Question on "2 Lungs" of the Church

[Magnus Maximus]

I wasn't taking it personally, see my reply in the other thread:

Thank you for the complement! But I've only been Orthodox for 2 years, (inquiring for 6) and still have a lot to learn. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some... And I'm definitely a pretty poor Orthodox Christian at that...

I am going to clean the following quote up from one of my favorite moves the Boondock saints, so it is not exact

88Devin you are so smart you make smart people feel dumb

Nothing personal--and you are one of the Smartest 20 somethings I have ever chatted with. But I will take the word of your church leaders over a 22 years old.

Jesus was only 12 yrs old and the Church leaders listened to him

Young LT Luke 2:42 and when He became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
46 And it came to pass, after three days, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,
47 and all those hearing Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
[Isaiah 11:6]

I don't think we can compare him to the Lord.

Not sure I understand...:o

Mag Max was referring originally to a young poster here & saying that said poster can't be compared to the Lord.

So maybe Mag Max can better explain it for both ye and us

Here's something I always wondered about. If the RCC and the EOC are the two lungs of the universal church, then which organs are the Oriental Orthodox, the Assyrians, the Anglicans, etc.? Does that make Jehovah's Witnesses the appendix?

 

[Sphinx777]

In human anatomy, the appendix (or vermiform appendix; also cecal (or caecal) appendix; also vermix) is a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum (or caecum), from which it develops embryologically. The cecum is a pouchlike structure of the colon. The appendix is located near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine.

The term "vermiform" comes from Latin and means "worm-shaped".

Thank you oh wise and mighty wiki-meister

Once again, we've fallen victim to random acts of senseless thread necromancy!

Hello dear friends. I have a question.
I saw this thread on the OBOB earlier mentioning "2 Lungs". Did this concept arise from out of the RCC or EOC? And what are the EOs views on it. Thank you and God bless

Move toward full communion between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches most important development of the Third Christian Millennium
The move toward full communion between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches is prompted by the Holy Spirit. It is the most important development of the Third Christian Millennium. It has extraordinary implications for the West, indeed for the whole world, at a critical time in history. Let us pray that it happens - for the sake of a world still waiting to be set free and reborn into the New World of the Church.

"Lungs"....hmmm, that's a new way to look at it...
