Its a bit perturbing that this forum only seems to recognize the 3 divided types of Christianism: Protestant, Catholic, Orthodoxy.
I happen to consider such divisions the work of Satan, and those who buy into them have vested interests in collecting tithes, and thus are sacramentarians: not True Christians.
As a mystic, I see Christ's teachings as being transcendental to church. In the parable of the good Samaritan, he clearly shows that one's actions are what are vital, not which symbols one wears.

I wouldn’t add religion to that, but individuals just as all that I listed are individuals. I can’t generalize and say all atheists are like Mao ZeDong and Stalin, just as you shouldn’t generalize religion because of the actions of some religious leaders... Many blame Christianity for the crusades, but the crusades were political and the motivation was power and wealth by the Catholic Church. Christianity itself was not the motivation for the crusades. ahaa Catholic church ( Religion Checked) The pope*

I am not generalizing anything, merely stating the facts and its just not Christianity so no need to get butt hurt , islam , judaism and countless sects in them who just decide to pop out and make something even more fancier . Most wars in history had no religious motivation shrug

What about hesychasm? Hesychasm is a mystical tradition of contemplative prayer in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Apparently based on Jesus's injunction in the Gospel of Matthew that "when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray" hesychasm in tradition has been the process of retiring inward by ceasing to register the senses, in order to achieve an experiential knowledge of God. History shows us that this mystical tradition was not originally practiced by any church, but was gradually accepted over time by the Orthodox Church. Why are people claiming the Orthodox Church has been the same since its foundation when they are accepting new traditions over time? The Catholic Church is guilty of this same thing You are not that American D.T.. whose opinions really interest people!

How can you sit there and acknowledge that mysticism isn’t good then turn around and ignore the fact that your church practices a mystical tradition? Ignorance is bliss? Surely.

why do you always throw stones at me .. but I forgive you I throw truth at you and your feelings get hurt no guy .. you just write nonsense .. hesychasm is a practice of monks .. I'm not a monk. Your attempts to understand the essence of Orthodox life are similar to the attempts of a couple of gays to make a child .. I see it in your style of communication (I do not offend anyone, there's no point in it) Good night!

I didn’t say you practice hesychasm, I said the Orthodox Church does, which is the same church you place so much faith in and you don’t object to this mysticism? The point isn’t to offend, truth is the point.
