    Icon3 The Christianity Thread

    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...

    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 .

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

    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".

    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 .

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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 .
