I see. So the only truth that there is in the world outside of the Catholic Church is Greek philosphy. Is that right up to today re Greek philosophers?

What is it with you? So much hatred...

I answered your question and gave you AN EXAMPLE. I didn't say that the ONLY truth outside of the Catholic Church was Greek philosophy.

I see. I'm only trying to get to the bottom of some understanding, but you imply that I am full of hatred. For whom? What makes you think that?

Can you at least tell me then how the Catholic Church came to understand that it has all the fulness of Christ?

see because here's a problem I'm having trouble with. Per your church fathers, there is no salvation possible, outside of your Catholic Church. The Catholic church, apparently, somehow became the respository of all the fulness of Christ. I don't know how this happened.

We know that the church of the Colossians had it at one time, because Paul in his letter to them, said they did. But that was then and just to them, nobody else. That is what you said in an earlier post, that letters written to those churches were to them only, not to us certainly.

.I have searched the epistle to the Romans and nowhere do I see that Paul took it away from the Colossians and gave it to the church at Rome! I wonder then, when did they get it?

Another little problem is that from this thread, I deduce that the OC believes one thing about Adam, and original sin, etc., but the CC believes another. You can't both be right, so some church fathers somewhere have been faking.

You claim that Greeks with some knowledge of the logos have the truth as well as the CC. I have to think then that perhaps Kolo's church is right as opposed to yours, because they are Greek, maybe even descended from the Colossians who we know for sure had the fulness of Christ back in the day.

However, what do we do with Philo? He understood the Logos, even explaining it both to the Greeks as well as the Jews. I wonder how he understood it, being Jewish. I just don't know.
