Thanks fellas, just picked up some MM and will look for the others!
Semantics = Study of meaning in language

Heresy = theological or religious opinion or doctrine maintained in opposition, or held to be contrary, to the ‘catholic’ or orthodox doctrine of the Christian Church.

So in that case, semantics matter as the Church from its beginning at Pentecost has anathemized Bishops/Popes holding heretical beliefs/teachings.

There are several dogmas held by Roman Catholicism that Orthodox find to be heretical and therefore, why we are not in communion.

My background is I grew up in a nominal Baptist home, and in my journey to truly know Christ, I attended the whole gamut of Evangelical denominations and it wasn’t till I was sitting on a deer stand in north MS one cold January day in 2019 that I just cried out to GOD to show me His Church I read about in Acts and that He promised the gates of Hell would not prevail against…

He opened my eyes like a newborn and brought me home to Orthodoxy. I pray for His mercy and grace on all my Christian brothers who read this to seek the “fullness of the Faith” in Holy Orthodoxy.

Lord have mercy on us all and I thank those taking the time to discuss this here.

God bless you and TD above and appreciate this conversation.

Regarding Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, there are 500 years of separation that have led us on divergent paths however, in Christ, all Truth is found and in Him only, is where we find salvation.

St. Saavas the Sanctified (533 A.D.) said, “We shall never accept any innovation in matters of the Faith. We shall persist in all things the God-bearing Fathers have bequeathed to us, both those of the first Council of Nicea, being 318 in number, and those of the three Ecumenical Synods.

And we are prepared not only to suffer every form of punishment but even to receive a myriad of deaths rather than to deviate from Orthodoxy in the least!”

This was and is the spirit of the Church of the Lamb Who takes away the Sins of the World.
I think you’re asking which jurisdiction…my home Parish is ROCOR but I attend Antiochian as well as OCA parishes when traveling.

100% of my Parish are former Protestants and RC’s.
Bless you brother for engaging in a discussion with me. As an Orthodox Christian, I would love for my Roman Catholic and Protestant brethren to join with the Orthodox as one Church.

The Wiki page is interesting and highlights some major issues; however, the scars from 1000 years of the Great Schism or Divorce can not be even covered well in this forum.

So many outstanding resources out there for those seeking our Lord and Redeemer and His Church.

Errors of the Roman Catholics

Appreciate it
What split the Roman from the other Patriarchates primarily was the doctrine on the procession of the Holy Spirit (Filioque) and the Pope's claim to universal jurisdiction.

The Dormition of Mary, the Theotokos, is also celebrated by the Orthodox as well.

The modern Roman Catholic practice and liturgies are VERY different then the unchanging Orthodox Church.
The Patriarchates of the Orthodox Church changed absolutely nothing as passed down in tradition and in practice…either you’re being disingenuous or don’t know the history of the Church.

Where at in Area 4 are you? When do y’all normally see rut there? I’m just south of Centreville and usually don’t see them at it till near end of Dec.
The ROMAN Catholic Church after 1054 is no longer part of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church…so why be shocked at the evil and corruption that is rampant amongst its clergy?







Gents,

Please advise of any whiskeys that you know of that have a sweet taste without added ingredients or flavorings such as Jack Daniels Honey, etc.

Thank you!
48 downvotes…the lack of logic, compassion and mercy is disheartening.

As gents have said, Branson is now TYM and they are largest tractor manufacturer in S. Korea.

Mahindras are great, especially with Mitsubishi diesels, HOWEVER, getting parts is often difficult.

My friend, who asks such a question about killing an animal yet then says they wouldn't actually do so? A strange bird you are.
