Sorry my phone was messing up

This is just one thing

Honestly everything EXCEPT catholic history says he was not Christian and still worshipped the sun not the Son

Was the Emperor Constantine a True Christian or Was He a Secret Pagan?

Please address the rest of what I said

Also tell me would the true church of Christ wage a unholy war? I speak of the crusades

The head of the church is Christ Catholics say the head is the pope

If you say I error in what I say about Catholics please visit the Vaticans website

we're not Rome. why would you use anti-Catholic apologetics against non-Catholics?

You protestants and your disdain for the crusades. I suppose we should be happy Egypt, Syria, and Turkey are now all Muslim.
Again people READ WHAT IM SAYING

I am NOT PROTESTANT

so you say its okay to do evil so good can come please reference the Bible to see what it says on that matter

The only justified wars are the ones God said to do I speak of the OT outside of that please show me where God said to go to war

If you believe in Sola Scriptura, I'm gonna call you a protestant. You sound like you believe in Sola Scriptura if a war must be in scripture for it to be just.

I doubt your denomination/theology existed prior to the Reformation. And I'll call you a protestant if you believe in protestant core beliefs.

The main TAW forum is for fellowship and discussion. If you wish to debate with regards to a thread in the main forum, start a new thread in the St. Justin Martyr’s Corner: Debate an Orthodox Christian forum and link it to the original thread. You may add a link in the original thread and it will not be considered off topic. Non-members may debate in the St. Justin Martyr's Corner. (From the Statement of Purpose).

Per the site rules: Please treat all members with respect and courtesy through civil dialogue.

Even though the OP requested the reasons why Protestants view Orthodox and Catholic differently, this isn’t a place to debate or teach against the Orthodox Church.

That said, all are welcome in fellowship. We all need to treat each other with courtesy.

I did because the stuff you said about St Constantine is inaccurate. plus call no man Father.

neither of those has anything to do with the Crusades.

This is the Orthodox sub-forum.
The OP was by an Orthodox poster, asking the question of other Orthodox members.
Because this is, you know, the Orthodox section.

We have no problem with posts that are made in fellowship by others.
However, you have come in as a protestant and started arguing against Rome.
We are neither.

My phone don't show me these things I have a old phone all I seen was the OP I did not see this is orthodox section so thank you for telling me this NOW I know

Second to call me protestant would be like me calling you catholic WHICH NOW I know you are not and I have enough respect to not call you what you say you are not would be nice to receive the same level of respect

No worries; it is easy to miss which forum you are in, especially on the mobile version. Please do feel free to post in fellowship here! We definitely can discuss things more candidly (all posting) in the debate sub-forum as well if desired.

Christians who knew him wrote his biography. I think they would know, and they affirm his Christianity...

Eusebius' history would be a good place to start.

not sure about what teachers have to do with this, but St Paul calls himself father.
