Answer from Neurologist[guru]
The schism of the Christian Church in 1054, also the Great Schism, is a church schism, after which the Church was finally divided into the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Orthodox Church in the East, centered in Constantinople.

Answer from Slope[guru]
This is the church that does not want to accept the entire Bible, because in the Old Testament God's commandments are written, which they do not want to fulfill.
Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (words of Christ)
(Mat. 5:17)
Orthodoxy is ancient Christianity. We are the Old Believers of Europe: we believe the way Europeans did a thousand years ago. We are the Europe of Boethius, Augustine, Tertullian, Ambrose. Orthodoxy is that reading of the Gospel, that way of life in Christ, which took shape in the era of late antiquity. When Greek philosophy reached its zenith in Plotinus, in that century and in the same city, a man called the "father of Orthodox theology" - Origen - worked. St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory the Theologian managed to graduate from the Athens (still pagan) university before its decline and managed to advise his students to take the great pagan authors on their Christian path28. It was the 4th century that was central in the history of Orthodoxy - this is both the "golden age of patristic writing", and the time of the adoption of the Creed, the time of the birth of monasticism and the final formation of the structure of the church body. Before the era of the invasion of the barbarians, Christianity managed to find its basic forms, preserved in Orthodoxy in the main to this day so much that even according to the observation of A. Harnack, the famous Protestant historian of the Church, Orthodoxy has not changed since then: “I will ask you to skip the centuries and proceed to consider of the Greek Church in the form in which it now exists, which has remained in it essentially unchanged for more than a thousand years.Between the third and nineteenth centuries in the ecclesiastical history of the East, we do not see any profound difference ... Obviously, the peoples belonging to Orthodoxy, have not experienced since then anything that could make the church unbearable for them and make them demand reforms.

Answer from Alex Alexandrov[newbie]
in fact, everything is simple. Initially, when Christianity came with fire and sword to Holy Russia, it (Christianity) was called: Orthodox Christian Faith. True - because. that they believe correctly and observe rituals - this is what any Pop says. And so. as the Slavs did not accept this religion, it was purposefully renamed Orthodox. And after a few generations, in our people's brains, there was a substitution of concepts and everyone flooded into Christianity. (Do not forget that out of 12 million inhabitants of Kyiv, after the planting of Christianity, only 4 million remained alive.) As for Kuraev, I will say bluntly: From the position of Good, he pours mud on everyone and everything.

A question that seems obvious is not even mastered at all. How wrong people are can be concluded from the fact that some "Orthodox" Christians actually already believe that " the division into Orthodox and Catholic churches occurred in 1054".

Notice the 1956 plaque from the church in Canada: ORTHODOX CURCH- This ORTHODIC CHURCH. However, the translation is " ORTHODOX". This is a substitution of concepts!

The question is, who and when on Russian soil decided to change the terms orthodoxy on the orthodoxy?

It happened in the 17th century, when the Moscow Patriarch Nikon initiated a church reform. The main goal of this reform by Nikon was not to change the rites of the Christian church, as it is now interpreted, where it all comes down to supposedly replacing the sign of the cross with a two-fingered one with a three-fingered one and walking the procession in the other direction. The main goal of the reform was the destruction of dual faith on Russian soil.

In our time, few people know that before the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in Muscovy, there was dual faith in the Russian lands. In other words, the common people professed not only orthodoxy, i.e. Christianity of the Greek rite, which came from Byzantium, but also the old pre-Christian faith of their ancestors ORTHODOXY. This is what worried Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov and his spiritual mentor, the Christian Patriarch Nikon, most of all, for the Orthodox Old Believers lived by their own principles and did not recognize any power over themselves.

Patriarch Nikon decided to put an end to dual faith in a very original way. To do this, under the guise of a reform in the church, allegedly due to the discrepancy between Greek and Slavic texts, he ordered to rewrite all liturgical books, replacing the phrases "orthodox Christian faith" with "Orthodox Christian faith." In the Readings of the Menaia, which have survived to our times, we can see the old version of the entry "Orthodox Christian Faith." This was Nikon's very interesting approach to reform.

Supporters of the old traditions accused Nikon of trilingual heresy and pandering to paganism, as Christians called Orthodoxy, that is, the old pre-Christian faith. The split engulfed the whole country. This led to the fact that in 1667 the great Moscow cathedral condemned and deposed Nikon, and anathematized all opponents of the reforms.

The painting "The Trial of Patriarch Nikon" by Sergei Miloradovich

From that time on, adherents of the new liturgical traditions began to be called Nikonians, and adherents of the old rites and traditions began to be called schismatics and persecuted. The confrontation between the Nikonians and the schismatics at times reached the point of armed clashes until the royal troops came out on the side of the Nikonians. In order to avoid a large-scale religious war, part of the higher clergy of the Moscow Patriarchate condemned some of the provisions of Nikon's reforms.

In liturgical practices and state documents, the term Orthodoxy began to be used again. For example, let us turn to the spiritual regulations of Peter the Great: “ ... And like a Christian Sovereign, orthodoxy and everyone in the church, the Holy Guardian of piety ...»

As we can see, even in the 18th century, Peter the Great is called the Christian sovereign, guardian of orthodoxy and piety. But there is not a word about Orthodoxy in this document. Nor is it in the editions of the Spiritual Regulations of 1776-1856.

What was then called Orthodoxy over several millennia?

The answer to this question was given by the Byzantine monk Belisarius in 532 AD. Long before the baptism of Russia, this is what he wrote in his Chronicles about the Slavs and their rite of visiting the bath: “ Orthodox Slovenes and Rusyns are wild people, and their life is wild and godless, men and girls lock themselves together in a hot, overheated hut and exhaust their bodies ....»

We will not pay attention to the fact that for the monk Belisarius the usual visit by the Slavs to the bath seemed something wild and incomprehensible, this is quite natural. For us, something else is important. Pay attention to how he called the Slavs: Orthodox Slovenes and Rusyns.

For this one phrase alone, we must express our gratitude to him. Since with this phrase the Byzantine monk Belisarius confirms that the Slavs were Orthodox many thousands of years before their conversion to the Judeo-Christian faith.

The Slavs were called Orthodox, because they praised the RIGHT.

What is "RIGHT"?

Our ancestors believed that reality, the cosmos, is divided into three levels. And it is also very similar to the Indian system of division: Upper World, Middle World and Lower World.

In Russia, these three levels were called like this:

The highest level is the level of Rule or Rule.

The second, middle level is Yav.

And the lowest level is Nav. Nav or Non-reveal, unmanifested.

The World of Rule is a world where everything is correct or an ideal upper world. This is a world where ideal beings with higher consciousness live.

Reality is our manifest, obvious world, the world of people.

And the world of Navi or Unrevealed, unmanifested, is a negative, unmanifested or lower, or posthumous world.

The Indian Vedas also speak of the existence of three worlds:

The upper world is the world where the energy of goodness dominates.

The middle world is seized with passion.

The lower world is immersed in ignorance.

There is no such division among Christians. The Bible is silent on this.

Such a similar understanding of the world also gives a similar motivation in life, i.e. it is necessary to aspire to the world of Rule or Goodness. And in order to get into the world of Rule, you need to do everything right, i.e. by the law of God.

Words such as "truth" come from the root "right". Truth is what makes right. “Yes” is “to give”, and “rule” is “higher”. So, the "truth" is what gives the right.

If we are not talking about faith, but about the word "orthodoxy", then of course it was borrowed by the church (according to various estimates in the 13-16 centuries) from "those who glorify the rule", i.e. from ancient Russian Vedic cults.

At least for the reason that:

a) rarely what ancient Russian name did not contain a particle of "glory",

b) that until now the Sanskrit, Vedic word "prav" (spiritual world) is contained in such modern Russian words as: truth, correct, righteous, correctness, board, management, correction, government, rights, wrong. The root of all these words is "right."

“Right” or “right”, i.e. the highest beginning. The point is that the concept of the Rule or the higher reality should underlie the real management. And real management should spiritually elevate those who follow the ruler, leading his wards on the paths of rule.

Modern interpretation of the term ORTHODOX = Orthodox, appeared on Wikipedia only after this resource was funded by the UK government. In fact, Orthodoxy is translated as Right Belief, Orthodox is translated as Right Faithful.

Either Wikipedia, continuing the idea of ​​“identity” Orthodoxy=Orthodoxy, should call Muslims and Jews Orthodox (because the terms Orthodox Muslim or Orthodox Jew are found in all world literature), recognize Marxists as ORTHODOX, or still recognize that Orthodoxy=RightBelief and has nothing to do with Orthodoxy, as well as the Christian Church of the Eastern Rite, called since 1943 - the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Greek Catholic Orthodox (Right Faithful) Church (now the Russian Orthodox Church) began to be called Orthodox only on September 8, 1943 (approved by Stalin's decree in 1945).

Thus the concepts Orthodoxy and Christianity are not identical and carry completely different concepts and meanings.

The Greek Catholic Orthodox (Right Faithful) Church (now the Russian Orthodox Church) began to be called Orthodox only on September 8, 1943 (approved by Stalin's decree in 1945). What, then, was called Orthodoxy for several millennia?

“In our time, in modern Russian vernacular, in the official, scientific and religious designation, the term “Orthodoxy” is applied to anything related to the ethno-cultural tradition and it is necessarily associated with the Russian Orthodox Church and the Christian Judeo-Christian religion.

To a simple question: "What is Orthodoxy" any modern person, without hesitation, will answer that Orthodoxy is the Christian faith that was adopted by Kievan Rus during the reign of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun from the Byzantine Empire in 988 AD. And that Orthodoxy, i.e. The Christian faith has existed on Russian soil for more than a thousand years. Scientists from historical science and Christian theologians, in confirmation of their words, declare that the earliest use of the word Orthodoxy in the territory of Russia is recorded in the “Sermon on Law and Grace” of 1037-1050 by Metropolitan Hilarion.

But was it really so?

We advise you to carefully read the preamble to the federal law on freedom of conscience and on religious associations, adopted on September 26, 1997. Note the following points in the preamble: “Recognizing the special role orthodoxy in Russia...and further respecting Christianity , Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and other religions…”

Thus, the concepts of Orthodoxy and Christianity are not identical and carry completely different concepts and meanings.

Orthodoxy. How historical myths appeared

It is worth considering who participated in the seven councils Judeo-Christian churches? Orthodox holy fathers or still Orthodox holy fathers, as indicated in the original Word on Law and Grace? By whom and when was it decided to replace one concept with another? And was there ever any mention of Orthodoxy in the past?

The answer to this question was given by the Byzantine monk Belisarius in 532 AD. Long before the baptism of Russia, this is what he wrote in his Chronicles about the Slavs and their rite of visiting the bath: “Orthodox Slovenes and Rusyns are wild people, and their life is wild and godless, men and girls lock themselves together in a hot, heated hut and exhaust their bodies .... »

The substitution of the name "orthodoxy" is not "orthodoxy"

The question is, who and when on Russian soil decided to replace the terms Orthodoxy with Orthodoxy?

It happened in the 17th century, when the Moscow Patriarch Nikon initiated a church reform. The main goal of this reform by Nikon was not to change the rites of the Christian church, as it is now interpreted, where it all comes down to supposedly replacing the sign of the cross with a two-fingered one with a three-fingered one and walking the procession in the other direction. The main goal of the reform was the destruction of dual faith on Russian soil.

In our time, few people know that before the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in Muscovy, there was dual faith in the Russian lands. In other words, the common people professed not only orthodoxy, i.e. Greek Rite Christianity that came from Byzantium, but also the old pre-Christian faith of their ancestors ORTHODOXY. This is what worried Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov and his spiritual mentor, the Christian Patriarch Nikon, most of all, for the Orthodox Old Believers lived by their own principles and did not recognize any power over themselves.

Patriarch Nikon decided to put an end to dual faith in a very original way. To do this, under the guise of a reform in the church, allegedly due to the discrepancy between Greek and Slavic texts, he ordered to rewrite all liturgical books, replacing the phrases "orthodox Christian faith" with "Orthodox Christian faith." In the Readings of the Menaia, which have survived to our times, we can see the old version of the entry "Orthodox Christian Faith." This was Nikon's very interesting approach to reform.

Firstly, it was not necessary to rewrite many ancient Slavic, as they said then charaty books, or chronicles, which described the victories and achievements of pre-Christian Orthodoxy.

Secondly, life during the time of dual faith and the very original meaning of Orthodoxy were erased from the memory of the people, because after such a church reform, any text from liturgical books or ancient chronicles could be interpreted as the beneficial influence of Christianity on Russian lands. In addition, the patriarch sent a memo to the Moscow churches about the use of the sign of the cross with three fingers instead of the two-fingered one.

Thus began the reform, as well as the protest against it, which led to a schism in the Church. The protest against Nikon's church reforms was organized by the former comrades of the patriarch, archpriests Avvakum Petrov and Ivan Neronov. They pointed out to the patriarch the arbitrariness of actions, and then in 1654 he arranged a Council at which, as a result of pressure on the participants, he sought to hold a book right on ancient Greek and Slavic manuscripts. However, Nikon's alignment was not with the old rites, but with the modern Greek practice of that time. All the actions of Patriarch Nikon led to the fact that the church split into two warring parts.

Supporters of the old traditions accused Nikon of trilingual heresy and pandering to paganism, as Christians called Orthodoxy, that is, the old pre-Christian faith. The split engulfed the whole country. This led to the fact that in 1667 the great Moscow cathedral condemned and deposed Nikon, and anathematized all opponents of the reforms. From that time on, adherents of the new liturgical traditions began to be called Nikonians, and adherents of the old rites and traditions began to be called schismatics and persecuted. The confrontation between the Nikonians and the schismatics at times reached the point of armed clashes until the royal troops came out on the side of the Nikonians. In order to avoid a large-scale religious war, part of the higher clergy of the Moscow Patriarchate condemned some of the provisions of Nikon's reforms.

In liturgical practices and state documents, the term Orthodoxy began to be used again. For example, let's turn to the spiritual regulations of Peter the Great: “... And like a Christian Sovereign, orthodoxy and everyone in the church, the Holy Guardian of piety ...”

As we can see, even in the 18th century, Peter the Great is called the Christian sovereign, guardian of orthodoxy and piety. But there is not a word about Orthodoxy in this document. Nor is it in the editions of the Spiritual Regulations of 1776-1856.

Thus, the "church" reform of Patriarch Nikon was clearly carried out against the traditions and foundations of the Russian people, against Slavic rituals, and not church ones.

In general, the “reform” marks a milestone from which a sharp impoverishment of faith, spirituality and morality begins in Russian society. Everything new in rituals, architecture, icon painting, singing is of Western origin, which is also noted by civilian researchers.

The "church" reforms of the middle of the 17th century were directly related to religious construction. The order to strictly follow the Byzantine canons put forward the requirement to build churches "with five peaks, and not with a tent."

Tent buildings (with a pyramidal top) are known in Russia even before the adoption of Christianity. This type of buildings is considered primordially Russian. That is why Nikon took care of such a “little thing” with his reforms, because it was a real “pagan” trace among the people. Under the threat of the death penalty, craftsmen, architects, as soon as they did not manage to keep the shape of a tent near temple buildings and worldly ones. Despite the fact that it was necessary to build domes with onion cupolas, the general shape of the structure was made pyramidal. But not everywhere it was possible to deceive the reformers. These were mainly the northern and remote regions of the country.

Nikon did everything possible and impossible so that the true Slavic heritage disappeared from the expanses of Russia, and with it the Great Russian People.

Now it becomes obvious that there were no grounds at all for carrying out church reform. The grounds were completely different and had nothing to do with the church. This is, above all, the destruction of the spirit of the Russian people! Culture, heritage, the great past of our people. And this was done by Nikon with great cunning and meanness.

Nikon simply “planted a pig” on the people, and such that we, the Russians, still have to piecemeal, literally bit by bit, remember who we are and our Great Past.

But was Nikon the instigator of these transformations? Or maybe there were completely different people behind him, and Nikon was just a performer? And if this is so, then who are these “men in black”, who were so disturbed by the Russian people with their many thousands of years of great past?

The answer to this question was very well and in detail set out by B.P. Kutuzov in the book "The Secret Mission of Patriarch Nikon". Despite the fact that the author does not fully understand the true goals of the reform, we must give him credit for how clearly he denounced the true customers and executors of this reform.

Education of the ROC

Based on this, the question arises, when did the term Orthodoxy begin to be officially used by the Christian Church?

The fact is that in the Russian Empire did not have Russian Orthodox Church. The Christian church existed under a different name - "Russian Greek Catholic Church". Or as it was also called "Russian Orthodox Church of the Greek Rite".

Christian church called The Russian Orthodox Church appeared during the reign of the Bolsheviks.

At the beginning of 1945, by decree of Joseph Stalin, a local council of the Russian church was held in Moscow under the leadership of responsible persons from the State Security of the USSR and a new Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia was elected.

• Details in article: How Stalin created the ROC MP [video]

It should be mentioned that many Christian priests, who did not recognize the power of the Bolsheviks, left Russia and abroad continue to profess Christianity of the Eastern Rite and call their church none other than Russian Orthodox Church or Russian Orthodox Church.

In order to finally move away from well crafted historical myth and to find out what the word Orthodoxy really meant in ancient times, let's turn to those people who still keep the old faith of their ancestors.

Having received their education in Soviet times, these pundits either do not know, or carefully try to hide from ordinary people, that even in ancient times, long before the birth of Christianity, Orthodoxy existed in the Slavic lands. It covered not only the basic concept when our wise ancestors praised the Rule. And the deep essence of Orthodoxy was much larger and more voluminous than it seems today.

The figurative meaning of this word included the concepts when our ancestors Right praised. That's just it was not Roman law and not Greek, but our own, native Slavic.

It included:

• Family Law, based on the ancient traditions of culture, horses and foundations of the Family;
• Communal law, creating mutual understanding between various Slavic families living together in one small settlement;
• Mine law that regulated the interaction between communities living in large settlements, which were cities;
• Weight law, which determined the relationship between communities living in different cities and settlements within the same Vesey, i.e. within the same area of ​​​​settlement and residence;
• Veche law, which was adopted at a general meeting of all the people and observed by all clans of the Slavic community.

Any Law from Generic to Veche was arranged on the basis of the ancient Konov, the culture and foundations of the Family, as well as on the basis of the commandments of the ancient Slavic gods and the instructions of the ancestors. It was our native Slavic Law.

Our wise ancestors commanded to preserve it, and we are preserving it. From ancient times, our ancestors praised the Rule and we continue to praise the Law, and we keep our Slavic Law and pass it on from generation to generation.

Therefore, we and our ancestors were, are and will be Orthodox.

change on wikipedia

Modern interpretation of the term ORTHODOX = Orthodox, appeared on Wikipedia only after this resource was funded by the UK government. In fact, Orthodoxy translates as rightBelieve, Orthodox translates as orthodox.

Either Wikipedia, continuing the idea of ​​the “identity” Orthodoxy=Orthodoxy, should call Muslims and Jews Orthodox (because the terms orthodox Muslim or Orthodox Jew are found in all world literature), or still recognize that Orthodoxy=Orthodoxy and in no way refers to Orthodoxy, as well as the Christian Church of the Eastern Rite, called since 1945 - the Russian Orthodox Church.

Orthodoxy is not a religion, not Christianity, but a faith

By the way, on many of his icons it is inscribed in implicit letters: MARY LIK. Hence the original name of the area in honor of the face of Mary: Marlikian. So actually this bishop was Nicholas of Marlic. And his city, which was originally called " Mary"(that is, the city of Mary), now called Bari. There was a phonetic change of sounds.

Bishop Nicholas of Myra - Nicholas the Wonderworker

However, now Christians do not remember these details, hushing up the Vedic roots of Christianity. For now Jesus in Christianity is interpreted as the God of Israel, although Judaism does not consider him a god. And Christianity does not say anything about the fact that Jesus Christ, as well as his apostles, are different faces of Yar, although this is read on many icons. The name of the god Yar is also read on Shroud of Turin .

At one time, Vedism reacted very calmly and fraternally to Christianity, seeing in it just a local shoot of Vedism, for which there is a name: paganism (that is, an ethnic variety), like Greek paganism with another name Yara - Ares, or Roman, with the name of Yar is Mars, or with the Egyptian, where the name Yar or Ar was read in the opposite direction, Ra. In Christianity, Yar became Christ, and Vedic temples made icons and crosses of Christ.

And only over time, under the influence of political, or rather, geopolitical reasons, Christianity was opposed to Vedism, and then Christianity everywhere saw manifestations of "paganism" and led a fight with him not to the stomach, but to the death. In other words, she betrayed her parents, her heavenly patrons, and began to preach humility and humility.

The Judeo-Christian religion not only does not teach worldview, but also prevents the acquisition of ancient knowledge, declaring it a heresy. Thus, at first, instead of the Vedic way of life, stupid worship was imposed, and in the 17th century, after the Nikonian reform, the meaning of Orthodoxy was replaced.

There were so-called. "Orthodox Christians", although they have always been orthodox, because Orthodoxy and Christianity are completely different essence and principles.

• Details in the article: V.A. Chudinov - Proper education .

At present, the concept of "paganism" exists only as an antithesis to Christianity, and not as an independent figurative form. For example, when the Nazis attacked the USSR, they called the Russians “rusishe schweine”, so what do we now, imitating the Nazis, call ourselves “rusishe schweine”?

So there is a similar misunderstanding with paganism, neither the Russian people (our great-ancestors), nor our spiritual leaders (magicians or brahmins) themselves have ever called themselves “pagans”.

The Jewish form of thinking needed to trivialize and mutilate the beauty of the Russian Vedic value system, so a powerful pagan ("pagan", filthy) project arose.

Neither the Russians nor the Magi of Russia have ever called themselves pagans.

The term "paganism" is a purely Jewish concept by which the Jews denoted all non-biblical religions. (And there are three biblical religions, as we know - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. And they all have one common source - the Bible).

Secret writing on Russian and modern Christian icons

Thus Christianity within the framework of ALL RUSSIA was adopted not in 988, but between 1630 and 1635.

The study of Christian icons made it possible to identify sacred texts on them. Explicit inscriptions cannot be attributed to their number. But they absolutely include implicit inscriptions associated with Russian Vedic gods, temples and priests (mimes).

On the old Christian icons of the Mother of God with baby Jesus there are Russian inscriptions in runes, saying that these are the Slavic Goddess Makosh with the baby God Yar. Jesus Christ was also called CHORUS or HORUS. Moreover, the name CHORUS on the mosaic depicting Christ in the Church of Christ Hora in Istanbul is written like this: “NHOR”, that is, ICHORS. The letter I used to be written as N. The name IGOR is almost identical to the name IKHOR OR KHOR, since the sounds X and G could pass into each other. By the way, it is possible that the respectful name HERO also came from here, which later entered many languages ​​practically unchanged.

And then the need to disguise the Vedic inscriptions becomes clear: their discovery on the icons could lead to the accusation of the icon painter of belonging to the Old Believers, and for this, according to, a punishment in the form of exile or the death penalty could follow.

On the other hand, as it now becomes clear, the absence of Vedic inscriptions made the icon a non-sacred artifact. In other words, it was not so much the presence of narrow noses, thin lips and large eyes that made the image sacred, but just the connection with the god Yar in the first place and with the goddess Mara in the second place, through reference implicit inscriptions, added magic and miraculous properties to the icon. Therefore, icon painters, if they wanted to make an icon miraculous, and not a simple artistic product, were OBLIGED to supply any image with the words: FACE OF YAR, MIM OF YAR AND MARY, TEMPLE OF MARY, YARA TEMPLE, YARA RUSSIA, etc.

Nowadays, when the persecution on religious charges has ceased, the icon painter no longer risks his life and property by making implicit inscriptions on modern icon paintings. Therefore, in a number of cases, namely in the cases of mosaic icons, he no longer tries to hide such inscriptions as much as possible, but transfers them to the category of semi-explicit ones.

Thus, on the Russian material, the reason was revealed why the explicit inscriptions on the icons moved into the category of semi-explicit and implicit ones: a ban on Russian Vedism, which followed from. However, this example gives grounds for speculating about the same motives for masking obvious inscriptions on coins.

In more detail, this idea can be expressed as follows: once the body of a deceased priest (mime) was accompanied by a funeral golden mask, on which there were all the relevant inscriptions, but made not very large and not very contrasting, so as not to destroy the aesthetic perception of the mask. Later, instead of a mask, they began to use smaller objects - pendants and plaques, which also depicted the face of a deceased mime with corresponding discreet inscriptions. Even later, portraits of mimes migrated to coins. And such images were preserved as long as the spiritual power was considered the most significant in society.

However, when power became secular, passing to military leaders - princes, leaders, kings, emperors, images of authorities, and not mimes, began to be minted on coins, while images of mimes migrated to icons. At the same time, the secular authorities, as more rude, began to mint their own inscriptions weightily, rudely, visibly, and obvious legends appeared on the coins. With the advent of Christianity, such explicit inscriptions began to appear on icons, but they were no longer made with the runes of the Family, but with the Old Slavonic Cyrillic font. In the West, a Latin script was used for this.

Thus, in the West there was a similar, but still somewhat different motive, according to which the implicit inscriptions of mimes did not become explicit: on the one hand, the aesthetic tradition, on the other hand, the secularization of power, that is, the transfer of the function of governing society from priests to military leaders and officials.

This allows us to consider icons, as well as sacred sculptures of gods and saints, as substitutes for those artifacts that previously acted as carriers of sacred properties: golden masks and plaques. On the other hand, icons existed before, but did not affect the sphere of finance, remaining entirely within religion. Therefore, their production has experienced a new heyday.

Why is Christianity called Orthodox?

Alexey Kungurov

T. The patriarchs answer you: - Our church is orthodox, and the orthodox is Orthodox. All over the world our church is called the Russian Orthodox Church of the Greek Rite. The only thing we are told is that she is a Russian Orthodox Church. What do we learn from the lips of the patriarch and clergymen that in Israel live Orthodox - Orthodox Jews, and in Muslim countries Orthodox Muslims, Orthodox. (Orthodoxy—the steadfast adherence to tradition—is a way of believing!)

Orthodoxy, Orthodoxy and Judaism are independent religions!

Those. then devout Muslims are Orthodox Muslims, and this is how the substitution of concepts takes place. Actually, something else happened.

An alternative view of the history of religions is considered.

The main religions are:

Actually, the modern Orthodox Church, and earlier the Greek Catholic Orthodox Church, actually received the name Orthodox only from the middle of the last century. That is, for many millennia before that, Orthodoxy was understood to be completely different. In other words, Christianity and Orthodoxy are not identical to each other.

So who took part in the seven councils for the Judeo-Christian church, the orthodox or orthodox fathers? In fact, the substitution of one concept for another occurred during Nikon's reforms.

It is authentically known that the Slavs themselves were Orthodox many thousands of years before they were converted to the Judeo-Christian faith. And they called the Slavs the term "Orthodox" because they glorified the Rule. After all, the ancestors sincerely believed that the whole world is divided into three separate levels, namely the highest level called Rule or Rule, the middle level - Reality, as well as the lowest level or world called Nav or ...

Wrong. Orthodoxy and Christianity have nothing in common. Orthodoxy is the true Faith of our ancestors Russ Slavs. They glorified Rule, the world of the Gods. And Christianity was forcibly imposed with the blood of our ancestors and that religion was called orthodox Christianity of the Byzantine Catholic Church. For 12 years of the baptism of Kievan Rus, out of 12 million Russ, 9 million were slaughtered, since our ancestors were faithful to the Rule, to their Faith, and it was impossible to force them to abandon their Faith, the Faith of their ancestors by any means. They left alive the elderly and small children, from whom they later raised Christians. In 1654, the rector of the church, Nikon, started a reform of the church - he changed the rites, replaced two-fingered baptism with three-fingered baptism, during the rites they began to go against ...

The Greek Catholic Orthodox (Right Faithful) Church (now the Russian Orthodox Church) began to be called Orthodox only on September 8, 1943 (approved by Stalin's decree in 1945). What, then, was called Orthodoxy for several millennia?

“In our time, in modern Russian vernacular, in the official, scientific and religious designation, the term “Orthodoxy” is applied to anything related to the ethno-cultural tradition and it is necessarily associated with the Russian Orthodox Church and the Christian Judeo-Christian religion.

To a simple question: “What is Orthodoxy”, any modern person, without hesitation, will answer that Orthodoxy is the Christian faith that Kievan Rus adopted during the reign of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun from the Byzantine Empire in 988 AD. And that Orthodoxy, i.e. The Christian faith has existed on Russian soil for more than a thousand...

Almost two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and saved mankind from the sin, curse, and death that had hung over them since the first people sinned. Having sent to earth after the Holy Ascension of the Holy Spirit, “who proceeds from the Father” (John 15, 26), the Lord founded the Church as His mystical Body, and the sacraments of the Church became a way of grace-filled communion with God. Therefore, a person needs to be in the Church in order to communicate with God through the sacraments.

In its history, the Church, in order to preserve the unity of faith, has limited and established the rules and laws of its existence. Therefore, those who violated these laws are called schismatics, and their teachings, which they preached, are called heresy. In general, schismatics ...

In the beginning I will make a little explanation for those who believe that Orthodoxy is Christianity. I'm afraid to upset you, but it's not true at all.

Orthodoxy and Christianity have nothing in common with each other. Orthodoxy is the ancient Faith of our ancestors of the Slavs. They glorified Rule, the world of the Gods. And Christianity was forcibly imposed and that religion was called orthodox Christianity of the Byzantine Catholic Church. There are terrible legends that during the years of the baptism of Kievan Rus, millions of Rus were killed, since our ancestors were faithful to the Rule, to their Faith, and it was impossible to force them to abandon the Faith of their ancestors by any means.
In 1654, the rector of the church, Nikon, started a reform of the church. He changed the rites, replaced double-fingered baptism with three-fingered ones, during the rites they began to walk counterclockwise and the name of the church was changed from Orthodox to Orthodox (the true faith of the Slavs) in order to lure our ancestors there. This name did not last long and was canceled as…

Christianity is known to be one of the largest world religions. Millions of people around the world are adherents of Christianity, which has led to the heterogeneity of this religious trend. It broke up into a number of independent currents, the main of which are Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism.

Various political, socio-economic reasons, the course of historical events, such as the collapse of the Roman Empire into the western and eastern parts in the 4th century, caused the emergence of two currents of Christianity: Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

In the western part, there was a process of further fragmentation of the empire - the creation of independent feudal states. In conditions of political fragmentation, it became possible to strengthen the power of the church. It is already striving to rise above secular power, creating an international religious organization headed by a single head - the pope.

In the eastern part, the church was under the authority of the emperor, was part of his state apparatus….

Question:

Please tell me, director Ivanov - is “director” a name or position? And Mr. Ivanov - "Mr." Is this a title or a name? So how do you say God and Lord is the name? God has a name, and you cite the tetragrammaton YHWH, which occurs over 7,000 times in the Bible. Throughout the world, his reading is reported as Jehovah or Yahweh, so why don't you finish this in your answer and don't quote Exodus 3:15? Let's honestly insert this Tetragrammaton in all the places in the Bible where it appears in the original texts. I do not hope for your answer, but I am glad that there are still people who read the Bible and meditate. Goodbye.

Priest Afanasy Gumerov, a resident of the Sretensky Monastery, answers:

The question of the names of God is resolved in ancient and late patristics, as well as in biblical science. Both representatives of patristic theology and scholars in the field of biblical science are unanimous in their opinion that the Holy Scripture reveals to us several Divine names.

What is real Christianity?
Does Christianity have the right to be called ORTHODOX: the answer is unequivocal - NO. Christianity is not the religion of the SLAVES, and it has never been Orthodox. Christianity is a religion of lies and slavery.

The official Russian religion is Christianity. A religion in which there is not a word about the Slavs. Some Jews. While the Jews themselves adhere to a different religion. Paradox? To see why it happened, you need to figure out how Russia was baptized. But, only without Jewish interpretations.

Before Christianity in Russia there was the Old Faith - Orthodoxy. Our ancestors were Orthodox, because. They praised the right.

According to the Vedic scriptures there are:
Reality is a tangible world,
Nav - the world of Spirits and Ancestors,
Rule - the world of the Gods.

In 988 AD Christianity was brought from Byzantium to Russia.

Batiushka, why is our Orthodox Church after all? Can people who profess a different religion also say that they praise God correctly? What is Orthodoxy?

It is also important to correctly learn this glorification and correctly build life in accordance with this teaching. Of course, those who profess other religions believe that it is they who correctly glorify God. Nevertheless, the Orthodox Church takes this name for herself in order to emphasize that she believes correctly, lives in accordance with this faith, that is, she teaches the right life and the right ...

TRUE ORTHODOXY AND ITS ENEMIES IN THE MODERN WORLD
Many in our time forget that the Church is not some kind of earthly, human institution, but a Divine institution, the highest purpose of which is the salvation of souls into eternal life, that in it there is no place for any “politics” or “diplomacy” and is not permissible. to prevaricate, trampling on conscience, in the name of any purely earthly goals, even if they are covered with falsely false slogans of "peace of the whole world"; "common good" and even imaginary "Christian love" and "humility", which is now so in vogue ...

The widespread, “walking” opinion of our days is that Orthodoxy is just one of the many varieties of Christianity, along with others that have the full right to exist and even, to one degree or another, are equivalent.
But to think this way is either extreme naivety based on ignorance, or it is definitely a malicious misrepresentation of the truth.
