I do not believe one can point to any one church and say "This is the true church". Frankly, most of those who judge in such a way have only done enough studies to "prove themselves correct", rather than taking an unbiased approach to the whole subject matter. I am familiar with Trenham’s material, as I felt it was the strongest ‘Ironman’ argument for Orthodoxy and approached it with a humble heart.

One example of an error in Orthodox doctrine is that no Bishop is married within the Orthodox Church, though you do find the occassional Priest who is married within the church. The reason you do not find any Bishops married and only a few Priests married is because of their approach to theology. With the Apostle Paul's commands to Deacons and Bishops we find the scripture to say that a Bishop is "to be husband to one wife". They read this as a prohibition against polygamy, rather than a commandment for the Bishop to be married. As a result of their belief that it is to steer Bishops away from polygamy, they go a step further and only allow non-married men to become Bishops. This is unscriptural and even hinted at by Paul to be a doctrine of devils (1 Tim 4 forbidding marriage).

Orthodox also teach that baptism is for remission of sins, which is a dispensational error that arises from not rightly dividing the Scriptures. (2 Tim 2:15)

Out of curiosity, would you say that because the leader of my church was not ordained by a Greek Orthodox bishop, that we are no church of God?

My opinion is that with the Orthodox Church, you have the best resemblance to early church teaching. Yet, this does not mean the Orthodox Church is free of all error. Which is concerning if they make the claim that their Tradition and teaching on Scripture is perfect. I would say they are the best preserved in the original Apostles teaching, though some Protestant Churches have made good strides to reach this. The problem is in the Protestant church, you have to convince people to agree with you. Within the Orthodox Church, they have a balance of powers and tradition that allows for near-perfect preservation of their dogma throughout time.

Some of the errors I have seen within the Orthdox Church are more a result of them attempting to be too careful with doctrine. Sounds odd, but one example is that no Bishop is married within the Orthodox Church, though you do find the occassional Priest who is married within the church.
