to the OO Church, they certainly do exist.

[@raUser9982]

[@kidus_1010]

Then you clearly don’t understand what we believe. We wholeheartedly confess that He became what we are to redeem what we are. I encourage you not to speak from ignorance but instead to ask questions.

[@MinaDKSBMSB]

This belief in Jesus becoming what we are to redeem what we are is the main point of a writing by a Coptic Pope…On the Incarnation by Pope St. Athanasius the Apostolic of Alexandria. I encourage you to read it alongside the council of Ephesus I and St. Cyril’s letters to get a better understanding. It would help protect you from making faulty comments such as this. God bless.

How can a person's nature be so independent from essence? If you affect the essence you are changing the nature. Jesus having a divine nature means he cannot have a nature identical to our own, and talking about essence doesn't solve that. Ergo, Jesus's nature was truly human, but not identical with God that Father, YHWH.
