so Sup Forums, why haven't you converted to the most uncucked form of Christianity yet?

strawpolls show that most of you are roman cucklicks. what's your excuse for following a commie pope when you can serve the same Lord in an uncucked way?

Orthodox countries have high abortion rates and high divorce rates. They let themselves get cucked by Muslims too.

Uncucked my ass.

most uncucked? Nothing compares to Dual-seedline

really makes you think

I've honestly thought about it. The current Pope is a heretic and it makes my blood boil.

heretics

Because it isn't about what's least cucked but about what is truest to the word of God as revealed in the Bible.

Brother!

stop thinking about it and go to a divine liturgy! take the plunge

t. former roman cucklick

I am Orthodox. Went to St. Nick's tomb last Summer, Turks preserved it better than I expected

You're in trouble if you think the EO is any better. Most of them affirm evolution and deny the inerrancy of Scripture. Especially the ones fresh from the seminaries.

your digits confirm the truth of your words, but i think orthodoxy is the truest path
Christ is risen

We mean cucked by the jews, obviously. Christian zionists are not christians, and those who aren't members of Christ's original Church aren't part of the Body of Christ in Orthodoxy.

Only nonwhites follow this religion

Think I'll pass

I respect the Eastern Orthodox tradition however many of your traditions stand in opposition to the Bible. This isn't to say I oppose tradition. However whenever tradition overrides Scripture we must remember the words of the Lord Jesus Christ "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do." (Mark 7:8).

What did you say to me, bitch?

>deny the inerrancy of Scripture
we revere the scripture but we uphold the importance of holy tradition in making the proper interpretations of it

the example my priest used was acts 8:26 where philip meets an ethiopian reading isaiah. he asks the ethiopian "do you understand what you're reading?" and the ethiaopian says "how can i understand with no one to explain it to me?"

What happens when certain Church Fathers disagree? I still don't have a complete idea of how authority works in the EO church.

I see forms of this response a lot, but let me ask you something--have you ever even been to one of our services at Church? 90% of what we do is sing to God. Almost the entire liturgy is singing, giving earnest thanks. It is all beautiful and meaningful to us and gives us a family that God intended.

>joining a branch of christianity
>not being an independent who just follows the bible
>following someone else's doctrine

I will consider attending. My point was directed towards your reverence of relics, prayer to the saints and the possibility of post-mortem salvation.

I thought the only big difference was whether the bread should be leavened or not

I have to be re-baptized or something, right?

when they disagree on something major it has to be resolved by an ecumenical council guided by the Holy Spirit. but before any major changes to the doctrine are made, they must be agreed to by the entire body of the church, including not just clergy but the laity as well

this is a great safeguard against a single man who happens to be a commie perverting Christ's message

Checked my dude. My question is where do the EO draw their authority from and how can we verify this?

In regards to Scripture it is through the Holy Spirit that we recognize it's authority

"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14

>My point was directed towards your reverence of relics, prayer to the saints and the possibility of post-mortem salvation
we revere the saints but we don't worship them. we ask them to pray for us and, in the case of Mary, to intervene for us with Christ. the way i see it, if you don't pray to the saints, it's like doubting salvation. the saints aren't dead, they're asleep in Christ waiting for the second coming

and we DO NOT (i can't make this clear enough) believe in the possibility of post-mortem salvation. we use the parable of lazarus and the rich man as an example of why this is impossible. repentance must be done in this life in order to be saved. once you cross the finish line, your decision is set in stone

I would add

1 Corinthians 2:12-13

"12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."

Can you answer my question on the EO church's authority?

>My question is where do the EO draw their authority from and how can we verify this?
we consider that we have an unbroken line of apostolic succession

I sort of never understand these criticisms--The early church was a time when Christians were persecuted, and our early Church fathers died and sainted themselves in order that the Word of God and his Church even survived to this day, fulfilling with their flesh the words of Jesus to the apostle Peter. And so I can understand the technical question, but it does seem callous and sort of empty to complain about God's gift to us that we've maintained with our own blood.

And you say do not thank a man who saved God's word, and not ask for his intercession after reading the Lives of the Saints, how they've guided us in the past, with an eye towards how they can continue to guide us, would be to pluck out our own spiritual eyes to spite our faces.

faithandheritage.com/2011/05/sola-gratia-a-refutation-of-christian-identity’s-dual-seedline-theory/

amen

How do you verify it and how is it that AS gives you authority to decree doctrine? Where does the idea of AS come from? Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for following employing a similar argument.

"And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." Matthew 3:9

When I contemplate the somewhat decadent nature of Orthodox Liturgy, I think about the gospel story where one devout woman lathers Christ in oil. The disciples ask Christ why he let her do that instead of selling the oil to earn money for the poor and he responded that by doing this, she showed her devotion to him and that there will always be the poor, but Christ will not always be on Earth.

Basically, all of what is done is done for the glory of God and to revere his only begotten Son. There's obviously going overboard, but I don't believe that decorating the room with images of Christ does any wrong.

>why haven't you converted to the most uncucked form of Christianity yet?

Because European Christianity is paganism with a kike in the way. The most uncucked form of Christianity, ironically enough, is the least Christian form possible.

I was baptized in the EO church as a baby.
My Christian name is KONSTANTINOS. Not even Greek. Just born there.

OP is a (((faggot)))

Jesus promised that He would not abandon His church and would send the Holy Spirit to guide us until the close of the age

anyone have the link to our discord?

I am not for neglecting the Church Fathers. I think they had valuable input however their theology was undeveloped and some of it influenced by pagan thought. I mean in Romans 3:2 St Paul tells us that the Jews were given the oracle of God (the Word - the OT) yet they persecuted the Church and crucified Jesus.

Christianity IS a cuckold religion. There are no loopholes. Christians worship a man who's mother cucked her husband. What more proof do yo need?

>national (((socialist)))

Don't you have a march to go to with the (((Kike Knight))) and Spencer in lock-step with (((Milo))) and the rest of those (((Rebel Media))) Mossad agents, you utter faggot?

gtfo pagans. Sup Forums is and always will be a Christians board

What more proof do we need that you're a barely functional retard besides your sick caricature of Christianity?

>swastika
>pagan

Christians are weak, all you do is assimilate brown people. I'd imagine there's more brown Christians than white people at all. That's your religion, and that's what you choose over your nation and race.

Let me ask you this: What would you prefer, a mixed Christian nation... or an entirely pagan white nation?

He has. He gave us the Protestant Reformation.

Unafilliated is the most uncucked to use your retarded phrasing. Read the bible do what it says. doesn't get any better than that. Its why there us such a huge resurgence of unaffiliated Christians now adays.

>Implying Christ's sacrifice and crucifixion was not the Greatest thing to ever occur to the human race

(84:1.3) Marriage was not even brought about by the conscious realization of the obligations of sex relations. Primitive man comprehended no connection between sex indulgence and the subsequent birth of a child. It was once universally believed that a virgin could become pregnant. The savage early conceived the idea that babies were made in spiritland; pregnancy was believed to be the result of a woman's being entered by a spirit, an evolving ghost. Both diet and the evil eye were also believed to be capable of causing pregnancy in a virgin or unmarried woman, while later beliefs connected the beginnings of life with the breath and with sunlight

It's crazy how aggressive the reprobate get in their strawmanning of the faith. He forgets that it was the devout Puritans (his forefathers) that had anti-miscegenation laws and were pro-Anglo-Saxon.

...

By your reckoning, any dumb slut can whore around and birth a god.

Thanks for further evidencing that you're a moron. How did you derive that from my post?

>Christians worship a man who's mother cucked her husband
you must be ignorant of the basics of the gospel message if you believe this. how could She have "cucked" a man She was not even with yet? Mary was a virgin living a pure life and resisting sin and the Father sent an angel to Her to tell her His plan that She should bear His Son. She agreed saying "be it so with me"

at first joseph didn't want to take Her as a wife but then the Father sent an angel to him saying "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."

in other words, literally saying "don't worry dude, you're not a cuck because God is the one who got Her pregnant"

What did that solve? There's been so many schisms within it. I used to be a Unitariarian Universalist and most of our members were atheist. The religion was the result of people with their own subjective interpretation of the Bible skewing it's message to fit their beliefs.

The end result of leaving individuals to interpret what the Bible to means, will be them fitting it to match their current beliefs. This leads to people saying "that was only a metaphor" or that's an analogy and it didn't really happen. Eventually people just become agnostic.

You don't understand. People can interpret the Bible how they want to, that doesn't mean it's correct. We know what the Bible means based on our understanding of the Greek and Hebrew of that era and if our interpretation makes sense and doesn't render other verses null or result in a contradiction.

So god is the bull then? Any way you spin it, he was cucked.

You're why blasphemy should be a capital crime

You're right, it's almost like we should form a group of some kind to help guide people and annotate the meaning of the Bible.

i just wish everyone's an atheist and all this religion shit is gone

Mary is Virgin you vile idiot.

You know it's fucking true. Christianity is literally the worship of cuckoldry. That's why the jews troll us with that porn.

if you cant come to your own conclusions then yes you should be affiliated with a church definitely.

Yes that's why we have churches and ministers and bishops.

God is the Lord of us all. to serve Him makes you a man but you're a cuck if you give your life to satan and allow him to be your lord

also this God didn't have sex with Mary, He caused the pregnancy with a miracle. She remains ever-virgin

Very enlightened

You're sick

Here's the Orthodox Discord, lads:

You sound like an edgy twelve year old.

I would be interested but don't know where to start.

But their interpretation is only good as long as it is in line with Scripture

READ THE BIBLE. come on man.

I went to an Orthodox wedding once. It was pretty based.
The bride and broom didn't last a month, but the wedding itself--primo!

Okay, so any dumb slut can claim she was impregnated by god to avoid accusations of adultery. Got it.

I have that, what do do about joining Orthodoxy beyond that.

We are commanded to go to church and fellowship, and be the under the discipline of elders.

As the other guy said read the Bible. I also recommend you read the Westminster Catechism (Longer and Shorter) and Westminster Confession of Faith. They have Scripture references at the bottom that you can look up. I recommend the KJV or the NKJV.

Start by going to Church this Sunday.

Here's the OCA's website/directory:
\oca.org/parishes

I can come to me own conclusions, but the fact of the matter is that I, and the vast majority of people who don't go to divinity school will majorly interpret it. The Catholic Chruch is based partially in a misinterpretation (pic related).

Unless you are Zoroastrian you are jewed.

I see no reason to go back. Orthodoxy is not for westerners

There's over 41,000 denominations. We need to start joining them, because in the end of times they will join.

I still haven't had anyone explain to me how the authority works in the EO church?

You have AS, but how do you verify it? No one has answered. I'll respond to your image shortly.

Who catechumen here?

WE WUZ PAGANS AN SHIT

I'll take the actual ministry of Christ, not a guy in a fancy suit. People will do ridiculous things if you let them interpret the Bible in their own way-- look up the Skoptsy (pic related).
youtu.be/9DZUhEKsGPY

All authority comes from the Triune God, user. The Church is our Famalam that God created and protects. Even the apostles were fallible--this is something the Roman Catholics don't get.

> People will do ridiculous things if you let them interpret the Bible in their own way-- look up the
Yeah like pray to saints and revere relics.

>accusing a literal nazi of supporting jews

He gave his Word authority (2 Timothy 3:15-17). It's obvious at this point that you don't have an answer to my original question.

Where does the EO get's authority from (AS?) and how do you verify it, and from whence do ecumenical councils get their authority? Are we commanded to have councils? I am not against them per se. I don't think they have any authority in and of themselves.

Hmmm well a kike rises to power, proceeds to wreck Europe by starting a war, killing untold millions of whites, and ensures that Germany is forever BLACKED and cucked. (((Pure coincidence))).

You latins are such fetishists for protecting your own mockeries.

>pray to Saints
You don't have to (nor have I ever), but there's nothing wrong with praying to someone who we know is in perfect harmony with Christ.
>Revering relics
Sounds like Catholics. Still, there are still things that should be revered. You wouldn't want someone to deface a Church or Bible, so how is that not revering it?

What are some good books? I'm getting Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. What else should I get? Preferably catholic view point or non-denominational.

>scribes

Christ called me to him -- or I finally heard his call -- in the past year. I've been searching and searching for a denomination that feels right to my heart and my intellect but haven't found anything. I'm basically defaulting to unaffiliated at this point and I actually feel great about it.

how would She have sent an angel to joseph Herself? what you're saying makes no sense. you may have triggered the other Christians ITT but i'm not even mad. just trying to witness the gospel to you

are you just pretending not to understand?

THIS. the place to start is church, not opening the bible cold and trying to interpret it by yourself. if you do that, you will misunderstand the scripture and become a top tier heretic. the bible is full of complex metaphors and meanings that require guidance to be understood
