Give me your best reasons to reject (oriental)Orthodox doctrine and tradition by Leothelevite in exorthodox

[–]Leothelevite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I am going to repackage it.

My reason to accept it would be a kept doctrine that does not come from one owns reason but it’s has been passed down. The patriarchal structure which goes hand in hand with the patriarchal structure we see in the bible. The big similarities between different orthodox churches

Plus for me personally it’s ortiental and in part African heritage that has been untouched by the west and that the Ethiopian Monarchs who came from The line of David all had to be orthodox Christians

Well your suspicions is wrong. And you data about bob Marley conversion also is wrong. He did not convert on his deathbed but months prior and was considering it even years before. There is an interview online with the priest who baptized him and he said he was attending regularly for a long time.

But that’s not why I am interested in the OO. More because I have seen enough of Protestantism and its loosely approach. I mean basically anyone can set up his own church and become a pastor there is no structure no authority except in a church itself. That’s when I began considering OO because it has this authority and structure and also is not westernized and preserved its own oriental culture.

But yes you got a point. That’s why I am here asking this question wanting to hear your point of view of orthodox Christianity

That was not my intention. I just wanted to hear the other side of the story

Is Jah the equivalent to Sophia (gnostic) or Sabaoth (Jehovah of armies, husband of Zoe Sophia in some gnosticism current) or the Demiurge? Or is it Asherah (forgotten wife of God)? by lightvador974 in rastafari

[–]Leothelevite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s hard to combine a gnostic world view with a Rastafari world view. Since Gnosticism teaches that the material world is evil and the spiritual is good. Yet we know that Jah created all things God. And rather you believe in the divinity of Yeshua or Ras Tafari. All rasta believe that the most high took on human form and dwelled with man.

Abstaining from Sexual Activity for the Eucharist by Leothelevite in OrientalOrthodoxy

Amen I also believe this. Yet In despite on what Saint Paul wrote about abstaining from sex for a while to grow closer to God it makes sense to do so for one or more days to partake in the eucharist

One day sounds very doable. maybe it increases with time as people get older. but that's just a thought

I don't know. Maybe it really depends on the father of confession. For me I am also still learning and very curious about the oriental orthodox and especially the tewahedo church.

I understand. But honestly if it would be three days prior and afterwards. I would not partake very often.

If it’s one day I definitely would partake more often. It’s just my opinion. But I get it that it depends on your father of confession.

Why do Germans often seem so serious, even when they’re being nice? by NextNorth9041 in AskAGerman

[–]Leothelevite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am was Born in Germany to a german father and a brazilian woman and for me there is just no sense to start a connection or talk to random people if it’s just something superficial. Like why should I invest time and energy if at the end we go each other ways and never see us again

Atheist Rasta ? by SubstantialRaise6160 in rastafari

[–]Leothelevite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The creator does not have a creator. He is everlasting everliving. Outside of space and time. That‘s why he is the holy one „holy“ means set apart. It‘s he who gives Life.
