[OLD REGGIE]

Old R, much as the Protestants want to believe that everything they have a problem with has Roman roots (and I will grant you the Latins have a habit of claiming credit for just about everything) the fact of the matter that each of the dogmas you cite are Eastern in origin.

Please read my #9929 again and tell me where you got the idea I credited the "Roman" Church with these dogmas.

Also, ignore the Early Fathers as you do concerning "Sola Scripture" and justify them from Scripture.

"Old R, much as the Protestants..."

One more time; I am not Protestant. Got it?

In my entire life I don’t think I’ve met 20 Protestant theologians who understand it.

In all my life, I'm guessing many years more than yours, I've never met a single person as intellectually arrogant as you. What does that prove?

I am still at a loss as to how you justify Perpetual Virginity, Bodily Assumption of Mary, and the Trinity.

Would it be possible for you to refrain from telling me how superior you are and answer those simple questions?

“One more time; I am not Protestant. Got it?”

Well, you’re not a Latin, you’re not a Protestant and you’re not Orthodox. Are you a Mohammedan?

“In all my life, I’m guessing many years more than yours, I’ve never met a single person as intellectually arrogant as you.”

Sure you have, Old R; its just that, well, you’ve likely forgotten. :)

“I am still at a loss as to how you justify Perpetual Virginity, Bodily Assumption of Mary, and the Trinity.

Would it be possible for you to refrain from telling me how superior you are and answer those simple questions?”

Easy answer, Old R. I (and all other Orthodox) believe the exact same things our people have believed for the past near 2000 years (or however long it has been since our people gave up paganism) and which is what “The Church Always and Everywhere has Believed”.
