There is only ONE, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

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

There is only One Church, Christ did not found branches. Only one will stand until the end, and it won't be the Catholic Church, although they have produced great minds and many are very faithful, they aren't the Church Christ founded, and so they will not prevail until the end times, but succumb.

"He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."

This is Christ addressing all that will be outside his Church. The Protestants, being the most deviated, scattered the most, and split into uncountable factions. The Catholics, however, left his Church by only a small trajectory, yet over a thousand years that gap widens even from a trajectory of only a few degrees deviation, and it will lead to an ever-widening separation

The oldest church on the planet is St. Thomas Syro-Malabar located at Palayur in Thissur, India.
Founded by the apostle Thomas. And it joined with Constantine in the formation of the Catholic church.
The Jewish subsect of Christianity started by Jesus's brother would have the most legitimate claim to be the true church if it had survived.
>>
>>78767061
Peter was the first bishop, and only appeals to other bishops as such (1 Peter 5:1-2, "elder" is a translation of "presbyter", which was angelicized as "priest"--it was the same rank as "episkopos", angalicized as "bishop", before there got to be multiple parishes per diocese).

Christ gives the same authority to the other Apostles as he gives to Peter (Matthew 18:18).

Truly, Peter was the first bishop. Truly, the Latin heretics tried to magnify what that meant, especially with the Donation of Constantine.
>>
>>78767683
The Orthodox Church is the Catholic Church, the real one. The Latin heresy is not, technically, a Church.

Saint James presided over the Council of Jerusalem (and Peter deferred to him), being, at the time, Bishop of Jerusalem. The Church in Jerusalem is Orthodox, they celebrate Pascha (called "Easter" among the non-Orthodox) at Christ's tomb.

That's absolute nonsense, you're thinking of a priest (as in ἱερεύς, not as in πρεσβύτερο, it is the latter commonly called "priest" in Christianity, but the former is the priesthood of all believers).

There is no good objective evidence for any God. Faith is believing something without any good objective evidence.

What the fuck OP you start a thread saying something stupid, about something you apparently know nothing about then have nothing to say?
The Catholic Church is a farce. Manipulated by Constantine to use to control the people.
Existing Christian communities were threatened to join or be persecuted.
Constantine picked a roman bishop after the existing bishop refused to play along and suddenly, conveniently died.
Constantine met with heads of all the churches that agreed to play along and they took an oath of unity in their belifes. The nicean creed. I belive in one God, father almighty maker...
Any church that didn't go along, and it's estimated that half the existing churches didn't, were to be silenced.

>>
>>78769515
There is no continuation of the bishop.
St. James was a jew as were the followers of his church.
There was a Jewish uprising in the area around 70ad.
The Romans went in and commited mass genocide and destroyed the Jewish temple which was shared by all sects of Judaism which James's congregation was.
James himself was put to death. Whatever was left of that group of followers did not build the orthodox church that is presently in the area as they would have fled or been killed.

Yes there were bishops from all the known Christian churches that wanted to play ball with Rome, pal. Constantine would only acknowledge one church, his. If they weren't going to get on board the persections would continue. If they did get on board lands taken from families during the persecutions would be returned, and the new churches would be given support by the state.
And why was the emperor of Rome in attendance?

>>78770866
They might not have made any building, but the communities still existed and venerated Christian holy places, like Christ's tomb, which the current church is built upon.

There were certainly more than Jews in the Jerusalem congregation, since there were pagans living in Israel (Christ is among them when he sends the cast out demons into the swine, which you might have guessed, since Jews didn't keep herds of swine) who later converted to Christianity, and Jerusalem was the major worship zone.

Not actually accurate, plenty of verifiable evidence based on historical accounts.

The resurrection of Jesus is not factual and it has no scientific evidence. Ignoring the preposterousity of a dead person coming back to life.

also "natural science" is not mutually exclusive from anything, it's not something you can throw out because it doesn't have answers for things that do not exist by real evidence.
>>
>>78771469
>Constantine would only acknowledge one church
How many did Christ found? One.

>And why was the emperor of Rome in attendance?
Because he called it, the Church was bickering and fighting among themselves, this sort of a religious situation causing violent dissension within the empire was unacceptable, on a religious and political level.

Constantine didn't strongarm anyone, he just told the bishops to come up with something unified and end the quarreling. He, himself, was very close friends with an Arian bishop (who went on to baptize him on his deathbed), he was hardly forcing Nicene Christianity on the Church.

Nope, see the Catholic FAQ in the pastebin

Q5: Concerning the filioque being merely being an expression of the Creed in Latin.

A5: The Latin translation did not originally have the filioque, it was something that slowly spread. Pope Leo III tried to stop it from spreading by having the Nicene Creed without the filioque inscribed on two silver plaques. But nonetheless, Pope Benedict VIII later added the filioque to appease Henry II of Germany.

Q5a: Concerning the filioque being read as "by" or "through" rather than "from".

A5a: It is true that the ablative form of Son is used here (Father is also ablative case), which can indicate either by/through or from/of. However, whereas definitive forms, such as genitive (from/of) and dative (through/by), don’t even technically need it, the meaning of the ablative case depends on the preposition governing the sentence. The preposition in this case is “ex”, which unequivocally means “from/of”.

cont
>>
>>78772569
Q5b: Concerning "filioque" being the spelling for both the dative and ablative cases.

A5b: If dative were actually employed, it would be translated as such, because dative is explicitly “by/through”. If you don’t add a preposition in the translation of dative form, the translation is incoherent, e.g. “He walked the house”, as opposed to, “He walked by the house”. Now if you want to start saying that the Father is ablative but the Son is dative (which the Catholic Church doesn’t contend, afaik), and *translating it appropriately*, then that would be a different story.

Q5c: Concerning the term for "proceeds" being more flexible in Latin than in Greek.

A5c: You are correct, the Latin term used in the Creed is "procedit", which can be used to mean "continues" or "advances", and in fact the Church Fathers have widely attested that it is orthodox to say this in Latin, generally speaking.
cont
>>
>>78772600
HOWEVER, the Latin Nicene Creed is different, because it is not an independent theological work or statement in Latin, it is a translation of a Greek statement, and the Greek term used in the Creed, which the Latin is ultimately a translation of, is ἐkπορευόμενον, which means "proceeds forth" and necessitates a genitive noun(s) as *origin*. The wider Greek term used in sense the Church Fathers said the Latin term could be used in, is προχωρώντας, but this is not the term used, and so we cannot say that the Latin term is used in that sense; true, it is cognate with that, but the Latin word "substantia" is cognate with the Greek term ὑπόστασις, yet these terms are enormously distinct theologically, since "substantia" in Trinitarian theology is used to translate the Greek term οὐσία (essence), whereas "persona" is used to translate ὑπόστασις (existence). Therefore we must accept the meaning of Latin terms in theology not according to cognates or general use, but according to which Greek terms they are intended to translate, for if we don't do that, then the Latin Church's understanding of the Trinity would be extremely heretical: persona would ceased to mean ὑπόστασις, and would instead simply mean "role" or "mask".

There's not a historian alive that belives his conversion was genuine.
It was the night before his overthrow of the powers of rome to claim the empire.
He had politicians on his side and some military. But he needed the masses and common soldiers on his side as he was outnumbered.
Christianity was a popular underground movement in the empire despite being outlawed.
Suddenly he has a convenient vision, wins the people to his side and he succeeds in his battle and assumes power.
Throughout his rule he constructed pagan idols across the empire executed his wife and I belive his son. He really sounds like a deeply religious man to me.

It's really not, it's just different administrative jurisdictions.

>As an American, how could I possibly feel that I fit in with any of the Orthodox Churches when I'm not say Greek or Russian nor do I know any of their languages?
You might try Antiochian, they have had so many converts in America that the Liturgy is in English and most people in a given parish will be converts.

But it really doesn't matter, I'm a convert and my parish is Greek Orthodox.

Then why did disciples who were more inclined to answer theological questions solve their issues with a final statement from the bishop of Rome, even after Peter?

No. Only the Roman pontiff did

Study bayedian analysis and how historians prove factual events.

Also, study the scientific method. Evidence used to formulate a hypothesis is not the same as evidence pointing towards scientific facts.

You're extremely confused if you think facts cant be discerned with secondary evidence. You need to study more.

some of the Catholic miracles I can bring up are the recent Eucharistic miracle in Poland (Eucharist that you think is just a wafer turned partially into spinal tissue with AB type blood) and the revelation of Our Lady at Fatima.

Constantine, I'm assuming you have some other miracles and defense?

He had strong Christian sympathies, but he certainly wasn't a full-fledged Christian until then, he still put SOL INVICTUS on his coins, and commemorated the founding of Constantinople to it.

There are no religions with continuous, immutable teachings, with nothing added or taken away, stretching back that far.

>>78773699
>882 The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter's successor, "is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful."402 "For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered."403

-Latin Catechism

>>78773769
They could in virtually all matters except dogma, which the bishop of Rome certainly did not have unilateral say on. Dogma is strictly, only, solely what Christ taught directly to his disciples, without any 'maturing' (as the Latins teach). No bishop has the authority to teach against this, no bishop has the authority to teach something not part of this as part of, no bishop has the authority to "mature" it. All bishops are guardians and teachers of it.

>>78774093

There is a hypothesis there, that is not Scientific evidence, it has not underwent the scientific method to earn the title of "evidence"

You have postulated a hypothesis for hundreds of years as a group to the historicity of these events but there has not been a single fact found which proves them happening.

I'm not doing this to insult you, it's the reality of the situation.

>Study bayedian analysis and how historians prove factual events.
It can prove events factual historically, not factual as natural science. For something to be factual in natural science, it has to be able to be replicated by multiple parties.

>positively, no doubt muscle tissue from spinal area near heart along with AB type blood

Is there any explanation needed there?
>>
>>78774310

Not true, it depends on what's being proven and the standard of evidence.

Stop saying that, the equivalent is for me to say Jesus cannot have risen from the dead because nobody has ever replicated it since in recorded history which doesn't help you.

You make the intelligent Christians look bad.
>>
Shit OP you deny the legitimacy of Rome but you buy their " Peter was the first pope and went to Rome and founded the roman churrch" BS.
There's not a schred of evidence that confirms Peter ever went to Rome.
The Catholic Church has been financing archeolcal digs all over Rome for 200 yrs. looking for Peter's remains to back up their story and claim to the seat of power.
But when a Jesuit archeologist finds his tomb in Jerusalem he's shipped off to Ethiopia to be silenced.
Peter being the first pope is a tall tale to secure roman Catholic power.

Well there were Christians there to welcome Paul, but Rome was the hub of the center of the known world and stories of jesus would have reached rome before his arrival.
But being that paul left so much written work isn't it odd that it's never mentioned that Peter was there ahead of him.

Catholic here. Are there even that many Orthodox churches that have services that don't use a Slavic language or Greek? I tried going to an Orthodox church in my city, only Russian, Serbian and Ukrainian services were offered.
>>
Catholic here. Well, I gotta say I admire your zeal. Even though we have our differences, it makes me glad to know that some eastern churches are doing well and still hold strong against modernism.

Can't say the same about our church to some respect, but individual priests and parishes are a different sight than what you see in youtube.

I'm also glad that we are sharing Easter dates next year. It's going to be a great year for Christendom. I can feel it.

There is no obstacle to using English, Spanish or any other language.
