You spoke well for your Orthodox brother! :)

Thanks. These discussions are showing me how much closer the two apostolic Churches are to each other (not to discount other apostolic Churches...)

FK, it all comes down to what our true nature is as opposed to that distorted one we are born with on account of the Sin of Adam.

I think this is a major hurdle for Protestantism, as their view on the anthropology of man certainly differs from Christianity's of 1500 years. It inevitably leads to their idea that man has no free will and God is somehow responsible for evil.

Regards

Show me how I believe that God is responsible for evil. I do not. The only thing I can fathom is my saying that God allows evil to happen. I have already said many times that this "omission" is not causal because God has no DUTY to prevent it. God doesn't OWE us anything.
