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

But at the end of the day

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?

Can an unpleasurable act be out of love?

I'm talking about the greatest commandment man

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Commandment

And that commandment has a meaning

Yes

thing is, many can interpret it many ways

which is why we have Eccumenial Councils

Obviously man, for brevity I am summarising heavily here

That's the thing I despise about sola scriptura

it degenerates and causes schisms in theology everywhere, ultimately making ethics completely relative

Sorry
