Yes very different.People equate Lutheranism with Catholicism too. And that’s completely false.

So you accept the New Testament as the word of god ?You are thinking of orthodox jews. I am talking about eastern orthodox christianity. The russians, the greeks, the serbians, the Ukranians (until recently), the Armenians, the Romanians, Georgian etc are all in communion with each other. It's like McDonalds, we all serve communion the same way and so I am welcome to receive it in any of those churches. Billions served. It awaits you when you are ready.
he doesn't either apparently he can't articulate what they believe or provide any supporting documentation or text.I don’t know shit about orthodoxy. I assumed it was all Old Testament stuff, primarily for Jews and Muslims.
I've tried asking that 10 times, He won't answer.So you accept the New Testament as the word of god ?
Yes, it is core to orthodoxy. We read it every sunday at church and have daily readings for the home.So you accept the New Testament as the word of god ?
All you do is copy/paste a bible passage and then say "See?! told ya so!!!" It ends there and it's retarded. Then later when you're not getting any traction you start melting down, calling names, etc.he doesn't either apparently he can't articulate what they believe or provide any supporting documentation or text.
wasn't a personal attack, I don't even know you or what you look like.More personal attacks, another easy out. I'm sure this will go over real well for all the people out there reading who you might have otherwise 'saved' with your ironclad grasp of theology and scripture.
yet he says mary was sinless.Yes, it is core to orthodoxy. We read it every sunday at church and have daily readings for the home.
That's why I stopped replying to his posts. He'll wreck my peace with his heretical nonsense and misguided anger.All you do is copy/paste a bible passage and then say "See?! told ya so!!!"

So is there a main difference between orthodoxy and Protestantism or is it a bunch of stuff that’s difficult for someone to understand unless they study it ?Yes, it is core to orthodoxy. We read it every sunday at church and have daily readings for the home.
did you "defer to von" before you wrote that?All you do is copy/paste a bible passage and then say "See?! told ya so!!!" It ends there and it's retarded. Then later when you're not getting any traction you start melting down, calling names, etc.
nah he stopped replying because he cannot back up what he claims.That's why I stopped replying to his posts. He'll wreck my peace with his heretical nonsense and misguided anger.
I just asked @Thumbpicker for a clear example of an orthodox practice or tradition that contradicts scripture, and to cite the scripture it contradicts. You interceded to tell him not to 'cause you've already answered (Which you haven't.) You wouldn't even cite a post #. Basically you're a hero in your own mind and the reality of someone challenging you is not something you can handle.wasn't a personal attack, I don't even know you or what you look like.
just affirming what everyone else here has seen.
"ask von"
" i defer to von"
" i don't know, ask von"
and I don't save anyone the Lord does. calling you an insect because you have behaved like one doesn't change that.
I think he's been thrown off one too many bulls at the rodeo churchThat's why I stopped replying to his posts. He'll wreck my peace with his heretical nonsense and misguided anger.
ok here it is again. read slow, I know reading is hard. In context this is the scripture amongst countless others that clearly states mary was sinful.I just asked @Thumbpicker for a clear example of an orthodox practice or tradition that contradicts scripture, and to cite the scripture it contradicts. You interceded to tell him not to 'cause you've already answered (Which you haven't.) You wouldn't even cite a post #.

Orthodoxy holds the scriptures and holy tradition together in harmony. Protestantism pretends like the first 200 years of the church (which came before NT scripture as a whole) doesn't exist and is not valid yet their own pastors attend bible college and generally part of that is a study of the early church fathers and their writings. If you've only attended protestant services and then attended an orthodox one you would feel like they were two different religions because in many ways, they are. In protestantism the sermon is the central part of the service. In orthodoxy communion with Christ is what the entire service revolves around. A long sermon in orthodoxy would be like 15 minutes. We are busy worshipping. The protestants just talk mostly.So is there a main difference between orthodoxy and Protestantism or is it a bunch of stuff that’s difficult for someone to understand unless they study it ?
