Orthodoxy is the most red pilled of all sects. You might even be able to find a church that does divine liturgy in Arabic depending on where you live.

Un-Orthodox Behavior
Catholicism isn't the only religion with sexual abuse scandals. Three S.F. women are working to expose cases within the Orthodox Church.

Abuse can take place whether you are a child, a teenager or an adult. Adults can be married, single or divorced, male or female. Even clergymen, seminary students and clergy-wives can be abused. Abusers can be clergymen, monastics, clergy-wives, or just members of the laity.

Were you abused sexually or otherwise by someone in one of the Eastern Rite churches? Are you currently being abused by someone?

It is not your fault! You are not alone! We believe you!
Pokrov.org is a resource for survivors of abuse in the Eastern Rite churches, both Orthodox and Catholic.

God chooses his worshipers, not the other way around

if you want to talk to God, then talk to God

specifically ask for his help to answer your questions

>depending on where you live.
I hate the fact that religion always comes down to this. How can you practise Orthodoxy, when there is no Orthodox churches near you.
I want Russia to invade Britain just so we can become a Christian nation once more and have Orthodox churches everywhere, instead of the odd city here and there.

I hate the fact that pol is so fucking racist

Fucking white supremacists shitting on asians. I have enoygh

so you believe in trinity or 1 God?

Why Orthodox Bishops are Celibate

Without bishops, there is no Church. Orthodox are quite different from Anglicans and other Protestants, with their clericalist, territorial and congregational mentality, in that we recognise the vital importance and authority of bishops. In an ideal world, each Orthodox diocese, containing about fifty parishes, has its own bishop, whom it knows well and who frequently visits his clergy and his parishes, several of which may be in the same town. These bishops are able to commit themselves to such a way of life because they have no personal family attachments, they are celibate and, in the Russian Church, monks.

However, this is an ideal and, although the above is still the case in much of Greece, elsewhere it is not always the case. The reasons why it is not always the case may be because of political persecution for financial reasons, or else because of weak monastic life within a Local Church. Local Churches, where monasticism has been openly discouraged and even attacked and so have no or hardly any monasteries, suffer from a lack of bishops. Or, as is tragically more often the case, they suffer from scandals involving the acts of bishops who were quite unsuitable for the episcopate.

Following yet more recent allegations against an OCA bishop, and in recent years it is not the first either there, or in the Paris Jurisdiction, or among Finnish Orthodox, where monasticism is also weak, calls from the Protestant-minded have been heard for married bishops. A married episcopate, they say, would, for example, stop pedophilia and homosexuality. (Ironically, the last two allegations of pedophilia against Orthodox bishops, in Canada and France, have both concerned bishops who were converts from Anglicanism, from, that is, Protestantism).

You in America convert to the Catholic religion
The Orthodox religion is for Russian and Greek Bros.
Also of your a immigrant you can't be deported to a Islamic country if your Christian.

Adult Victims of Sexual Exploitation by Clergy

Although clergy of any denomination can sexually exploit children, teens, men, or women, many experts estimate that over 95% of victims of sexual exploitation by clergy are adult women.

Adult victims of sexual exploitation by clergy often don't see themselves as victims. Without wider public awareness of the extent and impacts of this form of sexual violence, adults who have been sexually victimized by a beloved priest, pastor, minister, rabbi or other clergy will remain the "silent majority" of clergy sexual abuse victims, suffering in their shame and self-isolation.

An editorial in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on February 8, 2010 advises the following:

Talk to police first: Sexual abuse is a crime, and it needs to be reported first to law enforcement, not to officials of other institutions.

If you are a victim of sexual abuse or if you know someone who has been sexually abused or you know of a case of sexual abuse, you need to report that to the police or other civil authority before you report it to anyone else. You don't first report it to a school principal, teacher, counselor, minister, rabbi, imam, priest or bishop. You go to the police.

Sexual abuse is a crime and needs to be reported to the proper law enforcement agency just as any other crime should be … That should apply to all victims of sexual abuse, regardless of age …

Stealing our asian women

Fuck pol

Fuck the orthocucks

Can confirm.
Orthodox Christianity rocks!

Rules are (im not an expert by far, just my understanding), you have to get babtised in order to have a chance of reaching Heaven.
Heaven isnt the same one like they say in Catholicism, in Orthodox Christianity it is the place where the Jesus resides.
The nonbabtised souls, the souls of good people, the ones that would enter heaven by Catholic standards if babtised in Catholic way, end up in the first circle of hell.
The first circle isnt bad, no fire, no shit, just peace and whatever.
Remember, God is just and you get what you deserve at the His court, meaning you dont get shit on you if you didnt deserve it, your guardian angel vouches for you, is your lawyer so to speak and defends you when the demons start to give you shit.
If you dont have a guardian angel, your honesty defends you, i guess.
The judgment day is when it decided for ALL souls where to go and what rewards and punishment each soul gets.
The followers of Christ go with at his place.
I dont think you are forbidden to visit souls of your friends that are somewhere else, i dont know.
Be careful where you get babtised, priests are human and can be corrupt as well. see Dont be naive and be a blind follower of priests, be a follower of Christ.
Dont try and assert your religion to others, just talk about it to let others know it exists, you arent an apostol and you arent Jesus Christ.
Orthodox Christianity is basically Christianity as the apostols that lived with Jesus practiced.
Orthodox, the word says it all.

Disagree, but I think there needs to be another ecumenical council to sort out the problems in the rift between Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Forgiveness and reconciliation.

OP, where are you from? What's your heritage?

BUT YOU ALL HATE ASIANS

Orthodoxy itself is a psyop:
Psychological Operations or PSYOP are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of organizations, groups, and individuals. Used in all aspects of war, it is a weapon whose effectiveness is limited only by the ingenuity of the commander using it.

A proven winner in combat and peacetime, PSYOP is one of the oldest weapons in the arsenal of man. It is an important force protector/combat multiplier and a non-lethal weapons system.

Psychological Operations (PSYOP) or Psychological Warfare (PSYWAR) is simply learning everything about your target enemy, their beliefs, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities. Once you know what motivates your target, you are ready to begin psychological operations.

Psychological operations may be defined broadly as the planned use of communications to influence human attitudes and behavior ... to create in target groups behavior, emotions, and attitudes that support the attainment of national objectives. The form of communication can be as simple as spreading information covertly by word of mouth or through any means of multimedia.

A psychological warfare campaign is a war of the mind. Your primary weapons are sight and sound. PSYOP can be disseminated by face-to-face communication, audio visual means (television), audio media (radio or loudspeaker), visual media (leaflets, newspapers, books, magazines and/or posters). The weapon is not how its sent, but the message it carries and how that message affects the recipient.

It's the only christian denomination that is organized in a sane way, that prevents needless changes made only to appease the masses/foreign powers.

See: recent ecumenical council failed to push changes to the orthodox definition of marriage, because other patriarchs opposed it, and the council. needs unanimity to pass a resolution.

Byzantian degeneracy. Practically islam. Many inferior races practice it.

HE IS A MUSLIM

He was a Jew, who promoted Christianity.

EXPLAIN THIS

St. Clement was the third successor of Peter as Bishop of Rome; otherwise known as the third Pope.

"Since then these things are manifest to us, and we have looked into the depths of the divine knowledge, we ought to do in order all things which the Master commanded us to perform at appointed times. He commanded us to celebrate sacrifices and services, and that it should not be thoughtlessly or disorderly, but at fixed times and hours. He has Himself fixed by His supreme will the places and persons whom He desires for these celebrations, in order that all things may be done piously according to His good pleasure, and be acceptable to His will. So then those who offer their oblations at the appointed seasons are acceptable and blessed, but they follow the laws of the Master and do not sin. For to the high priest his proper ministrations are allotted, and to the priests the proper place has been appointed, and on Levites their proper services have been imposed. The layman is bound by the ordinances for the laity."

"Our sin will not be small if we eject from the episcopate those who blamelessly and holily have offered its Sacrifices."

Muslims hate the idea of other Muslims converting to Christianity.

Muslims need to convert as Christians Islam does not belong in America or Europe.

I HATE WMAF

FUCK YOU RACIST NIGGER

ASIAN WOMEN HATE YOU

Samefag

Russian here. For me orthodox Christianity associates with mafia, criminal stuff and prison culture. Many Russian politicians (read: mafia lords) become quite religious for whatever reason and build churches venerating themselves. Also orthodox Christian symbology plays great role in prison culture. I personally wouldn't ever convert into it, because I perceive it this way, though I know some really nice orthodox Christian people. But again, it is mostly a cultural thing and most people never read bible etc, I think it's the same in the west with Catholicism. By the way, I don't have negative associations with Catholicism and to me Catholic churches feel really calm and serene.

I HATE WMAF AND PRODDIE

how could he promote something that did not exist

>there are Trad Catholic Churches that doesn't allow Romanians, Ukies or Balkanians.

>The Orthodox religion is for Russian and Greek Bros.
Orthodox Christianity is the ancient and traditional religion of Arabs, you mongoloid cuckold.

> "Practically islam."
Don't listen to this homosexual cuckold. Orthodox Christianity is the polar opposite of Islam. Buddhism is the closest non-Christian religion to Orthodoxy -- except that Buddhism is the crap Chinese knockoff religion, looks legit on the outside but doesn't produce results and is full of fake bullshit on the inside.

>1 post by this id

Ok fine it's b8. Still.

Have you tried Sikhi?

I would think a Muslim would have a really hard time with the whole transfiguration bit (when you take communion, you are eating flesh and drinking blood). I know I could never get past that.

Also the fasting is going to drive you up a wall. You might as well just start being vegetarian now.

There are similarities, insofar as you still pray regularly 5x a day, but at slightly different intervals and you don't have to obsessively look at a clock. But you might miss that. Many feel lost when not every millisecond of the day is regimented. I call it being institutionalized; others call it religion.

But you can get close to God in Islam of course. Were you praying? Probably not. Well if not, then you won't find what you're looking for in any religion if you aren't willing to follow it.

Good luck.

He was the last appeal from God on how, what and why.
The Son of God. A signal that God cares about us even if we and our problems are tiny in comparison to the rest of the universe, or whatever there is.
Christ was from a jew tribe and jews hate him.
Even if you dont believe in God as an exponentially infinite self aware entity, the fact that the oldest most evil pack of humanoids hate Him and do everything in their immense earthly power to sway the people away from Him and demonize the stubborn ones should be enough.
But most people with daddy issues hate the concept of it, think they are special, think they are smarter.
