The history of the Greek Orthodox Church

[nm1999]

The history of the Greek Orthodox Church is so great and vast, it is even said that it was established while Jesus and his Apostles were alive. It was in 1054 when the Orthodox church split from the Catholic Church, this was when the Greek Orthodox Church became what we now know it as today. Though it is often contested by many, Greek Orthodox Christians believe that the Orthodox Church was the church established by Jesus Christ himself.

It isn't "said to have been established when Jesus and his Apostles were alive". It actually WAS set up by Jesus and his Apostles, and that is confirmed historically. The Orthodox Church was founded on Pentecost, which is documented in the Bible. And the split in 1054 didn't create the Orthodox Church as it is today, it was created on Pentecost, which was much, much earlier than the Great Schism. The Great Schism was about something else.

During the eight centuries of Christian history, most of the major cultural and social events of the Christian church took place within the empire or its sphere of influence, so much of the traditions of the churches were adopted by people, which provided the basic laws of modern Orthodoxy. Christianity has much more significance in many areas of life, such as science, medicine, and even philosophy. Faith in God, by definition, makes a person better, because you can communicate with God and get answers to many questions. If you have only recently become believers, or you have any doubts, we invite you to our friendly First Church Love team. We spend time together on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while on Sunday we hold Worship and study the Bible.
