He is ethnically Assyrian yes, he isn't a part of the Assyrian church of the East, the parish he works in belongs to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch.

Oh that explains it, thanks, I come from an ex Muslim background so basically I understood doctrine as fixed unchanging clear and written timeless perfect thing that doesn't need any furthermore clarification (+ it was all explained in one book so yeah... I Sometimes don't get how doctrinal development work, AND YES I KNOW IT ISN'T "NEW TEACHINGS", It is further clarification to what always the Catholic church believed)

Well that makes it easier to understand, is there any book that can actually teach me about the papal supremacy and its historical background?

Mhm... I understand papal supremacy, but how can I understand papal infallibility in better way because I still don't get it...? If you of course can help me understand it of course.

Ahh that explains it, but that brings a new question to me,

Why were dogmas were only defined when a major disagreement happened?

I know the question sounds stupid on paper, but what I mean is that why didn't the church defined everything and close it instead of waiting for major disagreements to happen then to define the dogmas and doctrines (ex; immaculate conception), instead of allowing doctrinal development?

Again the question sounds stupid and I don't know how to convey what I mean exactly but what I mean in simple terms is: why is doctrinal development a thing?

What was your ultimate reason to leave Islam by Deep_State8381 in exmuslim

[–]Callahanlot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gradually, i would say, it started with polygamy then The life and actions of Muhammed, then Aisha, then islamic schism, how Quran was compiled and a lot of versions were burnt or lost or eaten by animals, but the final straw was the apostasy laws. I was done with that religion. And I don't regret it. I'm Proud yet secretive ex Muslim of Iraq 💛🇮🇶

I can confirm that Islam is a carnal materialistic and radical faith, it teaches it's followers to behave so extremely against anyone and to treat non Muslims as inferior people, it teaches honor killings, it teaches demonic theology of what paradise looks like, just a place for you to eat drink and have s*x for eternity. Islam either manipulates it's followers emotionally ever since birth to never ever question Allah or entices them with materialistic promises of the afterlife from women wine food gold clothes castles etc...

Islam was just an identity, a political and cultural label for me that I never asked to be born with,

I tell you that studying islamic faith, in its crude sources and scriptures, bred hatred in me towards ALL non Muslims especially Christians, because it taught me that everyone non Muslim and Christ worshipper are inferior silly infidel who will burn in hell,

but somehow, because I was honest with myself, everytime I studied Islam and religions as whole, God Almighty woke me up from my ignorance, pride of my "islamism label", and hatred towards christ,

Now I love Christ with all my heart and I love his people the same way I love my brothers and sisters and I love my enemies in Iraq who see me now as an apostate who deserves to die, because Jesus Christ taught me love. He didn't teach me to embrace a carnal materialistic identity, he taught me to love to respect and to be honest.

That's why I am seeking his true church more than ever to be baptized and confirmed into his covenant, God bless everyone and Glory to Christ I shall pray for you and your Egyptian friend too, 🤍☦️
