You Eastern Orthodox do make it terribly difficult to pick fights, though; here I compose a perfectly good Theological Brawling post, and instead you turn it into an opportunity for meditation and reflection. Humph!! Bah, humbug!! [grin])

You did cause me to reflect on the different views of the Crucifixion for most of the day. I hope that doesn't ruin your evening too :^)

I didn't ruin my evening before, and it doesn't now. I continue to be happily gratified at the breadth of God's Providence, far beyond what a Theological Brawler like myself could ever intend.

If I, in a spirit of (well-meant) Argumentation, have somehow managed to say anything which is in any way beneficial to the Edification of my Eastern Orthodox sisters and brethren... well, then I guess that God must have Predestined it for the Good.

We Fremen have a saying: "God created the Earth to train the Faithful."
One cannot go against the Word of God.
