Default Do you know about the existence of the Eastern Orthodox Church as?

study for yourself about this church
an institution that believes its mission is to preserve the sacred teachings of Jesus Christ without any alterations. The Church strives to maintain a clear interpretation of Christ's teachings and believes it remains the one true descendant of the Church that Jesus Christ established on earth.

Christian Orthodoxy does not stem from the transient philosophy of one individual or a small group. The Orthodox Church has always rejected people attempting to change Church doctrine.

Orthodox Christian priests must be married so that they can understand their congregation well enough to counsel them on life.


I invite you to a liturgy at the Eastern Orthodox Church. Every step of the liturgy exemplifies an event in Jesus Christ's life or from a teaching in the Bible.
Find a orthodox church near you and go Sunday morning to the religious service.

The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church
(Baptism, Chrismation, Holy Communion, Penance (Confession)
Anointing of the Sick, Ordination and Matrimony) are also accepted by Eastern Orthodoxy , but these traditions do not limit the number of sacraments to seven, holding that anything the Church does as Church is in some sense sacramental.
While the Catholic Church has attempted to dogmatically define the sacraments, and discover the precise moment when the act results in the manifestation of the grace of God, the Orthodox communion has refrained from attempting to determine absolutely the exact form, number and effect of the sacraments, accepting that simply that these elements are unknowable to all except God
Orthodox teachers have many proofs God exists but I recommend you watching the documentary "The fact of Creation" on you tube

I'm not going to bother myself with this type of mythology.

So tell me, does the Eastern Orthodox Church (and yes, I am well aware of it) have any empirical evidence to support their supernatural claims? Or are they just like all the others?

I used to be Orthodox Christian because nearly all Greeks are at least baptized as infants. We also have a mandatory lesson throughout our school years on this very denominations. I know it exceptionally well but it doesn't work for me as a religion, sorry.

Also, I don't value copy-paste rs. Especially when they do a poor job.
