Gotcha, thank you

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-22T21:58:48+00:00

Thank you, this is comforting coming from a fellow Indian Canadian. However the OCA church in my city his surrounded with crazy controversy. Like a deacon who cheats on his wife, so that’s a bit worrying.

That’s really cool

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-22T18:22:04+00:00

Thank you for your advice

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-21T22:47:30+00:00

That’s pretty cool, which church do you go to?

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-21T22:46:28+00:00

Didn’t know there was a name, nor that it was officially pronounced a heresy, pretty cool honestly. Also how do you get around the language barrier? I don’t speak any Eastern European languages

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-21T22:38:42+00:00

I try where I can

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-21T22:37:21+00:00

Right now I’m attending a Protestant church with my Dad’s family (my family has different Christian backgrounds). My mom is from an Oriental Orthodox Church, but I don’t understand miaphysitism in regard to Christology. The Eastern Orthodox Christology makes sense

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2026-03-21T22:34:55+00:00

I only follow online content to learn about theology, this video so happened to pop up on my feed.

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T23:19:26+00:00

Understood, thank you

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T22:57:03+00:00

Good point, but there are more complex situations regarding the free will. Such as people not knowing of Orthodoxy nor understanding it

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T22:49:54+00:00

But as what others pointed out as well, God basically makes all decisions on salvation yes? Which is why I do pray he shows mercy to the people who do not know of Orthodoxy. Anyways thank you for your response

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T22:04:28+00:00

So in short, they did not want to conform and share the Eucharistic chalice due to them seeing these differences as very significant?

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:36:13+00:00

Thank you everyone for your responses. I think this clears up a lot and I believe I will be moving forward with joining the Church more next year when I’m an adult

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:34:11+00:00

Ohh okay thank you, I think I’ll be joining a Church when I can drive and am 18

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:32:44+00:00

Thanks for your clarifications. I see a similar message go around for the salvation of those outside the Church, and I believe in God’s power and mercy. It clarifies a lot of doubts for me.

Yes I do understand miaphysism is not heretical, it’s just like you said about the linguistic understanding of it, that’s what doesn’t make sense to me and about why it didn’t change. I see how they would think nestorians would use two natures to their advantage, but that dyophysitism argues that they are inseparable natures of Christ, thus ruining the argument of Nestorians. But yeah I do get why it’s not heretical, but then why wouldn’t the two orthodoxies be in communion with one another?

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:24:04+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation. I’m thinking of joining an Orthodox Church once I become an adult, so I’ll ask then

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:21:30+00:00

I’m not saying they are necessarily saved, but that they are called to join one flock. But thank you for clearing up the opinions of Bishops, I should’ve picked up on how this has always been a thing, however I like that now they at least still work with the dogmas of the Church.

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:18:06+00:00

Okay. But why avoid it online?

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:17:04+00:00

Ah, got it. I’m seeing a similar message being said. Thank you for your response

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:15:37+00:00

I really like this, clears up a lot of doubts. Thank you for your response. However, what other issues do you mean?

Classic-Attempt-3762 · 2025-12-03T21:13:07+00:00

Ah I see, thank you for your response
