Cyprian, thanks again for your explanation of what is a very complex subject especially to someone like myself who now begins to understand a little about it for the first time. The key to it all is, of course, the split which occurred in the Church of Rome around 400 AD with one branch going off to Constantinople. That branch as I understand it is the root of the Orthodox Christian movement. I can see now why Orthodox Christians regard the other "Christians" as imposters and I can also see how, once the church has meddled in the "official" doctrine there's no end to it as we see, for example, with the Zionistic Scofield Bible and with homosexuals and women being ordained as priests. It also stands to reason that the non-Orthodox "Christians" must regard the Orthodox as threats to their existence and I'm sure that over the years they must have tried to persecute them. It's also clear to me that the non-Orthodox "Christians" are always ready to change their principles in order to participate in the power politics of the day as we see for example in Britain, with the Anglican Church, and in the US, with the Evangelists.
