Why I Haven’t Converted to Orthodox or Catholic Christianity
In this thought-provoking episode, Ruslan KD unpacks the real reason he hasn’t converted to Eastern Orthodoxy or Catholicism—despite growing up Oriental Orthodox and having deep respect for high church traditions. Drawing from personal experience, theological study, and conversations with priests across Christian streams, Ruslan explores the debate around apostolic succession and the structure of church leadership. He challenges the common assumption that Protestants lack historical or biblical legitimacy and explains why many remain unconvinced by the high church claim to be the "one true church." This episode also features insights from the YouTube channel Biblical Understanding and tackles early church writings from Ignatius, Clement, and Jerome. Whether you’re Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic, or just curious, this conversation sheds light on the theological framework behind Ruslan’s convictions—and why he believes Scripture remains the final authority.
