which nicene creed?
The one that was decided in Nicene aha
The original one? the one where it was changed once?
The one the Catholics use?
the Nicene creed was created then changed by an Eccumenial Council
The changes weren't really too major mate
But then again I come from a reformed background
Actually any change can cause a schism
Such as the Russian Orthodox and the Old Believers
Catholics and Orthodox
hmm yeah
What is your point
You argue that the orthodox church as you see it, is the one true church due to apostolic succession
The one w/ the Old Believers was very ''insignificant'' but ti still caused a schism
It's the original branch
You know I think the schism between east and west was more to do the internal politics within the fading roman empire
Than anything else
Internal politics caused unneeded change theologically, yes
Especially Papal Primacy
Yeah
If someone has accept the gospel mate
They love Jesus
What if you accept it wrong?
And have received the holy spirit
They are still christian man
many immoral people love Jesus
all denoms claim to love Jesus but have vast differences
ok, but as a part of loving Jesus, they follow and obey his commands
you're arguing for sola fide and sola scriptura
And have received the gospel of savlation
What are His commands <:Thonk:291442234199375872>
To love god and to love others
your background is definitely showing extremely much
That is what the entirety of the commands were accordin to christ
and, I don't wanna be petty but capitalize His pronouns and names
Ok, I apologise
I'm reformed man
''to love God and to love others''
this is extremely extremely vague
what does it mean to love?
What are acts of love?
