Orthodox christian.

(The syriac orthodox church is the oldest church in history and has it's roots in the first christian communities. We also speak a dialect of the Aramaic language that Jesus spoke.)

I believe that's a tie between the Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church. They were both a part of early Christianity and were actually one church, then they separated in the Great Schism in 1054.

No, this is untrue. You are reffering to the greek-orthodox churches and the russian-orthodox churhes etc. They are very different, the syriac church is one of the Oriental-orthodox churches. They broke off from the other churches at 451

The Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, as it is more formally called, IS the oldest Christian church in history. So old that it is infact mentioned in the bible.

Acts 11:26
"and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch."

It is not only the oldest organized church in history, it uses the oldest liturgy, and even in a dialect of the original language.

People are unaware of this because of how history is always bent towards Europe.
We spend entire terms learning about Ancient Greece, while Mesopotamia is barely even mentioned. (even though most of the greek culture originated from Mesopotamia and Egypt)
Most common people even think that Aramaic is a dead ancient language, when in fact I can speak it.

I'm not perfect, I know I'm not and I accept this fact.  Even after a person gives their life to Christ, they'll still sin during their lifetime, that's simply a fact of the human condition.

This may hurt your feelings if you are deeply religious. Do not read if you feel you may get offended. I have warned you.

i am interested to see where this goes.... i hope it doesn't lead to another closing off of a section of the forums.



i know this is the debating corner, but "keep it clean", somewhat, if you know what i mean (as in take into account other's feelings). especially you, Anthony (pun).

I think that over the years, the several different god types that have been created are all really the same god, but humans have made it into something they can comprehend. I believe there is a higher power than mortals, we just cant comprehehnd it, so we make it into whats easiest for our mind to comprehend. I respect everyones views, and I do believe that humans have twisted much of what the real truth is over the years. At the same time, I also believe in the forces of nature and the living earth, along with druidism, and other natural magics. I also believe that humams are capable of things such as telekinese, telepathy, and things of unexplainable nature, we just havent found the key to unlocking it fully.

Sounds interesting. As long as your beliefs don't contradict science me and you get a long perfectly well. As for the telekenesis and all that weird stuff... Maybe there is some weirdo explanation. Maybe our existence, focused in the 3 main dimensions (and time) cannot allow us to comprehend such powers. String Theory and such gives rise to up to 10 dimensions. If String Theory is found to be true, maybe there is weird stuff in other dimensions we can't understand. Pretty awesome stuff. But it all comes down to science. Not God.

If you're looking for a good read, I recommend 'a Universe from Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss. It might open your mind a bit to life without a creator.

Science truly is beautiful. I think the notion of an intelligent creator is totally created by humans. I'd prefer there wasn't a God. Wouldn't it be more fascinating if everything we knew happened by complete accident?

READ IF YOU DARE:
These are some counterpoints to Legal's statement, I hope I don't offend anyone and apologize in advance if I do.
Spoiler:
I may come up with other points later, but this is what I've got for now.
Although FutureShadow, aren't the beliefs of your later statement generally contradictory to Roman Catholicism?
