“In the end the Catholic faiths deny revelation, especially the Greeks with their faith in their pagan philosophers negative theology, and with this denial of revelation down goes the doctrine of God and especially the person and work of the Holy Spirit.”

Lucky thing the HS woke up after that 1500 year nap and inspired Calvin, eh? Left to the Orthodox, doubtless Christianity all over would have ended up resembling the smoking church ruins Bush’s foreign policy has created throughout the East. Looked at another way, maybe Bush’s destruction of Orthodox and Eastern Christian communities is the fulfillment of Calvinism’s purpose in the world. What do you think, tc?

Sounds like you have an axe to grind, K.

But no, I love the Patristics except for their negative theology and so did Calvin and Luther. Unfortunately your co-congregants have turned secular and liberal.

And what does ‘Bush’ have to do with these threads? You just can’t wait to bash our President, can you? Disgusting.
