You mean you honestly didn't intend to "irritate" people by using the word "vomit" when describing a man's confession?

And do you not think that, out-of-context, presenting the views of an apostate Ecumenical Patriarch embracing Calvinist heresy as "orthodox" would be soothing to me? Please check the log in your own eye first.

lol. For someone who presumes that God is only love, you display an astounding contempt for your fellow man

You can't sugar-coat heresy, Dr. E. I have no contempt for poor Lucaris. I merely stated that he sold his soul and died before his was killed. I hope he repented before that happened.

Now, as for my statement regarding Lucaris selling his soul to the devil, I merely rephrased what Patriarch Dositheus said at the Council of Jerusalem (1672), which you apprently didn't read:

For it was unreasonable on their part, especially as they considered themselves to be wise, to have listened to men that were lovers of self and profane, and that spoke not from the Holy Spirit, but from the prince of lies, and to have forsaken the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, which God hath purchased with the Blood of His own Son, {cf. Acts 20:28} and to have abandoned her.

And do you not think that, out-of-context, presenting the views of an apostate Ecumenical Patriarch embracing Calvinist heresy as "orthodox" would be soothing to me?

lol. A nap might help.

I'm an optimist. I hope one day God gives you eyes to see Lucaris was a lot closer to the truth than the current EO.
