<p><strong>ABOUT THE EPISODE</strong></p><p>Many Christians assume that Eastern Orthodoxy does not deny the gospel like Roman Catholicism did at the Council of Trent (1545–1563). But the Eastern Orthodox Synod of Jerusalem (1672) has some very fiery words about Protestants.</p><p><strong>Sponsor</strong></p><p>This month’s sponsor is Grimke Seminary. Pastors are called to care for the church of God that God called them to. So why do seminaries require men to leave their church to pursue theological studies? At Grimké Seminary, you can get Christ-centered, theological training in the Reformed, Protestant tradition, without leaving your local church. They offer a range of pastoral studies for students of all backgrounds to serve your growth in ministry, from a Bachelor’s to a Doctor of Ministry.</p><p>To apply, go to <a href="http://grimkeseminary.org/">grimkeseminary.org</a> and use the code “christoverall” to have your application fee waived.</p><p><strong>Resources to Click</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://christoverall.com/article/longform/all-protestants-go-to-hell-eastern-orthodoxys-official-rejection-of-the-gospel-at-the-synod-of-jerusalem/">“All Protestants Go to Hell: Eastern Orthodoxy’s Official Rejection of the Gospel at the Synod of Jerusalem”</a> – Knox Brown</li><li><a href="https://catholicity.elcore.net/ConfessionOfDositheus.html">“The Acts and Decrees of the Synod of Jerusalem, Sometimes Called the Council of Bethlehem, Holden under Dositheus, Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1672”</a></li><li><a href="https://orthodoxchristiantheology.com/2022/12/21/the-delayed-synodical-receptions-of-the-councils-of-jasy-1642-and-jerusalem-1672/#:~:text=no%20synod%20has%20ever%20reneged%20on%20its%20reception">“The Delayed Synodical Receptions of the Councils of Jasy (1642) and Jerusalem (1672)”</a> – Craig Truglia</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_Orthodox_Church#:~:text=Division%20of%20the%20church%20%2813th%E2%80%9318th%20centuries%29%5Bedit%5D">“Georgian Orthodox Church”</a> – Wikipedia</li><li><a href="https://www.orthodoxhistory.org/2022/05/24/when-did-todays-autocephalous-churches-come-into-being/">“When Did Today’s Autocephalous Churches Come Into Being?”</a> – Orthodox History</li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miy8895oHPc">“Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox: What’s the Difference?”</a> – Theoria</li><li>Theme of the Month: <a href="https://christoverall.com/theme/go-west-young-men-evaluating-the-drift-toward-eastern-orthodoxy/">Go West, Young Men: Evaluating the Drift toward Eastern Orthodoxy</a></li><li><a href="https://christoverall.com/give/">Give to Support the Work</a><strong></strong></li></ul>
