That is the Orthodox Church, founded by Christ, which the gates of hell shall not prevail against.

Nondenominationalism is the way, pal.
1 Corinthians 3:4-7 ESV
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

The Orthodox is non-denom, it is the entire Church, not a denomination of it.
"Non-denom" as a term among Protestants just means Baptist with no communion
>just means Baptist with no communion
That is, not part of any larger Communion of Baptists

christianity, islam and judaism (the "semitic religions") are not the only religions
now if you are a believer in one of the semitic religions, Satan is an important part of that
will Satan get you?
Neopaganism is a modernist thing invented by the Romanticists.
Nowhere in the bible does it say anything about establishing anything like the orthodox church, or for that matter any church that currently exists
All churches are cancer
You are not a real Christian if you subscribe to this denominational horseshoe
There is only one Christianity and churches have nothing at all to do with it
Go in peace shill

I'm pretty sure monks are Buddhist friend.

Call me back when neopaganists consider fornication a sin. Ever neopaganist women I've met sees neopaganism as promiscuity-positive
Right, a denomination means "a denomination of the Church". The Orthodox Church is the ENTIRE Church Christ founded, which he said the gates of hell would not prevail over. Protestants say the Church Christ founded (attested to in Scripture) is cancer, because that's what heresy will do to you.
Orthodox have monks

neopaganism is garbage but so are Semitic religions
>haha, our "Church" has been torturing and murdering people
>haha, your Church has suffered hatred and persecution
>haha, it's obvious who is the truth Church!
The Raskol literally burned their houses with their families inside for a baptism "by fire" because they thought it was the only way to cleanse sins after they considered our Sacraments invalid, and they thought the end times were coming
The USSR tried to infiltrate our Church, but couldn't, so they established the "Living Church", which allowed bishops to marry and divorce and all that; most of our clergy refused to go along with it, so they were imprisoned, killed, exiled, etc. But it turned out the faithful did not want a phoney Church, and so Stalin had to give the parishes back the imprisoned clergy during WWII in order to inspired the people to fight; the clergy that had accepted the "Living Church" had to do the penance of Apostates.
The idea that the Patriarch today is KGB, has literally no substantiation, except one guy claiming to have seen "secret documents" proving it; compare that with the thousands of people who claim to have seen "secret documents" at the Vatican showing Jesus married Magdalene.
We've had multiple Ecumenical Patriarchs martyred, including one for baptizing a Muslim, and to this day the Ecumenical Patriarch continues to criticizing the Turkish government on multiple counts, we've dealt with heavy persecution of them for hundreds of years and remained defiant, and here you are today, having suffered not persecution, groveling before them
There is literally no contemporary account of the Massacre of the Latins except William of Tyre; contemporary Venetian and Geneose accounts only mention damages and an expulsion.

>Pope Francis has hailed the election of London’s first Muslim mayor in a wide-ranging interview with a French newspaper.
>"When I hear talk of the Christian roots of Europe, I sometimes dread the tone, which can seem triumphalist or even vengeful. It then takes on colonialist overtones," Pope Francis said.

Here are some things from Vatican II
>The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
-Nostra aetate
>But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.

On immigration
>Such an important aspect of modern life like mass migration is not left unattended. Unlike the Catholic approach that unduly favors migrants, particularly in Europe, the Orthodox notices the negative nature of the process, as well as the fact that it leads to confrontation of different identities and value systems. In addition, the Orthodox Church propose to look at the roots of this phenomenon. The reason for the migration is the liberal, hedonistic ideology bleeding the peoples of Europe and the interests of the capitalist elite, who need a cheap and disenfranchised workforce:
>Attempts by indigenous people of the rich countries to stop the migration flow are futile, because they come in conflict with greed of their own elites who are interested in the low-wage workforce.
On usury
> The only alternative to the global fictitious liberal economy can only be a real Christian economy.
>Business expectations in lending, often ghostly becomes more profitable than the production of tangible goods. In this regard, it must be remembered about the moral ambiguity of the situation, when money is "make" new money without the application of human labor. Declaring credit sphere to be the main engine of the economy, its predominance over the real economic sector comes into conflict with the moral principles, reveled by God condemning usury.
>In 2014, addressing a question raised on the family, he argued that church doctrine can change over time, and "doesn't depend on the spirit of time but can develop over time." "Saying that the doctrine will never change is a restrictive view of things," Marx later clarified at a Vatican press conference. "The core of the Catholic Church remains the Gospel, but have we discovered everything? This is what I doubt."[12]
>We have to respect the decisions of people. We have to respect also, as I said in the first synod on the family — some were shocked, but I think it’s normal — you cannot say that a relationship between a man and a man, and they are faithful, [that] that is nothing, that has no worth,
>He said it was up to the state “to make regulations for homosexuals so they have equal rights or nearly equal . . . but marriage is another point,” adding that the state “has to regulate these partnerships and to bring them into a just position, and we as church cannot be against it
>The history of homosexuals in our societies is very bad because we’ve done a lot to marginalize [them],” he said, adding that as a Church and as a society “we’ve also to say ‘sorry, sorry.’
the Pope's right-hand man, and a very close friend of Benedict
>In April 2012, the election of a young gay man who was living in a registered same-sex partnership to a pastoral council in Vienna was vetoed by the parish priest. After meeting with the couple, Schönborn reinstated him. He later advised in a homily that priests must apply a pastoral approach that is "neither rigorist nor lax" in counselling Catholics who "don't live according to [God's] master plan".[38]
>Schönborn is a member of the Elijah Interfaith Institute Board of World Religious Leaders.[31]
>Elijah Interfaith Institute is a nonprofit, international, interfaith organization which was founded by Rabbi Alon Goshen-Gottstein in 1997.
Here is the Pope on Luther
>He was intelligent and took a step forward and justified why he did it. Today we are unified as Protestants and Catholics on the doctrine of justification in agreement, and on this very important point, he was not wrong. He made a medicine for the Church, then he consolidated this medicine to a discipline, to make it a way, a belief. And then Zwingli, Calvin had these principles behind them
The day after the Pope said the Church must apologize to gays, the Orthodox Church in America made this declaration. Coincidence?
>The statement outlines the Orthodox Christian’s "sincerely held religious belief" that marriage is "a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman," and therefore any sexual relations outside of natural marriage "is immoral, and therefore sin."
>The encyclical continues, "We believe that God created the human race, male and female, and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and therefore sin
>Even more explicitly, the document states, "Marriage can only be between two people whose birth sex is male and female.

This guy wasn't even Catholic and POPES administered communion to him
>Brother Roger received the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist at the Catholic Mass celebrated every morning in his monastery, and he received the sacrament from both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, seemingly in contravention of canonical prohibitions on administering the sacrament to those not in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. According to Cardinal Walter Kasper, this was accomplished as though there was a tacit understanding between Brother Roger and the Catholic Church "crossing certain confessional" and canonical barriers through what Brother Roger called a gradual enrichment of his faith with the foundations of the Catholic Church including "the ministry of unity exercised by the bishop of Rome."
