#12823 What Divided Us From the Orthodox Church? Apostolic Succession - William Albrecht
1 seconds Posted Jul 28, 2026 at 11:00 pm.
– What originally divided us and the Orthodox Church?
– Which Churches outside of the Roman rite have apostolic succession and how are they traced? How are orthodox sacraments valid even though they are in schism?
– How do we respond to EO who use early church fathers on Matthew 16 and Isaiah 22 and claim it’s not about the papacy?
– What’s the difference between Orthodox Church and orthodox teaching?
– My brother married a Greek Orthodox woman. Does one have to be baptized in order to remarry there? I’m worried that he might have committed apostasy.
– Eph. 4 says to walk in unity. This episode is causing disunity by dissing the orthodox.
– The gates of hell will not prevail. If the Church were to proclaim error, what should the faithful do, go underground, go orthodox or what options would there be?
– I’m a southern Baptist. John 15 seems to support that the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father. Can you clarify?
– I recommend William and all his listeners to read the Alexandria document and the Chieti Document.
