Actually, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. Do you get your doctrines from the Church Fathers, the Bible, the Church councils, or some combination of those?

Actually, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. Do you get your doctrines from the Church Fathers, the Bible, the Church councils, or some combination of those? For a Eastern Orthodox Christian, the authority that exist is Holy Tradition, which includes: 1) Holy Scriptures- We used the LXX rendering of the Old Testament, and the so called "Deutro books" (i..e., Wisdom, Sirach, Epistle of Jeremiah, etc) are part of our Canonical Old Testament. 2) The writings of the Holy Fathers and Mothers for the past 2,000 years. 3) The Holy Seven Ecumenical Councils: The Council of Nicea, 325, The Council of Constantinople, 381, The Council of Ephesus, 431, The Council of Chalcedon, 451, The Council of Constantinople II, 553, The Council of Constantinople III, 680, The Council of Nicea II, 787. These are the Seven Pillars of Orthodoxy. These Holy Councils have establish Holy Truth, and we refuse to differ from them in any respect. 4) Later Local Orthodox Councils and Confession of Faith. 5) 5) The Divine Liturgies and other liturgical texts. 6) Holy Icons. "The Tradition of the Church is expressed not only through words, not only through the actions and gestures used in worship, but also through art — through the line and colour of the Holy Icons. An icon is not simply a religious picture designed to arouse appropriate emotions in the beholder; it is one of the ways whereby God is revealed to man. Through icons the Orthodox Christian receives a vision of the spiritual world" ( Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia, The Orthodox Church, page 206). In IC.XC, Ramon |

Where does your church get its doctrine from? I'm a Methodist so the doctrine of my church comes from John Wesley but the dogma of my church comes from the Holy Spirit. |
