I was using salvation the way Kosta was using it, not the way the scripture uses it which is the way I use it. That should explain it.

Oh, I must have missed what Kosaa said. However, I don't even have to read what he wrote. Kosta is VERY Orthodox. He KNOWS the Faith.

BD, you know scripture and your knowledge of it is impressive. You are, obviously, an intelligent man and your love of Scripture is evident. AND, you have a good sense of humor.

However, Kosta has those self-same attributes, AND, he thinks with the mind of the Church and so he "knows" Scripture better than you in that - oh, well, you know where I am going...

You are sola scriptura whereas Kosta Is Scripture, Sacred Tradition and Faith embedded in Divine Liturgy. Where you might, and have, come to conclusions about Scripture different than The Early Church Fathers, Kosta would not...

But, you know all of that...

That being said, I really do appreciate your contributions here, brother
