I understand your views are your views but nobody, and I mean no orthodox Church Father interpreted the Sacred Scriptures and formulated doctrines consistent with what you posted. End of discussion and God bless.
How can this be? Is Scripture like a foreign language, or cryptic code, that it has to be interpreted? I've heard complaints about how those very same Church Fathers made up the Gospels themselves. I find it amazing how they didn't even try to justify their own claims in that writing. Instead, what they supposedly wrote contradicts their own claims and actions, and fixed those contradictions permanently in doctrine through the applicaiton of democratic process.
God Bless.
