    Eastern Orthodoxy
    In many ways, Eastern Orthodoxy ends up in the same place as Roman Catholicism: a false gospel based on human works that ultimately deny our need for the once and complete atonement of Jesus Christ for our sins on the cross. Yet, Eastern Orthodoxy differs from Roman Catholicism (and true Biblical Christianity) in other areas. Find out why Eastern Orthodox people need the true Gospel of Christ, and why you should reject its claims of being the “true and original church” of the New Testament.
