What are the basic doctrine/theological standpoint of someone who says they are "orthodox?" I don't know a whole lot about different denominations because I haven't researched them and that's my fault but I was just wondering if someone here could enlighten me on this particular one.

Orthodox is just like being catholic, only they don't have a pope. All the deacons, priests, and bishops follow a patriarch instead. They celebrate the divine liturgy almost exactly like the catholics do. Some people who call themselves orthodox (or catholic or christian) aren't really into it much, it depends on how religious your guy, but I would just talk to him. I'm catholic myself, but I've been to a lot of orthodox churches. There is actually a lot of really interesting history, liturgy, and christianity in the orthox churches, so I hope you have the opportunity to check it out. I pasted a link below that you might like.

There are three main branches of Christianity (denominations excluded): Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox. Most people know the difference between Protestant & Catholic, that is, the Protestants disagreed and broke from the Roman Catholic church. The split of Orthodox (sometimes called Eastern Orthodox) happened when Christianity was first developing as a major world religion.

As an Armenian, most of us are Christian-Orthodox. I, however, am Protestant, but I can give you a bit of background. They believe in the same things as most other Christians, but their values are more traditional. You walk into church, head covered. You light a candle, say a prayer, and listen to chants and hymns you don't understand. This is why I switched to Protestantism. I wasn't getting anything out of not understanding the prayers. At a Protestant church, I get to participate and leave with a full heart and God's word on my brain, rather than chants I don't understand. Both are good though, it just depends what you want to take out of it.

Jesus became no longer a Christian. That time period got here later. maximum 'Christians' I meet do not have a clue about what Jesus curiously suggested. He ought to no longer have constrained himself to Christian associates, because there have been no Christians round at the same time as he became alive. Jesus turned right into a fashionable and a socialist who believed in, and preached, equality. He became antagonistic to all sorts of discrimination. regrettably, his words were twisted and further to over the years. very such as what got here about to what Mohammed suggested. i guess the pair of them will be good associates, in the journey that they ever met. on the different hand, if there's a heaven, then they're probable drowning their sorrows and questioning how what they suggested would have led to a lot blood letting and conflict.

The orthodox believe in three finite men as God and if it is protestant orthodoxy faith apart from charity.
There is no completely correct orthodox doctrine.
Read True Christian Religion by Emanuel Swedenborg.

If someone says they are "Orthodox" that just means they follow the strict rules of their religion... Some people follow the religion but don't really concern themselves with all of the rules and others follow just about every rule the religion has.

orthadox can either refer to the eastern churches decended from the byzantine church that was centered in constantinople or it can refer to the party line of any church or organization. the way an organization normally sees things.
when i use the term i usually am referring to the mainstream christianity that all the christian churches( roman, byzantine and protestant) have in common.
