RE: I have translated writings of the Early Church Fathers on disk translated from Greek given to me by Kolokotronis (who used to post here on FR) that don’t match Philp Schaff CCEl site.

Here’s a question for you — WHY IS THE TRANSLATION GIVEN BY KOLKOTRONIS’ right and Schaff’s wrong?

And why should one believe the attacks on Philip Schaff’s motives?

And please don’t give me a reason of this form : Because Philip Schaff is not Roman Catholic and Kolkotronis is.

That is not an acceptable reason.

I want an objective reason for doubting the correctness of Philip Schaff’s translation.

I think it might be a good idea for you to take a break and pray for Christ to open your heart and do honest research.

I have the seen the prideful know it alls become unglued before,but it is a good thing because it can lead them to humility and truth when they realize they were wrong,unlike Webster -Who I will be at Adoration praying for this week along with you.

I wish you a Blessed evening. Good Night

"I want an objective reason for doubting the correctness of Philip Schaff’s translation."

Faith.

It was Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish Lutheran, who rejected objective reasoning outright as a basis for faith. For Kierkegaard, faith was a fundamentally different process from objective reasoning, a matter of passion rather than reflection. He opposed the notion of proof to that of faith, arguing that faith is only possible when faced with uncertainty:

"Without risk, no faith... If I am able to apprehend God objectively, I do not have faith; but because I cannot do this, I must have faith."

I would also venture to add that to begin with a presumption of Schaff's correctness is not objective.

Peace be with you.
