What's the difference between orthodoxy and protestantism?
@andys3035
Жыл бұрын
@johnalexis8284 a lot of differences. Protestantism is really varied, so I can't give an exact answer but more generalized. Most of Protestantism has its roots in the 16th century and most of it, aside from Lutheranism and Anglicans or a Protestant high church, the worship is contemporary whereas the early church was liturgical. I've been to Protestant worship services where they literally had fog machines when songs were being sung. This tells me they are trying to entertain more than anything. Now, we're those worship bands necessarily a "bad" thing? No, because there are worse things that can happen in a church. But when you look at what worship is and where it started in the old testament, it resembles nothing like modern Protestantism. The next big difference is most Protestant churches consider themselves Bible based or Sola Scriptura, but this is exactly why the Protestant movement lacks real unity. That's why there are Calvinists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Pentecostals, SDA, Lutherans, Evangelicals, etc. None of these are in agreement. Now, Protestants would argue they agree on the fundamentals but that depends on how one interprets the Bible. Take for example the current political climate with the LGBTQ. There is a split in the Presbyterian movement and within the Methodist denomination over this issue. Even some Roman Catholics are going woke. This is an issue where we cannot compromise the gospel on. The other big issue is church governance. The one example I can draw from is the recent Ravi Zacharias scandal. He was accountable to nobody and ultimately went to his death not being held accountable. His leadership board said he fooled them but there were plenty of signs that were ignored. Many people were hurt, his wife and family betrayed. In Orthodoxy, Catholicism and probably Lutheranism and Anglicanism there is a way to handle these things and bring accountability and anathematize people like this. Most of Protestantism lacks this ability because the perpetrator can just go to another strip mall church like nothing even happened. For me, the next thing would be the eucharist, the sacraments and the life of the Church. Since most of Protestantism holds the eucharist to be symbolic, it really has lost its historical importance and how the church understood it. If you dig into church history, you'd have to either become Catholic or Orthodox, those are the 2 historical churches. I'm not saying Protestants aren't Christian, it's more the JV team with no direction and if you wanted to get to the varsity team, you'd have to then abandon the JV team eventually. Feel free to ask me anything else. Sorry for the rant.

Very well explained 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A little note: During the *Small Entrance* the Priest takes the Evangèlio>Gospel and places it again on the Holy Table passing it through the Holy Gate. That symbolises the Entrance of Jesus at the city of Jerusalem. Inside the Gospel there are the words of God, like that the Jesus came to preach and spread His word/the truth. That’s the meaning of the Small Entrance. During the *Great Entrance* the priests takes the blessed bread and wine and delivers them from the Pròthesis (side altar) to the Central Altar on the Holy Table. That walking around the church symbolises the way of Jesus carrying His Cross and going to Golgotha. The Holy Gifts (bread and wine) on the Holy table are symbolising Jesus on the Cross.

I heard so much about the Eastern Orthodox Church. But never had a chance to attend until 4 years ago, I attended one. It was a Greek Orthodox one named Saint George. Once I went inside, I met this parishioner who also works as a Sexton. He showed me the beautiful and magnificent icon pictures. Even the stained glass windows. I asked him if it were possible for a Roman Catholic like me to receive holy communion. He said that only Orthodox Christians can receive holy communion. So I understood what he said and I showed him sincere respect towards his opinion and beliefs. Now I know what he meant. Closed communion. It’s practiced within the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Even Roman Catholic Church. And some Protestants too. To my Eastern Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ, keep up the good work by serving the Lord. Amen.

Orthodoxy is a basically a national Church of Greece or Russia, similar to how the Anglican Church was during Henry the 8ths reign. Orthodoxy, like the An gh lican permits divorce & contraception. The Catholic Church continues to hold steadfast that these are still going against God's will.
Nice lady. Beautiful faith.
This is beautiful. This seems to be as close to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of the Roman Catholic Church (Latin Rite) as one might find. The intentions seem to be the same but the methods are a little different.
Ah! The bread is in the wine.... My wife and I went to a Divine Liturgy for the first time last week, and I thought people were getting just the wine.... That's very good to know, I felt a bit sad at the thought of getting only the wine.

harper M Glory be to God for all things! Upon visiting an Orthodox Church for the first time, those with little familiarity with Orthodox Christianity may find our worship practices strange and bewildering. They might even be tempted to think of them as either the peculiar customs of some foreign culture or “the tradition of men” that St. Paul warns against (Col. 2:8). However, a serious student of the Bible will soon recognize that what at first might seem so strange and foreign about Orthodox worship is actually rooted in the divinely-revealed worship of the Church of the Old Covenant: Ancient Israel. www.saintgeorgekearney.com/old_testament_worship_and_the_new_testament_church.html

This isn't done at the Greek Orthodox Church that I go to either.
Coptic orthodox here. Our liturgy is almost the same.

God bless you.
Great video. I have two Questions still. Why do orthodox kiss paintings? And Isn't it unhygienic to all take the eucharist from the same spoon? Thanks
