If you mean that Wylie's (numerous) direct citations of Sedulius Scotus are "another Presbyterian author with whom he agrees"...

...You're largely right!! Sedulius Scotus WAS essentially Calvinist Presbyterian in his theology. Nice of you to admit it.

Actually, I referenced that when I talked about how quotes can be found to support the pre-supposed, and erroneous, conclusion.

I see that you like to twist my words into agreeing with you. I believe the time has come for me to shake some dust off my sandals and allow you to twist all the words that you wish, though I can't imagine whom you believe that you are convincing (or serving) with such a tactic.

Good day!

Translation: "I, FormerLib, cannot bear to see, in their own words, what the Celtic Orthodox Fathers actually preached to their flocks."

I'm "twisting" nothing. I am QUOTING. Directly.

And since you have accused me of "twisting" words, with ZERO evidence that I have done so -- you have Borne False Witness, violated the Law of Love, and engaged in willful slander.

I have done none of these things to you. Nowhere have I made (totally unsubstantiated) accusations against your Honesty, just because I was utterly unable to argue your Evidence (you never presented any, at all).

You have done so to me, sir.
And in so doing, you have certainly provided a powerful demonstration of Eastern Orthodox Love in action.

Meditate on that.

Meanwhile, I will pray that God enlightens your understanding... and I wish you the best.

Cordially, OP
