No, MLG, your assessment is wrong. Orthodoxy has never rejected the teachings of the scriptures.
Of course you have, you reject every bit of Scripture that teaches the Blood Atonement of Christ to pay the penalty of death owed by the Elect for sin.

It is noted that in every example, he has completely avoided those passages as if they do not exist, and just as the Roman Catholic does, points to "tradition", when confronted with the clear teaching of Christ and Apostolic teaching in the Scriptures, a "tradition" that is contrary to the Scriptures, even going so far as to blaspheme God as a "blood lusting god".
Please pray for the EOs.
“Of course you have, you reject every bit of Scripture that teaches the Blood Atonement of Christ to pay the penalty of death owed by the Elect for sin.”
You’ve really got to tell me why you think Orthodoxy rejects the teaching that Christ died on the Cross, suffered the penalty of sin which is death, in a very bloody manner, on account of our sins? MLG, The Church understands what it determined you would read for scripture, honest, it does. So why don’t you tell me what we reject. Oh and while you’re at it, do you really believe that Eve and Satan had sex which resulted in Cain? That’s one I admit I had never heard before.
Christ gave Himself as ransom for our freedom. It was His will to do so. In doing so He destroyed death because death had no power over Him. This has been the doctrine of atonement from the beginning. Then came Anslem...and then, oh Lord, the Portestants.
