[Kolokotronis]

“Yet we also believe that the so-called truly “inspired” were only the Apostles, and the Church as a whole (through Ecumenical Councils).”

What about someone like +Symeon the New Theologian or +Gregory of Nyssa or +Anthony the Great or +Athanasius the Great ...hmmm? What does one say about the inspired nature of writings of Christians who attained theosis? Because they could err, does that mean they couldn’t be inspired? Surely that can’t be true, Kosta. The Apostles were great doubters and deniers. I think The Church means exactly what it says in the Kontakia.

So, then why didn't the Church add the writings of +Symneon the New Theologian and others to the canon of scripture?
