Do OO and EO admit each other as the True church which was found by Christ and His Apostle in A.D.33?

No, they do not. At least not on an official level.

The EO don't say "you can't be saved". A famous quote from St. Theophan the Recluse is: "You ask, will the heterodox be saved... Why do you worry about them? They have a Saviour Who desires the salvation of every human being. He will take care of them. You and I should not be burdened with such a concern. Study yourself and your own sins... I will tell you one thing, however: should you, being Orthodox and possessing the Truth in its fullness, betray Orthodoxy, and enter a different faith, you will lose your soul forever." Now, I and some joint commisions don't think that the OO are heterodox. So if the heterodox can possibly be saved how much more so for the OO! Just my 2c though. I'm pretty infamous for my sympathy for the OO so you can take my sayings with a grain of salt. |

As Cyrillic and Mabsoota's posts have shown, there is some difference of opinion or point of view in this matter.  For instance, my priest, who is in no way an extremist, has stated in no uncertain terms that we will not under any circumstance be communing Chalcedonians in our church. At the same time, however, when the Copts first came to this area in the 1970s-80s, before there was a church for them, at least some of them used to commune at the local Greek Orthodox Church (with the Greek and Coptic bishops' full knowledge), as it was the only option in town. Now that we have our own church, the communion of Copts in the Greek church has stopped, because there's no need for it. So I think the most realistic assessment is to say that our recognition of one another as sharing substantially the same faith is very much affected by local, pastoral circumstances, so it is not possible to generalize based on official statements. Those statements reflect the truth, of course (that we are not in communion), but the reality might be a little different, depending on where you go. This is why many people have pointed favorably to local agreements (such as in the thread on the agreement between EO and OO in Sweden to regular meetings), while at the same time being realistic in recognizing that these do not, in and of themselves, mean that we are reunited or consider each other the same church or anything like that. Having been to EO churches before (actually long before I had ever been to an OO church; they can be very tough to find, and my home area does not have any, so the local OO go to EO churches...again, pastoral circumstances are so important in how we relate to each other), I can say that personally I see them as being much closer to us than any other communion. Probably if we had a visitor from one of their churches and they didn't say anything, most people wouldn't know based on their practice that they are EO (though of course abouna would not commune them without knowing who they are, and they would presumably know better than to try to be communed anyway). Little variations, like the difference in the sign of the cross, could be noticed, but you'd really have to be looking for them, and honestly nobody is watching a visitor and judging them like that, thank God. We even have Catholics who come to our liturgies regularly, and they're like family except that they cannot be communed. So on an official level we are still apart, but on an 'unofficial' level, we love everybody and wish that all would be saved, just as we want to be. How could we think otherwise and still pray as we do at the conclusion of every hour? "Have mercy on us, O God, and have mercy on us, who, at all times and in every hour, in heaven and on earth, is worshipped and glorified, Christ our God, the good, the long suffering, the abundant in mercy, and the great in compassion, who loves the righteous and has mercy on the sinners of whom I am chief; who does not wish the death of the sinner but rather that he returns and lives, who calls all to salvation for the promise of the blessings to come..." |

The salvation of anyone at the last judgment is a decision for God, not man. |

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.

I still don't understand why OO and EO would split-up and separate with each other until today even they believe the same faith.

It's horribly complicated. Some believe we share the same faith, but others do not. Even if we were to come to unanimous agreement that we share the same faith, there are so many historical hurdles to overcome (anathemas, councils, etc.) that we can't just say "we agree the same thing! let's commune!" - although I suppose we could very well do that, most people would rather hash everything out first. |

But no, there's no other OO church in the area, but the Coptic church is a little bit closer than the nearest EO one. It's a beautiful parish. Are you trying to make me doubt between OO and EO again? If that's your intention it worked. |

They will smother you in your sleep with a copy of the Tome. ^^ Posts like this one are why I as an OO do not think badly of EO (or future EO). They're too funny, even when they are making the wrong decision.    But Qawe is right...cymbals are not technically needed for liturgy, and weren't originally there (see Clement of Alexandria on instruments in the liturgy), and many liturgies I've been to don't use them at all. Some people are too in love with them to admit that they aren't actually needed.  I don't mind when they are used very sparingly (as in my parish), since it's better than having everything fall apart when/if our deacons lose the rhythm of the chant, but sometimes when I watch the Nativity liturgy from the Cathedral on Youtube (for instance), I have to turn it down when the cymbal comes up because they're a little too free and excited with it...I guess it doesn't help I can't stand Ibrahim Ayad's voice, and he heads the chorus...I should probably just stop watching it. It's not like there aren't alternatives... Deacons, deacons everywhere, and not a cymbal to clank  |

EO always claims itself as the Only True Church in this world.
But it seems that it is not good to tell people that the True Church of God split-up into two parts. Isn't it?
Why would the True Church of God separate into two group/ two Church?

The Church is one and undivided. The EO think the EOC is the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and and the OO think they're the OHCAC. |

I have serious beef with certain strains of non-Chalcedonian Christology. That's where my beef comes from, but I still want reunion talks.
From what I've seen, William simply doesn't like the OO because they complicate a hypothetical monolithic Orthodoxy.

i think both EO and OO are in the true church. I'm inclined to agree.  |

Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly. - Immanuel Kant
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. - Matt. 5:24

I find the kumbaya attitude taken by most in this thread to be really flawed. But who cares?

If we have to sing kumbaya together, can we at least bring the daff to make it a bit more bearable?  |
