In Acts 19 we learn that St. Paul spent three months teaching in Ephesus"
< "And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God." - Acts 19:8
Do you think Paul spent three months in a vain repetition of Scripture that had not yet been written or that all of what Paul had to say during these three months has been completely captured in Scripture?
For the record, the Council of Ephesus was held in 431 at the Church of Mary. It was convened to address the issue of the Nestorian heresy. Apparently some of our more extreme Protestant brothers and sisters re not content to attack Christianity with the heresies of the 16th century, they now want to destroy its roots by reopening the heresies already dealt with by the Early Church Fathers.
Are you disputing that fact that they then declared Mary to indeed be “the mother of God”? Surely you understand what the dispute with Nestorian was. Trying to hide that fact that the declaration was part of the result of that dispute seems evident an attempt to hide that fact that Mary was declared the “mother of God” and “queen of heaven” in the same city and society that already understood the queen of heaven concept having worshiped Diana the queen of heaven. Can you say adapting pagan understanding and practices to entice locals to Christianity?
All that God wanted us to know is contained in scripture...
It was convened to address the issue of the Nestorian heresy.
And the Nestorian heresy is that they would not bow down to your religion or your pope, and that they refused to call the mother of Jesus the mother of God...
Now those are some real heretics that I wouldn't mind being associated with...
Sounds like Jesus was probably a Nestorian...
