      You mean the the harlot of revelation.
      Who "makes the brethren" consume "meat sacrificed to idols". Or what else do you call taking communion amongst carved images of saints? Framing up holders of true faith and commandments as iconoclasts doesn't make the church any more believable thatln her violent crimes in the past.
      "She is drunk on the blood of saints" just as the catholic church boasts in martyrdom of saints it doesn't own.

      As Oriental Orthodox, We believe in the Hypostatic union of the two natures Human and Divine, without confusion, mixing, division, separation, etc (which is similar to the Chaldean formula actually) since conception
      We also believe that Christ is perfect in humanity and perfect in divinity
      The difference is the we say that after the Hypostatic Union, there is 1 nature of the word incarnate (Hypostasis of the Son) as St. Cyril of Alexandria taught his church.
      This has always been the case, and you can double check this by reading what was written in that era, by Saints like St. Severus of Antioch or St. Dioscorus of Alexandria the disciple of St. Cyril
      For both held the orthodox faith that we hold today
      I'm sorry your friends couldn't see it 1500 years ago
      I understand it's a tricky subject, I'm not attacking you, may the Holy Spirit guide us all
      We should let theologians and our clergy study these and decide whether they're doctrinal or just semantics

    @DKCoptic 5 років тому +315

    We, Oriental Orthodox, believe that Jesus was fully human, and fully divine. Not a half-god, not only divine, nor only human. Jesus Christ is out of two natures, but exists in one nature after the union. The natures being united without mingling, alteration or confusion.
    In this we simply follow the formula of St. Cyril of Alexandria: One Nature of the Word Incarnate. The 5th Ecumenical Council clarified that the one-nature formula is allowed, provided that this is understood in an Orthodox manner: the two natures remain distinct and do not mix or change. This is exactly how the Oriental Orthodox believe in the one nature of Christ.
    We have utterly condemned Eutychianism which states that Christ's human nature was absorbed by the divine, or any form of docetism which states that Christ did not have a divine nature at all. Naturally, we also condemn any teaching that states that Christ only had a human nature.

      DKCoptic as Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus is both human and divine. In The Catholic Apostles creed, the doctrine states, CONSUBSTANTIAL with the father, from what used to be, "one in being with the father." Hence, same Substance with the Father. Furthermore, the Holy spirit is also one with the Son and the Father. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God that enlightens us to understand the Word of God.

      Catholics believe that there is objective truth, though we do not possess it in its entirety because it is subject to advancement in history. We will only possess complete objective truth at the end-time. That is why Catholics profess truth but do so tentatively. We need to be humble to revise our teaching, even as we profess them.

Our best way to live in the truth is to subject oneself to a teaching authority (Catholics call this the Magisterium) and to be open to revisions. I know people who are closed to Magisterial teaching; yet, if you called them schismatics, they would be offended.

      @@MFM230 my friend, what the Pope says ex cathedra (meaning from St. Peter's throne) is out of question. That's called the Papal Infability, and it is only used in very rare occasions, when talking about dogmas (such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary, which is an nonnegotiable truth).
      Ever since the 1st Council of the Vatican (1869), when this power was made official, it was only used once.
      So, as Catholics, we acknowledge there is one Truth, one Objective, Immutable and Eternal Truth, and that the Truth created the Cathokic Church, which itself can bare the truth.

The oriental Churches (non Chaledonian) walked away from the Council of Chalcedonia in 451 thinking that the issue how to address or explain the two natures of Christ had not been solved and the Council has not come to an end. The schism came about when the Patriarch of Constantinople dismissed the Patriarch of Alexandria for not accepting the existence of the two natures of Christ and declared him heretical. The Patriarch of Constantinople named another patriarch and the Schism was created.
    The Oriental Churches did not endorse neither Eutychianism nor Apollinarianism (two versions of Monophysitism). For the Oriental Churches, Jesus is a perfect full human and a perfect full God. Greeks did not understand how the Copts were explaining the union of the two natures and simply rejected hearing anymore from them. It was actually a miscomprehension because they did not understand each other among other things because they spoke different languages.
    For the Greeks (and Catholics as well) the union of Christ’s two natures, one fully human and one fully divine is explained as a union of the Christ‘s humanity and Christ’s Divinity in one hypostasis (Hypostatic Union). However, the Oriental Churches accepting that Christ is fully Human and fully Divine came to a different explanation of the same conclusion. Jesus Christ, both natures Divinity and Humanity are united in one “new nature" ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without alteration. For them Jesus is fully God and fully human. The human nature and the Divine Nature came to exist in one “new nature”, the “nature of Christ”.
    All the Oriental Churches reject being called Monophysite; they emphasize that they are Miaphysites. Some theologians (neither catholics not orthodox) have begun to embrace the idea that this Christology (Miaphysitism) is consistent with, but different from the formulation at the Chalcedonian Council in 451.

    2) The Oriental Orthodox Churches all officially condemn the Monophysite heresy.
    3) The Oriental Orthodox use the terminology of St Cyril the Pope of Alexandria & Pillar of Orthodoxy who spoke of "one incarnate nature of God the Word". The correct term for this position is Miaphysite. The prefix "mia-" refers to a compound one whereas "mono-" refers to a singular one.
    4) The Church of Rome has signed agreements with various Oriental Orthodox Churches recognising that the different terminologies are both acceptable when properly understood.

      Remember the Parable of the Master and the Banquet - ultimately all are welcome. There will absolutely (and very sadly) be those who will refuse to answer the Master's summons; but the invitation was sent out everywhere to all who would listen to and answer that call. Which is entirely up to us if we are the ones who make excuses and rebuff His call, or the ones who heed it and follow.
      That's why I frankly state what should be the obvious - the Master's House has no occupancy limit, as intended. Though we should never forget that there is a time limit, though we may not be privy to it. That's why we must be ever watchful for the Master's return, to use another Parable.

      John 1:18, Proverbs 8:22, Revelation 3:14, Colossians 1:15.

      "Begotten" doesn't mean that there was a time when the Logos didn't exist. If there was, it would mean that the Son was created, not begotten. The word 'begotten' doesn't refer to a temporal act of birth. Neither does the original Hebrew in Proverbs 8:22. Revelations 3:14 refers to the fact that everything was created through the Logos: 'Through him all things were made'.(John 1:3). It doesn't mean that the Logos was the first of created beings. Besides, claiming that the Logos was created is also illogical: if God created everything through His Logos, what did He create the Logos with? The original Greek text in John 1:18 says "the only begotten God", and God is by definition eternal. Furthermore, Christ refers to himself as "I Am" throughout the Gospel of John. Jesus Christ is therefore YHWH, the Eternal.

      You have no real explaination for John 1:18. Therefore your logic falls, because you as I said, assuming trinitarianism. Revelation 3:14 doesn't refer to that at all. The beginning of God(Father) creation. And it's Jesus.
      That's all what it says, if we don't assume the Trinity.
      Proverbs 8:22, wrong again, if you check the context there is no way it refers to an eternal being who had no beginning.
      God created everything through the son. The son created everything, therefore they both created everything in a sense. No contradiction at all. If you are doing something through someone, you are doing it with him. Stop assuming trinitarianism.
      Jesus could easily created everything, because he doesn't have to create himself, since he is begotten. But in a sense he is created, but more accurately he is begotten. So if you stop assuming trinitarianism, can you prove that this view is wrong?

    They made many ecumenical dialogues with the eastern orthodox churches ending up to the conclusion that they hold the same faith but in different theological terms, therefore Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria (who is moderate according to the previous Pope Shenouda III) convinced the Coptic holy synod to sign a religious document to stop re-baptism of eastern orthodoxes and to allow them to share the holy sacraments like marriage and eucharist with the copts and all non-chalcedonians.
    He also tried to end the re-baptism of catholics and allow for mutual marriage and eucharist but the holy synod rejected, they consider catholics as heretics untill solving the main seven differences (heresies according to them) between orthodoxy and catholicism, they are:
    1-filioque addition to the creed
    2-the immaculate conception
    3-purgatory
    4-papacy
    5-marriage with non-believers
    6-salvation of non-believers
    7-baptism without immersion and accepting of the baptism performed by heretics.

    Arianism is found in Non-Christian cults such as the Jehovah Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, and Mormonism. A rejection of the Divinity of Christ as God and the Holy Trinity is what separated the Arians and Semi-Arians from the Christians.
    Pelagianism is found in Evangelical Protestant denominations in which they believe that the Sacrament of Baptism is not necessary for salvation. While St. Augustine stated it would be impossible to have salvation without Baptism as such Baptism is a requirement of salvation as such no one could enter into the Kingdom of God without being Baptized in Christ's death.
    Monophysitism the Church of the East and the Oriental Orthodox Church. However, the Oriental Orthodox Church regards themselves as Miaphysite being they believe their view is the same as St. Cyril of Alexandria. I do have to correct you on this one the Eastern Orthodox Church sided with the Western Church in accepting the Tome of Leo (Pope St. Leo the Great).

    • @cosmasindico

      It is a common misconception that Mormons are Arians. That is not quite accurate. Mormons have many verses in their own scripture that affirm the oneness of God and Jesus being co-qual and co-eternal with the Father. They have very different formulas and language on how that oneness is achieved, and traditional Christians have loads of objections to those, (and that may make them semi-Arians depending on how you judge those things, I disagree, but then to some Catholics, Orthodox are practically social trinitarians and to some Orthodox, Catholics are practically Sabelians but I digress,) but in no way do they suggest that Jesus is merely a perfected man or subordinate to the father. He is fully God and was from the beginning. The difference between Mormon theology is on the other end of the equation. If they are heretics they are Origenists. It's not that they think Jesus isn't co-eternal to the Father, it's that all of humanity is somehow co-eternal with the Father as well. So they do destroy the Creator / Creation distinction, but it's on the other end of the spectrum. Which may seem like splitting hairs but these things do matter as the discussion about miaphysite and monophysite above demonstrates.

      Nowhere in that verse does it say that no other requirements were needed for salvation. The fact that verse is silent doesn't mean that it rejects other requirements. Funny enough you've not noticed that immediately after that conversation, two verses later, the soldier and all of his household got baptised (verse 33). Then again I guess you haven't read your Bible enough to know that EVERYBODY who accepted Jesus Christ got baptised, even Cornelius and his household who had already received the Holy Spirit. The only exception is the thieve on the cross, and that is an EXCEPTION. You probably also haven't read your bible enough to know that baptism was commanded by Jesus Himself (Matthew 28:19).

The right is the exact opposite, and you don't even have to go very far right to get into Pelagianism.

The orthodox have been unable to convert any people since 1054. Result: the orthodox don’t obey the Christ when he demand his disciples to stay united, and to go around the world to spread the gospel. The only unity among the orthodox is their hatred towards to Catholic Church. They spend all their time and energy criticizing the straw in the Catholic eyes, instead of noticing the beam in theirs.

Just check this part of the Coptic divine liturgy:
    "Truly, I believe that His divinity parted not from His humanity for a single moment, nor a twinkling of an eye".

So it is an just issue of language we use to explain things regarding the actions of Jesus.
