ohh, i have no idea
I'm not Catholic
i'm baptized into Orthodoxy
Do orthos use kjv?
well, I've been using the Orthodox Study Bible
and so far in my classes it's a lot of explanations of what words in greek or hebrew mean
and their theological implications
and there have been references to the KJV to clarify certain english terms when the study works we are pulling from use certain less clear terms
so....kinda?
i haven't seen a single mistranslation in this study Bible tho
Oh gotcha
I just started reading the bible
nice
honestly, I think developing a prayer life is more important first. The Bible is not easy for some to start
what does the orthodox church believe
i'm not an expert on other denominations
Where I'm from you're either catholic or baptist
Talking to God during prayer actually feels really great
or a megachurch gurrrl
@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.
