The Christianity Thread

[The Good]

Welcome to the Christianity Thread! If you wonder what it's purpose is, it is to be a discussion on various aspects of the Christian religion. Now, the Christian religion has unfortunately become many denominations, but one thing most of these denominations have in common is that they agree with the Nicaean Creed, of the Council of Nicaea.

I will post more tomorrow, I'm out for the night...

HI! I'm Catholic (w/ orthodox tendencies) what about you??

but one thing most of these denominations have in common is that they agree with the Nicaean Creed, of the Council of Nicaea.

I hate to disappoint people ,but unfortunately not .The Nicean creed is different at the Orthodox vs the Catholic and the Protestants . The last two groups are pronouncing it with the addition "Filioque" ,which was introduced around the 9th century and was declared illegal and sentenced as heretic in Constantinople . Pope Leo X has joined the verdict at the time . It iss actually one of the main obstacles in front of a communion of the Churches .

Otherwise, I believe they have much in common .

[Giorgos]

The Orthodox and the Catholic church have the most in common. Most of the other denominations stray further away.

[jo the greek]

i thought that the pope was the satan according to many other christians

[Giorgos]

No. Not the satan. Some of them acted like the satan would do though. But they are only people. Just like you and me. I still laugh about that "papal infallibility concept".

They're not forgotten. Look at the Orthodox mission.

He looks like Palpatine, sure. Or is it Palpatine who looks like him...

I have thought just as you that they are Orthodox(in Ethiopia) but not .They have accepted Christianity from the Alexandrian Patriarchat which was at the time monophysist . And they still are monophysist . It is enough to say ,they are not mentioned at mass when the Orthodox Churches pray for each other publicly and mention each other to be helped by God .

yu are referring to Coptic church?
i had heard that werent realy copts but not sure

[Erwin Rommel]

I may be a catholic but i sure love that Pope picture!

[Giorgos]

I was talking about the Orthodox Ethopians, some of whom i met here in Greece. The ones i mention are not monophysites.

[Dracula]

The Ethiopian Church is hell sure to be coptic =monophysist . I dunno whether there are others who are Orthodox though .

And if you share smth about your meeting Giorgos,I will be much obliged !

The are others, of course. The ones i met were people working at the Greek Orthodox mission in Ethiopia. There's nothing to be said about the meeting. They were explaining their difficulties in their day to day struggle for survival and gave us all a new perspective about our so called "problems". In comparison to those people, our lives are just fine. We should be thankful.

[Zenith Darksea]

I love the way that what was intended as a thread for people to pretend that all the offshoot Christian sects are equal to the Christian Church has in fact become devoted to Orthodox Christianity already. That's as it should be!

[MonopthalmusLXXXVIII]

I guess there is no room for protestants, even heretic protestants. It just seems to me or am I wrong, but is the Christian faith on TWC represented mostly by Roman or Orthodox catholics?

No actually .I may be orthodox and few people,but the majority here (of the christians) curse the icons,the Pope,The Ecumenical Patriarch and whoever,so you might be very convenient Anyway,come in and let's have a beer .,oops ,a talk

[Dunecat]

I could be mistaken, but I thought the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church were not denominations, correct?

This could be the Protestant Christianity thread (as it is only your sect who splits up into thousands of factions), as we already have our own thread.

It's only fair .

[Erwin Rommel]

yes...........we are big fans of excommed.factions..........crusades and the occasional burning of the heretic!!!
