      HOW HER RIVALS IN RELIGION COUNTERFEITED THE PROPHECIES
      Apostolic Christianity, as a religion supremely superior to paganism, caused widespread upheavals in the world. So strong were her prospects of success that Jesus and His apostles were fearful of the great deceptions that would come because of imitations and counterfeits. To make a clear cut distinction between these counterfeits and genuine Christianity, new light from heaven was needed. Such revelations were provided in the last books of the New Testament. All the troth's needed to chart the future course of gospel believers were to be found in the messages from the apostles.
      There is little point in claiming that a certain church or doctrine came down from the days of the apostles. Sin came down from the days of the apostles, and the devil also was active at that time and before. It is not so much what came down from the days of the apostles, as what came down from the apostles themselves. Even in his day the apostle Paul wrote: “The mystery of iniquity doth already work.” The growth and final form of the mystery of iniquity which was already operating before Paul’s death is seen more clearly in the stow of the Church in the Wilderness.
      THE APOSTOLIC ORIGINS OF THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS
      The rise of Christianity and the spread of the Church in Syria was startling in its rapidity. IN CONTRAST with the four hundred years of silence between Malachi and Matthew, the coming of the great Redeemer brought to the world a powerful, stimulating message and introduced a marvelous new era. None of the prophets before Him had been permitted to change the bases of the dispensation introduced by Moses. Jesus Christ, however, was that Prophet predicted by Moses who was to usher in a new dispensation. He gave to man a new revelation from Jehovah. The twelve apostles, going forth to promulgate the teachings of Jesus, formed the charter membership of the apostolic church which flourished for about five hundred years. Then gradually the combined heretical sects seized the power of the nations and drove the true church into the wilderness.
      Paul was willing to risk his life by performing the required ceremonies in the central sanctuary of Israel if only he might avert a rupture between Gentile and Jewish Christianity. He knew that the Gentile believers had received only a meager training in the profound truths of the gospel. Is it for this reason that practically all his epistles are written to the young, inexperienced Gentile churches? Moreover, in vision he foresaw the crushing opposition which would grow into an apostate church and which would PURSUE THE TRUE CHURCH FOR 1260 years, and therefore, he yearned to link the new Gentile churches to an experienced Judaism which had turned to Christ.

      Paul planted the gospel in the midst of the people who spoke the Greek language, that medium through which God was pleased to transmit to the world the most exalted of all literature, the Greek New Testament. The first revelations given to the gospel church were written in Greek.
      In later days a deep hatred sprang up between Greek and Latin churches, and Greek and Latin ecclesiastics hurled bitter words at one another. These theological controversies arose because both churches had grown ambitious and had allied themselves with kings and emperors. At length, in 1054, the Greek and Latin churches separated. Long before this the Latin state church feared the effect of the accumulated stores of Greek literature. Latin was made the ecclesiastical language of Western Europe. THE GREEK LANGUAGE, WITH ITS LITERATURE, WAS CONDEMNED BY ROMAN ECCLESIASTICISM, ITS STUDY FORBIDDEN, AND ITS WRITINGS ANATHEMATIZED. Ireland’s Celtic church in the medieval ages remained a center for instruction in Greek long after it had virtually disappeared elsewhere in Western Christendom. The knowledge of Greek was declared in the universities of the Latin hierarchy to be full of daggers and poison. For more than one thousand years it ceased to exist in the Teutonic kingdoms of Europe, except in the bosom of Greek and Celtic Christianity, and with those evangelical bodies which looked to the Scriptures as their only authority.
      The repulse of the Greek church by the Latin hierarchy left the former as a buffer between the astounding activities of Christianity in the East and the victorious sword of the papal kingdoms of Western Europe.

      Some 'details' you forgot that are not details for us orthodox christians :
      Humbert de Moyenmoutier was the main reformist during the gregorian reformation of the roman church that took place in 1050, 4 years before he went to Constantinople.
      The gregorian reformation is the true reason of the schism as it founded the papal monarchy, using as model the roman and german empires.
      It gave to the pope the insignia of the emperor such as the red garnment and the sovereignty over the kings in the west.
      It created cardinals who have the role and insignia (purple) of the roman senate.
      It gave to the new state a chancellor who was no other that cardinal Humbert de Moyenmoutier.
      This was a great scandal for the Greeks, since it contradicted directly the inscructions of Jesus to the apostles when they asked who will be the first among them. Jesus replied "The kings of the nations rule over them and call themselves benefactors. Let not it be this way among you."
      For the Greeks it also fullfilled the vision of Saint John in the book of Revelation when the wife (jesus' wife =Church) corrupts herself with all the kings and becomes the Greate Prostitute, the one whit a corrupted chalice (doctrine).

      Romans 10:13-15 King James Version (KJV) "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?" According to the Bible, you have to call on the name of Jesus and it must be in belief (faith) in order to be saved. But it is impossible to pray in faith while being scared about your own salvation. Try calling on Jesus while praying for others and that may help your faith. But you cannot be saved if you have the smallest amount of doubt. Interpreting scripture can lead to these conclusions if one accepts scripture as true.

    You left out the fact that that the Pope shut down the Greek churches in southern Italy and Sicily unless they used the Latin rite, which is why the Patriarch shut down all Latin churches in Constantinople as a response, it was an outrage to them. Plus it was decreed that only Ecumenical councils could alter the creed, which is why the Papacy changing the creed was an outrage.

      I'm sure it seemed existential to the players in the day. But now it seems sort of obscure. And yet these two faith traditions that follow Jesus Christ intimately are divided. Not sure that's what Christ wants.
      And why it exists today is beyond me. The wide variety of Catholics and the wonderful Orthodox people that I know seem very much the same. Is this now about two hierarchies retaining tradition?
      Perhaps Christianity writ large is stronger with two traditions. When one errs, the other can present a faithful meaningful critique. Competition for the improvement rather than complacency?

      It seems these obscure (but important?) differences pale when thinking of Christ's own command (suggestion/desire?) for church unity.
      Do the current schismatic differences between Orthodoxy or Western Catholicism do a substantially better job of aiding followers to a good life and salvation when so few can explain the points you presented? Do their well known similarities aid the faithful more? I do no know the answer.
      Today the division seems a more about the traditions of the men in the pointy caps than serving Christ and the salvation of the members.

There's a right way to do it, we believe in the teachings of the early church fathers and 7 ecumenical councils, but the Catholic Church has the Pope determine tradition, so it changes on a whim.
      Your third question won't have a clear cut answer because you have to establish what a good life is and what salvation is. We have our own ideas, but you have to decide for yourself what that is, so it's kind of difficult to answer that question.

      If you are not at liberty to say the name of Jesus around others then place your phone far enough away and go to an isolated place and say His name. Now read this carefully... "For by grace are ye saved through faith..." - Ephesians (Bible) (we need to figure out what having FAITH physiologically feels like)
      "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." - James (Bible) (If you humble yourself before God he is more likely to give you grace, which is unmerited favour: God can help people to have faith if they humble themselves before him: often praising Jesus takes humility: people with good emotional intelligence might be able to detect when they have more faith or less faith: but you must worship God in spirit and in truth i.e. with sincerity)
      "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." - Hebrews (believe that God will reward you - therefore God is good - this is why bitterness against God is dangerous when it comes to salvation)
      "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?" - Romans (Call on the name of Jesus in faith. It can take years to learn to pray in faith for salvation because of fear of not being saved: fear for salvation opposes faith for salvation). Praying for someone you sincerely care about can help deal with fear and may help to say the name of Jesus in faith.

Sort of like the non-Chalcedon (i.e. Oriental) miaphysite/monophysite issue: professing the same thing, just in different words that fit the language used.

    When the Ottomans were about to conquer Istanbul, the Byzantine Empire was in a poor state. The Europeans said they would help only if Byzantines converted to Catholicism. But the Byzantine Empire was the head of Orthodoxy, so could not obey the Pope. Immense hostility existed between the two branches of Christianity for various historical reasons. Even so, on 12 December 1452, a ceremony was directed by Cardinal Isidore, sent by the Pope. Byzantine leader, the Great Duke Notaras, interpreted his people's feelings with this famous saying: " I would rather see the Turk's turbans in Byzantium than Latin's hats. "

    The Great Schism of 1054, in my historical analysis, was one of the most catastrophic events for medieval Christianity (and for Christian history as a whole).
    Note: The Great Schism of 1054 was catastrophic not only within the religious aspect, but it was also catastrophic militarily and politically. In my historical analysis, the Schism was catastrophic due to three main factors (which are interconnected):
    • 1) The division of the Latin and Greek churches only reinforced the rivalry and disagreements between Constantinople and Rome.
    • 2) The Schism of 1054 directly led to the Latin invasion of Constantinople in 1204. Had it not been for the religious division between Latins and Greeks, Enrico Dandolo's Venice would never have sacked Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204). The 4th Crusade, in turn, led to the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
    • 3) The Fall of Constantinople itself. The Fall of Constantinople (Άλωσις της Κωνσταντινουπόλεως), undoubtedly, was a direct consequence of the 4th Crusade.
    Note (2): In my historical analysis, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire was completely "decreed" in 1204, not in 1453. The 4th Crusade simply destroyed all the efforts made during the so-called Komnenian Restoration (1081-1180), which was carried out by the emperors Alexios I Komnenos (1081-1118), John II Komnenos (1118-1143) and Manuel I Komnenos (1143-1180). Moreover, the 4th Crusade further weakened the city that once represented the "pride of the Christians" ("Η υπερηφάνεια των Χριστιανών"), the "shield of Christianity" ("Η ασπίδα/ προστασία του Χριστιανισμού"), the "queen of the cities" ("Η βασίλισσα των πόλεων") and the "queen of the east" ("Η βασίλισσα της Ανατολής"): Constantinople! After the fall of Constantinople, therefore, all of Medieval Europe Christian world was threatened. The "shield" that Constantinople represented was "broken".
    The Schism of 1054, therefore, indirectly contributed for the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.

      The Orthodox Serbs manned the military frontier against the Ottomans for 500 years keeping the Croatian Catholics safe well behind the front line . Then in 1912 the Serbs in the Ottoman Empire who had kept their Christan faith while under Muslim occupation liberated themselves with no help from the Western Christians . Then in 1918 the Serbs liberated the Croats from Austro-Hungarian occupation and instead of creating a Greater Serbia which the allies would have gladly given them they instead entered a union with their Slavic brothers. As soon as possible ie 1941 the Croats sided with the monster Hitler and exterminated the Serbs in their short lived puppet state . In 1995 they completed the job in the biggest ethnic cleansing operation of the wars of the 90s.

    First of all, it must be emphasized that all the texts of the New Testament were first written in Greek. Therefore, it is logical for the Greeks to fully understand the meaning of the scriptures without any traslation. In the scriptures, and specifically in Greek, it writes "I also tell you this; that you are Peter and on this stone of your confession I will build my Church unscathed". Meaning, Christ is not going to build his church on Peter, but on Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God. Also, the Apostles were equal apostles among themselves. No one was superior to the other. Also Pope John VIII also participated in the 8th Ecumenical Council. It was there that filioque was convicted for the first time. Obviously the Papal Church thinks that dogma is food and you can add salt whenever you feel it is tasteless.

That is the attitude of a dictator; not a charitable, Christian attitude. I'm not surprised that the people in the East at a certain point lost patience with Rome.

      the pope actually wanted a divided italian pensinsula fragmented and not united under a central power because it was much easier to exploit it and for the pope to survive as a temporal ruler
      for 1500 years the popes tried with all thier effort to undermine and prevent any kind of complete pensinsular power slowing down the process of national unification and creation of national powers that in other states was already complete in 1500-1600 while in italy would come to an end only during the late industrial revolution period and near the beginning of the last century
      when the normans invaded southern italy the pope recognized their conquest and by that act created the kingdom of sicily, a kingdom that with many denomination(neaples, 2 sicilies) and rulers (germans emperors, aragonian french and spanish kings, ausburgs emperors), will only come to an end in 1860 during italy unifications wars
      that is also true from a territorial gain perspective because with the catholics normans kings the enitre sothern italy would become a latin territory reducing greek and orthodox influence in the peninsula

    Latin Empire(Catholics), 1204-1261.
    The Latin conquest of Constantinople was a disaster for both the Greeks and ultimately, for the Western Europeans. The former unified territory of the empire was fragmented into several competing states, some ruled by Byzantine princes, other by Latin feudal lords. Warfare among these small competing states became constant- the only beneficiaries were the Muslim Turks in Anatolia, who used the feuding of the Christians to extend their domain to the shores of the Aegean Sea. It again appeared that the empire was on the verge of extinction.
    However, a military savior arose to rally the last vestiges of Byzantine power. Michael Palaeologus (1259-1282), the emperor in exile at Nicaea, managed to reconquer Constantinople from Latins in 1261, establishing the last Byzantine imperial dynasty.

    What I find interesting is that the actions that the Eastern Orthodox Church accuses the Catholic Church of doing are the very same they committed against the Orient Orthodox Churches and the Church of the East. I myself am a member of an Antiochene Church (Maronite), and we have many stories about how the Church of Constantinople tried to impose their form of worship, who was going to govern over us, etc. Including requiring that our Divine Liturgy be said in Greek instead of Syriac-Aramaic, that the Patriarch of Constantinople appoints the Patriarchs of Antioch, Alexandria and Jerusalem instead of the local clergy electing them. The Byzantine's where so oppressive the Christian Communities of the Middle East and Egypt invited the Muslims to take over since it was felt that the Muslims could be no worse than the Byzantines in their treatment of non-Byzantine Christians. Also, while the Roman Church was not a picture of innocence, they had reasons for acting as they did like the closing of all Latin Churches and murder of the Latin Community in Constantinople numerous times.
    The disagreements between the Pope and the Patriarch was not over who is the head of the Church (the Ecumenical Councils settled that, but what authority and powers that office has.

      You mean the Pope not wanting to listen to his peers in the East? For Constantinople patriarch was just one of several Eastern leaders, who were united on the question with him. So it was one Pope (basically just one of the apostolic origin bishops), against other bishops of apostolic origin - Patriarchs.

      @@adrianlima2776 So? Other bishops that were installed not by apostles but by the Pope or his authority. I am talking about bishops with direct Apostlolic origins. Those who we today call Patriarchs, Popes, etc. The Pope wanted to usurp the ultimate authority on what was right or wrong. Eastern churches said that only an ecumenical assembly could have such final and definitive authority. The Pope decided to go his own way, using the fact that by the time the West grew stronger while the East got weaker, being constantly under pressure from the “global south” of those times. As usual, the betrayal was, is, and will ultimately get punished. Don’t cry now about Arabs and Turks on European streets. Remember when Eastern Rome asked for help and the West ransacked, burned and destroyed Constantinople. The riches they got, hard to imagine. But, the winter came for House Fray.

    The funniest thing about the Filioque is that it means almost nothing in the first place. Believing or disbelieving the Filioque does not result in any changes of behavior at all for anyone who is not currently in the act of reciting the Nicene Creed. It's not like believing or disbelieving that all priests should be celibate, which has a very real effect on people's lives. It's just something Rome changed just to show off that they could.

    It's important to note that, by the time of the Great Schism, the Eastern Orthodoxy had already seen the Western Catholics swallow up groups like the Irish church, the Saxon church, etc., etc. and dominate those churches to the point where none of those churches could make decisions for their unique cultures. The Eastern Orthodoxy likely did not want the same to happen to them.

    The Creed was not composed by the Council of Nicea, it was originally composed by the twelve Apostle's themselves. That is why the Creed has twelve article's of faith. They went into prayer for (I believe) nine days, and after that they prayed for the Holy Spirit to come over them. Then each one of them pronounced an article of faith, directly inspired by the Holy Spirit. Mary, the Mother of Jesus was present.

    Well... with the Latin church’s interpretation of how God functions and how our religion is, there was a large problem during those times as the Latin church believed (and later, this became the standard belief for Protestants and Orthodox Christians) that the Holy Spirit and the Son were not an extension of the Father, but equal persons (the former belief that God is the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit are extensions with distinct roles under God the Father, this belief was displaced by the belief of “three equal persons” under a God-head).
    It’s interesting as questions are raised, such as: “Why are there three Gods in Christianity?” (The mistake coming from three -Equal- persons under a God-head). Jesus said himself that God “taught” Him (the root word in Greek being “to impart knowledge” and/or “to instruct”), implying there was a time when God the Father knew more than Jesus. If God the Father knew more than Jesus, how is Jesus equal to the Father?
    Also, why would Jesus sit at the right of God the Father? Why would the Bible describe it that way instead of equalising the positions? The language would be “Jesus and God sit together” if that were the case, not Jesus having an important role but God the Father clearly having a more “senior” position (if you will).
    The point I am trying to make is that God the Father is ‘God’ with Jesus and the Holy Spirit as His extensions, still the same “material” or “substance” that is God but distinct and UNDER God the Father. They are still divine, but God the Father is ‘The God’ and Jesus is his ‘son’.
    I am not trying to say that “Jesus is nothing, he is not God” merely that He is not God the Father whom is above all things including Jesus.
    I’m not sure if I explained it well enough...

    You cannot discuss "Filioque" without first addressing the Trinitarian question, which plagued Church Councils since the very first Council. The nature of God, the relationship between the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit's involvement in this was far from clear or agreed for almost a thousand years. The Eastern church was more heavily influenced by Judaism, which was strictly monotheistic and the concept of a Triune deity would have been anathema. The concept is not explicit in the New Testament.
    The Western Church was much more heavily influenced by philosophical thought and read much of it into scripture and oral Christian tradition. The first Council's creed was by no means expressing a Triune deity and it took several hundred years before any agreement on the structure (if any) of the Trinity began to express itself into the Creed. Even then, the Eastern Church preferred a hierarchical Trinity, whereas the Western Church preferred a Trinity that was fully co-equal, co-eternal and co-substantial. Hence the "Filioque" disagreement. "Filoque" means "and from the Son", which is an expression around the provenance of the Holy Spirit. According to the Eastern Church, the Spirit proceeds only from the Father. The Western Church would have it proceed also from the Son.
    Of course, the political differences and power games between the bishops of the East and West went far beyond doctrinal issues, but the disagreement over the nature of the deity provided sufficient basis for the final schism.
