Yes, you posted those exact words in your cite. This leads me to conclude that your source is really not very thoughtful. It seems that he has a definite bias which blinds him to certain realities.Well, the source does come from the Orthodox perspective. I think they believe, like the Roman Catholics, that it was the Councils that gave the "approved" books their authority.
However, you are sidestepping the issue that many of the first and second century Church Fathers believed in a literal 1,000 year reign of Jesus on this Earth.

I never denied that many of the first and second century Chruch fathers believed this. However, your cite, which you acknowledge has problems, actually denies the existence of Amillenniumism. So, it would seem that your source has quite a few problems and is really not worthy of comment, except to say it is shoddy work.
