Orthodox is spiritual due to God spirit present. As a child growing up in my Orthodox church l loved all the icons, the choir service its love towards God, when l became an Altarboy my love towards God was unquenchable that made me even serve in the altar when got old to teach the young ones too. God is so beautiful if you truly let yourself be in God control cause your spirit isn't like any others cause if you ask a priest, nun, monk or any others they will tell you they also let God and Jesus steer them towards heaven. If you don't believe me try it, you might find peace too.

Papal infallibility not being a thing in the Orthodox Church means every doctrine that is developed in your church is prone to error (and most likely developed in error) because you guys don’t believe the Holy Spirit leading the clergy in charge of making these important doctrine can prevent error which technically is blasphemous.

Whoever that believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life.

Both institutions are EXCLUSIVIST to each other, despite modernizing efforts. As an orthodox Christian, I must say to you, both churches CANNOT be true at the same time due to theology, especially ecclesiology.

It is the wish of Jesus Himself that we come together, asserting tribal pride and arrogance only hinders that goal. God bless. edit: I want to say something. on my journey I prayed for a church and Christ showed me the RCC and it was only confirmed to be the right decision for me since then on multiple occasions, but I don't deny the possibility that the Holy Spirit led all you Orthodox Christians to your churches. I trust His judgment and will so we should not attempt influence or manipulate him on his journey but he should pray and trust in God to guide him.

@@kimphilby7999 I think it’s best to clarify the significance of the seat of Peter and its biblical origins. Christ established Peter’s position when He commissioned him by his renaming after Peter’s declaration. Examples: The continual singling out of Peter in scripture; with the angel at the tomb, Jesus’s undoing of his three denials and Christ commissioning him, Paul’s referencing his authority, etc… Also, the historical fact of the church going to the leading bishop on authority when the apostle John was still alive. My point, is that there is a strong biblical argument. It’s also congruent with the old covenant and a high priest; ie, Moses. Jesus references the “seat of Moses” as an authority. The pope is the vicar. He himself can personally error but the Holy Spirit protect the position when it comes to faith and morals. Example: What has been made dogmatic has never been undone in the 2000 yr history of the church; no matter who was the pope. Christ IS The Church and this includes the papacy. God bless you.

Pope Gregory VII and his successors radically transformed the Papacy in the West. The Pope had his own army and could depose kings and excommunicate entire kingdoms. Yet, the Latins claim that the Orthodox Church has an issue with Caesaropapism?! The Roman Church has changed so many teachings and practices it would take me forever to list them all. The Orthodox Church has been more faithful to apostolic tradition. Our Church doesn’t “bless” sodomy like your church. Why if I may ask are you even commenting on this Orthodox channel?

In Catholicism for example we pray to Mary to pray for us, Mary can’t remove our sin but if u think about it Mary is the mother of Jesus , so clearly Mary and god have a special relationship since Mary is the mother of Jesus , so god .. Asking Mary or saints in heaven to pray for us is just the, asking god to help us , e don’t pray to saints to do Jesus job ,w e pray saints to pray for us
@anthonybizzell385716 күн бұрын
When Jesus/God demands you pray directly to Him? He will hear you. Didn't Jesus withdraw His kinship to Mary from the cross when He said, ""Woman, here is your son". Jesus then said to the disciple, "Here is your mother," No one can intercede between you and Jesus Christ.

@@anthonybizzell3857 true , but I think that since the saints are in heaven with god asking them to pray for us is not them interceding our prayers to god , it’s just like if I ask someone to pray for me , we ofc pray to god , we just ask for the saints , so the ones who were very close and who are every close to god to also pray for us

We have the Byzantine Catholic Church that is no different than orthodoxy. But what the Catholic church has that orthodoxy doesn’t is the 6 other rites that are equally as historic and valid. Such as the eastern Syriac rite that speak the same language as Jesus.

@stevencooper32022 ай бұрын
Idols are a no no. Icons are fine. Humans themselves are an icon of God. We are made in his image. Christ is the perfect icon, the perfect image of God. Mankind are flawed icons. By uniting with Christ we become unflawed icons, though still not perfect as only God and Christ are perfect.

The Catholic Church was passed down from Christ! To Peter, then to the Popes, down through the ages. It's Christ's Church. The split between Catholism and Orthodox is truly tragic. Especially considering when the core beliefs and mediums of worship are essentially the same.
@regtaylor11634 ай бұрын
As time went by, scripture was joined by tradition. If tradition doesn't line up with scripture, what's it doing there? Icons, God said to not have graven images and to not bow down to them. We've gotten away from the ten commandments, the sabbath, Mariology, the priesthood of the believer (Mark 1615-20) Jesus passed a pure bride to us, who will he meet on his return?

@@regtaylor1163 The canon of scripture was decided upon in the late 300s, before that time there was no agreed form of the New testament that we enjoy using today. The faith and the practice of the church before that time was decided largely by oral tradition, handed down from the apostles. Tradition first, scripture later.

@@TheMOV13 The Canon was formalized in the 4th C. The canon being which books are included which ones were not. But: Like the rest of the New Testament, the four gospels were written in Greek. The Gospel of Mark probably dates from c. AD 66-70, Matthew and Luke around AD 85-90, and John AD 90-110. Letters of Paul 45-65 A.D. How could the letters of Paul be written in the third century, when he was executed mid third century? That's dumb. Also, the tradition was the writings of the church fathers, students of the apostles.
