Orthodoux Christianity is what the west needs. The reformation has spawned 10000 denominations with a pastor or pope head of each. All claiming doctrinal authority while disagreeing on huge issues . The reformation has been a failure. I reject the view that the pope is the head of the church and infallible. The west introduced this later after the eccmenical councils met. So I choose Orthodoux.
Bless You! Thank God you are Choosing WELL! Good Strength :) as Orthodoxy is NOT popular in the West. Remember: All the heresies that were trying their best to destroy the Church back in the first millenium, are still very much alive in the West...sadly...
I believe it 's a reflection on the current situation of a dilemma more deeper than just morallity or ethics but meaning and nihilism. I believe what Peterson tries to address threw quoting Doestoyevski (especially Brothers Karamazov) is that there was a decline in the sphere of metaphysics in a sense that one turned science into god (trying to run away from the theistic God, similar to what Nietzsche stated in Thus Spoke Zarathustra:That we have to let old shellfishes go and find new ones) but the issue rising is in the sense of meaning,an existential crisis where the new shellfish created a much bigger issue in form of Nihilism that we try to solve by subconscouselly suprassing it but the notion of nihilism and lack of a thelos is so high that it causes a colapse. In that sense Russia is still not only in form of its christian denomination but also in the spirit of the nation "orthodox". Unlike in the West there is not as much of a decline in those aspects and paradigmas as in the west,which initself is causing a crash between the "progressive,sick unto death (as Kirkegaard would call them) and the "(partially)orthodox,one eyed man"...
@@RevoltOfAges Its always hilarious to hear an atheist/agnostic to say that God dosent exist without realizing their entire worldview is self-refuting, and illogical.
Besides, even in Soviet Union there were open churches and people who believed in God. In the 90s the churches were full, people were hungry for spiritual life. Now they've become more serious and conscious and they really value Orthodox Christianity.
@@CloudNumber23polls show that only 3-5% of the Russians identifying themselves as Christians are ecclesiastical (receive communion once a month or more often)
FELONY MATRIMONY. I'm guilty of you. I confess, I did it. You're guilty of me, too -- may as well admit it. You're all my fault. I'm all your fault, as well. What the penalty for this may be, no mortal tongue can tell. Could be Paradise -- quite possibly -- loving one another for eternity. Let's be responsible, in the name of Love, for these terrible things we're equally guilty of. Hands up, then! Giving thanks and praise, for all our crimes -- all the times we've committed Love, always...parse this, Professor. ❤
Reading the books of the New Testament, we perhaps asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Christ claimed the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church, unless you are implying Christ is a liar… which he isn’t. Interesting how one verse destroys the three paragraphs you wrote…
@@christianh8999 You write: *"Christ claimed the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church, unless you are implying Christ is a liar… which he isn’t."* - As for the words *"I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."* they do not mean that Christ's church was not to die. This is a misinterpretation of Jesus' words. Jesus also died when He was crucified, but that doesn't mean death overcame Him, does it? Of course not, because Christ rose from the dead and thereby conquered death. As it is written: *"Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."* (Acts 2:24). This is what happened to the Church. The gates of hell are death, and hell is a dwelling place for the dead. So the words *"I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"* indicate that the Church was to die, go to hell, and then rise again as Christ did. After all, one can only defeat death (escape from the gates of hell that hold the dead) by dying and rising again and in no other way. To show more clearly the meaning of the words *"the gates of hell shall not prevail "* let us imagine a gate that separates one space from another, the abode of the dead from the living. If the Church were alive to this day, she would be on this side, outside the gates of hell, and she would have no contact with the gates of hell, and accordingly the question, "Will the gates of hell prevail over the Church?" would not be asked. because the gates of hell (death) only have power over the dead. The statement that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church makes sense only if the Church gets beyond the gates, into the abode of the dead, and then the gates of hell will not be able to hold Her, She will escape through the gates of hell, through the resurrection. Just as Christ could not be defeated by the gates of hell and was resurrected on the third day, so the Church will be resurrected, but it will happen before the End of the World. Just the death and resurrection of the Church reveals the great mystery of Christ and the Church, which the Apostle Paul speaks of when he draws an interesting parallel between the relationship between husband and wife and Christ and the Church. *“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."* (Ephesians 5:31-32) The true essence of the integrity of Christ and the Church is that Jesus and the Church were to live the same life as husband and wife according to the *"two are one flesh".* And if they crucified Christ, they later crucified His Church. It could not have been expected otherwise. The world could not be cruel to Christ and benevolent to the Church, for the principle of integrity two are one flesh would be violated. But the most important and joyful thing is that the Church is one with Christ both in persecution, suffering, and death and in resurrection. As Jesus was crucified and on the third day risen, so will happen to the Church. *"This is a great mystery... "* is revealed in a true understanding of the principle *"two are one flesh"* which means that the Church as Christ had to go from Calvary to the Resurrection.
Not Jewish, and you won't get a straight yes or no on "christian?". My impression is that he will know if he is christian when he comes before God to be judged.
@@microcolonel Would a Christian care more about fame and money, than the patients he left behind? Peterson abandoned his patients to pursue infamy online. Then he became a cyber bully. He goes on Rogans podcast and brags about how he figured out how to monetize people. Would a Christian say or do things even remotely similar to this? The man is a con artist and a manipulator. While I am not here to judge or condemn people, he is clearly a demoniac.
Russia's religion is cold orthodox christianity but what is orthodox catholic but with different head of the church, because they departed from the Roman Catholics one thousand years a go. There are orthodox catholics in Eastern Europe or Northern Africa mainly that have the Pope as head of the church.
Orthodox Christianity isn’t cold. The Catholics departed by changing the nicene creed and violating canons. They stepped out of the faith. The Orthodox Church continued to run exactly the same way it always did in the first millennia. Papal supremacy is an innovation and is of the antichrist.
