A propos of a line from On the Incarnation, FK, you wrote,
“VERY un-Apostolic, but I’ll take it in a heartbeat.
How is that un-Apostolic? You mean unBiblical?
No, I mean un-Orthodox. :)”
Odd comment, FK. +Athanasius’ opinion of the Most Holy Theotokos was, well, real high:
“Oh noble Virgin, truly you are greater than any other greatness. For who is your equal in greatness, O dwelling place of God the Word? To whom among all creatures shall I compare you, O Virgin?”
That sound Orthodox to you, FK? It should. In any event, proof texting the Fathers will almost always lead you off the track, especially when you have no sense for the consensus patrum.

Yes, that sounds very Orthodox. And I was trying to be fair when I said: "Now, in all fairness, I do not declare whether +Athanasius actually would have agreed with my inference. :)". Translation: +Athanasius probably WOULDN'T agree with me. :) I was just commenting on how the words "sound" to a non-Orthodox.
