In 2014 I was still atheist but discovered “The Red Pill” the original TRP on Reddit. That was when I realized the many different rabbit holes to go down. Long story short, I was baptized and chrismated into the EO church 5 years ago. Now, I’m married and expecting my 4th child in September. Praise be to God. Huge changes in 10 years.
Listen to songs by Danica Crnogorcevic, a Serbian woman who sings ethnic Orthodox songs, for example "Govori Gospode" or "Vila sa Kosara". You can also find an English translation and understand the words.
Haha, as typical hyperconnected Greek fashion, I know the guy who runs that "Orthodox Meme Squad" channel. But yeah, people are turning to Orthodoxy more so now because the world is pushing them in that direction. It's a great and terrible time to be alive.
I agree with your observations about he return to more conservative forms of religious devotion in Christianity, and the reasons are varied. But i wouldn't discount the faith of Slavic women.
Because all those people are spiritually thirsty. Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink." IC XC NI KA
My father always said he converted to Polish after getting married because even if the Polish got drunk on Saturday they would go to mass Sunday even with a hangover which was much better than his Italian family would do
Religion is making a comeback but what should come as no surprise to someone with your level of knowledge is that it’s conservative religion that’s making a comeback, the type that makes no compromise over its principles and practices with the modern world. That means Eastern Orthodoxy. It means old style High Church Anglicanism. It means pure Gospel fundamentalist Protestantism. It means Latin rite traditional Catholicism. It means Orthodox Judaism. And it means pure Quranist (That is Quran-only) Islam as opposed to the Sunni and Shiite (Hadith and Sira oriented) nonsense that dominates the Muslim world today. What is not flourishing and in fact is shrinking rapidly is politically correct social justice religion that mimics the Left. The kind that doesn’t know what gender they are.
If a Serbian guy told you about women who are going to church are like that it's more likely that he's the one living like that. We see things how we are not how they are . I know lots of women who are real believing practicing orthodox. Just stick to the Faith and take an example on Saints not on bad examples
What is the difference between a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox? Does this have to do with the great schism that occurred about a thousand years ago?
Yes. It has to do with it and many things before. But over all it's because of the pope's unilateral change to the creed, which he couldn't do, but did anyway.
Yes. The main differences lie in the nuances of the interpersonal relationships within the Trinity (look up the Filioque controversy for more information), views on the Pope’s relationship to the Church, views on Hell/Purgatory, and various other doctrines.
The difference is that pope Leo IX created a Pontifical State and claimed to be the heir of the western roman emperor in 1050. He recreated the Roman senate, the assembly of the cardinals wearing the senatorial purple. He also appointed a chancellor, cardinal Humbert de Moyenmoutier who went to Constantinople and generated a schism in 1054. Since then the Roman Church created her own set of dogmas : Only the Roman Pontiff is called universal (catholic). Salvation is gained by submission to the Roman Pontiff. After 1962 the Roman Church also changed her rites, architecture, art and started to push for a world government and a melting pot of religions. While the orthodox Church continued to practice the same rites, the same dogmas, same old architecture, same old art of icons, the same creed, the same sacraments since the Apostles. In a nutshell.
That does not explain any sects as they came into existence much later in history before those texts were written. What you can see however is that the Testaments clearly point to a singe church, so you must figure out which church that is. You should focus only on the 3 main branches (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholicsm, Protestantism) as other sects are offshoots of those branches.@im_b4k
It wasn't the entire hierarchy jst those bishops that actually lived in the Ottoman empire. No different than modern bishops operating in muslim countries or in pagan countries like India. You're thinking of the Patriarch of Constantinople. The Orthodox church does not depend on one single individual.
@@floridaman318 Didn't the schism officially happen when the bishops of Rome and Constantinople excommunicated each? After that the bishop of Constantinople was irrelevant?

It was that video in your thumbnail that started my journey into Orthodoxy ♥️
Same here ❤️

2014 was a very surreal year. Good on you for your accomplishments

Real Christianity ( nowadays called Orthodox) is not a religion, it's a Heavenly revelation of Thuth
2014-15 was roughly when I started watching your videos actually

@@Nasaj_Tengras All due to the bishop of rome's usurpation of church autority.
The Roman Catholic description of Jesus is fundamentally different than the Eastern Orthodox.
The difference is that pope Leo IX created a Pontifical State and claimed to be the heir of the western roman emperor in 1050. He recreated the Roman senate, the assembly of the cardinals wearing the senatorial purple. He also appointed a chancellor, cardinal Humbert de Moyenmoutier who went to Constantinople and generated a schism in 1054.

I am still trying to figure out the different sects of Christianity.

Orthodoxy is not a sect, it's the trunk.
How do modern Orthodox explain the centuries their hierarchy was beholden to the sultan?
It wasn't the entire hierarchy jst those bishops that actually lived in the Ottoman empire. No different than modern bishops operating in muslim countries or in pagan countries like India.
