Egypt was and is today Christian. It was Christian for 629 years before talse teachings and practises entered the country. All Mohammadans will someday come to the knowledge of the True God and Saviour Christ Man and will bow down in worship and Thankgiving to Him Alone and His Father and Holy Spirit.One God in Three Persons, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. May we ALL keep them in our Prayers.
Orthodox Christians are not legalistic in their beliefs or practises . As Orthodox Christians we are commanded to worship God with our every breath. Only the Monks in Monasteries pray non-stop for All Orthodox Christians and All of Mankind who cannot keep this rule of prayer. Your video has some controversial and erronious facts. Orthodox Tradition forbids rosaries which are foreign to us. This may confuse your viewers. This is a Roman Catholic Tradition. We have Prayer Ropes and not rosaries.
Great video, thanx Brother. I go to Saint Herman of Alaska Eastern Orthodox, plus once a month I go to St.George Coptic Orthodox for thier English Liturgy. God bless All Orthodoxy!!! +++
If our worship is directed to the unseen Allah, why face idols during prayer? Can't we stear away from idolatry and worship only the Father as Jesus Christ taught?
@malikalkindy we don't worship the icons, they are visual aids of what is seen in heaven, each icon is a written account of the life of a saint... Jesus Christ taught that he and the Father are one in the same :)
"An image is a representation or likeness of anything, whether made by painting, or from wood, stone, etc. Thus, the word is applied to "idols," as being "images" or "representations" of heavenly objects; 2 Chronicles 33:7; Daniel 3:1; Revelation 11:4, etc. See instances of this among the Jews described in Isaiah 40:18-26, and Ezekiel 8:10"
We worship One God and His ONLY Begotten Son and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. All are ONE with the Father. God became Incarnate in the Person of Jesus Christ who is One with the Father. Just as the Holy Scriptures, the Inspired Word of God reveal to us. This is difficult for Mohammadans to accept: That Jesus Christ is the God-Man. He took on Human nature and still retains His Divinity. Christ is the ONLY Saviour of All Humanity.
I have never been around Orthodoxy while growing up; the closest parish is about two or three hours away. But I have recently been drawn to many of your practices and have found them helpful in my own daily walk. I have been wanting to build up my own icon corner, but I am not really sure how to go about doing it. Would someone be willing to help me with that?

The door to Orthodoxy is wide open. You can find an Orthodox Church and ask priest to baptize you, and after few steps, you will be baptized. You can also visit goarch.org for more info.
@MrCalathea As a convert from Catholicism myself, I can tell you.
Go talk with your Orthodox priest about it. You will then be made a catechumen and learn about Eastern christianity for about 1 or 2 years (depending on how fast you learn).
After the catechumenate, it depends on your past. Have you been chrismated as catholic, or just baptized? If you only were baptized you will be christmated into orthodoxy. If you have already been chrismated, you need to say the Nicean creed and take commun
Beautiful video I have admired it for some time now. I am Eastern Orthodox (a convert of 4 years now) I absolutely love the Agpeya and use it on a daily basis, but have worn through 2 copies of the brown hardcover edition. Do you know of a more durable edition?
Can you PLEASE give me a link of where I can find the first hymn?! I looked EVERYWHERE for it, and can't find this version!! I would really appreciate it man. Thanks for the awesome video as well, really inspiring ;)
Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. I love learning about the different churches. Living in NY, I have the opportunity to attend various Orthodox churches, Romanian, Ukranian, Greek, Serbian etc. They are very much the same. It doesn't matter which one I'm in or what language is being spoken, I always feel the presence of God. I'm deeply proud to be Orthodox.
This is really helpful for someone like me in the process of converting to the orthodox faith. It is great to see everyday devotions practiced a home by ordinary people. I know practices vary from place to place, but would something similar be done by Russian or Greek orthodox people? Thanks for a wonderful video.
@57reg I'm OCA (Orthodox Church in America) we are much like the Russian Orthodox Church. we are all ORTHODOX, so we are all the same faith. styles differ a bit, but it's the same faith. we do have icons, prayer books, crosses, holy oil and water, etc.
@tmh726 I was wondering what was the difference between Russian and Greek Orthodox? I have been reserching orthodox for a few months and I have found 2 Orthodox churches kinda close to me, but Im not sure which one I should try.
@jabames a romanian orthodox priest said, "as you always need to breathe in order to live, the same way you need to pray, constantly, for what is prayer, other than a constant communion with Our Lord, a constant connection with Him who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life." So, prayer is necessary at all times.
a person who continualy prays in faith, and recieves, making praying several times in one day a value, infact sometimes its best to never stop prayer, infact i think tahts how its sapost to be, in a constant state of prayer and faith. sounds wonderful :)
@stavvy95 yes we Orthodox do pray to the Theotokos a title which implies that her Son is both fully man and fully God. In obedience to God's clear intentions in Luke 1:48, therefore, the Orthodox church honors Mary in icons, hyms, and special feast days. We entreat her, as the human being who was most intimate with Christ on earth, to intercede with her Son on our behalf. We ask her, as the first believer and the mother of the Church, for guidance and protection.
@stavvy95 We venerate her, but we do not worship her, for worship belongs to God alone. We sing this hymn which expresses MAry's unique place in creation. "It is truly right to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blesses and most pure, and the mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word: True Theotokos, we magnify you." May your faith grow in the Lord my friend!
@stavvy95 She's the Mother of God, so when we pray 2 Mary, we ask 4 her 2 pray 4 us, and 2 intercede & us f we need help in anything. Many people think that when Christians pray 2 Mary or 2 saints, we r worshiping them, but we r not, we venerate them becaue they lived holy lives, becaues they r in heaven, & we ask them 4 help in our daily lives, & ask them 2 pray to God 4 us to save us & help us. We believe that just as angels r spirits that can help us, saints can help us 2, but they arent gods
@TheMikerussian There are two orthodox churches: the Oriental and the Eastern orthodox church. Oriental orthodox= Coptic, Armenia, Syria, Ethiopia, India. Eastern orthodox = Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova... Both churches are practically the same. The devision arose as a result of misunderstanding. Both chruches are talking about reunification again.
@ggrean oh okay thank you for the clairificaiton, because I do remember there being a split in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church from the Fourth Ecumanical Council about the nature of Christ our Lord, but I wasn't sure if the Coptic Orthodox church reunified with the Eastern Orthodox church because we both believe in the same idea that Christ has two natures one fully man and one fully god.
@TheMikerussian The Orthodox Church is is Orthodox wether it's in America, Greece, Russia etc., the only difference is the language the people use. People say they're Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox (etc.) because that's the country where they are from, or their parents are from/the Church they were born into or the church they attend. The Coptic Church is not Orthodox, the two almost the same, except for some theological differences they have (same with the Georgian church)
@pccrazy1000 " The Coptic Church is not Orthodox, the two almost the same, except for some theological differences they have (same with the Georgian church)"
Thank you for the response brother in Christ. I was wondering if the Coptic Church was was also Orthodox. May God bless you and your family for many years.
@pccrazy1000 Peace...did you write that the 'Coptic Church is not Orthodox'? Or am I not reading carefully? The defenders of Christendom are the Copts. I am happy that most orthodox Churches keep tradition, but the Coptic Patriarchs and Saints have to be blessed and praised, because She is the Church of Martyrs for a reason.
@pccrazy1000 the Coptic Church is Oriental Orthodox, and is certainly Orthodox, in that they have retained and still practice the ancient traditions of the Church, and hold the same doctrines. there is Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, and while the Christology is somehwhat different (miaphysite vs. chalcedonian), both are Apostolic, and faithful in doctrine and practice.
@TheMikerussian All orthodox churches hold the same theological beliefs, they only differ in minor matters like how many times 2 cross urself before kissing an icon. The Orthodox church, of course doesn't have 1 head, like the Catholic church, each country has a head, and the patriarchy of each country can declare people who were godly enough 2 b saints who lived within the boundaries of that counrty, by Orthodox theological reasoning.
Sry f i tld u wat u alrdy kno, i jst wntd 2 write my thouts
@pccrazy1000 Yeah I used to go to a Russian Orthodox Church when I was little, now that me and my family have moved to the US we attend an OCA church, but we are One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church after all preserving Christ's faith for over 2,000 years even through fierce persecutions (Communism my parents lived through it in Kazakhstan when it was moving to a Capitalistic economy)
You have some beautiful icons, and the background chanting is beautiful. Prayer is SO very importent...I pray 3 times a day in the privecy of my own room with my icons and then I pray the Jesus Prayer ("Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner") throughout the day even if I'm in the middle of something. I love being apart of the Orthodox Church...I love being able to ask God's holy Saints and Angels for their intercesion and aid too. Thanks to God I'm now employed again. :)
Yes, Prayer is a beautiful thing. When I became Orthodox, I was enchanted by the fact that I must pray. It's not like with the rest of my family, who ask God for things occasionally. I pray morning-afternoon-evening. one thing that struck me as odd was that you say we pray 7 times a day. please explain! do you say morning-eavening-night and the hours? (that takes a while, trust me!)
oh, one more Q. you are Greek Orthodox? those look like Coptic Icons.
matteus chapter 12:41 The men of the Ninwe (arameans,assyrians,suryoye,chaldeans) will rise at the judgement day and will be responsible in the midle east, becouse they belived in jesus, and behold they will be mighty ! ii say the day is soon i want to bring all my brothrs and serve god in the name of messiah in ourocupied countrys thereour blood is spiled just becouse we belive in him
I love this. I am Catholic. I converted from Protestantism. I pray for Catholic-Orthodox unity, where Catholic will be called Orthodox and Orthodox will be called Catholic. Amen.
Not to be uncharitable, but that won't happen. Rome has allowed its heresies to become too ingrained. Now should The RCC ever renounce these errors, it will no longer be what we have today.
i love u mohammed,jesus,isa,mosa,yakoob(jakoob) i love u all u all are the true messengers of god it is we people who don,t understand this.i love u god thanks for sending your prophets for the guidence of mankind.
I am Christian when I came to the coptic church to see what it is all about. I did struggle with it at 1st then more in the service I was able to follow the book without help. I have to admit I do find their service ways very enlightening and will be going again.
Orthodoxy is not about methods of praying, or "magical" tips about it. It's all about being free from passions and praying to our Lord with your own words! Greetings from Greece!
Not to be offensive, but you don't seem to know much about Orthodox prayer. You're right that it isn't about magical tips, but the Orthodox Church is a liturgical church. No Christian prays on his own, but rather always with the whole church, to which he is united. Its fine to use your own words during prayer, but there are certainly prescribed prayers to be recited daily. The Psalms or the Jesus Prayer are examples. I think you need to read a bit more into the Orthodox tradition of prayer.
My friend. I think that you misunderstood me !!!! What I ment was that if you want to experience "magical" things into Orthodoxy is wrong and totally off!!! Elder Efraim Katounakiotis (Mount Athos) used to say that if you don't understand what your saying, it's better to pray in your own words. Orthodoxy is not like Black Magic, or any other "religion". It's your heart that matters, not practises.... Seems that I do know something, don't I?
i mostly agree with you but jesus says "pray without ceasing" and what should be the purpose of never using my own words, opening my very own heart to Him?
I don't think kustacma is saying that one ought to neglect the liturgical practices of the church... He is discussing private prayer. And I disagree with your comment that "No Christian prays on his own". Christians pray without ceasing--both in church and out of church, and both alone and among other believers. And if you took the time to watch the whole video, he discusses use of a prayer book and praise books, which include many psalms. Thanks.
Where can someone learn how to pray? I was muslim, and converted to Orthodoxy a few months ago. I am Egyptian, and want to pray using the COPTIC method. Is there a video that shows someone how to prostrate and kneel correctly? Please.
Ill try to post one for you soon. However, Orthodox prostration closely resembles muslim prostration with the exeption of the addition of the metanoia. Any additional questions, feel free to message me.
I looked and couldn't find one for you. However, God is fine with however you express your love for Him. Have Jesus's love in your heart. Love Jesus, yourself, and those around you, and pray with your whole heart and soul. If possible, you can go to a Coptic church.
The seven times per day refers to the ancient practice of set hours of prayer. They are Matins (~5am), first hour (~7am), third hour (~9am), 6th hour (~12pm), 9th hour (~3pm), vespers (evening) and midnight office. They correspond to particular times of events in the life of Christ (such as the 6th hour when Christ was crucified and the 9th hour when he died) or were passed down to us from Jewish tradition. In Acts 10:9 we read that Peter went to the roof at the 6th hour to pray, etc.
This is not the only time that we pray! We are supposed to pray continuously. Having set times helps us to pray continuously. When not doing formal prayers, we can pray extemporaneously in our hearts or use the Jesus prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. We have prayer ropes to help us with this practice.
Since most of us can't keep the 7 hours (unless you are a monk, childless, unemployed, self employed) we have condensed Morning and Evening prayers.
Im all for christian ecumenism which means the uniting of all the churches for the common goal of worhiping our god Jesus. I dont claim to know all about the scriptures but it should be our job as Christians with our gift of discernment to understand the bible not have someone tell us what to believe. Whatever man it really doesn't matter wel' all see each other in heaven.
Ecumenism is no heresy, because it does not necessarily require that all Christians must unite in one church. Ecumenism means a dialogue between Christians so that we may understand each other better, and that we dont fight each other, but love each other as true children of God should indeed love each other. Because we are all brothers in Christ our lord, and he will save us all, and we will all dwell in his Kingdom forever.
my friend if we read the Bible 1000 times in our lifetime which im sure some have done. We still couldnt understand it 100% its what u can call a mystery of God. We should submit to the interperatations of the Church Fathers bc if u read some of the texts, like in psalms and do not understand it well enough some of it can look Contradictory, so it is best to submit to the wisdom of the people who cannonized these books in the first place.
read deep into the scriptures and youl see that sence Jesus Christ was seen by men it is not wrong to paint an image of him, it was wrong to paint an interperation of God the Father in the OT bc no man has seen him and he was not flesh. Jesus Christ was made flesh people could see him and touch him therefore it is not Idolatry.
Praying 7 times a day does not mean you need to have a mass or a 1hr prayer 7 times a day.. You should remember God in your heart 7 times a day and praise him even if you're working or at school keep him in your mind, before you eat you can thank God for his blessing etc, (these are prayers) and of course everyone is different and everyone has a special relationship with God.
there was an evil clown that hunted and killed a woman in 1505 and now that your reading this DONT STOP.if you doont post this to 10 videos in 5 hours that same evil clown we sit at the end of your bed with a machete and glowing red eyes so BEWARE
dear sir, please note that the coptic church is in communion with the other orthodox sister churches, there was a mistake because coptic were thought to be monophysites, but we are not, so we have the same orthodox faith as others, go and speak with a coptic if you want to find our beautifull and beloved jesus christ. god bless you
At the council of chalcedon the churches had a misunderstanding/disagreement.This was that the Greek, Roman, and other patriarchates thought we only believed in one nature of our lord Jesus Christ; however, we believe in two natures divine and human which combined into perfection to form one nature at the incarnation. The other churches believe the same but speak about it differently sometimes addressing Christ as being divine in one instance or human in another.
I belong to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and I would just like to thank you so much for sharing such parts of your life. May God guide you and bless all your good deeds!
I adore my Mother Mary because God chose her and Christ told us behold your Mother and i Love her as my Mother and she loves us as her children, for that reason she prays for us that we all may be one with the Lord Jesus Christ.Those who are in Heaven and here on earth are my family and they pray Blessings for us.
God bless you, kustacma10. This is a beautiful explanation of Orthodox prayer life. Regarding phialen's request for Greek Orthodox prayers: In Orthodoxy, we are considered Orthodox Christians, with our ethnic backgrounds being secondary to that. In other words, I am not Greek Orthodox (or Russian, or Albanian Orthodox, etc.) but rather, I am an Orthodox Christian, and attend a Greek (or other) Orthodox Church.

@machineof Paranoid gibberish. For the record, I am seeking conversion to the Orthodox Church. Anytime I hear/read someone take the whole idea of the Illuminati seriously, I roll my eyes.
He is Coptic Orthodox which is part of the Oriental Orthodox Church and they are in communion with the Ethiopian, Syriac, and Armenian Churches. The Greek Orthodox Church is part of the Eastern Orthodox Church which is made up of the Churches of Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, Moscow, Romania, Serbia, etc. The Eastern Orthodox Church is not in communion with the Oriental Orthodox Church.
I was refering to the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria when I was typing that. Yes, there are the Oriental and the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchs in Alexandria.

@jabames a romanian orthodox priest said, "as you always need to breathe in order to live, the same way you need to pray, constantly, for what is prayer, other than a constant communion with Our Lord, a constant connection with Him who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life." So, prayer is necessary at all times.

a person who continualy prays in faith, and recieves, making praying several times in one day a value, infact sometimes its best to never stop prayer, infact i think tahts how its sapost to be, in a constant state of prayer and faith. sounds wonderful :)

I'm not an orthodox Christian I'm just wondering can someone tell me if you pray to Mary? And if so why? Thanks :)
stavvy95 1 year ago
@stavvy95 yes we Orthodox do pray to the Theotokos a title which implies that her Son is both fully man and fully God. In obedience to God's clear intentions in Luke 1:48, therefore, the Orthodox church honors Mary in icons, hyms, and special feast days. We entreat her, as the human being who was most intimate with Christ on earth, to intercede with her Son on our behalf. We ask her, as the first believer and the mother of the Church, for guidance and protection.
TheMikerussian 1 year ago 2
@stavvy95 We venerate her, but we do not worship her, for worship belongs to God alone. We sing this hymn which expresses MAry's unique place in creation. "It is truly right to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blesses and most pure, and the mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word: True Theotokos, we magnify you." May your faith grow in the Lord my friend!
TheMikerussian 1 year ago
@stavvy95 She's the Mother of God, so when we pray 2 Mary, we ask 4 her 2 pray 4 us, and 2 intercede & us f we need help in anything. Many people think that when Christians pray 2 Mary or 2 saints, we r worshiping them, but we r not, we venerate them becaue they lived holy lives, becaues they r in heaven, & we ask them 4 help in our daily lives, & ask them 2 pray to God 4 us to save us & help us. We believe that just as angels r spirits that can help us, saints can help us 2, but they arent gods

is the coptic orthodox church in communion with the greek, russian, serbian, etc. orthodox churches around the world?
TheMikerussian 1 year ago
@TheMikerussian There are two orthodox churches: the Oriental and the Eastern orthodox church. Oriental orthodox= Coptic, Armenia, Syria, Ethiopia, India. Eastern orthodox = Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova... Both churches are practically the same. The devision arose as a result of misunderstanding. Both chruches are talking about reunification again.

@ggrean oh okay thank you for the clairificaiton, because I do remember there being a split in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church from the Fourth Ecumanical Council about the nature of Christ our Lord, but I wasn't sure if the Coptic Orthodox church reunified with the Eastern Orthodox church because we both believe in the same idea that Christ has two natures one fully man and one fully god.

@TheMikerussian The Orthodox Church is is Orthodox wether it's in America, Greece, Russia etc., the only difference is the language the people use. People say they're Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox (etc.) because that's the country where they are from, or their parents are from/the Church they were born into or the church they attend. The Coptic Church is not Orthodox, the two almost the same, except for some theological differences they have (same with the Georgian church)

@pccrazy1000 Peace...did you write that the 'Coptic Church is not Orthodox'? Or am I not reading carefully? The defenders of Christendom are the Copts. I am happy that most orthodox Churches keep tradition, but the Coptic Patriarchs and Saints have to be blessed and praised, because She is the Church of Martyrs for a reason.

@pccrazy1000 the Coptic Church is Oriental Orthodox, and is certainly Orthodox, in that they have retained and still practice the ancient traditions of the Church, and hold the same doctrines. there is Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, and while the Christology is somehwhat different (miaphysite vs. chalcedonian), both are Apostolic, and faithful in doctrine and practice.
graceinmay 1 year ago
@TheMikerussian All orthodox churches hold the same theological beliefs, they only differ in minor matters like how many times 2 cross urself before kissing an icon. The Orthodox church, of course doesn't have 1 head, like the Catholic church, each country has a head, and the patriarchy of each country can declare people who were godly enough 2 b saints who lived within the boundaries of that counrty, by Orthodox theological reasoning.

You have some beautiful icons, and the background chanting is beautiful. Prayer is SO very importent...I pray 3 times a day in the privecy of my own room with my icons and then I pray the Jesus Prayer ("Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner") throughout the day even if I'm in the middle of something. I love being apart of the Orthodox Church...I love being able to ask God's holy Saints and Angels for their intercesion and aid too. Thanks to God I'm now employed again. :)

Yes, Prayer is a beautiful thing. When I became Orthodox, I was enchanted by the fact that I must pray. It's not like with the rest of my family, who ask God for things occasionally. I pray morning-afternoon-evening. one thing that struck me as odd was that you say we pray 7 times a day. please explain! do you say morning-eavening-night and the hours? (that takes a while, trust me!)
oh, one more Q. you are Greek Orthodox? those look like Coptic Icons.

Orthodoxy is not about methods of praying, or "magical" tips about it. It's all about being free from passions and praying to our Lord with your own words! Greetings from Greece!
kiato82 2 years ago
Not to be offensive, but you don't seem to know much about Orthodox prayer. You're right that it isn't about magical tips, but the Orthodox Church is a liturgical church. No Christian prays on his own, but rather always with the whole church, to which he is united. Its fine to use your own words during prayer, but there are certainly prescribed prayers to be recited daily. The Psalms or the Jesus Prayer are examples. I think you need to read a bit more into the Orthodox tradition of prayer.
TheProtomartyr 2 years ago
My friend. I think that you misunderstood me !!!! What I ment was that if you want to experience "magical" things into Orthodoxy is wrong and totally off!!! Elder Efraim Katounakiotis (Mount Athos) used to say that if you don't understand what your saying, it's better to pray in your own words. Orthodoxy is not like Black Magic, or any other "religion". It's your heart that matters, not practises.... Seems that I do know something, don't I?

I don't think kustacma is saying that one ought to neglect the liturgical practices of the church... He is discussing private prayer. And I disagree with your comment that "No Christian prays on his own". Christians pray without ceasing--both in church and out of church, and both alone and among other believers. And if you took the time to watch the whole video, he discusses use of a prayer book and praise books, which include many psalms. Thanks.

ESEME11 2 years ago
The seven times per day refers to the ancient practice of set hours of prayer. They are Matins (~5am), first hour (~7am), third hour (~9am), 6th hour (~12pm), 9th hour (~3pm), vespers (evening) and midnight office. They correspond to particular times of events in the life of Christ (such as the 6th hour when Christ was crucified and the 9th hour when he died) or were passed down to us from Jewish tradition. In Acts 10:9 we read that Peter went to the roof at the 6th hour to pray, etc.
coveredchristian 2 years ago
This is not the only time that we pray! We are supposed to pray continuously. Having set times helps us to pray continuously. When not doing formal prayers, we can pray extemporaneously in our hearts or use the Jesus prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. We have prayer ropes to help us with this practice.
Since most of us can't keep the 7 hours (unless you are a monk, childless, unemployed, self employed) we have condensed Morning and Evening prayers.

Im all for christian ecumenism which means the uniting of all the churches for the common goal of worhiping our god Jesus. I dont claim to know all about the scriptures but it should be our job as Christians with our gift of discernment to understand the bible not have someone tell us what to believe. Whatever man it really doesn't matter wel' all see each other in heaven.

Ecumenism is heresy, never comprimise the truth of the first church of Christ with the heretics!!!!
"Guard youself from soul destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ." -St. Theodore
"No one shall join in prayers with heretics or schismatics." - Canon 33 of the council of Laodicea
Spinoda7 2 years ago
Ecumenism is no heresy, because it does not necessarily require that all Christians must unite in one church. Ecumenism means a dialogue between Christians so that we may understand each other better, and that we dont fight each other, but love each other as true children of God should indeed love each other. Because we are all brothers in Christ our lord, and he will save us all, and we will all dwell in his Kingdom forever.

my friend if we read the Bible 1000 times in our lifetime which im sure some have done. We still couldnt understand it 100% its what u can call a mystery of God. We should submit to the interperatations of the Church Fathers bc if u read some of the texts, like in psalms and do not understand it well enough some of it can look Contradictory, so it is best to submit to the wisdom of the people who cannonized these books in the first place.
Nickbully 2 years ago 3
read deep into the scriptures and youl see that sence Jesus Christ was seen by men it is not wrong to paint an image of him, it was wrong to paint an interperation of God the Father in the OT bc no man has seen him and he was not flesh. Jesus Christ was made flesh people could see him and touch him therefore it is not Idolatry.

Why do Orthodox Christians pray 7 times a day - Is this in the BIBLE ? Is this a commandment from Jesus ? Is this a commandment from GOD ?

It is in the Bible. Look at Psalm 118 (119 in Western Bibles): "Seven times a day have I praised Thee for the judgments of Thy righteousness".
theoned90 2 years ago 2
Praying 7 times a day does not mean you need to have a mass or a 1hr prayer 7 times a day.. You should remember God in your heart 7 times a day and praise him even if you're working or at school keep him in your mind, before you eat you can thank God for his blessing etc, (these are prayers) and of course everyone is different and everyone has a special relationship with God.

At the council of chalcedon the churches had a misunderstanding/disagreement.This was that the Greek, Roman, and other patriarchates thought we only believed in one nature of our lord Jesus Christ; however, we believe in two natures divine and human which combined into perfection to form one nature at the incarnation. The other churches believe the same but speak about it differently sometimes addressing Christ as being divine in one instance or human in another.
