The Gospel According to Eastern Orthodoxy

In recent years, the Eastern Orthodox Church has experienced a notable rise in popularity, particularly among young men seeking tradition, stability, and historical rootedness. But growth and appeal do not determine truth. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Samuel Farag offers a biblical evaluation of Eastern Orthodoxy by examining its official teachings in light of Scripture. This message addresses key doctrines such as icon veneration, Marian devotion, justification, and the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. Using Scripture as the final and sufficient standard, this episode asks whether the gospel proclaimed by Eastern Orthodoxy aligns with salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone—or whether it represents another gospel altogether. This teaching is a call to discernment, fidelity to Scripture, and confidence in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
