Because the original church, aka the Orthodox Church, the one founded by the apostles, has clearly outlined that asking saints such as Mary (who, by the way, the Bible says are alive in Christ, as well as Paul referring to the Great Cloud of Witnesses) is fine, just like asking a friend to pray for us

>>57299330
The flood did happen.

Here are only 4 of the instances.


1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

2. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.

3. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

4. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world

I was not raised religious or forced to go to Church.

I had some hard questions that my church struggled to answer when I was only 9.

Some of the hardest questions which usually refrain people from believing in Christ.

I strayed from God's word and went through a very dark time.

Flat-earthism was a marginal point of view by then. Earth being spherical was proved by Greek classical scholars, as affirmed by Aristotle, held in great esteem by medieval scientists.
The Globus Cruciger is proof of that:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globus_cruciger
Medieval Europeans believed in a spherical Earth, just not necessarily one with land on the antipodes.

The idea that "medieval Christians believed the earth was flat" was a myth perpetuated by Americans in the 20th century, along with other myths of the "evil dark ages":

ignoring the shitposter, basically we're the other 4 chuches who didn't agree with the pope back in 1054 and thus kept going in our own way after Rome left.

We follow the Nicene Creed and the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and we believe salvation is both a choice we make and a process we are working through.

I highly recommend visiting a local church if you can, some aren't in English but that's changing slowly, they're all very nice people. Just don't take communion while you're there - ask the priest after the service if you'd like to know why.

>Synagogue of Satan
There are no "Fake Jews." History records them as nation-wrecking loan sharks as far back as Ancient Greece. The Mosaic Laws give them explicit instruction to loan on interest to non-Jews. Founding Christians, who were 100% Jews, used "Synagogue of Satan," and "Those who say they are Jews but are not" to refer to the Goyim who were picking up their religion. We are not and will never be Jews. We have abandoned the ways of our forefathers to "Eat the Scraps"(Matthew 15:27) of Israel.

some advice from a developing orthodox christian

do not discuss religion on the internet ever. do not go on forums to discuss religion. do not go on 4chan or reddit to discuss religion. do not ever mention religion in your facebook/twitter posts. it will get you fucking no where. everywhere you will be lambasted by atheists who think you're super dumb for trying to figure the world out, jews who hate you for not being jewish, ungrateful muslims who will readily accept your defense of them but spit in your face if you expect the same, and other christians who are overly concerned with making sure you don't get too excited about your religion (read: your eternal salvation)

if you want to learn orthodoxy, go outside. go to a church and talk to the priest. talk to a real person.
>>
>>57302590
Good luck to you my friend.

Another thing to keep in mind is to wear comfortable shoes - you'll be standing for most if not all of the service. If you're shy or just socially awkward, nobody will mind if you just chill in the back and observe.

My chuch is Antiochian (and yeah... there's more of us in the US now than in Syria, for obvious reasons) but the Serbian one should be very similar. If you want to participate during the service, crossing yourself when everyone else does will make 90% of the people not even notice you're new. We cross top-bottom-right-left (catholics go top-bottom-left-right) if you're into that sort of thing.

I may be wrong about it but I like that Orthodox Christianity looks solely to the original scripture for the conception of hell rather than adopting the innovations of later thinkers. Hell, much of the popular Catholic and Protestant view of hell is based off the layman Dante's writings. At least reading about it right now the Orthodox conception of hell seems far more fitting to the nature of God and Christ than the ridiculously punitive notion in the Western Christianity. Where hell is a place of imposed torture and brutality for failing to bow and scrap to God, while in the Orthodox view the suffering of hell is simply the sinful's innate reaction to the presence of God. It's not cackling demons and devils dancing about with pitchforks but rather the pain of self-imposed exile. That notion can even start to challenge my core value regarding faith - that I can't believe in a religion where the virtuous nonbeliever suffers as fully as the sinful nonbeliever. It's still an issue for me with Orthodoxy since I don't believe one can be redeemed after death (say, with something like purgatory or the benign treatment of nonbelievers in Mormonism) but at least the suffering is much more 'personal' - you are not punished for failing to bow and scrap before god but suffering is simply the state of being without God's light.

I guess you're referring to scripture stating that well before the Greeks thought about it. My bad then, misread.

Medieval Europe gets slandered a lot. Collapses of empires are followed by periods of instability. Europe was forced to deal with the Hun and Muslim invasions, civil war and plague epidemics - of course the living standard would have dropped.

Bible scholars are aware that Jesus Christ denounced the Pharisees. He said they nullified all the Commandments of God by their Tradition, "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:13; Matt. 15:6-9, etc.). His invective, in truth, cannot be equalled. All of Matthew 23 is like a whiplash. He likened Pharisaism to a whited sepulchre, indeed beautiful outwardly, but "inside full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness." Christ climaxed one condemnation after another with the expletive, "Hypocrites!" He called the Pharisees children of them that killed the Prophets. He foretold they would go on killing, crucifying and persecuting until the guilt for all the righteous blood shed from Abel on down would be upon them. "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Christ asked.
Christ is as utterly devastating of Pharisaism in the record of John 8. Although He admitted that His hearers were descendants of Abraham, He said they were, spiritually, of the devil. Christ told them:

>Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it (John 8:44).

Catholicism is the only rational form of Christianity.

If I have an immortal soul and its salvation depends upon my having faith in Jesus Christ, I need a rule of faith to determine what IS of the faith and what ISN'T of the faith (e.g. is the Blessed Trinity a truth of faith preached by Jesus Christ, or is it not?)

The Protestant rule of faith is Sacred Scripture alone. This is absolutely insufficient, because Sacred Scripture cannot speak for itself. No matter how much you insist on Sacred Scripture being "easy to interpret", or appeal to the Holy Spirit enlightening whomever reads the Scriptures, the fact is that they are shrouded in mystery, and when you set two people to the task of interpreting them you will hardly ever get identical interpretations. This means that Protestantism will always split into countless sects, because all one needs is a new interpretation of Scripture to start a new sect.

The Orthodox rule of faith is Sacred Scripture, and Tradition mostly embodied in the first 7 Ecumenical Councils. This suffers from the same basic problem as Protestantism - the texts of the first 7 Ecumenical Councils do not speak for themselves. This is the basic problem - we need a LIVING, SPEAKING AUTHORITY to interpret Scripture and Tradition for us.

The Catholic rule of faith - which is the only consistent rule of faith - is Sacred Scripture and Tradition embodied in all the ecumenical councils from the first to the last (Vatican II), AND the Living Magisterium (or teaching authority) of the Papacy and the College of Bishop in union with the Pope. This is the only Church that claims to be able to speak with the authority of Christ IN THE PRESENT DAY. And if I have an immortal soul and my salvation depends on accepting a doctrine of faith, I need an infallible, divine authority to tell me what is the true faith and it was heresy leading to perdition, as I CANNOT risk my immortal soul on mere human authority, even when it is based on Scripture or Tradition.

"But," says the disinterested Christian, "what has that to do with us today? What a group of Pharisees did two thousand years ago is over and done with!"

However, the missing link in Christian understanding on the subject of "Pharisees" is best supplied by the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (1943):

The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single piece of that literature … and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism.
Concerning the Pharisees, the 1905 Jewish Encyclopedia says:

With the destruction of the Temple (70 A.D.) the Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the Pharisees; the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older priestly tradition (Abot 1:1). Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future. (See Exhibit 264 herein.)

This will give you a basic overview of the Church, though being Wikipedia it might be a little too overwhelming.

Kallistos Ware wrote two great books: The Orthodox Church, and The Orthodox Way. The Orthodox Church is basically just church history, and is worth a read. The Orthodox Way is a very nice summation of Orthodox beliefs, written in a very readable way, very similar to CS Lewis in fact. It's not very dense, so anyone can get a grip on it.

Peter Gillquist (former CCC leader) wrote a short little book called Becoming Orthodox. It's probably the best place to start if you're an absolute newbie.

>>57303958
I may be wrong as I'm not a theologian, but I don't think there's anything Orthodox that says we KNOW the dead can be redeemed. We simply don't know God's ultimate plan, but we know He is graceful and merciful and desires the salvation of all man, so we do pray for the departed anyway in the hope of their, and our, salvation.

You may ascertain by turning to top Jewish authorities today that the Babylonian Talmud, the written form of the Tradition of the Pharisees, is the sole authority of the so-called "Jewish" religion, or Judaism.

Rabbi Louis Finklestein was chosen in 1937 by the Kehillas (Jewish communities) of the World as one of the top 120 Jews best representing "a lamp of Judaism" to the World, together with Maxim Litvinov (Finklestein), the Communist Commissar and bank robber terrorist; atheist communist Albert Einstein; those indefatigable Marxist reds, Harold Laski and his friend Felix Frankfurter (U.S. Supreme Court Justice) who shared honors with Rabbi Finklestein and others. Finklestein has long headed the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, with branches in New York and Los Angeles. In his two-volume work "The Pharisees." Rabbi Finklestein writes:

Pharasaism became Talmudism … But the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew … studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies. From Palestine to Babylonia; from Babylonia to North Africa, Italy. Spain, France and Germany; from these to Poland. Russia and Eastern Europe generally, ancient Pharasaism has wandered.

That's definitely something I've considered before, however the main problem I've seen in Catholicism is that the supremacy of the Pope seems to come above anything else. For example they allow Eastern Catholics to use the Filioque without the "And the Son" part, but it is in fact a very important distinction. They allow them to have married priests and use leavened bread too.

To me, at least, the Catholic Church's desire for ecumenism comes at the expense of doctrine, even doctrine that is frankly a problem if two parties believe something different.

>being without God's light.

I don't want to come off as belligerent but this is not how it is understood in Orthodoxy, but I'm not an expert. Take this with a grain of salt.

Hell in Orthodoxy is not separation, isolation, or detachment from God. In fact, sinners who we determine are "going to Hell" are going the exact same place as those who are "going to Heaven". They are going to God.

But when someone is in poor spiritual health, when they are in love with their possessions, with sex, and drowning in their own pride, they are going to suffer when they lose all those things. When they die and go to God, they have no way to indulge in their materialism anymore; all that is left is God. Where one person will feel warmth and comfort, the sinner will feel that warmth and feel it as burning. When they die, they aren't separated from God, they will simply hate and revile him when they get there, because they have hated God their entire life without even knowing it. They will squirm like a toddler in a loving parent's embrace.

Note that Christ promised to be with us all days. The papacy, much hated by those poor souls trapped in sects of perdition spawned by Satan, is the light of the world, the living voice of Christ speaking to all Christians from the time of St. Peter to the end of the world. In civil society we always have a supreme judge to settle matters of civil dispute and law, to give a final interpretation of what the law says. Without this there would be civil chaos and disobedience. Do you think Christ would fail to give the Church a supreme judge in order to preserve order? He gave the Old Testament Law a supreme judge in the person of the High Priest, so why would he forget to do so in the New Testament? You could say that there is no need for a visible leader in the New Testament because the Holy Spirit unites us all invisibly, but the problem is that while this invisible and mystical union of the Holy Spirit serves well in private faith, it is insufficient in public profession of faith. In public profession of faith we need a public figure to stand as an icon of doctrinal orthodoxy, otherwise we will not know when a man opens his mouth to speak on the faith whether he is of the true faith, or simply a heretic.
We NEED a public figure to stand for the unity of the faith. Just as we have water at baptism as a visible sign of the Holy Spirit cleansing our souls in baptism, so we need the Pope as a visible sign of the unity of faith among Christian people.

When the Hebrews were taken into captivity in Babylon @ 600 BC, they vowed to never again break the Laws of Moses, and designed a lifestyle that they thought would preclude them from even approaching a violation of any of the Laws.

They thought they could game the system; they thought they could mock God.

When Jesus showed them how far they fell, and how wicked they were, they were enraged enough to murder Him.

They murdered their own Messiah; God in the flesh, standing right there in front of them, and in their pride and arrogance and fear, they killed Him.

With his permission, of course, and just as planned, but nevertheless. And because of that, they have been blinded in part, and do not understand Moses and the prophets, nor will they until they declare "Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the LORD!"

Before then, of course, they will embrace the Antichrist as their messiah, just as they embraced Barabbas over Jesus.

> For example they allow Eastern Catholics to use the Filioque without the "And the Son" part,

Filioque literally means, "And the Son". I think you mean that they allow Eastern Catholics to recite the Creed without adding the Filioque ("And the Son"). The thing is this. Many of the Eastern Fathers themselves accepted the Filioque, or at least an Eastern interpretation of it (this interpretation is not substantially different, it really just comes down to a subtlety in phrasing between the Latin and the Greek). The problem with the Greeks was this: they thought that it was an affront against Tradition to change the Creed in any way whatsoever. The Latin West justified the adding of the Filioque because the Arian heresy was still a real problem in the West. The Arians were denying the divinity of Christ, the Son, and so forcing the Filioque in the Creed was a sign of emphatic denial of Arianism, an affirmation of Christ's divinity. But the Greeks simply took it as a sign of Western imperialism trying to impose a change in Sacred Tradition upon them, and they reacted angrily.

>They allow them to have married priests and use leavened bread too.

These are matters of discipline, not faith/doctrine. St. Paul does not say that it is an absolute necessity for a priest to not be married, he just thought it was a sacred shame for them not to be celibate as a sign of total devotion to the Lord. The Catholic Church has never thought of priestly celibacy as a doctrine of the faith, and has always understood it as a priestly discipline and a devotion to ancient tradition, following St. Paul. The same with leavened bread. It more comes down to tradition. The doctrinal matter in the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Christ, what in Latin we call Transubstantiation. Both Catholics and Orthodox accept this.

>1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Greeks hypothesized this as well, before the scripture was written. The word for atoms comes from the Greeks, and their belief in infinitely, uncuttable parts. I would not consider the Greeks to have lived "in recent years."

>2. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.

What does this prove? Whoever wrote that part of the Bible could have simply observed (or the people who performed circumcision at the time) that cutting the foreskin on the eighth day did the least harm to a newborn. I would agree this could be an anecdotal case of scientific knowledge, but there's a difference between believing something because the Bible said so and believing something because of repeated testing and research.

>3. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

I don't see why this couldn't have been reasoned by observation, by anyone. See the next point.

>
4. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world

The belief in a flat earth is a historical myth. Aristotle argued the earth was spherical. Erastothenes also argued it was, and performed a measure of a shadow at two points on the earth to estimate its shape and size.

Mate, on whose authority are you speaking exactly? Why should I listen to you? Who sent you?
Did Christ send you? Prove it.
Did the Holy Spirit send you? Prove it.
All you have is a modern translation of ancient books canonized by the Catholic Church centuries after their being written, and your own voice. The Catholic Church, on the other hand, has Sacred Tradition and Apostolic Succession going back to time of the Apostles themselves. Every priest and bishop in the Catholic Church is descended from one of the Apostles. Protestant preachers, on the other hand, are just self-elected prophets / false shepherds. They have no authority whatsoever.

I am not saying this to offend you. Just think logically. You are arrogating to yourself the authority of God. God did not make you a preacher. You cannot read Christ saying to someone "Go ye and preach the Kingdom of Heaven" and just assume that He is saying that to you now in the present day, anymore than you can assume that God will part the seas for you in the present day after reading Exodus.

The Protestant Reformation can be very easily proven to be demonic in origin: the Protestant Reformers themselves contradicted one and other, and Protestants have been contradicting one and other ever since. But God does not contradict Himself. Therefore, God could not have sent the Protestant Reformers. So now we ask: if God did not send the Protestant Reformers, then who did send them?

His toys are galaxies, his playground is infinite space and between finger and finger every interval is a thousand million light-years. Look at him there on the altar.

"Nataraja at play among the stars and in the atoms. But also," he added, "also at play within every living thing, every sentient creature, every child and man and woman. Play for play's sake. But now the playground is conscious, the dance floor is capable of suffering. To us, this play without purpose seems a kind of insult. What we would really like is a God who never destroys what he has created. Or if there must be pain and death, let them be meted out by a God of righteousness, who will punish the wicked and reward the good with everlasting happiness. But in fact the good get hurt, the innocent suffer. Then let there be a God who sympathizes and brings comfort. But Nataraja only dances. His play is a play impartially of death and of life, of all evils as well as of all goods. In the uppermost of his right hands he holds the drum that summons being out of not-being. Rub-a-dub-dub-the creation tattoo, the cosmic reveille. But now look at the uppermost of his left hands. It brandishes the fire by which all that has been created is forthwith destroyed. He dances this way—what happiness! Dances that way-and oh, the pain, the hideous fear, the desolation! Then hop, skip and jump. Hop into perfect health. Skip into cancer and senility. Jump out of the fullness of life into nothingness, out of nothingness again into life. For Nataraja it's all play, and the play is an end in itself, everlastingly purposeless. He dances because he dances, and the dancing is his maha-sukha, his infinite and eternal bliss. Eternal bliss," Dr. Robert repeated and again, but questioningly, "Eternal bliss?" He shook his head. "For us there's no bliss, only the oscillation between happiness and terror and a sense of outrage at the thought that our pains are as integral a part of Nataraja's dance as our pleasures, our dying as our living. Let's quietly think about that for a little while."

One that says the least is the least wrong and therefore the least harmful.
You can make the best religion in the world in less than 5 minutes.

Making one that spreads is more difficult, especially if it's a ridiculous one like Islam, which literally needs to indoctrinate defenseless kids to spread and maintains the faith in them through death threats.

I don't really understand what you're saying here? Are you agreeing that those Greek philosophers came to their conclusions based on reliable information?

It doesn't matter that they didn't see the earth from space to prove that it was spherical - the math behind Erastothenes' experiment is evidence enough. Considering his estimate of the earth's size was not too far off either, I would consider that proof as much as a view from orbit would be.

Christianity (KJV/ Wycliffe Bible)
>>
Without some knowledge of the written form of the "Tradition of the Pharisees," the Babylonian Talmud, one is unable to intelligently judge whether Jesus Christ was fair and just in His acid denunciations of Pharisaism, or not. One needs proof, offered by the irrefutable exhibits from Jewish authorities (set forth elsewhere herein) that the Talmud reverses every one of the Ten Commandments, the teachings of Moses and the Prophets, and enshrines their opposites under a "whited sepulchre" which is a disguise for murder and "all uncleanness," as Christ charged. Murder of non-Pharisees is always permitted; theft, sodomy, incest, rape are all permitted. For example, the righteousness of grown men violating baby girls under three is a favorite topic for discussion in book after book of the Talmud.

Talmudic literature is one long paean of praise for the very name Babylon, and all that it means to Babylonian Talmudism today, whereas it is a term of reproach in Old and New Testaments.

The books of the so-called "Old Testament" were also compiled and edited by pharisees during the Babylonian Captivity. There are still seeds of Wisdom remaining in OT but on the whole it's mostly garbage.

So the ancient Greeks saw the circular shadow of the earth on the moon. They saw ships disappear bottom-up as they crossed over the horizon. The math they did was not valid evidence of their conclusions?

I can see why actual observance of the earth from orbit proved its shape better, but was the math not proof enough? Math is VERY much enough for a lot of people, considering all its applications and uses.

Since they could not in any way at the time physically observe from off of the earth its shape, but came to the proper conclusion based on reliable mathematical reasoning, I feel that this was a valid reason to believe the earth's shape. I can understand why someone else may not, as much as I understand why people do not believe the Bible. I simply believe that mathematical reasoning based on observation (that can be replicated accurately) is more reliable than the Bible.

They were masters of logic. They did not only knew the Earth was "spherical" but even understood the Atom, and by extension the rest of pagans were similar.

Women are subhuman, they crave only the man with the biggest stick (i.e. the man who is most dominant/ violent/ evil). If women are given freedom they will start intentionally abusing it until someone puts them in their place. Look at modern feminism and the way women vote/ choose men if you doubt me. The solution has always been this to never allow women to be anything more than property. And given the fact that they lose their shut when given freedom, they are happier as slaves.

You will deny this all you want, I'm speaking Gods truth.
