The "real" religion. Christanon 04/21/19 (Sun) 09:54:58 12731f No.798829

Im very new to this.

But in most threads here, i read most people convert from catholic to orthodox. Did i read the wrong threads or is orthodox the "real" religion?

Yep, Orthodoxy is the one true apostolic church that Jesus built. Meanwhile, "Roman Catholicism" is effectively a sect established by the Frankish empire:

In case you want to learn about some of the crucial theological differences while you're at it as well:

Pray to God for guidance and make up your own mind with sincerity.

>Remember when Jesus said to beware the scribes and pharisees who wear long robes because they love the attention it gets them out in public? Lets not only keep wearing them 24/7 but also make them more attention grabbing.

Don't fall for the meme.

Numbers don't decide what is true.

A lot of people here convert to Orthodoxy because "Tradition", it's "based" and other nonsense that is not theological. I used to be like that, but found out Roman Catholism was true, at least to me, when I read about it's theology. In no way am I telling you which religion to choose, but you're a man now OP. You need to make your own decisions and find out for yourself if Orthodoxy is the truth or not.

They’re not separate religions. The word you’re looking for is denomination.

Christanon 04/21/19 (Sun) 11:54:58 fcf151 No.798855

This is the millionth thread about this subject. You won't find an answer here. Look out the theological differences between the two and the history of the schism and decide for yourself. And for the love of God, don't choose a denomination because it's "based".

Except that doesn't happen so I don't see what point you're trying to make. What you posted is only worn during the Liturgy or official events, priests wear either black robes or regular clothing when out and about.

This.

Although two years on I'm still studying and trying to figure it out

Nah, Orthodoxy is foolish and a meme. The OCA has like 20,000 members, so I don't know where you're getting these reports of mass conversion. Natural law is real, absolute divine simplicity is real, faith and reason is real. That said, Orthodoxy is apostolic and therefore ought to be regarded with much more respect than heretical Protestants.

>Implying that the OCA is the only Orthodox Church body in the US

It's not a good thing that there are more churches than just one, but there are so there are many more Orthodox thank just 20k.

>was true, at least to me

Relativism doesn't lead to the Truth as you've clearly shown.
