Familiarity with the history of Orthodoxy and religious beliefs
The term "orthodox" was used for the first time in Christianity in the first century AD by the father of the Greek clergy. Since almost all Christian groups hold their religious beliefs to be correct, the meaning of the word "orthodoxy" in a particular case can only be determined by examining the context in which it is used..
This term is used in the official title of the Greek Church known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and other affiliated churches. Also, the word "Orthodox" is mentioned in the title of a number of smaller eastern churches, which in the fifth century AD as a result of the "Monophysite controversy" (Belief that Christ has one nature) They separated from the Christian world and created a new sect for themselves.
In the Jewish religion, Orthodox Judaism is the title of a group of believers who strongly follow the old traditions in terms of beliefs and religious practices.. Accordingly, Orthodox Judaism rejects the modern views of Reform Judaism.
The term orthodoxy is also used to separate the tenets of early Islam from teachings such as the Mu'tazila teachings.
In the Protestant sect, Orthodoxy refers to a branch of this religion that is completely conservative in interpreting the Bible.. The term evangelical orthodoxy or evangelical orthodoxy is generally applied to those Protestant Christians who insist on the full validity of the literal meaning of the Bible and its inerrancy..
