You wrote: "Again, you are being disengenious. I followed up my statement with a link that fully explains my words."

A link cannot fully explain anything. Post actual quotes from the info you are linking to. When you post to something that may be thousands of words long how is anyone to know what part you were relying on for support?

"And I will give you a lesson on logic - what you are doing is illustrated by the following example."

Oh, here we go:

"For the sake of argument I will write a sentence like 'Jesus is God'. And then write 'Jesus is the son of God.' What you are doing in all this is taking such short sentences of mine and writing back - aha! 'You contradict yourself - how can Jesus be God and the Son of God?' That is what you are doing in terms of debate tactics."

Nope. I never once did that. I actually showed how you were contradicting yourself. Look, there are only two possiblities here: 1) you're contradiction yourself, 2) you're writing in such a way that you appear to be contradicting yourself. I am not quoting out of context in any case. If your statements can't stand up to scrutiny then how is that my fault?

"Of course I would respond by linking an article on the Trinitarian aspect but then you would ignore that link."

The better thing to do would be to post an actual statement of evidence about the Trinity and then a link to FURTHER or explanatory information or the source of the quote. This way your statements are always compact, coherent, don't clutter a post with literally one or two dozen sentences that are all actually links, etc.

Brevity and clarity are always best.

And in any case, you still haven't shown a single example of cause and effect regarding the Franks. Theories and empty assertions just don't cut it. Romanides created a bogey man in the Franks. It was convenient for him. It also is a complete distortion of history.

Again, you are being disingenuous.

Did I not start the discussion - my first posted link was M. A. Claussen not Romanides and I posted an excerpted example from M. A. Claussen's work at least three times.

I posted Romanides because YOU brought him up not I. I thought it only proper a third party knows why you inserted him into the conversation.
