Galatians 6:16: St. Paul calls the Church "the Israel of God."
Orthodox Christians believe that rabbinic Judaism is a different religion from biblical Judaism, and that Christianity superseded biblical Judaism. There are dozens of videos of Orthodox priests and monks talking about how Christians were deceived into supporting Judaism and the country of Israel, when the Church itself is the biblical Israel.

The entire point is that biblical Jews that the verse refers to no longer exist. There are no Jews that share spiritual blessings or give material blessings. Biblical Judaism was just the predecessor to Christianity, which was holy. All of the deplorable shit from Judaism comes from Talmudic Judaism (rabbinic). "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal," "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed," "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age." All comes from the Talmud and has zero connection to the Old Testament or biblical Jews.

Only in Rabbinic Judaism did the meaning of goyim shift from meaning "nations" in the Bible to specifically referring to non-Jews distinguishing Israel from other people.
Why would I join orthodox? If anything, I would return to Catholicism. I was baptized and went through common sacraments. I should return since I want a wife (preferably non-whore) that wants children
I wanted to join the Orthodox church on my town when I was on my "uncertain" phase, but now I feel quite certain that God does not real.
No animosity towards religion, though. I try to live ascetically (at least compared to a normie), I just don't thave that "spark of faith" in me anymore.
I like watching Father Spyridon on Youtube sometimes, still.

why? >big gaudy Ottoman style designs, crazy ass chandeliers, and shit
Oh, well then of course. Poorly designed layouts from the 1st century are probably what Yahweh likes the best.
Is that where magic comes from? Really busy artwork and gold highlights?
