Conceit is to say that you interpret the scripture guided by the Holy Spirit and 2,000 years of Church fathers did not.

2,000 years? Really? Guess I didn't get that memo. Doesn't seem close to real, to me.
Perhaps the author forgot to subtract out years for
. . . the pope with the orgies
. . . the Inquisition
. . . the unChristian political gamesmanships
. . . the UnChristian egotistical wars
. . . and . . .
. . . and . . .
Noting that we Orthodox have none of those yet still go back to the church fathers, not angry west europeons of questionable intellect, for our interpretations.
