The earliest church which formed at Pentecost was the first Orthodox church, this happened soon after Jesus death. For the first almost thousand years there was only the Orthodox church until the Roman church broke away.
Paul had instructed Timothy as a young pastor: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15. The word for "stiudy" is spoudadzo, or to do diligence, be zealous. So a minister of the Gospel is to work hard to know the Word of God. Then the word for "rightly dividing" is orthotomeo, or cutting straight, guiding on a straight path. It is possible to guide down the wrong path, which would be heresy or heterodoxy.
The word for "approved" is dokimos, or genuine, tried and true, and has to do with God seeing that the preacher is not false in teaching, but genuine. Therefore the compound Greek word for "orthodox" means "approved guidance." God was to make Timothy, as a Pastor, an approved guider of the truth of His word. Orthodoxy started with the early church leaders, who were faithful to the word of God, guiding the believers down the right path.
Paul had stated a purpose for Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:3: "I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine," or heterodoxy. There were those who would corrupt the truth, "understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm." v. 7. Therefore, Timothy was to " war a good warfare" (v.17) against error and for the truth.
In history, orthodoxy dates back to the beginning of the church. After a schism in the church, the Orthodox and the Catholic split.
