@Andrules Concerning the original—or “first”—sin, that commited by Adam and Eve, Orthodoxy believes that, while everyone bears the consequences of the first sin, the foremost of which is death, only Adam and Eve are guilty of that sin.

@Andrules we don't know how much time had passed. perhaps years.

Orthodox is more "mystical" and Catholic is more "logical" I guess

But the belief is basically the same

@Deleted User More or less yes

So Catholics and Orthodox share the same interpretation in original sin?

It has more to do with historical philosophies and culture. Remember that the Orthodox were mostly Greeks at one time.

Greek philosophy etc

Our churches are more mystical in a sense, hence the holy light in Easter etc

Here is another Catholic Church

That looks mostly as our churches

Most but not all ECs were once Orthodox

Rag.

Yeah

Do

Orthodox

and Catholics

share

the

same

As I said, same liturgical rite

If you spam again we are gonna have a problem

Seriously though I do apologize.

@Iakovos Also sorry to you too, my tone probably seemed a little aggressive, not that I wanted it

It's all good.

@Iakovos So, for your questions though, it would be best to visit some different churches from cathobros to orthobros and speak with the priests there. I believe they will be happy to answer your questions

I will visit an Orthodox Church tomorrow morning.

Catholic original sin is more like a curse as a result of an individual sin

Like inheriting a disease

Not infecting yourself with it as Adam did

The same as us then, because in a sense we don't inherit the sin but only the consequences

We do not believe people are *guilty* of Adam's sin. Merely that we suffer the consequences of what he did. So the blame falls on us

Well obviously, original sin is evident as we all die.

Yeah basically

Oh so that makes sense.

Okay, then Catholics and Orthodox are in harmony with each other on that.

Our relationships are "mostly" good

If I can get past the leavened bread I will most likely join an Orthodox Church.

But if I can't, then I will continue my original plan to be confirmed Catholic.

The pope have tried to mend the relationship with our churches and in 2001 it was the first time the Pope asked for forginess to Orthodox, not something that did go too well or not too bad
