I can’t figure out what to say to those who refuse to acknowledge the patrimony of the Christian faith that is contained in the seven Ecumenical Councils. If all I get is protest that those are only the words of men, I find to place to engage that.
I will ask a question: If the Greek language , Greek concepts and Greek philosophy is not fit to express the faith, then what is? Recall how Paul engaged that culture on Mars Hill.
High five!
What part of pagan Greek philosophy expresses the Christian faith?
“Recall how Paul engaged that culture on Mars Hill.”
Indeed he appealed to what they believed just as Jesus did with the Samaritan woman when he said she worshipped in ignorance but worship of God must be done in spirit and truth.
That culture was not explaining truth to Paul but just the reverse. That culture considered Paul either mad or a chattering fool because of their concepts and philosophies.
So how would they express the faith?
Who said anything about the Greek language being “not fit”?
