The Orthodox rely only on what was written up front, not latter day interpretations. Who would be in a better position to know?

Who?

How about...anyone willing to let the Bible speak for itself, rather than shackling himself to the accumulated errors of centuries of fallible men?

For that softball, I owe you a nice latte' or something if we ever meet. (Gyro?) For now... thanks!

Christ let the founders of the Church continue in error? Until the 20th century someone re-learned to re-read the Greek the Orthodox Church still speaks so they can re-understand the Gospels as they really are?

Those of today know more than the founding fathers who knew and where taught by the Apostles or new men who were taught by the Apsotles and had it explained to them first hand what the Gospels said?

Is the Nicean Creed still valid for this group you champion?

Just wait a few hundred years and see how beautiful is the church body created by men who presume they can read the Bible for itself without the "shackles" of the work of past biblical scholars, theologians and established practice. You and your ilk are bound to accumulate centuries of your own errors, and worse ones, I suspect, because you have the hubris to reject the wisdom of past ages. I should think a conservtive would know better.
