    Yes. Not the Jesus Christ of television preachers or popular American Fundamentalism, but the Jesus Christ of Christianity.

    If you have a very narrow, American, fundamentalist view of Jesus Christ and believe any deviation from this is wrong, then you will be edified by the Jesus Christ of the Russian Orthodox.

    Of course it does. It's a Christian faith.

    The Russians adopted Byzantine Rite Christianity, which evolved from the Christianity that developed under the Emperor Constantine, who was the first of the Roman emperors to declare Christianity a tolerated faith. So, the roots of Russian Orthodox Christian rites and rituals are very old.

    Yes, the Russian Orthodox probably founded by St Andrew, part of the original Catholic church.

    Yes luv! Russian and Greek Orthodox are Christian. You sound like a couple of Swiss guys, who when I mentioned Orthodox, in a discussion with a Croatian (Catholic) and his son, who was married to a Serb (Orthodox), interrupted me and told me that Orthodox refers to Jews.

    Yes. It is a branch of Christianity. It split with the Roman Catholic church in the Schism of 1054.

    Yes, but they have priests, icons, etc. that are not commanded and they do infant baptism which is incorrect as well.
