Catholics and Orthodox have an extremely different understanding of what dogma is and how pertains to the Church
This is the Roman Catholic understanding: http://www.catholic.com/tracts/can-dogma-develop
>the Church facilitates the development or maturing of doctrines.
The Orthodox understanding of dogma is that which was passed directly by Christ to his Apostles. Nothing can be added, ever, by the Church, nothing can be taken away, that is the sum of doctrine (this is why there is technically no dogmatic canon of Scripture in the...

>The Orthodox Christians around me were condemning Rome as heresy because of the Papacy, filioque, and other such things (the list is longer or shorter depending on who you talk to). But I realized something: it didn’t add up. If the filioque is a heresy, then what is the Orthodox doctrine of the Holy Spirit? They respond and say “The Orthodox Church teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father alone.” Yes, this is the doctrine of St. Photios. But do you not know, oh my brother,...

Both of them have the same doctrine

>Further, in the local councils (at Jassy and Jerusalem) which responded to Protestantism, according to Kallistos Ware, “one does not find the Orthodox tradition in its fullness.”47 These canons were later modified because of their western influence. Which dogma, then, is the Orthodox dogma? If the council was modified, on what grounds? If it was accepted, on what grounds? If I claim that, for example, Aquinas’ transubstantiatio doctrine is the Orthodox one (since it was affirmed by Jerusalem,...

Genesis 1:28 "God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Christianity is not antinatalist. Children are seen as a gift from God, as if life for that matter which is why murder is a sin.
>>1078628
Ok but the old law is irrelevant is it not? Did Christ not say that he came to fulfill it? The new covenant creates no imperative for being fruitful and multiplying. This Genesis account was written for the Hebrews too, so it doesn't really stand.
As an addendum, it is not written that NOT procreating is a sin. To me, the new testament seems to support the antinatalist view, it was actually quite common among some early Christian sects, most notably the Marcionites. My guess is that Rome didn't like...

The quote is from Genesis so it doesn't really fall under Mosaic Law.
And while I can't really find any explicit call to procreate in the NT, Mary does say in Luke that generations will call her blessed, and that wouldn't work out if people don't have kids, does it?
Who had the best colonization policy? Personally I like the British policy of indirect rule since it gave Africans experience in modern government.

The Invention of the Jewish People
What does /his/ think about the Jewish people and the definition of "Jewish people" - also: has anyone here read Shlomo Sand's "The Invention of the Jewish People?"

He basically says that at

that's just zionism though, Jewish nationalism. Jews always considered themselves to be from a certain lineage, that being Judah son of Jacob son of Isaac son of Abraham. But Jews did seek converts in past all the way up to the early middle ages
>>1078461
They do share a common ethnic background, its pretty obvious. You can spot them coming from a mile away. They're even distinctive looking compared to other west semites.
>>1078461
The Jewish people were invented in about 800 BC.

There are no good Histories of the World therefore there are no best histories of the world. This is because "world history" is whig shit.

I'm sure you think Marxist historiography is perfectly valid though, right?
>>1078443
And to answer your question OP, I've only read "the outline of history" by H.G. Wells. The prose is, imo, one of the best prose I have ever had the pleasure to read. The history in itself is slightly more debatable: H.G. Wells is a communist and he lets his commie feelings seep through from time to time. But definitely an entertaining read, I heartily recommend it.
Did Gaddafi's National Socialism work for Libya up until the civil war? From what I've read it seems like a country that experienced phenomenal growth becoming one of the best countries in Africa, at the same time Gaddafi seemed somewhat reckless with the money of the state.Had Gaddafi not gone power hungry could the system have been sustained?
Gaddafi was the only man capable of keeping Lybia not a huge shithole.
I present as evidence the fact that now the US killed him, Lybia has turned into a huge shithole once again. Also their new flag is fucking ugly compared to the old green one.
>>1078567
In fairness, the US presence prevented many deaths due to the amount of aid they provided for the Libyans and their support also helped end the war swiftly. America never started the conflict so they tend to get less hate for their involvement in the conflict.
Although the main issue is that the Americans essentially tossed up their hands and said "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" while ignoring the consequences of their presence in Libya... which seems to a common theme with America's foreign policy historically.

The ancient Hebrews did not have a problem with images in their temples. If you care to look up the ancient synagogue of Dura-Europos (since destroyed by Daesh), you will see that it was covered with images from the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew Bible itself describes numerous images in places of worship (Exodus 25:19-20, Exodus 26:1, Exodus 26:31, 1 Kings 6:23-29, just like Orthodox temples today, the Hebrew Temple was supposed to be like being in heaven, hence all the angels). First, let's examine the word, used in Exodus 20:4, often translated as "likeness" or "form"...

it comes from the aforementioned "eidos". An eidolon is an avatar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidolon_(apparition) Now this term is very distinct from צֶ֫לֶם (tselem), which is word translated as "image" in Genesis 1:26--the Greek equivalent here is εἰkών (eikón), source of the English word "icon"; you would used the term icon to describe someone's reflection, but you would never use it to describe someone's avatar (idol). While idolatry (idol + latria) is wrong,...

Moses venerates his father-in-law: Exodus 18:7
The Shunamite venerates Elisha: 2 Kings 4:37
Mephibosheth venerates David: 2 Samuel 9:6
David venerates Saul: 1 Samuel 24:8
Abraham venerates the Hittites: Genesis 23:12
Joshua venerates the Ark of the Covenant: Joshua 7:6
Or maybe you would say this isn't veneration, but worship? Do you see a difference between this and latria, or no?
Can anyone give me more information on them?
What exactly were they?
How powerful was their organization?
What was there relationship to the local governments?
Were they involved in any wars?
>>1078076
They were a League
>>1078076
>How powerful was their organization?
Very powerful. They controlled trade in the Baltic and north for a long time.
>Were they involved in any wars?
One or two, but I can't remember which.
They were a brutal lot. To become a merchant of the league you had to go through a violent initiation ritual, like in a street gang.
>What exactly were they?
A trade league with alot of citites.
>How powerful was their organization?
Pretty damn powerful, and they even cucked the Danish king once, making him paying about 90% of Danish lands in mortage.
>What was there relationship to the local governments?
No idea.
>Were they involved in any wars?
Yes, during the 1300s and up until Erik of Pommeren they were involved in some wars with Denmark.
Basically, they...
