FK: "Well, then the payment was not a payment in full."

Of course it's full. His death made it possible for all men to be saved, as God desires. He is the master phyiscian who offered to save anyone's life if they come to Him. The condition does not make it partial.

OK, then I suppose if you agreed to sell me something for $200, and I gave you $100, then you would stamp the bill of sale "paid in full" because the condition of my paying you the other hundred does not make my first payment partial. I would find these terms very acceptable indeed. Do you sell on e-bay much? :)

That’s a very odd analogy, FK. In all honesty, your problem, and so far as I can see, the Protestant West’s problem, is that it doesn’t understand what the ransom was for or to whom or why it was paid. You should re-read +Athanasius the Great “On the Incarnation”. Sadly, this couples with what would appear to be a basic misunderstanding of man’s original created nature.

Re: God's partiality -- Do the EO have an Old Testament?

"Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance." -- Psalm 106:4-5
