THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH ~ WHY ORTHODOXY?

He keeps saying in the few vids I have seen, that Orthodoxy is the only way. This is what I reject. Protestantism is in my view is the clearest way, believe in the Bible and what God reveals by studying it. I don’t care about denominations but don’t like certain sects like Charismatics. Again, to keep saying here that everybody who doesn’t follow his teaching ends up in hell, is utterly dangerous and wrong. Jesus said to spread the word and the word of God is what matters. Not the bells and whistles of what this guy seems to believe in. He believes in tradition, I believe in the Bible and Gods Word.

The church was around but the cannon wasn't made into the new testament. But this is irrelevant because the text were written by the holy spirit which is God's Word. It was meant to be that the cannons are how they are. Whetherr the first church was established before the cannons came into agreement is irrelevant. The word of God always existed. In the beginning was the word. It was just made into text. The text is the source of authority. I believe that you just mean that reading the Bible is not the only way to receive God's word. You can receive it by preaching. Which is the parable of the women making the yeast.

I'm Orthodox Christian and couldn't find very fine and filtered way to explain, but now I can refer your explanation to any argument or debate. Thank you!! God bless you.

1 Corinthians 3, 1-20 describes a fractured, denominationalized (divided) Church, and warns against ANY defining camps under exclusive leadership in exclusive, manmade facilities and sub-cultures. You are just as much a son of the devil as all the rest!! You DARE to know better than GOD HIMSELF which souls are truly His????? Only YOUR group, you say??? Even the elect (I wouldn't call you that!) will be deceived! Fool!

I want to be Orthodox. Please pray for my wife. She refuses. 😢

Father, I am a Lutheran. I’ve been raised and educated in the Lutheran church for as long as I can remember. I found your videos, and it’s easy for me to see that God has blessed you with wisdom. I love my church and the people in it, but if I continue to practice as a Lutheran will I not be saved? Even if I accept Jesus as lord, seek relationship with God, and repent for my sinful ways, will I not receive the gift of salvation that Christ died to give us. This really troubles me, and while I’ll continue to pray about it, I ask for guidance.

"And call no one your father on earth, for One is your Father, the One in Heaven. Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Christ. But the greater of you shall be your servant. And whoever will exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever will humble himself shall be exalted." (Mat 23:9-12)

I am Roman Catholic, used to be a non denominational christian, but I am truly intrigued by the orthodox church and its tradition If I can get book recommendations of the early church fathers that would be great in my possible discernment to the orthodox church.

Comment only, the answer is his prophecy to himself in JOHN 5:43-45 the true Messiah said that he bears the name of the FATHER (YHWH name given to Moses) but that another name will come that he will be recognized. This pertains to the fake Messiah according to JOHN 5:43-45.

The one and only true church is the spiritual body Christ, which I have been spiritually baptized into by faith alone. No church membership, sacraments, or good deeds were involved in my joining to Christ’s body.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Catholicism and Orthodoxy are a complete waste of time, that’s if you know what the Bible says.

Orthodoxy is pagan whorship.

I’m catholic but I’m converting to orthodoxy

Vatican II have been slowly changing the teachings and result is that many Catholics went away from the churches although on paper, they're listed as Catholic believers. Yes, we need to be the part of church.

Why the Catholic Church it’s the church orthodox broke away from I don’t always like the church in honesty I’d prefer orthodoxy but in my opinion they’re the original Protestants and I don’t mean that to be disrespectful this is my understanding

So, what happens to my Lutheran grandmother when she passes? She is the most faithful loving person I have ever known, and has devoted her life to god as she knows him.

Im a Christian and dont hold to any denomination although i do see something beautiful in orthodoxy and also if i look in and around the holy land where the gospel was first recieved i see orthodoxy not Western protestant style church. My one question is does the orthodox church go out to the world to spread the gospel? As we are commanded to do? Which is something i do see within protestant churches. Genuine question

I've been confirmed in the Roman Catholic church as well as a member of a Protestant church. Within the last week, the Holy Spirit has brought me to look into Orthodox theology. WOW! How have I not known about this before? I feel as if I'm 'home'.

Many Christians followed the obviously demonic deceptions of medical tyranny since 2020 based on Paul's writings in Roman's 13. I was on fire at one point for God, but am now heart broken to have learned this and feel lost as the evil which has taken place and wake of human suffering is incomprehensible. What do those of us who are aware of this do with such an impossible burden?

It's a cult

thank you so much for this vid

Orthodoxy is based. Full stop. 💪😎

Submit to Rome ✝️🇻🇦✝️🇻🇦✝️

Seems you’re putting to much value on the institutions of man rather than Christ himself. Only through him can one be saved. The church has nothing to do with one’s salvation.

[Al-Quran, Surah al-Maidah, Verse 109 - 120 of 120, The Dialogue / Conversation Between Allah & Jesus (Prophet Jesus/'Isa, Peace Be Upon Him) On The Day Of Judgement]


﴿ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا أُجِبْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ﴾
[ المائدة: 109]
109. [Be warned of] the Day when Allah will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen"

﴿ إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا ۖ وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنجِيلَ ۖ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَتُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ بِإِذْنِي ۖ وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنكَ إِذْ جِئْتَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴾
[ المائدة: 110]
110. [The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."

﴿ وَإِذْ أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَى الْحَوَارِيِّينَ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِي وَبِرَسُولِي قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَاشْهَدْ بِأَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُونَ ﴾
[ المائدة: 111]
111. And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah]."

﴿ إِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ ۖ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴾
[ المائدة: 112]
112. [And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven? [Jesus] said," Fear Allah, if you should be believers."

﴿ قَالُوا نُرِيدُ أَن نَّأْكُلَ مِنْهَا وَتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَنَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ صَدَقْتَنَا وَنَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ ﴾
[ المائدة: 113]
113. They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses."

﴿ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ ۖ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ ﴾
[ المائدة: 114]
114. Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers."

﴿ قَالَ اللَّهُ إِنِّي مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنكُمْ فَإِنِّي أُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَابًا لَّا أُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴾
[ المائدة: 115]
115. Allah said, "Indeed, I will sent it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds."

﴿ وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ﴾
[ المائدة: 116]
116. And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

﴿ مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ ۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنتَ أَنتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ﴾
[ المائدة: 117]
117. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.

﴿ إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴾
[ المائدة: 118]
118. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

﴿ قَالَ اللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنفَعُ الصَّادِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ ۚ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۚ رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴾
[ المائدة: 119]
119. Allah will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment.

﴿ لِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴾
[ المائدة: 120]
120. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is within them. And He is over all things competent.

So.. you don't believe the church is the people?

We are christians as st Paul's time

THEY ARE BASHING OUR FAITH ABOUT THE IMAGES. I SHARED YOUR VIDEO BUT I TOLD THEM OFF BY SAYING. WHO??????? YOU WHO CAME JUST YESTERDAY AND DARE TO POINT FINGERS TO THE CATHOLIC AND BASHING ORTHODOXY. MOTHER CHURCH IS ORTHODOX. CATHOLIC OUR DAUGHTER AND PROTESTANT THE GRANDCHILD. THE CHILD OR THE GRANDCHILD HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL THE MOTHER SHE IS WRONG!!!

Nice n all...but , the True Apostolic Church that Christ set up was the One with the Chair of Peter...

Salvation is not found in the church, it is only found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Only He grants salvation through his act of obedience in going to the cross and dying for our sins to bring redemption to us and to be able to come to the Father and be counted as His children.

I think that anyone who is genuinely looking for the truth (and not something else, like e.g. spiritual comfort, meeting nice people or having pleasant feelings, or beautiful music, etc.) will finally come to the Orthodox Church. The main thing is to look for the Truth and not any other thing, even if this other thing is good and wonderful in itself.

Starts by saying that the truth is objective - 5 minutes later is asking who has the authority to decide the truth...

Hmm.

He’s right it’s in Rome though

Appreciate the conversation, just thinking how Jesus constantly met with the INDIVIDUAL. When did the woman ant the well received Christ…was it not in that moment? She received not from the church, but from Christ. Then immediately she was part of his church.

The Catholic Church is trying to promote Unity at all cost and it's very can two documents if that's what you're trying to promote here you'll burn in hell. I know that the Catholic Church Has Lifted the excommunication of your religion that you are no longer Heretics the same is true for the Protestants and all other denominations the Catholic Church Has Lifted the excommunication of Martin Luther he's no longer a heretic neither are the Protestants or any other denomination in the interest of unity.

First of all I would be a fool tonight question your credentials all your identity. You talk about the truth that is what is true from what is false and how are we to go about Discerning or judging Who You Are

The Eastern Orthodox religion is apostate just as Roman Catholicism. And no neither one is the true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. There filled with all kinds of heretical teaching’s, Gnosticism, idolatry and blasphemy. Study the Bible, follow God’s Word not man-made traditions.

The church that is raptured isn’t a congregation. It’s the people with Jesus in their hearts not their minds and the people that truly believe that Jesus is the messiah. The Holy Ghost dwells in the church, (the persons heart) . “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

To my impression, there is one church and the Orthodox traditions are part of it. For me to claim whatever part I were in were the one and only would verge on the sin against the Holy Spirit.

My perspective would be whatever ‘salvation’ is is by faith through grace rather than correctness, and whatever different traditions have as particular possessions is what the Holy One entrusts to them as stewardship for and on behalf of all, and thereby all, coming even from east and west, north and south, even with different stories, feast together.

I appreciate you perspectives and your sharing of faith, it is very helpful. However I would be careful in what you say Father.. you have some flawed concepts on the doctrines of the catholic church.. the pope is the vicar of Christ, not the head of the church and purgatory is mentioned in the bible through St. Pauls writings, and also through the holy saints of the church.

Orrhodox is a beautiful church however there are teachings Paul the apostle never taught for example faith+works salvation and only priests being saints even though the apostle Paul calls all of believers saints

God bless his body the church

So does orthodox combine justification and sanctification as the same process?

You can have communion in your house. You can confess to God in prayer. You can baptize yourself. You don't need an earthly head of "the church" to administer anything. The Holy Spirit is everywhere. I don't recall Jesus constructing buildings and stating come there for salvation.

Jesus Is The Alpha & Omega ☦️☦️🌍☦️🌏☦️🌎☦️🇬🇷☦️🇮🇱☦️🇺🇸✝️🕊✨Repent & Prophecy The Truth Everyone is Welcome❤🕊☦️

Bartholomew i, first orthodox pope? That's the accusation made against him. If baptised catholic entering orthodoxy,re- baptism or Chrismation only?

Much like there is " just one book " in ISLAM .

ORTHODOXY ? More like PARADOXY .

Nope, I couldn’t imagine the Apostle Paul and the other Jewish disciples kissing icons. You are NOT the “true Church”. You’re church distorts the Gospel of grace and you need to repent.
