The amount of IGNORANCE regarding the Holy Eastern Orthodox Church is astounding. Post what you know... if anything.

Aren’t they the ones that go diving for a cross in a lagoon down in Florida every winter?

911 was Coptic Christian New Year.

Why should I care?

I know what you mean. It was Aristotle that told "Alexander," when he headed toward India to "not waste time taking back precious metals and gems, bring back the 'Vedic Scriptures,' and some Sages that can interpret them."
It is a well forgone conclusion by many scholars that it was the Greeks who founded modern Christianity, but that the Greeks selected and chose what to adopt from India's Scriptures - hence, from Krishna (India's Godhead), to Kristos (Greek), to Christ.

Here is a link providing Archeological proof. Way before the story of Jesus Greeks were practicing India's religion involving Krishna:

I've been to museums in Greece. On some of the ancient pottery, sculptures, etc., you can see the "dot-head" on the forehead between the eyes, which we all that comes from Indian Culture.

It's also been reported that Pythagorus was inducted as a Brahmin and given the name "Yavancharia." It is well documented of his trip to India.

I was born and raised Orthodox.

you worship icons

I don't worship icons.

What do you think a Corpse on a Cross is?

What do you think a corpse on a cross is, or a burning bush?

They have an upside down cross

What do you think a corpse on a cross is?

So you are calling Jesus Christ a corpse?

The chief patriarch has a fold down cross on the top of his holy hat for when he's riding in vehicles.

Kinda cool, actually.

I'm telling the person who said he didn't worship Icons that he was being a hypocrite.

Its a declaration of faith, nobody worships the cross. It is the moment in time where the dark side knew they had won, but actually lost permanently.

Hallelujah! Praised is the name of YAHUAH!

Interesting.

Have you read any Godfrey Higgins?


There’s also this:

You still don't get it. Jesus's job is to serve God. If you worship God, then Jesus, Mary and Joseph are satisfied. That's the entire premiss of India's Krsna. You don't worship, you serve God. Like the hand and feet, etc., work to keep the stomach satisfied, and that keeps them functioning, if you work to serve the "Center," or "God," then everything else is also being served through that process.
The Latin branch of early Christianity broke away from the Greek Orthodox, and that's when more changes were made when the Vatican got involved.

Some of the information above is a hard pill to swallow, for most Christians, like it was for me at first, but it doesn't mean you are following the wrong religion, just focus more on GOD.
The "Bhagavad Gita (Hindus Bible), As It Is," has God's name on every page of that book. How many times is God mentioned in the Bible? Not as much.
"Bhagavad Gita," translates to "Song/Poem of God." Bhagdad (city of God, in Sanskrit) was the original Sanskrit name and it was, at one time, the Vedic Cultural Center of the world. When the Muslims sacked the place, the forbid the use of any Vedic references, but the name stuck. The Atheists have been destroying all of the Archeological history in the Middle East now, for years, trying to hide more of the history.
I'm not trying to convert anybody. We are in a battle of the Believers against the Non-Believers and the non-believers have been getting a leg up. This an Epic battle we are involved in now - Good against Evil, so we all have to stick together. I think people should stop saying "My God," as if one is different from the other.
You are either a believer, or non-believer. We have to practice our own faiths, that's fine, but not each other.

I'm impressed with the replies!

Keep it up!

Mother of God, really? facepalm

The only thing you can worship is God, not false idols.

Jesus was God in the flesh, thru The Holy Spirit..

You being stuck on that question is your own fault of comprehension...you won't accept an answer because your whole point is to argue.

The Eastern Orthodox Church is just a front for the Russian mafia and they help Soviet secret agents spy in other countries.

If you go into one of their churches with those funny Russian onions on top, they will kill you unless you know the Eastern Orthodox password: NNcyc Kpyt

RELIGION is mind control. Free your mind from theology & dogma.

Nice music.

What about Greek, Coptic, Serbian, Japanese, Ethiopian?

I used the word Ignorant for a reason.

Religion yes, but not the church that Christ and the Apostles built. We have records of the desert fathers and their struggles in the first few centuries.

Example.

Anthony or Antony the Great (Greek: Ἀντώνιος Antṓnios; Arabic: القديس انطونيوس بادية مصر‎; Latin: Antonius; Coptic: Ⲁⲃⲃⲁ Ⲁⲛⲧⲱⲛⲓ; c. 12 January 251 – 17 January 356), was a Christian monk from Egypt, revered since his death as a saint. He is distinguished from other saints named Anthony such as Anthony of Padua, by various epithets of his own: Saint Anthony, Anthony of Egypt, Anthony the Abbot, Anthony of the Desert, Anthony the Anchorite, and Anthony of Thebes. For his importance among the Desert Fathers and to all later Christian monasticism, he is also known as the Father of All Monks. His feast day is celebrated on 17 January among the Orthodox and Catholic churches and on Tobi 22 in the Coptic calendar.

Who are the Old Believers?

Why is there a schism with them and Orthodoxy?

The Coptic’s?

Are you talking about the East/West split in 1054 when the Pope in Rome when full authority mode and the others wouldn't have it?
