Sacrificial Language in the Book of Romans

Though Protestant commentaries often see no logical connection between St. Paul's words and regular ecclesiastical life, and thus deem this passage figurative, the connection is not figurative for those living within a traditional ecclesiology conditioned by the patristic witness.

Looks like you're having a hard time deciphering just what might constitute a legitimate "caucus" for your beliefs. If you post articles that don't compare or comment upon other beliefs outside the intended caucus, then the caucus designation will stick.

It's really not that complicated.

He's a newb, that might need some direction/correction by the appropriate moderator.

Enunciating Catholic/Orthodox beliefs for the benefit of caucus members seems to fit.

What Paul said in Romans made a lot of sense to me and was easy to understand. I have no idea what you are trying to say.

It’s sort’a Clockwork Orangeish in that rzman21 is posting nonstop and trying to keep our eyes peeled to the screen perhaps to alter (altar?) our behavior and convert to Catholicism.

I believe so. We’ve had some good Catholic/Orthodox threads in the past. Hope to see still more.

Off topic, but..

There’s a link to a book by Kallistos (Timothy) Ware at the article. I’ve seen him mentioned quite a bit and was wondering if you or anyone else had read him and could comment..

Thanks knarf. I think you are right. He is also trying to sell stuff that makes no sense.

The article does not qualify for a caucus because it mentions the beliefs of non-members who therefore have an interest in speaking for themselves.

Metropolitan Kallistos has a number of good books on Amazon.

Like the “Orthodox Church” for starters.

I met him once.

I am not an evangelical. I am not a protestant. I am not a Catholic. Now, back to my original thought: why don’t you recognize Acts 2 as the beginning for the church?

>>Though Protestant commentaries often see no logical connection between St. Paul's words<<

What are the rules for a caucus thread again?

[rzman21]

I’ll edit out all reference to Protestants in the future.

If you post articles that include it even in the site listed it will be found out even if you don’t include it here. Either way what you just admitted is that you intend to deceive. Interesting.

Please make this an Ecumenical posting.

It’s too late, antagonism has been sown.
