Eastern Orthodox ☦️
"For Christ is King, and Priest, and God, and Lord, and Angel, and man, and captain, and stone, and a Son born, and first made subject to suffering, then returning to heaven, and again coming with glory, and He is preached as having the everlasting kingdom: so I prove from all the Sciptures."
-St. Justin Martyr, Dialogue w/ Trypho, Ch. 34
"In former times, God, who is without form or body, could never be depicted. But now when God is seen in the flesh conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. I do not worship matter; I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake."
- St. John of Damascus, Exposition Of The Orthodox Faith
"Christ's Kenosis becomes our Theosis"
-Hank Hanegraff
I believe in One God, The Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
AND in One Lord Jesus Christ, The Son of God, The Only Begotten. Begotten of The Father before all ages, Light of Light, True God of True God. BEGOTTEN, NOT CREATED, of ONE ESSENCE WITH THE FATHER, BY WHOM ALL THINGS WERE MADE.
WHO, for us men and for our salvation, HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, and was incarnate of The Holy Spirit and of The Virgin Mary, and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, Suffered and was buried; and on the third day He rose again, according to The Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of The Father.
He shall come again with glory to Judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
AND in the Holy Spirit, The Lord and Giver of life. WHO PROCEEDS FROM THE FATHER; who with The Father and The Son is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by The Prophets.
IN ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.
I acknowledge ONE BAPTISM for the remission of sins. I look for the ressurection of the dead and life of the age to come.
Amen.
Through the prayers of The Blessed Theotokos, My Patron Saint and Guardian Angel St. Demetrios, and all the Holy Father's, Saints, and Martyrs, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us, cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O Good One. Amen.
