ORTHODOX: Oriental Orthodox

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
2 Timothy 2:23
Oriental Orthodox tend to be Amillennial, Sacramental and Episcopal. They use the Aprocrypha the way the Eastern Orthodox do and hold the same views on "Easter". A difference from Eastern Orthodox is that they use different books placed in the back of the Bible (such as 1 & 2 Clement, Gospel of Thomas, etc.---varies by denomination) as canonical. They are adamant that Christ had 2 natures intertwined as one nature, whereas the rest of Christendom tend to believe He had a distinct human and a distinct divine nature. This is their "unlearned question" they are obsessed with.
Also practice Veneration of saints.
