Hi, Justme... Yes the Eastern Orthodox vary somewhat as to which confessions are those with which they would agree. I don't think there is any problem with their agreement with Christendom as a whole in the ecumenical councils. They tend to put a lot of stock in the words of those they call the Apostolic Fathers. In that sense, they are a lot like the Roman Catholics and the Pentecostals. Where they would all differ is on WHO are the Apostolic Fathers after the death of John. They have a term Patriarch that is not easily achieved, but is right up there in authority. In the US the American Orthodox Church they have a pretty comprehensive compilation of their faith and practice. In Russian they have something called the Orthodox Confession of Moglias in 1643). There was some disagreement so there was a council in Jerusalem which produced the The Confession of Dositheus for Eastern Orthodoxy (1672). They are pretty strict in following the various Archdiocese to which they submit. I have had the opportunity to hear various Eastern Orthodox fathers give instruction. However, I am certainly no expert. In Him, Doc |

I find the statement made in Doc last post to be interesting and perhaps not totally correct. The statement is "They tend to put a lot of stock in the words of those they call the Apostolic Fathers. In that sense, they are a lot like the Roman Catholics and the Pentecostals." I believe the correct statement should be. In that sense they are a lot like all of Christianity that does not hold to the Reformed Theology. Let me add I believe Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Clearly establishes the fact the teaching of the patriarchs is critical and required to true Christianity. |

Please excuse the my misuse of the word "critical" I meant to say crucial. | ||||||
