"It is truly sad to see that you reject the Apostolic teaching of Scripture."

But we Orthodox do not reject Apostolic teaching. We have preserved it inviolate for 2000 years. I'm trust you will forgive me if I find your notions "innovative".

"What do you think all that talk by Jesus and the Apostles of the Blood of Christ being a "protitiation" and covering of sins is all about? The Old and New Testament are repleat with them."

That's easy. Read this; it will tell you what Orthodoxy believes about atonement:

Look at this and you will see what Orthodoxy believes about atonement:

"I am saddened that you have such a low regard for the Precious Blood of Christ."

Well, I'm saddened that you are saddened, MLG. Truth be told, I receive that Precious Blood on every occasion when I am properly prepared. Tell me something, does the blood lust of the "god" you worship translate in any way into the astonishingly bloody history of Western Christianity? It would seem that that bloody sacrifice has made much of a dent in the West. Like other places infested with heresy, evil seems on the ascendant.

Sure you do, you have rejected every single passage from the Apostolic teaching I have presented you, which is as celar as clear can be, that the Sacrifice of Christ was propitiatory.

We have preserved it inviolate for 2000 years. I'm trust you will forgive me if I find your notions "innovative".

Those "notions" are not "innovative", unless you are now claiming that the clear Apostolic teachings of Scripture are "innovative".

Yes, I know the EO position of the Atonement conquering death.

Why omit the propitiation?

Why Omit everything in the OT and NT Apostolic teaching on the propitiatory nature of the Atonement?
