Havoc - You may want to look at the context of this statement by Dave before you rip into him with such anger. The person he was debating was arguing that the term Theotokos does not mean "Birthgiver of God," as has been maintained at least since 431 and the council of Ephesus, but rather "God of Usury." The debate got rather silly, and many - including very knowledgeble NC's like angelo and bassman - tried to get him to see his mistake. But he continued to claim that the only valid meaning for the term was the one that he could construct out of the appearance of its root components, The- and tokos, in Scripture via Strong's. This is why Dave was telling him that Scripture didn't matter in this case. Sorry, didn't rip into him with any anger, I just made statements. If I were going to rip into him in anger, he would know it and so would you.
Sorry, didn't rip into him with any anger, I just made statements. If I were going to rip into him in anger, he would know it and so would you. Your posts have lots of anger in them. One need only look at some of the other threads and this thread to see that.
People are not intimidated by you, Havoc.
