Under the circumstances, you have no business telling me to “Make your argument”.

What circumstances? You pontificate worse than a Protestant. After introducing a fatuous dodge pitting Alexandria against Jerusalem to mangle one of Jude's three examples of apostasy, you expect me to follow a direction as spare as "go west" to find a line of reasoning you won't even describe in the broadest of terms, after condescending to me over "Greek lessons?"

I pray such hauteur is not your habit, and if it is, that you repent before it is too late.

“I pray such hauteur is not your habit,...”

Sadly, it is, but what can you expect from the greatest of sinners, +John Chrysostomos notwithstanding. That doesn’t change the fact, however, that you need a Greek lesson. As I suggested, speak to your priest or bishop, or failing them, the local Orthodox priest. The word “presvyia” is very important.

Still haven’t read the Fathers, have you! There’s really no excuse not to, you know.
