hello Mr orthodox
I'm also a Christian, not sure which denomination but most likely Protestant of some kind.
What difference is orthodoxy besides the cool suits and cathedrals?

First and foremost, I'd advise you ask an Orthodox priest of you have a Church near you. However, I'll try to give you a short answer. It's hard to define differences exactly given how far removed Protestantism is from Orthodoxy, but one of the main differences you will find is the role the church plays. Us Orthodox believe the Christian Church is the body of Christ on Earth, and is a living organization. This is why we pray for the intercession of Saints, because while they are no longer on Earth, they are still a part of the Christian Church, only in Heaven. For this same reason we also venerate icons.

This is a very simplified and incomplete explanation, so I hope you continue to pursue Orthodox further. God bless.

Everyone here must perform their civic duty bumping this gemmy get thread.

I don't like orthodoxy

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner

your denomination is based on the church you attend and affirm, if you dont know then you just dont have a denomination

we also venerate icons because of the incarnation of christ and because of genesis 1:26 "let us make man in our image, according to our likeness" (in the old texts, image and icon were the same word)

>we also venerate icons because of the incarnation of christ and because of genesis 1:26 "let us make man in our image, according to our likeness" (in the old texts, image and icon were the same word)

The old testament litterally says that making any images of God or the like is sinful. What is this geg.

Jesus Christ WON, GET GO UP

how do i pray? Whats the proper technique?

>>68890
ask your priest; not random strangers online who dont even know you

>>68890
First, cross yourself. Shape your hand by bringing your thumb, index and middle finger to a point and laying your ring and little finger together against your palm. Bring this point to your forehead, saying "In the name of the Father," then to your navel "and the Son," and then to your right and then left shoulder "and the Holy Spirit, Amen."

Sit alone and in silence; bow your head and close your eyes; relax your
breathing and with your imagination look into your heart; direct your thoughts from your head
into your heart. And while inhaling say, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." either softly
with your lips or in your mind. Endeavor to fight distractions but be patient and peaceful and
repeat this process frequently.

Other than that, ask a priest for any spiritual advice you need. God bless you brother.
