    The Greek/Serbian/Russian part just means what particular jurisdiction that you fall under, which typically is divided by where people are from. Otherwise, all Canonical Eastern Orthodox Churches the same. Right now, in the United States, all of the immigrant churches still follow the jurisdiction of their old country. There are councils ongoing now to set up a new American Patriarchate with its own jurisdiction.

    From Pentecost the apostles/disciples of Christ spread the Holy Faith into all lands. St. Paul's churches are called "Greek" Orthodox dating from his times. "Orthodox" Christian was the name for those believing in the Divinity of Christ from 1st Council (325 ad): Protestant use Orthodox New Testament, although without proper commentaries from the successors to Apostles (use Chrysostom, St. Irenaios of Lyon (from Apostles John), Ignatios' epistles...many letters available to us.

    Hello to all orthodox brothers. I somehow miss the point of this prefix''Greek''. I'm from another orthodox country, but I never put my nationality in front of my religious commitment. Does it mean we have as many orthodox faiths as we have orthodox churchES? I think it is very wrong to separate faith, even in this, harmless way.

    This video provides the several western theories of Christian atonement/redemption and compares them to Orthodox/ancient church view. Father Papageorgiou has a parish in Marietta, Georgia, USA, near Atlanta. He is originally from Cyprus and has a PhD in Chemistry (or other science discipline) in addition to his religious studies.
    This might appear a dry subject, but it is the heart of Orthodoxy. It is the 'end game' of being a Christian in the Orthodox view. Hang in for the first 8 minutes.

      @heatherstub 7 років тому +3

      Indeed! This is one thing that separates us from Rome. The Faith cannot be dogmatized, and even the Patriarch is first among equals, not first over equals. Our Bishops oversee the operation of the church, and if a heracy should arise, it is quickly dealt with. In one case, during the 13th century, the church nearly united with Rome, but the people were so against it that riots started. The Bishops saw that their decision to unite was wrong, and they reversed their decision to unite. We cannot follow someone who claims to be the vicker of Christ and who is considered to be infalible as the Pope considers himself to be. St. Paul warned the church not to follow such a man, yet nearly 2 billion people still do. If we unite with Rome, it'll be a disaster.

      +David Marino The Orthodox MAY Have similar things as Roman Catholics however we see them VERY differently. It depends on who you talk with as to whether or not they accept RC as a valid church or not. There is no reason to reunite, unless the RC reunite with Orthodoxy and renounce their heresies (which are MANY). Union for union sake is not a good thing. Union for truth, and that is the only reason.

    also Jesus said, you shall have no hierarkies amongst you He said also that you shall not kall anyone father, rabbi, or teasher, true Believers do not to referr to pastor as father , so why are you of the orthodox, doing this.
    whats the differense between you and the katholiks I see none,
    when you disobey the most basik tennets of the Bible and then get nasty to those who quote the bible, how kan you say you are followers of Jesus,
    i dont see how you kannot see the errors of your religion. a simple reading of the Bible would show you your errors if you even wanted to really look into the word. and find out the truth,
    Jesus said Iam the way and the truth and the life, no man komes unto the Father but by Me. when the popes say they are holy father, when the word says not to kall any man this. why you say father and go along with the patriarshes and the traditions set up by men. they are blasphemers, but how are your priests different.
    how are you any different, when the Russian orthodox priests went to the kommunist government against the true bible believers when they were sharing the true gospel to the orthodox and winning them to the truth, during the soviet times, if they had really been in the truth, and following Jesus, this would not have needed to happen. then they would have worked along with, and exepted other believers as brothers and then members would not have left to begin with.

    I believe in the Bible as the only rule of faith and morals not the kounsils of men, who are not always in agreement with eash other. I'am a true bornagain Believer Jesus said unless a man is bornagaian he kannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, He said this to a pharassi who was going by the tradtions of the fathers and by the old law, that is now finished in Jesus,
    so all this about the numbers of people who adhere to the orthodox religion means nothing, we have people of all ethnik origins as members of the true bornagain faith that Jesus first brought, the rthodox religion does not save adherewanse to the tradtions of men kannot save you, traditions don't save, faith alone in Jesus alone saves aside from tradtions and rituals and man made rules and regulations. ikons and reliks are nothing. it is idolitry, the Bible says faith being the essense of things NOT SEEN.
    All the apostles, disiples and other followers of Jesus were, and are, Holy Spirit filled believers. they dodn't go along with the traditions of men, and thats why the Jews hated them, and still do, they taught that all is fulfiled in Jesus He died on the kross takes away the sins of the world. we are made free from sin, by faith in Him, through repentanse, unto faith, our sins are taken away and nailed to the kross we bare them no more while in this life we are made pure and klean from sin,
    and made ready for Heaven, all those of whatever nation are the people of God by the new birth, that Jesus brought at pentakost.
    and just for a little trivia there are about 238,,0000 00 bible believers in this world, based on states, that doesn't inklude the numbers of unregistered believers in plases where they are persekuted and kannot be registered. so our numbers are far more and growing, not that numbers matter but, you orthodox bragg on numbers but not on salvation, numbers of sinners does not matter, these same orthodox that ethnik kleansed the Albanian muslims, are not of God. anyone who indulges in murders and slaughters are not following the God of the Bible and that is what these groups do, same with the katholiks,
    they say they are following the traditins of the fathers and have an unbroken line, but that means nothing,
    they took part in the inquisition, and their popes have never struk it from the books, in poland full 60% of katholiks believe in forsable konversion of non katholiks, they are hipokrits they don't have Bibles in their hands when they go to see the pope, just roseries, its all pagan, and of men, and it is all vanity. and usless. they repent, and believe in the true Jesus of the Bible. befor it is too late , they will all perish, and their priests are responsible both in the orthodox and papal, religions to seek out the truth and share it with their people. Jesus is koming soon.
    your traditions will not save you they will kondemn you.
