  • Orthodox

    I’m sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that’s fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.

    That’s not a criticism from me. I’m Anglican.



  • The guy is really just not right about that. There was a lot of cultural mixing going around back in the early iron age, but Judaism borrowed much more from the Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Greeks than they did the Persians. And it also has a lot of very unique features as well.

    Yes there was also cultural exchange with the Persians that found it’s way into Judaism, but it’s just not correct to say it’s a copy.
