don't speak so confidently when you are wrong my friend @FreshWholeMilk
I am an Assyrian Christian
have you read any of Nestorius?
Nestorianism is the heresy that Christ is in two persons. Nestorius never held the heresy that bore his name
"They confuse each nature through the mutability that arises through the blending, even though in reality each nature is adored through an unconfused conjunction of the highest sort in the single person of the only-begotten."
From his 2nd Epistle to Pope Celestine
"In the case of the term Theotokos, I am not opposed to those who want to say it, unless it should advance to the confusion of natures in the manner of the madness of Apollinaris or Arius."
From his 3rd Epistle
He was a dyophysite
"Even if Catholics faithful to tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the one who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
that's St Athanasius
I hope you're not suggesting that truth is decided by a majority of bishops
We agree
The church has historically been much bigger, it is at its weakest right now
That doesn't detract from its truth
No?
The CotE was huge up into the 14th century
it started declining after that
it was under very heavy persecution in the 20th century during the Assyrian genocide
A semi-Arian could have said that to an Orthodox Christian in the 4th century
The CotE spread Christianity to as far as China, Mongolia, and Japan
And it has been preserved in India to this day
Since the 14th
Before that, it was by many estimates larger than the Latin church
I would rather talk on theological grounds than appeals to the size of the church
^
The church is probably leaving its period of decline now, at least it seems so to me
No
Along with about 15% of the church
The difference with the Sedevecantists is that they do not occupy any apostolic see
Their elections weren't valid though
Church of the East has her own Sedevacantists, they are called Old Calendarists and elected their own Patriarch
Respectfully it is valid whether you believe it or not
The issue of our apostolic succession has been firmly settled
Stockholm isn't an apostolic see though
Bawai Soro proved Selecuia-Ctesiphon developed independently from Antioch in his book
What do you mean a legitimate succession
Recognizing him as orthodox? Of course not
Right
If the issue is whether or not we are heretics, we are not
That's fair
Don't conflate Nestorius with Baptists though, then 🙃
