In Orthodoxy, “all the necessary doctrines were established long ago by the seven Ecumenical Councils. Anything beyond this is not recognized. Orthodoxy is not known for its doctrinal fluidity or flexibility. All these issues were resolved over a thousand years ago,” the scholar stressed.Orthodoxy rejects Christian Zionism, considering it and Protestantism as a whole as “essentially one big heresy,” according to Silantyev.

The Protestant faith from which Christian Zionism emerged is “prone to fragmentation, doctrinal change, and the formation of new ideas,” with some sects moving “very far toward Judaism,” creating the doctrine of Anglo-Israelism, the hybrid religious movement of “Judeo-Christianity,” says theology professor Roman Silantyev.
“A general characteristic of Protestantism, especially American Protestantism, is its strong leaning toward the Old Testament. Orthodoxy, on the other hand, is a religion of the New Testament, first and foremost,” Silantyev, the head of the theology department at the Moscow State Linguistic University of Religious Studies, explained.
In Orthodoxy, “all the necessary doctrines were established long ago by the seven Ecumenical Councils. Anything beyond this is not recognized. Orthodoxy is not known for its doctrinal fluidity or flexibility. All these issues were resolved over a thousand years ago,” the scholar stressed.
Orthodoxy rejects Christian Zionism, considering it and Protestantism as a whole as “essentially one big heresy,” according to Silantyev.
