@everyone

going live

yeah @Joe the boomer can you @ me again i might forget

Orthodox Theology is intense but uhh

what do you mean

what do they believe

like what belief do they have that differs from other denominations

what makes them unique

gotta work nigga

oof

uhh

im trying to think if there's an easy way to answer that

I can post the nicene creed lol

catholic church split from orthodox when they tried to say theirpope has more power than the others

the structure had always been for a thousand years that all the popes (or patriarchs) were equal in power

lot of orthodox ppl I know like douay rheims

Catholic theology mostly relies on "absolute divine simplicity" which orthodoxy rejects

and they don't believe that any apostle had any authority over another

they also split on the filioque which is, the holy spirit proceeds from the father, and not the son, which catholics say he proceeds from the son also but that is blatantly not true.

the approach to life and sin is differentas well, life being n entire journey of repentance

filioque was both an issue of absolute divine simplicity and authority

between the churches

here u guys go

yeah I haven't looked into divine simplicity too much yet

I like the way the orthodox church approaches prayer, and life in general

there's a lot to it and for the most part russia has kept the traditions the closest to the original Church, there's a schism going on righ now

centered around Ukraine

because the US is trying a bunch of political nonsense in the Ukraine

but like, committing INSANE heresies

yeah is pretty fucked rn

Like, when the Pope declared himself to be speaking with authority, he was claiming the authority of Peter

filled w a bunch of actors
