@@Athonite and they've changed stance on this over time as well a couple hundred years ago they wouldn't recognize our sacraments we would have been heretics to them then. Theres a 1990s document where they all but renounce the project of uniatism and evangelization towards the Orthodox. "Two lungs" is just a byproduct of the spirit of the age, the ecumenist thinking. It's similar to how much Vatican II softened or outright contradicted Trent's view of Protestants and Jews.

It’s because the Eastern Orthodox has apostolic succession, the thing that makes orthodox not as valid is you don’t have communion with the bishop of Rome. I don’t understand why the orthodox can’t do that? We have eastern rites in The church but still worships just like you guys do. There has been many popes who have tried to reunion with your bishops but still unsuccessful why? Why can’t we be united and then get the Protestants to come back, we would be answering Jesus prayer for unity. Let’s become one church again I just don’t see the problem.

The Catholic Communion is the body that has both lungs - the Latin Church and the Eastern Churches. Now whether we breathe with both lungs depends on their health. The health of the Latin Church is not perfect while the health of the Eastern Catholic Churches is limited by schism. Healing those Eastern Schisms will fully activate the Eastern lung of the church (Eastern Catholicism). Eastern Catholics are anticipating that Eastern renewal of the Catholic Church. On the flip side, the Eastern Orthodox do not have “both lungs” and are not “one body”.

My first Orthodox Liturgy was my now godfather's chrismation and it struck me witnessing the service and the prayers and having grown up catholic how the deviation of "confirmation" makes zero sense theologically. So we excommunicate children but also we commune them but they don't get sealed with the Holy Spirit until their early teens... so we are communing people who haven't been indwelled. Its not surprising I've heard roman catholics refer to confirmation as the "sacrament in search of a theology."

As a former catholic gone Orthodox, studying the history of the 7th through 14th centuries (especially the events of the 8th and 9th ecumenical councils involving Ss.

Craig is disingenuous. He is trying to make atheists prove that god does not exist. In fact he is making a positive claim and he has the burden of proof. He has no evidence to support his belief in his loving caring god except his word games which he presents as logic. If his god exists, (1) why does this all powerful all knowing being not make himself known in an irrefutable way, and (2) why is there suffering of innocent people on this earth?

I mostly hear the word “naturalism” while Theists are straw-manning me. What Theists told me “naturalism” means is almost definitely not what people who call themselves Naturalists think it means (in my experience, Theists are NEVER right when they describe beliefs they themselves don’t share) so this criticism of “naturalism” means nothing. Do I doubt ghosts? Yes. Vampires? Yes. Goblins? Yes. Any and all supernatural creatures? Probably. Now, that “probably” is the thing. He’s treating “there are no supernatural creatures” as a positive claim rather than a rejection of another claim. He does that a lot. If you are telling someone who’s position includes the word “probably” that “You don’t know for an absolute fact that…” you’re wasting your breath. Just show me a goblin.

I find the first analogy is really bad. We know the stock market can go up and down. We dont know if something supernatural exists or not. So in the case of the stock market, you will withhold judgement because you know the market can either go up and down from previous experience, but you dont know that supernatural exists before, so you lack belief in that.

Icons are a historical record of the church. It does not makes sense that we could see Jesus on earth, but we cant see him now? How is seeing a picture of him different than seeing him physically present? If others were allowed to experience God's works on earth than we can also. The reason we did not have an iconographic tradition before the advent of Christ is because you can not properly interpret history apart from Him. Once He revealed Himself and took on flesh we see Him fully in all things.
